Strit, in Switching GPU
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I know of PRIME, which can be used to offload work to dedicated GPU’s.

I’ve also found this article that doesn’t add nvidia to the mix. But in general it seems to work the same for both as long as you have the drivers proper for your hardware installed

Noctechnical, in what caused you to get into Linux?

How to dual boot linux mint and windows (ended up accidentally ended up just having mint on my drive).

Try Krita instead of Gimp. I switched to krita few months ago and its keep improving.

That or inkscape

PlexSheep,

I use all 3, they serve different purposes. GIMP is image Manipulation (it’s in the name), Krista is drawing, and inkscape is designing stuff and svgs.

Basically servers and Pis.

If you wanted to host your own site and services, a Linux vps was (and still is) the only choice. Back then it was Debian, nowadays I use Arch on everything. Same with Raspberry Pis when the first one became available in 2012. With university I started using Arch on my laptop and later when Proton and Wayland became good, I moved to it on the Desktop as well.

OS2/Warp

IBM showed us there could be a superior OS that wasn’t Windows or Mac. Been chasing that dragon ever since.

TheGrandNagus, in What are people daily driving these days?

Fedora Workstation. Couldn’t be happier.

isVeryLoud,

Same, it’s a “it just works” distro.

tfw_no_toiletpaper, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Ey @linuxguys I might install a desktop distro on a notebook with Nvidia card I no longer really use to get used to it. I sometimes have to work with Debian servers but I have no more than basic knowledge about Linux. Any distro recommendations, regarding desktop use and gaming (if the notebook is supported at all…)?

endhits,

If it has those hybrid graphics setups, pop os is made to support those by default. And their flavor of gnome is pretty good, they even have a fully custom DE coming eventually.

I’ve been using Linux for a long time on various other systems but what caused me to finally ditch Windows completely on my daily driver was:

A nonconsensual Windows Update which caused my bitlocker encryption to become corrupted and I lost everything on that disk.

This unscheduled reformat combined with all the other shady practices on Windows lately cemented my choice.

It’s been several months now and I couldn’t be happier!

The quality of gaming on Linux has advanced an incredible amount in the last year or so since I’ve tried it. Most of my games will either run natively or require a few extra clicks to use proton in steam. A few outliers that aren’t on steam required Lutris.

On average I find the performance in games is better on Linux, even for non-native games using proton/wine.

Definitely would recommend giving it a shot if you are on the fence. Particularly if you’ve tried gaming in the past and were disappointed.

DarkThoughts, in Request for help, I broke some graphics

I get the same error when trying to update. What's the correct way to fix it?!

Shareni,

Don’t use “dnf update”, just “sudo nobara-sync”.

It’s not a problem because the update script automatically skips the other GPU packages. Uninstalling it would be an issue because some nobara packages depend on it.

DarkThoughts,

I used the commands OP provided, which is also what's been posted on the official page and it seemed to have worked without issues for me. At least in regards to me not having any graphical issues.

tiny_electron, in I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better

This is really cool. I would like to see it merged

PRUSSIA_x86, in what caused you to get into Linux?

It came to me in a dream

TrickDacy, in I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds amazing to me. I don’t use gnome on a laptop much thusfar but I’d definitely prefer what you describe here

mmstick, (edited ) in Why are there so many (rust) GTK apps and so little Qt ones?
@mmstick@lemmy.world avatar

GNOME was focusing on building Rust bindings for GTK for many years before Qt development picked up. The GTK bindings were usable within a year or two after Rust’s 1.0 release. Yet even today, those looking to build applications in Rust will find that GTK is the only mature toolkit right now. And if you’re doing that today, I’d recommend starting with Relm4 for the best GTK Rust experience.

Rust does not support the C++ ABI, and Qt does not provide a C interface, so much work has to be done on building the tooling for binding C++ libraries to Rust. That work is still ongoing, so some have opted to use QML instead of interfacing with Qt C++ libraries. Yet if you’re looking to use Qt or QML, you may as well use Slint instead. It’s developed by former Qt/Trolltech developers and has a similar approach as QML.

InternetLefty, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Embedded Linux is such a huge part of embedded software in every industry. I’ve done a bit with build root but mostly Yocto. There is just no replacement for the Linux kernel. If I need to know how the kernel actually handles a platform driver, I can just look up the relevant source. This is just impossible with Windows (IoT or otherwise)

hexagonwin, in how can I customise my Ubuntu theme without breaking anything??

Don’t get scared. Even when you f*ck up the most you can just wipe out the theme related files from your home folder and start from scratch. GNOME is probably the least customizable, among DEs KDE, XFCE, LXDE, MATE, they all work well, or you could also try tiling wms or classic wms like fvwm…
