Depends on what you’re doing at University. I was using Arch but an update caused CUDA to stop working so I couldn’t work on an assignment. Why did it stop working? They updated CUDA to 12.3 days before updating the NVIDIA driver to a version which supported CUDA. The maintainers are mostly negligent and the community is rather toxic so I’d avoid Arch for that kind of thing. NixOS looks interesting and has lots of benefits however, for a dedicated University computer I would recommend using the most boring Linux distro available like Fedora or Ubuntu.

I’m not sure (I’m about to install it for the first time - on this computer) - According to this all you need to do is:


<span style="color:#323232;"># nix-channel --add https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-23.11 nixos
</span><span style="color:#323232;"># nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
</span>

Though the difference is AUR packages aren’t officially supported or tested and are commonly out of date. They also need to be built on your system

The APIs aren’t wildly different so it’s not so much translation but an implementation of the DirectX API. Some GPU vendors have better Vulkan drivers than DX (Intel) which may give performance improvements.

You’re right TempleOS is the only perfect OS

I’ve got a bit of experience with NVIDIA Optimus laptops on Linux so here’s some questions:

  • What exactly is the problem?
  • Are games not running on NVIDIA?

In this case you need to add an environment variable to the launch options in steam, the name of which has escaped me (should be on OPTIMUS page of Arch wiki)

  • Or is the driver not working at all?
  • What desktop environment/wm are they using?

For example if you’re using GNOME in the settings program in the about the system section (the last one) and in the System information dialog check to make sure it says something like “NVIDIA GTX 1050 Mobile”. Also make sure the NVIDIA driver program shows up with the other apps

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

It’s just the shit design of Android: no bios and firmware must be bundled in the rom

Electron can be done well, like vscode does. In saying that, it almost never seems to happen

Electron was made for Atom and I think, though I’m not 100% that code is based on Atom

Hell will freeze over before he accepts a pull request on GitHub or uses Issues for discussions. I believe his behaviour serves only to scare away contributors and embolden elitists.

To be fair the extension developers were given quite a while to update their extensions to use JavaScript modules instead of the custom GNOME solution. This was actually a change for the better and unlikely to happen again which should make extension development easier. As for better tiling look up their mosaic thing which was announced a while ago, though I’m unsure as to how soon that will come out.

Also try to remember that GNOME is developed mostly by volunteers who frankly owe you nothing

I switchee to Arch the other month, its been alright except for CUDA getting an update before the NVIDIA driver so I couldn’t run my assignment locally. But I assume that’s my fault because Arch maintainers are all care and no responsibility.

I might be looking into NixOS soon

The thing is with a small app ads pay f all compared to the ongoing development costs. $100usd a year for Apple developer license, recent Mac and time spent developing it.

What’s even worse is that when they use SI units they don’t even spell them right. They write meters whereas the rest of the world writes metres
