How does that relate to Linux usage?

Both CachyOS and ALHP are reasonably popular

never heard of them. I need to research a bit more until I activate what is basically another "dangerous" non-maintainer repository. Thank you a lot for your links and explanations!

How can I trust them? At least with Arch there's the "many eyes" principle.

I actually had them install Ubuntu Christian Edition and showed them the bible apps where they could even use their own interpretation of the bible.

I don't like to waste my time just to fuck with people, I usually try to fuck with people in a way which benefits society as a whole.

Can I also compile a list of selected packages from the repositories fresh easily? E.g. Firefox? Or do I have to download their PKGBUILD to makepkg?

You can reduce transmit power and enable meshing and roaming in conjunction.

I did that and converted a Jehovah's Witness to Linuxism.

I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3. in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise)

They have stickers which tell you they're cheaper than eBay when that's actually not the case? Isn't that illegal?

Where's the difference between march=native and march=x86-64 in that case?

thanks for reminding me. Didn't activate this on my new install since I got 64G of RAM :)

systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I think this is not needed since psd.service has the following in it:

Wants=psd-resync.service

Running Steam games on the correct dGPU with DRI_PRIME environment variable (feddit.de)
 

I added the following to the launch options in Steam:

DRI_PRIME=0 DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%

ID 0 is my dedicated GPU (displayed as AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT), ID 1 my internal GPU (just displayed as AMD Radeon Graphics; it's in an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D).

However, the game (in this case Satisfactory, an Unreal Engine 5 game) still runs on GPU 1, the iGPU. Even when I edit the Steam .desktop launcher file to run the command like this:

  • Environment variables: DRI_PRIME=0
  • Executable: /usr/bin/steam-native
  • Arguments: %U

It still gets started on the wrong GPU with obviously abysmal performance. How do I fix this?

AMD Rewards Product Verification Tool (pvt.sh) doesn't detect qualifying product. (feddit.de)
 

I want to enter an AMD Rewards code and downloaded the AMD PVT from https://www.amdrewards.com/pvt.

However, once I enter my code, the program says:

AMD PRODUCT VERIFICATION TOOL - Linux CLI
v0.9.9.6


System check did not pass.
A qualifying AMD product was not detected in your system. Please install the qualifying AMD product and try again.

What can I do about that? Why does it not detect a qualifying product even though I clearly have it installed in my system as shown by lspci?

Which FOSS software is essential to small businesses and better than their proprietary counterpart? (feddit.de)
 

I really like Syncthing, Nextcloud, Forgejo and Mailcow to collaborate with colleagues.

Kimai allows me to track hours and get paid.

Barrier allows me to use several computers at once.

Xen Orchestra is pretty much on par with VMWare stuff and way cheaper.

What other awesome software does allow you to work more efficiently in a business context and stays out of your way?

Open source databases: What are they and why do they matter? (www.theregister.com)

For developers, there is no debate. The future of the database is open source. A glance at the 2022 Stack Overflow survey of around 70,000 code-wranglers shows nearly all pros use one of the two leading open source RDBMSes, PostgreSQL (46.5 percent) or MySQL (45.7 percent), although they use other systems as well.
