Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be impatiently & excitedly waiting for the open source Nvidia drivers get good enough for me to switch. I do afteral have at least 4 more years of life in my card.😜

Try Nvidia vaapi driver! On arch you gotta make sure you setup hardware acceleration no matter what hardware your rocking.

I think Firefox defaults to Wayland now but you can check by going to about:support in Firefox and seeing if it's running in Wayland or XWayland. Hardware video acceleration isn't supported in XWayland as far as I can tell. I don't know about chrome you'll just half to look that up your self.

Not broken on Wayland just gnome. X11 has its issues but on pretty much every other Wayland desktop gsync works fine. Gsync also works under x11 if all your monitors support the same refresh rate and gsync/freesync.

Having different refresh rates on different screens never worked on x11 weather you were using AMD or nvidia it just defaults to the lowest refresh rate.

You say that like it's a bad thing.😄 Whatever he learns on arch he can bring with him to any other distro. Heak he could have tried it on the other distros to get his system working.

I'm not trying to be mean but this sounds like someone who didn't understand his system at all and he's about to learn a lot.

Things are changing fast. Nvidia has their own "open source drivers" that are almost identical to the proprietary ones and the NVK project has open source drivers that might outperform the proprietary drivers in most games.

Now the only reason you might install the property drivers by the end of this year is cuda and potentially open CL.I think they're protective of their drivers because about the only thing separating their rt cards from their quatro cards are their drivers and software locked features. Quartos probably get put in more Linux systems than any other type of system.

Damn, I thought it was a requirement to shit post on Twitter while you're shitty code compiles. How am I supposed to become a real programmer now? I guess I still got mastodon.

I'm not autistic but this feels like influencers that make false promises and people in tough situation.

Come to the dark side, join the sid.

Yeah, when my new iPad broke and I had to go back to my old iPad. I forgot how much more convenient the fingerprint reader was compared to face I'd.

On the iPad at least if you had it standing up on its own or flat on a table it was no bueno for face I'd. You know, like showing recipes or a big e-reader while learning to code from an e-book. I miss that big screen, it was like carrying a nice netbook screen with me everywhere.

I love seeing people enjoy arch and I'm not discouraging anyone from trying it. Ubuntu kinda sucks but most people coming from windows don't feel comfortable doing anything in the terminal. Debian drivitaives and fedora are probably a safer bet.

If it wasn't for the CLI first approach for arch and the dangers using potentially unstable or malicious packages in the aur I'd recommend arch derivatives to everyone. It's exceedingly rare but I have been left with broken packages a couple times in my first year of using arch. The aur isn't vetted or controlled to the degree the official arch repositories and could leave them open to downloading malicious code if they don't check the package first. Literally anyone can put whatever they want on the aur until someone notices.

With Debian derivatives I find the Debian wiki along with the forms of your distro a 1 2 punch that can be almost as good as archlinux wiki and communities. I do agree with you the information for issues you might have on arch is everywhere. That comes from a crowd of enthusiast and they typically, understandably expect a level of understanding and independence that you don't find with average users (sorry average user).

I like OpenRC! I never really measured it but it feels like a much faster boot time than systemd. I'd have to get used to the syntax and writing my own scripts but if the majority of Linux distros switched to it tomorrow I'd enjoy it.

Big and small projects alike typically have poor documentation for alternative init systems and what they depend on in the aystemd ecosystem so I'll probably stick to systemd for now. The poor documentation on alternative init systems is probably one of the biggest reasons Gentoo doesn't move fast on getting new projects in their repos.
