What the.... they're working so fast!!!! At this pace, NVK could probably equal, if not surpass the proprietary drivers by the end of the year!

Only 1 question: how will that affect Wayland support for Nvidia?

I'm an AMD user, but I'm curious.

Yeah ut does anyone know when it will arrive in other distros' repos, e.g Fedora, Arch and NixOS?

Never realised this could lead to a loss from the game dev

Edit: So do it for Ubisoft, EA etc. but not for indie games. Got it.

Oh wait. realises you can't do it for big companies anymore

On RedHat-provided Life Support, yes, but dead, not yet. Only when Redhat ends support for RHEL 9, and thus, for X.Org.

How is it that Piracy is better than Key reselling sites? Am I missing something?

Going without a smartphone is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can help combat social media addiction, and let's admit it: we're all using our phones too much. The issue is many people can't do it because they need a phone.

I read the entire thing, and you have almost sold me. There's 1 thing missing for me and that's Hyprland. If we get an Atomic Fedora Hyprland edition, I'd love to give it a try. I'm currently running Hyprland on Fedora Sway and I love it! It seems to be the only distro to fit my needs in terms of release cycle and package availability. However, I currently want to steer clear of atomic distros because I sometimes need to compile from source. And while I don't think I'd want them as a daily driver, I definitely want to try out Fedora's approach to this (after using NixOS for a while).

Some Linux Youtubers like Luke Smith, unfortunately have some weird political views that they push onto their viewers alongside the Linux stuff. For example, if you can look past all the controversial stuff from Luke Smith, you can find a "Vimtutor Let's Play" video from him where he goes through vimtutor and actually teaches a lot of cool things that aren't a part of vimtutor (personally, I learned quite a lot from that video).

Yeah. I'm on Fedora currently and it turns out that, through Copr and rpmfusion, I could get everything set up and all my packages installed so I've been on it for a few days now, and with dnf5, install speeds are actually good so I've decided to stick to it, and I think I'll keep on using it for the foreseeable future, probably at least until the release of Fedora 40 (at which point, if all my packages and Copr repos are updated for Fedora 40, I'll probably upgrade to it, as it seems there is really nothing better for me out there: I've tried Arch, NixOS, Tumbleweed, Debian, Ubuntu, Void, and many others and they all lack something I need). So, Fedora might just become my forever distro, but who knows? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'll admit, I've barely used Manjaro so I'm just repeating what I've heard. It still doesn't matter because Manjaro is still a rolling release and I don't want one of those anymore.

Yeah, I switched to AwesomeWM for the time being, but I'll be honest, I'm getting fed up of it all. I think I'll try Fedora later and if that doesn't work for me.... I really don't know what I'll switch to.

Even on Debian 12? That's what I've installed now and I really want to give it a shot.

Edit: tried setting up Hyprland via the Manual install from Releases way, it needed a few libxcb dependencies and it needed execute permissions, but after that I hit a roadblock: libxcb-errors which doesn't seem to be available on Debian.
