  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I never understood this. Maybe because I stick with basic distros like Ubuntu or Mint. But I have not had this issue.

    I had issues in like... 2010 or so. But not for about a decade

    I saw a meme about sound cards recently and thousands of likes on social media.

    And I wonder if it's people up voting because they remember that era, if it's bots, or if it's just people who kinda get the joke and don't want to be left out?

    [–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

    most likely the last one. especially in computer science, there's always a lot of people who sorta understand and just want to be included. that's why most computer science memes are "JavaScript bad" or "python slow" or other super basic mass opinions. I feel like it's super rare I see an actually original computer science meme

    I haven't had issues for about a decade. I haven't had an nvidia card for about a decade either. I think the two may be connected.

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

    I will say as someone who uses a NVIDIA card gaming through proton works flawlessly. Certain apps may have bugs. I'm having this one issue where H.265 videos don't play properly in VLC or MPV.

    It depends a lot on which specific GPU you have and whether it's a laptop.

    New-ish GPU in a desktop with the monitor plugged directly into the GPU? Easy to get working, literally a checkbox on most distros.

    1000 series GPU or older in a laptop and you need reasonable battery life and/or some "advanced" features like DP Alt-Mode? Good luck.

    Edit: Also, no Wayland until very recently. Possibly never, depending on the age of the GPU.

    Got a 2070 TI EVGA. They don't make those anymore!

    I used Ubuntu for many years on an nvidia machine and had a shit ton of nvidia problems, but I haven't used Ubuntu for a long time now so I would hope there's been progress. The experience has made me a lifelong AMD user since though.

    Same, I'm on OpenSUSE, nVidia hosts its own OpenSUSE repo. As far back as 8 years(for me) you add the repo and add the driver. Everything works.

    [–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

    Saaame. There was a while there where Wayland didn't work on the repo version so I had to go full manual, but otherwise it's been almost perfect now, Wayland and all.

    Fedora here and same. It's just a few commands to get started and everything else works fine
