So what the hell is alt drag?

Thanks for sharing Linuxquestions. I’m new to the ecosystem but my stuff works well for my current needs, so being exposed to people’s problems and the methods for approaching them is a great way to passively expand my knowledge.

Seconded, I didn’t realize how bad Win 10 has gotten because I’ve used LTSC since Win 7. A far more bearable experience.

No that seems to be entirely about Twitter.

Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?

It takes a little time to start introducing you to the unique parts, it feels a little afraid to alienate traditional shooter fans but once it gets rolling nothing is quite like it.

For the people in the back

My vote also goes to qtile. Easily configured and very capable.

I do this. It’s part of a GPU passthrough setup, but in practice there aren’t many applications that require PRIME offload. I don’t use it for web browsers where I watch a lot of videos. I haven’t used VLC in a little bit but I’m pretty sure I don’t use it there either. Games and graphical applications. If I was doing video editing or modeling I would probably want it there too.

Windows 11 is a bridge too far. I’m done with having my operating system being sold to me as a service, or monetizing my usage. Windows 10 was already unusable in any format other than LTSC.

The strides we’ve seen in gaming on Linux are possible largely with Valve’s support, and I might have made the jump earlier if we had those abilities sooner. Dual booting has never been a realistic use case for a computer given the way I use one.

I try to protect my privacy as best I can. I prefer the use of open source software where I can get it. Libre is even better. My reasons are both practical and ideological. But I don’t live in a world where I can reasonably cut out all proprietary software, and I honestly wouldn’t consider trying. There are far more important fights in my world.

I haven’t tried the new update but this gives me high hopes for what my 6800 can chew through.

It’s not an FPS problem, it’s a visual fidelity problem stemming from a bad port.

I currently have a VFIO setup and it works great. There’s just almost nothing I need it for with how great Proton has become. I have an AMD APU and GPU. My Linux desktop runs on the APU and only offloads to the discrete GPU when invoked with the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable.

Virt-Manager has the ability to run scripts at certain points in the VM startup and shutdown process. This is what I use to reassign the GPU to the VFIO stub driver so it can be handed to Windows, remove half of my CPU cores from the process scheduler so Windows isn’t suffering constant cache misses, and open looking-glass which uses a shared memory device to render the GPU output in a window on my desktop with minimal latency. Scream starts on login to handle audio, and you’re going to want to use a shared memory device for that because it has latency problems over network.

I’ve been told I have one foot in each bucket labeled “single GPU passthrough” and the other labeled “dual GPU passthrough”. If you’ve only got one you’ll have to exit your X or Wayland session to use the VM because your GPU cannot abide two masters. Nvidia has a functional equivalent to Prime, I think, but I don’t think it just works out of box. I understand Nvidia isn’t happy about their consumer cards being handed to VMs as it’s usually an expensive enterprise trick, so there might be a workaround process there.

The Arch wiki has a great tutorial on GPU passthrough using VFIO and OVMF, that’s probably your best bet on an arch based system like Manjaro.

Just another old dude complaining that his interests and the internet spaces that discuss them has become more accessible in the last thirty years. This type of greybeard elitism got in my way when I was trying to learn and if I hadn’t been self motivated to keep learning, that might have been the end of it. The biggest takeaway from this discussion is that Google is regressing in usefulness and that discord was always a bad place to store information.

The reason this is being asked is because the PC port for GTA IV was notoriously broken. There is a popular set of patches and mods that will improve that and I know they come bundled in the fit girl repack but it’s one of the ones that won’t play nice with WINE during installation.

As far as I know, Ubuntu is unique in its insistence on snaps. I can’t really speak for any others but my system runs fine entirely on native or locally compiled packages known to my package manager.

So you don’t want to hear about the arch box I leave hot and live for two months at a time?

Now, I know what you’re thinking, who in their right mind would suggest Archlinux for a beginner?

I did this to follow some arcane manuals to hand my entire GPU over to a windows vm. It’s a neat trick and I’ve learned a unbelievable amount in a short time, but it can be frustrating as all hell and took probably a month of getting things the way they needed to be.

My guy do you really not understand the shared desire of corporations to prevent solidarity and organization among workers?

Please forgive me, I’m going to keep asking this everywhere I can until hopefully get an answer.

I love librewolf and I want to use it, but I can’t get it to render the symbols that some websites use to make their UI work. I’ve tried downloading fonts but they’re all mapped to private use area. I think they need to be downloaded on a per website basis but librewolf seems to categorically refuse.

I really want to stop using brave and I honestly don’t want to figure out arkenfox.
