Ah, that’s completely understandable. Most people don’t realize that in a lot of companies, the decision to make the stupid feature/break your workflow comes from a suit 10 pay grades above your level and despite everyone involved trying to explain that it’s a bad idea.

Also it’s a big fucking company haha

Beat me to it!

Are Apple devs even contractually allowed to say that they’re Apple devs? I swear every employee from every other company won’t shut up about it on twitter but you never hear a thing from Apple people. Have I just been missing them completely?

Installing windows step 4 if you’re playing games not off the main stores, install:

• DirectX 9 Jun 2010
• Visual C++ Redistributables (2008 - whatever the latest is)
• .NET Framework 3.5 (if you wanna play older games. You have to do this from from programs and features)

Huh, this was definitely a fix I used on an older version that I just moved over to a new install with the new drivers so the drm modset line may not be necessary anymore yeah. I’ll check next time I connect to my monitor.

And yeah, it’s def gonna get better. I’ve already seen both wayland and nvidia improve significantly over the last 2-3 years so at this rate, things should “just work” pretty soon (insert meme about year of the Linux desktop).

I vividly remember struggling to get proprietary drivers working on Fedora 37 (or 38, it’s been a minute) only to have them break on the next version on my previous laptop. It was definitely much MUCH easier to install on Fedora 42 on my current one and updates haven’t broken anything for me since 40.

What gamepad are you using? If it’s Xbox One/S/X try out xpadneo

This is graat info. Didn’t know about Ventoy before, it sounds really cool.

Just wanted to add that if you’re running multiple monitors on an nvidia card, you may find that the second monitor has low fps/stutters on wayland (common on dual graphics laptops). The fix is as follows:

Add these 3 lines to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf:

options nvidia-drm modeset=1
options nvidia NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1 NVreg_InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations=0 NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

Add this line to /etc/environment:

KWIN_DRM_DEVICES="/dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000\:01\:00.0-card:/dev/dri/by-path/pci-0000\:00\:02.0-card"

You may have to modify the part that says pci-xxxx\:xx\:xx.x-card with the appropriate values for your graphics card.

Run lspci | egrep VGA to list installed PCI graphics cards and try to map the values from there

I don’t know why this works but it does and it isn’t malicious as far as I can tell. If anyone knows what exactly it’s doing, I’d like to know please.
