shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•NVIDIA 555 Beta Linux Graphics Driver Released with Explicit Sync Support4·1 year agoThere was no sync at all in the last drivers, now we have good sync, it should be nice smooth experience once everything updates
Reading 100% feels better, seeing tiny icons/logos without it being a pixelated mess is also good, and video looks much crisper, same goes for videogames, and the performance hit from 1080 to 1440 isn’t bad at all.
shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux Mint 22 Will Include Preinstalled App for Matrix17·1 year agoSome will use the built in note editor, some the built in music player, some the built in video player, and now some will use matrix
Mint isn’t overly bloated, or even “bloated”, these apps are useful for a decent part of the demographic, and having them preinstalled lowers the friction a new user feels when installing a new OS
shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What would an ENSH*TTIFIED Linux distro look like? [video]234·1 year agoGnome isn’t bad, at all. The team has caused controversy and made mistakes, but gnome’s experience is great.
Talking about ubuntu, snaps suck, and it is more “bloated” than what you’d expect, but still, ubuntu isn’t half bad. Is mint better for what the ubuntu audience wants? Yes. Does ubuntu still work well? Yes
And ubuntu server rocks
shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is the most popular Linux distribution on PC?15·1 year agoUbuntu 100%, if you count how many distros are ubuntu based (and collaterally debian based), but I believe it is the most used one even if you only count official ubuntu releases
Maybe arch would be quite high, if you count the steamdeck as desktop (maybe), and the big increase on arch users in the past couple of years (wen’t from being rare to 1 in 3 users saying “I use arch btw”)
Fedora 40 with kde plasma 6 dropped a day or two ago, and they did remove x11, you have to get it from the repo in case you want it, otherwise, it only comes and is planned for wayland, which I believe is great, for once it does seem like the year of wayland
Your work app may be electron based (which is a bit too common nowadays), and until they update to electron 29, wayland won’t probably work.
(or until they add xwayland video bridge, but the former option is better than the latter.
I don’t know how you messed that up, usually the switch is as easy as it can be, and the issue comes when using it, for its lack of explicit sync, causing apps to flicker, and frame pacing in games to be plain bad
This is being fixed in the next two months thankfully
Edit: Taking about Nvidia wayland support here, AMD and Intel are great

Let’s use codeberg :))
shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!1·1 year agoIs explicit sync a good enough solution to make wayland gaming with nvidia a reality(+ remove window flickering like some people claim it will)? It’s the last obstacle I find now trying to move my main pc to linux, and I don’t really want to use x11.
Pd. Lesson learned, next time I’ll get an AMD gpu.
shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•I made a plain text Linux cheat sheet as a reference and for beginners.1·1 year agoI’ve needed something like this for a while, thank you buddy

shaytan@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.ml•Reddit is licensing its content to Google to help train its AI models3·1 year agoI just have to port over some guides I did in the past to iFixit, and then I’ll pull the trigger on reddit. <
Thanks for making my decision easier.
NVK is great overall, for gaming eeeeh, no, sadly. I think it’s getting improvements for vulkan gaming
But 555 beta is already much better than 550 on wayland
