Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

got told to crosspost over here to reach more people:

https://kbin.social/m/linuxquestions/p/4631784

I don't know if and how crossposting functions in kbin/lemmy, so hopefully it'll work that way

I have a g15 from the same year (3060) asus linux website is the way,they have a discord too

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

yeah ... as you can see in one of my other comments, I already joined the asus-linux discord and asked the "same" question (really, nearly with the exact same words...) and got , unfortunately, absolutely no reaction to it (besides on comment about "you need to disable the nouveau driver")...

Lots of people to the time to reply here and at kbin.

It probably will not hurt to also ask on https://superuser.com/ https://stackexchange.com/ and Reddit linuxquestions or another appropriate subreddit. To me it seems like Discord is similar like IRC : questions will get snowed under after others write newer things and your reading audience is likely decreasing.

And a question : What are your plans with Linux on your desktop ?

  • Gaming ?
  • Coding ?
  • Reading books and watching videos ?
  • Web surfing ?
  • Social media ?

If you are interested in learning more Linux then a refurbished laptop is a good start to run Linux natively without a dual boot.

Don‘t get me wrong, I‘m not complaining at all, in contrary, I am enormous grateful for any help I get.
I posted alread in reddit as well - subreddits r/Nobara, r/linux4noobs and r/linuxquestions
Asus-Linux has a thready-like area in their discord „general-issues“, where I made the thread…

At first it is to learn how everything behaves, test my use-cases to see, if linux could become an all-dayer for me - that would be the main goal - until then the dual-boot to have a fallback option.

Cool. 👍

In that case, VirtualBox and other emulators could be useful to look into. And WSL may be limited (I've read) but also useful. Never tried WSL but a friend of mine is happy with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

yeah, already played around with VirtualBox and WSL, but there are use-cases (e.g. in gaming) where just an emulation can't really show what's possible and what not, that's why I would love to have the dualboot, so I can reliably test everything without any excuses like "runs probably bad because of emulation"

I will try to help you troubleahoot it when I am free

@lemmyreader

tried just right now. I get „booting a command list“ and nothing more, stays like that and USB Devices seem to be off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Okay, too bad, thanks for trying. Nvidia apparently is a pain with Linux currently. Years ago it was the opposite, people were told to go for Nvidia.

With Ventoy https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html you can put lots of Linux iso images on one usb stick which can save you some time. For example try OpenSuse https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers

@lemmyreader
Thank you for the suggestion, I really do appreciate anyone who could have a clue what could go wrong and takes the time trying to help me out.

Yeah, Ventoy is the latest I had to burn the ISOs on the USB and stayed with it since :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You could try this The OP installed the drivers from an older iso and then upgraded. Manjaro Linux is not very much liked by many but you could give it a try. If it works you can go for plain Arch or EndeavourOS. From what I found the closed source Nvidia driver exist since 2022 so don't use an iso that is too old :-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

ok took me 3 days to test, apologies :D
but unfortunately, no, doesn't work. Even the "old" iso stucks at the exact same position with the exact same behavior :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Will have look into it and try it out, but will need some time. Will defo reply back once tested 👍🏻 thank you!

Tried nvidia-drm.modeset=1 as kernel parameter already ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I tried so many parameter, that i can‘t remember anymore everyone ^^ but tried just now, unfortunately no change, same behavior

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately i can't help you, but just to be sure, have you downloaded the -nvidia version of the ISO? In case, check it out

Also try not to daily run with acpi=off, especially on a laptop, as it won't be very power efficient

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

@orsetto
it's not a laptop, it's a desktop.
Yes, I did download the -nvidia versions, didn't do the trick and daily run it with acpi=off is no option since many things don't work anyways with that setting
