I love how everyone understands the issue wrong. It's not about being on Windows or Linux. It's about the ecosystem that is common place and people are used to on Windows or Linux. On windows it's accepted that every stupid anticheat can drop its filthy paws into ring 0 and normies don't mind. Linux has a fostered a less clueless community, but ultimately it's a reminder to keep vigilant and strive for pure and well documented open source with the correct permissions.

BSODs won't come from userspace software

Hey there, thanks for the comprehensive reply, I learned a lot. Also, your blog is fantastic, I'm always happy when there's a new post =)

Question about the last point: I feel like in SDR mode, the OLED is pushing brighter images. I almost feel like it's underselling the capabilities at 270, but does so to give pixels a rest every now and then, in the hope that the bright spots don't stay stationary on the screen. It's a wild guess, I have no idea.

I think it was win 8. I've dual booted excessively until dxvk basically made such a dent in the gaming exclusivity that I just stayed and enthusiastically followed it grow into perfection

Similar situation here. My binbows software is now stuck in a padded room (VM) while I'm enjoying the freedom 😎 my condolences if you're on less than 16GB RAM though

😤 as far as I'm concerned every Anna is guilty until proven innocent. After that we can investigate Berta.

I'm on endeavour, though i also really liked manjaro. in terms of nvidia+wayland I'd say it's very flaky.

  • vrr works SOMETIMES. i have to log out and in 2-3 times into my account until the option shows in the settings, and also functions as proven using vrrtest-git
  • standby corrupts cuda and you'll need to modprobe or reboot to fix it.
  • hdr shows up but looks really grey and colorless for me, but it might be my monitor's edid being faulty. kde's sdr color vibrance option didn't help.
  • external screens are dropping frames, down to 30fps, where it was fine on windows with 60.

Keep in mind this is a 3060 laptop gpu. that means it could well be due to mux switching or whatever else. nonetheless i think nvidia seems more reliable on xorg as of this point in time, and I'm not going to buy another nvidia gpu.

this might not apply to desktop cpus at all but i thought I'd share these in case someone else has the issues as well and knows a fix, or knows for sure it's better on desktop, so i can reconsider my stance for a tower build 🤔

there are too many little details to point out but windows just controls your experience too much. for example on a widescreen i don't want to be forced to have the taskbar on the long edge. and up to including w10 the taskbar placement could be chosen. in windows 11 it's forbidden... i installed a software to hack this but of course then explorer.exe breaks every 10 minutes.

the spirit of computer technology is a universal tool. Microsoft strongarms the user to be a tool. so no thanks

bought hades 2 straight up without reviews and knowing it's gonna be wonky early access, just because the dev has a history of honest and inspired banger games. 😎👍

keep in mind that most profiteering rats pile onto the biggest cash cow games. indie scene is better than ever these days

keine sorge, das wird. die lernen in der Schule recyceln, zeigen es denn Eltern, und dann fahren die jede woche mit dem suv 10 PET Flaschen zum Supermarkt ☺️

hast im großen und ganzen Recht aber wenn man nicht solange damit beschäftigt gewesen wäre Diesel Zahlen zu fälschen, wäre man vielleicht schon etwas weiter... Und jetzt muss schnell etwas passieren, aber leider haben sich die Machtstrukturen wohl noch nicht allzu sehr verändert. Da würde ich als einzelner schon gerne einfach ein billiges e-auto haben wollen.
