What did you have to change for VRR? I’m also having an issue where I need to force the EDID and haven’t been able to get VRR
Looks like a whole bunch of conversation about this topic can be found here:
Take note this is an informal blog post, I somehow thought this was “official”… but it’s just sort of a rambling update on various items. Still good insider info
Archive.org is essential. I donate regularly, they are a key part of the infrastructure of the internet now…
So, basically shitposting poisons AI training. Good to know 👍
Is this secure drive erasure 🤔🤔🤔
If you haven’t I would join the Matrix space, really helps when there’s a gap in the docs!
If you are experience flickering in apps and your windowing system is Wayland, there is likely a fix coming this month in the next NVIDIA patch. And, Gnome and KDE either already have or are working on their side. Here’s a good jumping off point to understand why Nvidia support for Linux is essentially incomplete until this gets flowed out to all users: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Explicit-GPU-Sync-XWayland-Go
Gamescope is a Valve thing that is also related, helps make stuff work on Linux
I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and it has BTRFS and snapper (snapshot manager) set up by default, with all necessary system subvolumes already created. It’s been a great experience for gaming so far, and actually the best experience with NVIDIA drivers I’ve had! All you would need to do is create a separate BTRFS subvolume and snapper config for your games folder and you’d be good to go, without worrying about any other setup! No need to use EXT4 at all. Additionally, there is very detailed snapper documentation on the openSUSE website.
Additionally, you can get support from the community in the openSUSE Matrix Space: https://matrix.to/#/%23space:opensuse.org
Use the support channel (#support:opensuse.org) or the gaming channel (#gaming:opensuse.org)
Right… does it even make sense that installing all recommended packages is the default zypper behavior? Lyx for example will install a 2GB Tex distribution by default, which will conflict with any existing Tex install. Why on earth is that the default… If you are installing Lyx, you very likely at least understand that you need to choose a Tex distribution.
You can already write a for loop that handles whitespace in file names, just use quotes around the file name variable:
I use Lyx with a local Texlive install, and it works great (openSUSE tumbleweed)
Yeah I believe asdf is a kind of package/version manager, so probably similar. And yes when you install you will see the Proton-GE version as an additional Proton version you can apply in the game options, but it does not overwrite the already installed proton versions

I recommend installing it via asdf, which is described in the installation section of the github readme
TL;DR It uses the Matrix protocol to make every post E2E encrypted in the same way a Matrix chat is. Except they added more separation between people in the “Circles” functionality. Instead of everyone seeing all content like in a chat room, you have to invite people to follow your timeline. And only those people who have been invited can see your posts, and vice versa. I’m not sure he said it specifically, but it was implied that unless people have invited each other to see their posts, they can’t interact with each other in the same circles (he used an example of two people not liking each other and both being able to see a 3rd person’s timeline, but not each others timeline/posts). So essentially it offers encryption and social media like usage but with a sane privacy stance…aka nobody can find you via stalking your mutuals and nobody can just google and DM you out of the blue. Basic photo and sharing is available, apparently improving those features is what is planned for this year. You can also self host it if you wanted, as it just runs off a Matrix server (although they currently provide a US and Europe matrix server run by the FUTO company that funds the app development). Looks like they plan on charging for storage space (1.99$/month for 10GB is what it says in the app right now), and I’m not sure how much storage you get for free.
Having BTRFS snapshots set up for root: 😀
Elbow on the keyboard issues this command before the sudo timeout: sudo rm -rf ./testdir/cd $HOME
RIP home directory 😭 and still figuring out the best way to do snapshots of home without using timeline snapshots and using a ton of space…
My current tower started out on Windows, and for some reason after a year or so it started crashing out randomly. Load didn’t matter, it would pass benchmark tests and then crash randomly 5mins after boot. However there was not a single useful error I could find. Installed Fedora, and looked at journalctl after a crash. Immediately I see “GPU has fallen on the bus”. Apparently it is relatively common, but I also found a thread that said it actually can be caused by loose connection. Did a complete reinstall on my GPU, haven’t had the problem again (~6mo now, had both 535 and 545 drivers). Sometimes it really might be a descriptive error message 😆
I use BTRFS and even have convenient Snapper snapshotting set up. It works great. Here is a whole step by step guide on how to set up your system with it: https://sysguides.com/install-fedora-with-snapshot-and-rollback-support
Because beginners have no idea about OS architecture concepts. If they are a true beginner coming from Windows or MacOS they may not understand things like the Linux boot process. Of course they can read the Arch install procedure which I’ve heard is excellent, but many people are easily intimidated by documentation and often view computers as a tool that should just work out of the box without them needing to understand it. Mint is an attempt at making that happen. Obviously, once you start to modify your Mint install alot you are going to run into issues, and a highly modified or customized system is where distros like Arch and Tumbleweed actually become easier to maintain. I’d argue Mint is a natural first step to the Linux pipeline. People who only need a web browser will probably stop there, while others will continue to explore distros that better fit their needs.
