NvidiaGPU working
what world do you live in? I have even newer driver than that and it's still buggy!
This isn't really how this format works but ok
everyone in the comments is talking about linux, not a single comment about how this meme format is used exactly wrong
Linux isn't ready.
While many things will work 'out of the box', many won't. Hell, for like 3 months HDR was causing system-wide crashes on Plasma for Nvidia cards, so the devs just disabled the HDR options until there was an upstream fix.
There are still a host of resume-from-sleep issues, Wayland support is still spotty, and most importantly - not every piece of software will run.
Linux is my daily driver, I have learned to live and love the jank. My wife uses windows and does not want to be confronted with a debugging challenge 5% of the time when she turns on her computer, and I think that is fair.
These kinds of posts paper over lots of real issues and can be counterproductive. If someone jumps into the ecosystem without understanding, these kinds of posts only set them up for frustration and disappointment.
Fractional Scaling (Done)
Can you please tell my computer that? 😄
The fact is, if my favourite game doesn't run on Linux, Linux is dead to me.
Similarly to some software that has no direct alternatives.
Which sucks.
His favorite game Is always one that doesn't work on Linux /s
Linux devs will NEVER suffer kernel level anticheat, so all games that require it will refuse to run. This is more of a problem with gaming industry culture at large, really. But it's still only going to affect people who use Linux at the end of the day.
What is your favourite game?
Sending personal data to Microsoft to see how famous I can become.
On Linux I feel really lonely and unwanted.
HDR isn't all that great for gaming yet, in my opinion. It takes too much tweaking just to get it working, because apparently games/proton still aren't able to natively pass that metadata to Wayland?
Running every applicable game or all of Steam through Gamescope brings its own problems with how it handles the window, so I end up never using it at all. I just want it to be as simple as it is on Windows, man! 😩
Also, VRR seems to make my screen flicker at an unnoticeably-high-but-still-irritating rate at random whenever I alt+tab, never figured that out yet...
Finally, I do wish there was a simpler, more paint.net-like editor rather than GIMP, and I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but otherwise basically every thing on that list of features works well enough for me.
Ever since I stopped gaming as much, linux has become infinitely more fitting to me. My main driver is Mint 21.3, it does everything i want it to. Its fun, and a great learning experience. Though obviously you gotta want to learn how to fix things if things go wrong, which they still do, but mostly at the beginning. After installing the right graphics drivers, and fixing touchpad scroll speed, everythings smooth sailing.
On the 5 distros i used, i had different problems that would make normal people uninstall the OS
I could ignore them because the benefits outweigh the problems, other people probably couldnt because they want a stable computer, not cool features
Fuck Flakpaks! There I said it.
Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that 'Discord Wayland sharing' working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.
why don't you all run discord from the web browser? what's the advantage?
I don't have some objective reason personally, I just don't like web apps for 90℅ of things.
I'm curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?
just download the canary of linux (beta branch). Itll come to stable after. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035675191-Discord-Testing-Clients
dual monitor on wayland....still f'd up
I'm using triple monitors. A 42" 4k screen. A 1080p 22". And the third is also a 1080p 22" but vertical.
No problems.
HDR was solved?
The colour management protocol on wayland got merged yesterday, and KWin has already switched to the now complete spec.
GNOME are surfacing HDR in GNOME 48.
With WINE’s wayland driver having a year of fixes, hopefully Valve will use it in Proton 10 allowing use of HDR in games running via proton.
I wouldn’t call it solved just yet, but it’s very close.
Hint: :q!
