  • 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
