  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    I've been using Fedora for 3 years now..loved the dnf way of dealing with packages and the upgrades were painless..the only thing that bothers me is my nvidia card..I have issues with games on steam and every update seems to mess with the nvidia kernel module somehow..so..

    [โ€“] lightnegative@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

    Im in the same boat and I regret buying NVIDIA.

    I'm not a gamer but NVIDIA issues rear their head on Wayland mostly for things that need 3D rendering like Bambu Studio and even Electron apps like Slack, Spotify and VSCode.

    Oh and also trying to get hardware video decoding working on Firefox is a pain. I'm now at the point where full screening a video just causes Firefox to immediately crash.

    Definitely getting AMD next time but I'm a long ways off upgrading my NUC, it's 8 core i7 with 64gb of ram so will serve my dev needs for a long time

    [โ€“] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

    Yeah, my next PC will definitely be AMD but I'm also not buying a new machine for a while..

    What issue? I switched a friend to fedora KDE wayland and installed the rpmfusion drivers and it's been fine (40 series)

    [โ€“] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    They're mostly issues with steam and games.. Steam app does not launch with the dedicated GPU..same with games..once I force it to use the nvidia card, games get worse and some of them don't even launch.. Same games I used to play when I had Ubuntu on my machine (my dell laptop came with Ubuntu 18.04 pre installed)

    [โ€“] Wildly_Utilize 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    How did you install the drivers?

    [โ€“] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

    On Fedoraa, I followed this guide from fedora forum, installing them from rpmfusion..the akmod something..

    If youโ€™re using Linux for gaming, why not try Bazzite? Itโ€™s immutable, which isโ€ฆ Contentious. But itโ€™s one of the best plug-and-play distros for gaming, with Nvidia support right out of the box.

    [โ€“] ThunderLegend@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

    I'm not just using it for gaming..I use it mostly for work .. but I wanted to play a game or two eventually..that's why I picked a general distro like fedora
