@gabriele97 Yes, I stated that in my post and it can be seen on the screenshot.
Edit: No problem. :-)

@miss_brainfart There are many little things encountered over the years. But I do not have a list or anything like that. Nvidia is always in my way somehow. Wayland support was or still is not great with Nvidia in example and one of the reasons why I don't consider trying Wayland.

Then for a long time it G-Sync didn't work properly with applications that should, had some tearing too related to problems with picom. I have to run the nvidia-settings gui once at boot, otherwise I have all the problems described before. I use a command to run it without showing gui. Found this solution by accident after 6 months of terror, as searching the web didn't help me.

And for a long time, I got used to it and it wasn't driving me crazy or anything. When I put my system to sleep and wake it up, the Firefox window would have garbage pixelation (complete random). I just had to move the window once and everything was normal again. That's because it has GPU acceleration and somehow this is a known bug by Nvidia that is unsolved. Or at least it was, because this does not happen anymore.

What do we have else in my head right now? Gamescope, the SteamOS compositor, didn't work with Nvidia before it got official support. I needed that to solve a problem, to play a certain game that was otherwise not playable. So yes, that's not a problem anymore I think (didn't use it for a while now), but it was another thing that was in my way. I know this has todo with the official support of Gamescope and not just being nvidia, but it was related to Nvidia and in my way.

Somehow... the problems I encounter are connected to Nvidia. But as said, I don't have a full list of problems and these are just a few things come to my mind.

@qwesx I am not familiar with ZFS filesystem. How does it affect this or plays a role?

@wolf4ood I'm a little bit shocked there was no scanning and malware check before this incident.

@derin I had the same issue. Some suspicious request was blocked by my security addons and I thought it was just a false alarm. But used the reader mode of Firefox to make it readable: https://i.imgur.com/F4yv5VR.png

The Steam Deck and other handheld PCs also rocks for emulation, not only for light indie games.

Here is a part of the article which bugs me a byte:

By nearly all objective measures, the ROG Ally is better than the Steam Deck. It has solid battery life, a nicer screen, more power, and Windows 11

Having Windows 11 on the device is not an objective measure to be better. If anything, this is a subjective matter. In my opinion Windows is far worse as an operating system for a handheld PC (or any PC at all). Sure you have more games to play with, but the usability and customization sucks, plus Microsoft is spying on you.

@confusedwiseman It's still a builtin, very low on resource and small application everyone can work with. Kinda like what the basic editor for txt files are (forgot the name). And there was no dependency on external application to manage like Libre Office. That is basically the only things I can see being an advantage.

@lobut I thought Donkey Kong Country on the SNES was photorealistic and rivaled movies like Terminator 2, which used the same technology behind the scenes. I thought every game would look the same as Donkey Kong Country in future.
