That is not the same thing as “snap and apt Firefox are the same”. They just hijacked apt to force snap in.

No? It’s better. HDR just means that there are more color values for each channel. On something like an OLED, that’s more important since the range between white and black is larger in terms of brightness, so to get good color resolution you need more color data.
Yeah, I think the battery thing OP pointed out makes more sense than the power argument. The Z1 extreme used in other handhelds is based on the 8840HS iirc, anf its at least one generation newer than the basis for the steam decks somewhat custom silicon.
The Deck processor is 4 Zen 2 CPU cores and 8 RDNA 2 GPU CUs, while the 8840HS is 8 Zen 4 CPU cores plus 12 RDNA 3 graphics CUs. It’s going to be wildly more powerful. The 8745H actually has the same CPU and iGPU configuration as the 8840HS – not even close to steam deck specs.
This thumbnail hurts to look at.
Is this installing a local .deb file or installing from a repo? If installing from a repo, the .deb
and the full file path are unnecessary. If you’re installing a downloaded file, use dpkg -i package.deb
not apt.
Yikes! Best of luck.
The barrier for me is that I use a lot of apps which require native messaging for inter-program communication (keepass browser, citation managers talking to Libreoffice, etc.), and the portal hasn’t been implemented yet. Its been stuck in PR comment hell for years. Looks like its getting close, but flatpak-only is a hard no go for me until then.
Even after that, I would worry about doing some Dev work on atomic distros, and I worry about running into other hard barriers in the future.
Oh boy! How new is your kernel? If you’re on older than probably 6.11, the Strix driver might not be implemented in it yet.
Alacritty felt too slow and was missing settings I wanted (like mousewheel scroll) due to devs being opinionated. Kitty has been fast and flexible for me.
Yeah, kobo does too. I assumed it was a proprietary flavor which was pretty locked down, is that not the case?
I vaguely remember there being a FOSS OS you can put on Kobos, can you also do that on Boox?
What issues do people have? I’ve never had/seen these issues.
Thats via fwupd, thinkpads specifically get this because Lenovo officially supports Ubuntu on them. Other lenovo laptops don’t get this!
I mean they do have a point: the framework that the game is targeting is DX11, so if it looks bad it is (broadly) because of an issue in translating DX11 instructions to Vulkan…
Level1 has looked at the B580 on Linux specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv0o6505JAc
I think most of the issues with games not working should be the same between windows and Linux driver versions, and HardwareUnboxed has done some pretty exhaustive testing recently on the “maturity” of the drivers by testing a couple hundred games for obvious driver problems.
I have an AMD 5900HS iGPU and a 3070M in my laptop. I’ve had no issues on Mint (with the auto-installed Optimus in the Nvidia Prime applet) or with PopOS. If you want to use passthrough, SR-IOV GPU sharing is not an option for AMD iGPUs IIRC, and I know it doesn’t work for NVIDIA dGPUs, so you’d need to pass the whole dGPU through to the Windows VM to get hardware acceleration.
For Figma, I would say the unofficial Electron wrapper or the online version is likely your best bet in terms of reliability. If it’s just using the browser mechanisms for hwaccel (no funky accessing windows resources behind the scenes) if you run Optimus in the “on-demand” mode the webpage should be able to access the dgpu for hardware acceleration just fine. Optimus is a lot better than it was a few years ago.
By default, when your HDD cannot be mounted as writeable, it mounts as read-only instead. If you used Windows before, the Windows hibernate and fast boot functions can basically “reserve” the partition, causing it to only be writeable as read only. If you have windows still installed, is it possible that it booted into Windows to do an update or you’ve booted into it since? If so, I’d recommend disabling fast boot in Windows.
If there’s no Windows still installed on your system, I would reccomend changing the mount options on the hdd to: nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show,rw,exec
. You can change these directly by editing /etc/fstab
, but I would recommend against editing the fstab table manually – if you edit the wrong entry, it can prevent your system from booting. I’ve not had good luck with the KDE partition manager, but if you install gparted and right click on the partition it should give you options to change the mount options, and you can add the options above there.
FYI, mount options are read left to right by the system, so if you really want rw (read/write) and exec to be true and not overriden by other mount options, put them at the end of the mount option line.
Oh, how the turn tables…
Yeah for sure, I read your comment as excusing canonical screwing with user intent but I see that’s not what you meant.
