I think we Fedora users just have to wait for RPMFusion to roll out the updated driver. Not entirely sure if they only use Stable branch drivers or not though. I’m used to Arch where it would just be in the AUR within the hour…

I’ve been refreshing half the uBlue repos a lot today in the hopes there’s some commits showing they’re rolling the drivers out for Bluefin quickly 😂

• For what I assume is a security precaution, SysRq is disabled by default in Fedora, and you need to go enable it if you want to be able to recover when removed like this happens - the link shows how, and explains what each letter does.
• It’s honestly hard to say what caused it, but you could check your system logs and see what looks suspicious around the time of the crash. journalctl, dmesg and your steam logs (in ~/.steam/steam/logs usually) could be worth a look, or worth showing someone else at least if you aren’t sure whats going on in there.
• I’d avoid actively trying to cause it, but if it happens again you handled it exactly how I’d try handle it. Having SysRq enabled would let r-e-i-s-u-b handle it more gracefully than a forced shutdown at least!

Regardless of what distro you do end up using, the Arch Wiki is a great bookmark to have. The info is like 90% relevant to Linux in general, and at worst you might need to figure out what a file path or package might have changed to in the likes of Ubuntu or Fedora.

and a Nvidia 2080ti

Do you know which Nvidia driver you’re using currently?

There’s an established open-source Nouveau driver that Ubuntu & Mint probably defaulted to, a bleeding-edge open-source NVK driver that is still very early in it’s development, and a proprietary Nvidia driver that Nobara probably tried, as it’s kinda what you’d want for gaming.

The other question would be if you’re using Wayland or X11 underneath your desktop environment?

It should be listed in Settings > System > System Details, under the heading “Windowing System” if you’re using GNOME.

Wayland has better multi-monitor support than X11, but the proprietary Nvidia driver has a few teething problems with Wayland at the moment - a new 555 beta driver update should be coming this week with proper fixes for the sync/screen-tearing issues people have been experiencing.

Thats great.

I’d still like my Nvidia card to work so I’m happy about this, and when AMD on Linux eventually starts swapping over to explicit sync, I’ll be happy for those users then too.

It’s not gonna stop Google’s internal processes from deciding to pick complete BS results, and you’d definitely be ignoring new genuine content too, but as long as your not looking for results on something time sensitive it would tune out a lot of the AI generated noise out there from the crazy rise in ChatGPT content-farmed articles.

I seen a post on mastodon yesterday that said if you’re using google to search for anything, the trick to getting useful results is to include before:2023 and ignore anything newer because it’s probably just AI generated/prioritized BS.

I don’t think they were entirely wrong in thinking that, tbh.

It looks like Debian 12 only provides 525, 390 and a legacy 340 driver, based on the wiki. As @people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org mentioned, Debian 11 has a 470 driver, but that would be a different set of repositories that would probably not work great for you on Debian 12.

The actual latest Nvidia driver is 550 as of a few days ago, so maybe you could try a manual install of either the latest or 470? I’m not sure if anything like downgrade or frogging-family\nvidia-all exists for Debian, I ^*sigh* use Arch Linux^btw.

Are you sure it’s a Tauon issue and not a Jellyfin issue? I can’t say I’ve had it mis-report play counts for me but I use it with Navidrome, not Jellyfin - maybe Jellyfin doesn’t follow the Airsonic API as strictly or something?

Tauon Music Box. I just point it at my Navidrome instance and hit shuffle usually.

I use systemd-nuclear-reactor in my system, systemd-spoon and systemd-fork weren’t good enough to replace just using my hands though.

I wish they’d remove the US-only geo-restriction they have on half the autofill functionality.

Were there supposed to be “some thoughts, details and resources” posted here? at the moment its just a link to the wayland project logo.

There’s a GNOME extension called HUE lights that allows you to control everything from your tray, entertainment zones and all. Similar probably exists for KDE/etc.

Nobody is forcing you to use Wayland. Just take up the mantle of maintaining X11 yourself, because nobody is forced to keep that alive either.

I understand that, but I think they removed the security advisory that was previously attached to the libcue GitHub (that’s where that CVE link in the post’s first paragraph went) because the latest commits to the repo patched that vulnerability.

The link in the first paragraph of the blog post? I think they removed it because libcue has since been patched.

Maybe check this itsfoss.com list and see if anything catches your eye?

I can’t really suggest any specific themes; Every year or so I try a heap of different ones, they all annoy me in different ways, and I end up right where I started: using Adwaita again.

1. You can start applications from windows command line. Depending on the program you might need to provide the full path to the executable though. Eg: Start chrome.exe
2. Windows has a (preinstalled in Window 11, optional in Windows 10) software called WinGet that will update all recognized applications via command line. Covers stuff from Windows Store, and most popular software installers. Basically acts as a Windows package manager.
3. batch files, software like autohotkey… automation can definitely be done in Windows too.
4. You mean shortcuts?
5. Pretty certain you can defer updates until the time suits, but Windows is definitely more forceful in pushing updates than Linux. There are ways of turning off updates too, but probably not without third party software or digging in regedit blindly.
6. Rainmeter could provide something similar.
7. Do you mean Command Prompt, or Windows Terminal? Terminal is actually pretty nice, and very customizable, both in terms of theme and functionality.

I run Arch Linux (btw) and have a very neglected Windows 11 partition.

I have a command set up in linux using ddcutil that allows me to tell my second monitor to swap source from HDMI (Chromecast) to DisplayPort (PC) and back as desired. No clue how I’d do that in Windows.
