Agreed. Even though I have a nvidia card which might be the cause of some issues due to the drivers. Had some crashes using vulkan but none using dx.

Good luck

Ladies and gentlemen, we’re royally fucked.

Had a few issues with high frame times and flickering on nvidia / latest 550.x driver on wayland/hyprland. No issues on x11 though. But it needed some additional configuration which is readily available in the arch forum.

Joke’s on you. I’m still a sysadmin and doing things with my hands for years.

That’s you and me, somewhat tech savvy users. Your usual user won’t find that.

Best rule even within the Fallout franchise. That’s why it’s a great scene.

How they can still be in business is beyond me.

Switching from Mint to Arch? Best idea ever! Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I tinkered around with it a bit yesterday. There are some tips in the hyprland wiki, talking about adding nvidia specific modules in mkinicpio that might help. Problem is that, seemingly by default, it’s using dracut. Right now that whole construct is going a bit over my head tbh.

I also tried adding those custom rules:

windowrulev2 = fullscreen,class:^steam_app\d+$

windowrulev2 = monitor DP-3,class:^steam_app_\d+$

windowrulev2 = workspace 10,class:^steam_app_\d+$

workspace = 10, border:false, rounding:false

But they don’t seem to work

I didn’t say EndeavourOS was a pain. Read it again. The combination of hardware and software is the problem, not the OS.

NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.

Nice. I’d appreciate some feedback, if you like. Currently in the middle of switching to EndeavourOS as a Arch noob. Am I allowed so say “I use arch btw” now?

RGB isn’t really the issue for me. At least not when using icue. I need it to control my AIO / fans / temps

I think I didn’t buy a Windows license ever. Got Win 7 free from my college and always could upgrade for free to the next version. I never used MS Office, mostly did use the Google suite. Games were the only thing that kept me, especially since I got more privacy continuous over the past few years.

I’m currently dual booting Win 11 and Linux mint as a test phase. Actually just running windows for the proprietary phone client I need for work. Otherwise I’m newly exclusively using LM right now. Though I might make the switch to EndeavourOS for it’s rolling release approach and AUR.

Only thing I really hate is that there are some proprietary software like ICUE, L-Connect a proper scanning software for my printer including OCR (there is a version for Linux but it doesn’t include OCR) or shitty driver support for my graphics card. But none of those are issues coming from Linux itself but rather from the lack of support from the developers. Also, I love DLSS and Ray tracing but seriously… fuck Nvidia.

Serious question because I’m in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense… so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS

No. It’s a system app. Look for “DeviceLockController” or “com.android.devicelockcontroller”

I don’t think that necessarily helps. I’m running GrapheneOS and “DeviceLockController” is installed there as well. From what I read, it’s because it’s part of AOSP.

I did take all permissions and from the system logs it reads that this app never has been used or tried to send anything to begin with.

It’s still a dual boot machine. I don’t have the time or nerve to switch over on one go. See it as a prove of concept.

Idk what exactly the issue was. I just know that switching to steam flatpak and ext4 seem to have fixed it.

After I switched go the flatpak version of steam and changed the drive from NTFS to ext4 it works. I did both at the same time so I’m not sure which ended up fixing it or if both is necessary
