Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling,

Assuming you mean conversion and upscaling. DLSS is AI upscaling, right? I don't think X11 has much support for HDR. But I'm not well versed in display servers at all to make that claim firmly.

and most importantly: the 3D Settings page? I can live without the first two features, but I can't believe that there is no 3D Settings page in Linux. It has so many graphics settings that aren't available in most games.

Ah, you mean that custom program where you set a bunch of settings externally and specifically for each game? I think the program nvidia-settings has that? Try it out!

And yes, AMD GPUs can't keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I'm not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X

Ah that's a shame. Newer AMD cards are surely better than my old 2080 Super though eh.

The Hyprland dev is enough to make sure I never use Hyprland

Vanilla arch is nothing like the manually installed arch of old. It's as easy to install and use as any other distro. I started with arch too, and my now permanent distro is arch based

I'm curious, did it solve your problem?

What is still lacking?

DLSS is AI upscaling, right?

No, not DLSS. RTX Video Enhancement. Makes YouTube look so much better.

I think the program nvidia-settings has that? Try it out!

It does not. I'm talking about this page. Almost every game in existence is missing several settings that are on this page, especially GPU Power Management Mode, Negative LOD Bias, Max Framerate in the Background, and Max VR Prerendered Frames.

Ive yet to find a tiling Window manager that looks as good

[email protected]

Yeah, it does look great.

But in terms of tiling WMs, I have high hopes for Cosmos! It's coming along really well (though not as pretty as Hyprland)

My primary issue with cosmic is the seeming lack of customizability. On Hyprland I was able to change all the keybindings to the i3 shortcuts (thats what I personally prefer). My full list of problems are:

High resource usage: I get its a full DE but as a WM user it would be nice to disable extra features I dont like
Documentation: I get its still in alpha but morr documentation would be nice
Extension support: Since its a full DE I thought it would have the advantage of supporting extensions, I guess apparently not
Themeing: Im not sure how themeable it is, granted on Hyprland I used a dotfiles from github but it seems limited (only color schemes).

Granted what System76 is doing with Cosmic is absolutely incredible and I think one day it can be as pretty (perhaps even more) than Hyprland, my problem is thats far ahead in the future when right now I can use Hyprland and right now it looks pretty.

RVE is basically AI upscaling with AI SDR to HDR smoothing. So they're right that it's AI upscaling. But isn't DLSS. But only because DLSS has vectoring information from the game engine.

Sadly, no, though I’m curious how the other lemming changed their polling rate. I used Piper, so maybe different methods have different effects? Idk. I’ll have to keep tinkering.

My personal experience has been frustrating each time. I've tried to switch over at least 3 times over the years, but I always gave up. This time, I installed Ubuntu and immediately had to spend 3 hours trying to get my Xbox controler dongle to work, but just couldn't do it. Found a driver online that people said would work, it didn't because it wasn't properly signed, tried to sign it but the signing app just didn't create the certificates needed. Gave up, I have Bluetooth so I'd live, though I'd rather use the dongle if I can.

I then immediately encounter another problem that couldn't be fixed (for the life od me I can't remember what it was exactly) and just gave up.

The previous time I tried it I remember that among other things, one of my main problems was the lack of clipboard history (which I use extremely often). I tried installing an app for it but all of them either didn't work or didn't work the way I want them to or I just didn't like their look and feel.

I also hate the font rendering on Linux, it always looks blurry compared to Windows, and the double titlebars most apps have (e.g. Discord, at least on Ubuntu), I like my screen real-estate.

Thanks for inspiring me to search around GitHub - I managed to successfully resume from suspend after an hour or so (still doesn't work in Wayland, but I'm making progress i guess).

Next up is addressing the weird horizontal tearing in all my games!

Pasting this right into my project doc. Thanks so much!

That's a bizarre glitch I never would have known to look for - thanks!

Yeah I'd rather deal with this than a blind persons gear not work
