Linux is fucking awesome
-
Thank you, that's massively helpful! Pasting your comment into my ESP32 project notes so when I soon move to Linux I can remember to figure out the udev rule and jtags.

I've had wemos d1 boards from AliExpress show up as a brltty and the braille teletype driver grabs the device. Just something to look out for on some distros
-
Running this command was the only thing required for me to get access to the com ports. After that, everything worked perfectly.
sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER(note that $USER is part of the command - do not replace that with your actual username)

Lucky. I couldn't get HDR working properly, and most of my GPU features were missing because Nvidia refuses to support Linux (and AMD GPUs can't keep up). So I had to go back to Windows.
Been trying to switch to Linux since 2004. I'll try again in 5 years.
-
Try Nobara or Bazzite. Plasma supports HDR fairly well, and those distros includes a pile of tweaks for Nvidia devices. It might get you sorted.

You would be suprised how cool Linux can get when you go deep down the rabbit hole, if you really want to go deep into Arch I reccomend trying a tiling window manager like Sway or Hyprland :3
(Btw these are the dotfiles I use: https://github.com/koeqaife/hyprland-material-you)
-
Tweaks and preconfigured distros aren’t solution here. The driver is still lacking certain features and that can only be fixed by NVIDIA
-
Most of my library just works under Linux.

Without having read through your codebase, are you using someone else's top bar, or did you write it yourself in ags?
I wasn't satisfied with the performance of any bars I tried for X11 so I wrote my own custom one using the eww widget system. I've tried ags for a bit but I couldn't even make an empty bar window that attaches itself to the top of the screen and spans the entire width of my single monitor.
That part worked flawlessly in eww. -
Nvidia has an open driver now I believe? I install
nvidia-open.Curious to know what you mean by:
AMD GPUs can't keep up
And,
I had to go back to Windows
you had to, because of HDR? I have an Nvidia RTX 2080 Super, and I don't know of any features that are missing. Games can do DLSS and ray tracing and whatever else they need. For me, support seems to be absolutely beast on Linux.

Aww, thank you
-
Same here.
Daily driver is a mac but I always use a desktop Linux machine at home.
-
Does that driver support SDR to HDR conversation, AI upacaling, 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.
And yes, AMD GPUs can't keep up. Especially if you like Ray Tracing. I'm not an AMD hater; I have a 7700X. So please try to relax.

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-settingshas 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?
