From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Reading through that article I somehow ended up on the bazzite page and then went down a rabithole learning about the system76 scheduler. Just when I thought I'd settled down now I want to switch to bazzite to try out the system76 scheduler.

But I'm not sure what's better for overall performance. Bazzites modifications or glorious eggrolls modifications.

Yes I think their scheduler is nice? I mean you can just layer and enable it on any variant. Checkout ublues files.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago

Yes thats difficult for sure. I would trust bazzite more, as the distribution model is way more stable.

A friend switched to Linux yesterday on a new build and grabbed the kde spin of fedora at my recommendation. Fedora 40 dropped x11 on kde so there's been a good bit more hassle getting things working than there should have been. Hopefully developers move fast on support.

What do you mean? Just use Wayland?

Discord screen share isn't working, I think screen recording wasn't working, she had some issues getting steam to not crash. We both use input leap at work so waiting until 6.1 for that support to hit. Just a bit annoying to get rug pulled. We both use fedora 38 on our work machines so there was an expectation that things would work the same, I think it's overall a good change in the long run, but in the moment it's very disruptive.

try vencord/vesktop it allows you to stream over discord on Wayland, plus a bunch of other stuff.

[–] offspec@lemmy.nicknakin.com 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I directed her to vesktop but lately the video streams on vesktop have been really choppy. I use it on arch to mixed results.

I think the end of the story is: fuck Discord.

Damn Signal Desktop has perfect screensharing on Wayland.

You probably know this already, but X11 hasn't been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.

sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11

Actually, I didn't know that and figured it out yesterday. Thanks for the tip!

[–] eveninghere 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, I'm such an old ass for preferring X11 still, but fuck NVIDIA anyway.

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

NVIDIA and Wayland are supposedly fixed in recent releases with explicit sync
