Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn’t get any hate for it so idk. It’s just a meme.

When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.

Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

This is what I don’t get. AMD has driver issues on windows because of a combination of their own incompetence and windows updates doing stupid windows things - people squarely lay the the blame on AMD. NVIDIA releases bad closed source drivers causing issues on linux - somehow the fault of linux and the open source communities.

These people should be hounding NVIDIA to fix their issues instead crying to DE developers to fix issues caused by NVIDIA.

I would wager nvidia. Wayland works way better with amd and intel GPUs.

Thanks. I no longer get the error messages when running it from the terminal but I am getting the same issues i was getting earlier when I run it from the desktop

Well there were/are attempts to make flatpak with flathub an universal app store on linux. If I remember correctly, there were some ideas mooted on adding paid apps in to flathub.

Especially when you also use a aur helper like yay. Also I have to do is type yay and enter my password and then everything is updated

Any idea how long it will be until TW gets tlp 1.6

So how did you replace the mesa version. Every documentation I see seems to tell of the --allow-vendor-change option

Do you also use the mesa pacakge from packman repos. Will zypper automatically use the packman package of mesa when updating if you do the vendor change for mesa from official repos to packman. I am asking because when I tried TW, different versions of packages in mesa were somehow simultaneously installed after a dist-upgrade and mesa was broken

But don’t you need the mesa version with the codecs inbuilt for hardware decoding with a AMD card¿?

You seemed to have misunderstood. I am enquiring about the usage of packman repos in opensuse tumbleweed

Something like the 6600 or 6600xt(or 6650xt) could be the cheap alternative you are looking for as they cost around 200 dollars and give a decent performance bump for you.

A used 5600xt would be a much cheaper but somewhat sideways upgrade as it sells for around 100 dollars(according to Hardware Unboxed’s last gpu pricing video) and offers a small performance improvement of 5-10%.

Side note - in my view, the sideways upgrade to AMD from nvidia may not be the smartest use of money. AMD’s advantages over nvidia are real but unless you really do need a new GPU(because you are using the 1660 super for another rig or giving it to someone), the advantages are nowhere near large enough to justify buying a new GPU of around the same performance level. Of course this is just my viewpoint and you might see things differently

I thought more the logic behind this move was that people use a lot of web services these days so a lot of software on which is pre installed is redundant and hence a waste of resources.

I have edited the comment above. I had made an error while typing. Please check if that changes anything

Maybe you can try logging in before changing the file. Then quit steam, change the file and restart your steam system and then try to open steam. This was the exact process I followed and it worked.

Edit : the change to the .desktop file is not applied until you reboot your system.

The line you are changing is the right one. Change the PrefersNonDefaultGPU option from true to false

I asked about this to a system76 employee and what he told me was that nvidia with CUDA is still much better for several professional use cases and because of that, they still prefer using nvidia

I don’t know man. Mac OS also has no software to open a lot of file types out of the box but even people with little to computer knowledge are able to download the things they need from the app store. They can do the same in ubuntu as well
