3·2 months agoI just want to add that keeping the Nvidia Shield in a guest WiFi, in your home router, can strength even further your privacy.

81·2 months agoProblem is not Bazzite or Linux, problem is Nvidia. If we need to be honest, we should avoid Nvidia.

4·2 months agoI feel that “works” is a very broad term. It can work but doesn’t mean that it will perform even or better in a good amount of games compared to Nvidia on Windows or AMD in Linux or Windows. Issues depends on specific games that one plays, one may be playing games that aren’t prone for those issues reported.
How do you handle the closed source applications installations for your dad without friction?
I had some good rate of satisfaction (anecdotal empirical and personal) with Silverblue. Good support for UKI + Secure Boot + TPM2 + SELinux. All of that transparent to end user, and we can roll back stuff quite easy with the Atomic philosophy.
Those were experiments conducted on Lenovo and Dell laptops that have good Linux support with continuous firmware updates via fwupd.
Personally, I use Arch, btw. Not a big fan on the relation of companies with distros.

Linux@lemmy.ml•KDE Linux deep dive: package management is amazing, which is why we don’t include it
6·3 months ago“In KDE Linux, we build the base system out of Arch packages, but freeze the contents and take responsibility for the result being functional; we don’t offload responsibility onto the user.”
Is this the same that Manjaro does?
It was extremely easy to send a trojan file to a friend and if they would open it and you happen to know its IP you could remote do things like open its CD drive and at the same time have tons of malware in your PC but it was all worth to see them in the next day saying that the PC went abducted by aliens

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•people who tried HelloFresh, what was your experience with them?
7·4 months agoIt was good to learn how to rationalize the food and prepare it. After two months with HelloFresh, cancel it and start groceries and preparing lunch and dinner boxes with your learning you will miles ahead of keeping paying for their service.

5·4 months agoWhat about Slackware? Not popular anymore?
I see that Windscribe was included. Their price tier is always in promotion so I’d take that in consideration.
Also, they have app for Linux: https://windscribe.com/features/linux/
It is not in Electron like many others. It is native Linux.

Linux@lemmy.ml•For Linux gaming (including DX12), is there a strong reason to choose NVIDIA over AMD?
22·4 months agoAre you sure that the DX12 performance loss is already addressed on Nvidia GPUs? Do you have a source?
https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/directx12-performance-is-terrible-on-linux/303207
They are the proprietary drivers from NVIDIA that should now “just work” across kernel upgrades (like AMD has forever).
Are you sure that is how it works for AMD in Linux?
We can go further. We need to support science and dream.
