  • I was learning what they are actually and I don’t see any point of using linux-libre.Nowdays Linux kernel loading firmware for device from packages called “linux-firmware” technically is binary files located in ur filesystem.Linux libre project just removing mechanism of loading firmware dynamically,does it make device free? No they just don’t work.Devices which work with linux-libre for example WiFi dongles contains already firmware on WiFi chip itself and not loading from ur computer.In fact u even loosing security patches from vendors which u can get as updates for all devices.Linux libre project even removing warning about that u are u are using vulnerable firmware.Blobs which now located in kernel code itself is header files with some amount of arrays number arrays.Also not all firmware files works in once,kernel loading only needed one for hardware installed in computer right now So in conclusion I would not use such kernel,problem not in kernel ,problem that vendors don’t share source code for devices.Project linux libre not okay with dynamically loading firmware from filesystem buy they are okay with firmware which installed on devices which work without dynamically loading.It’s weird and sounds hypocrisy










  • yeah it’s looks fine,it’s using igpu.Tell me also which version of nvidia driver u have in system.About parameters ,we tell to nvidia driver to

     NVreg_UsePageAttributeTable=1 (Default 0) - Activating the better memory
     management method (PAT). The PAT method creates a partition type table at a
     specific address mapped inside the register and utilizes the memory
     architecture and instruction set more efficiently and faster. If your system
     can support this feature, it should improve CPU performance.
    
     NVreg_InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations=0 (Default 1) - Disables clearing
     system memory allocation before using it for the GPU. Potentially improves
     performance, but at the cost of increased security risks. Write "options
     nvidia NVreg_InitializeSystemMemoryAllocations=1" in
     /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf, if you want to return the default value. Note:
     It is possible to use more memory (?)
    
     NVreg_DynamicPowerManagement=0x02 - Enables the use of dynamic power
     management for Turing generation mobile cards, allowing the dGPU to be
     powered down during idle time.
    
     NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0 (Default 1) - Disables GSP Firmware on NVIDIA's
     closed source kernel modules. This option is ignored when using NVIDIA's
     open kernel modules.
    
     nvidia_drm.modeset=1 (default 0) - Enables modesetting support for the NVIDIA
     driver. Critical for Wayland support and proper PRIME Offload operation.
    
     nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 - Enables hardware framebuffer support. Allows to use
     native display resolution in tty. This option has no effect on PRIME laptops,
     as the framebuffer is handled by the iGPU. This parameter is marked as
     experimental, so bugs may occur.
    

    General common parametrs used for nvidia on modern hardware. Also do u have installed prime-run or switcheroo-control in system?
