Oh man, I remember the days, probably getting close to 20 years ago now, when I also had programs installing themselves into my computer that I didn’t authorize myself. I thank the efforts of the Linux inventors, engineers, and the community, for making my life better ever since the switch.

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-settings has 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. 🙃

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. 🤷‍♂️

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.

Alright, thanks so much. 👊

We all choose to believe what we choose to believe. 👍

I’m not talking about the ideology here, I’m talking about the linguistics of it all, specifically about the word “Nazism”. 😊

He’s my generation. That’s what we did in the dawn of the internet when web email was new and shit. Everybody has “coolname87” “dogshit89”, “hipguy88” as their username. It’s not such a wild idea.

Tangential: shouldn’t it be “Naziism”? Like, in “Nazi” the “i” belongs to “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”, or the “Natio—” part. But shouldn’t there be another “i” that goes with the “ism” suffix, so “Naziism”? Am I thinking about it in the wrong way?

Ah shit.

Can I instead just kind of… “clean” my existing account? Is that possible? Delete everything automatically yet keep my account, as a now blank one?

Thanks for sharing. I deleted the X app many months ago, maybe over a year? But I think I’m ready to actually delete my account now. Contribute to the global Xodus stats and whatnot.

Cool stuff.
