I can now control external display brightness from KDE and I don't know why. Thank you, nameless Linux contributor
  • I noticed this as well a few months ago and it did change the monitor brightness for real, but now it broke on my system and wont do it anymore

  • Genshin does work in linux since a few months ago from what i heard

  • Linux 6.6 To Better Protect Against The Illicit Behavior Of NVIDIA's Proprietary Driver
  • Is your entire system crashing?, for me i have to do a hard reboot once it happens. if it gets too bad i can always play the game in a windows VM as im playing with a friend and crashing all the time would be annoying

  • My rx 480 worked way better in terms of not crashing, it did have graphical glitches in games but i guessed thats down to using Wine. Im also using Arch so maybe that in combination with the 6650 is making it more unstable, i gotta revert to using LTS kernel every few months to stop my system crashing randomly

  • I dont have the error message atm unfortunately cause to have more disk space i set my system to delete the logs quite often (ill probably revert this now as ive got way more space), but the one part i do have is this "GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS" , thats 95% of the times the error that shows up whenever my pc freezes

    I looked it up and theres a bunch of mesa bugtracker issues listing the same error but honestly gpu driver stuff is so complex who knows whats really going on. baldurs gate 3 has crashed my whole system 3 times in 20-30 hours played, but except for that this past month ive also started getting blackscreens waking up from suspend sometimes on the non LTS kernel, luckily LTS fixes that for now, but not baldurs gate. The past year i've had this gpu theres been like 5 times where an update made the amd drivers unstable and ive had to change back to the LTS kernel to resolve it, maybe thats cause im using arch and stuff is more bleeding edge, but i havent had this many issues on my rx 480

  • I had an rx480 that worked fantasic until a firmware update made it start freezing my pc in games after suspend, solution was to rollback that package to an older one or never use suspend. I currently have a 6650xt and that just crashes whenever it wants to sometimes, works fine for a few months then decides to freeze my whole pc, playing bg3 atm it froze on me like 3 times already

  • AMD has been taking so many W's, they're just giving them away
  • Ive only ever used amd gpus and intel cpu, and the only hardware issue ive had is one gigabyte card having a firmware bug that killed it. amd always worked great on windows for me, but on linux they suffer from crashing quite often.

  • Flatpak integration is still not great
  • I run flatpak firefox and kde wayland and have no such issue

  • [RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege
  • Wish i had 15 up, im getting 40 down 3 up. They started putting fiber down my street but not active yet, cant wait to go to 1 gig

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • Im sure that arch would probably cause more issues than mint in the long run, i was just saying Mint or any other beginner distros are not exactly 100% issue free as some would claim them to be

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • Not the guy you replied to but i put Mint on my uncles pc, tried to install some software and it just gave me some errors, tried fixing it for about 40 mins and gave up and just put windows on it. I had an Kubuntu install that just randomly killed itself after a few months as well. It worked fine for a while, then i restarted one day and wouldn't boot giving some drive error, and i ended up moving to arch after that. Arch has been working very well for me and it has had issues but i could always solve them quite easily.

    At the end of the day all linux distros are essentially running the same software, the only difference is the version of software you're running, some update faster some slower.

  • Dammit

  • Dammit
  • Nah im gonna talk to the ceo of lemmy right now and outlaw all these memes

  • Dammit
  • Its like we went back in time 10 years moving from reddit to lemmy, the memes on lemmy are trash

  • Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
  • Jellyseer is great even though im the only one using it in my house, the ui is much nicer than radarr/sonarrs for downloading and seeing trending films and tv

  • Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
  • Yeah you can can choose a language profile and download movies/tv whichever language you want

  • Yes, video game loading bars are fake, indie devs admit
  • Ok, i get it now. Its not fake but rather not accurate. I thought this post meant the loading bars were just made to look like they were doing something, but i do get that sometimes the bar gets stuck on 50% for a while and rushes to 100%. it still is showing the loading % just not accurately

  • TesseracT - "Of Mind - Exile"

    Damn this album is really nice, very chill atmosphere listening to it atm

    The Dear Hunter - The Lake And The River [Prog Rock]

    Not metal but these guys introduced me to between the buried and me which led me down the progmetal pipeline. This song is probably one of their proggiest songs id say. They also have done a btbam cover and btbam did a cover of their song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_p06LEnSfg

    The Dear Hunter - Is There Anybody Here?[Progressive Rock]

    Beautiful melodies and orchestration. The Dear Hunter tells a 5 album story from start to finish. If you like music with a story check them out, they have a ton of repeated motifs across the 5 acts which reward relistens and connect into the storyline. You can look up the story online if you wanna know whats going on.
