I’m too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don’t really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce), amd libreoffice Writer) work fine.

From my personal experience:

The steam variant of Retroarch is nerfed to hell and back, make your life easier and use the flatpak version and add it as a nonsteam game.

The meme reads as “if you can’t do these things you’re dumb” the things you’ve typed as examples of how coding is done nowadays are similar to things that any beginner would be typing into a search engine as well.

Your meme doesn’t compare between coding practices, it compares between the results of early programmers doing the absolute most with the hardware that was purpose built for their needs to people who literally don’t know how to program looking up information and progressing their knowledge.

As a beginning programmer, this is extremely discouraging and makes me want to do something else with my time.

Instead of punching down at those who are clearly undertrained, you should elevate those around you. Being a dick about it doesn’t seem like a good use of your time.

I usually don’t like to dogpile onto authors but I went to look at their article history (at least at this outlet) and they look to be almost Invariably Click-bait and or AI Trash.

You got this m8, remember there’s nothing you can bork that your can’t unbork.

(Except #rm - rf /* --no-preserve-root, that one can’t be undone)

LMDE only supports up to NVIDIA 535.

You need to update to a newer release, I had to do the same 2 days ago.

As of right now the only way to update to the newest nvidia drivers on LMDE or other Debian Bookworm releases is to use the official installer from the nvidia website.

Put the installer in your root directory, blacklist nouveau, kill X/Wayland (stop lightdm to make sure it stays dead). As root from a TTY:#/nvidia*.run to run the installer, follow the instructions and READ CAREFULLY, if your system is not correctly configured at time of install, it will tell you, but will allow you to proceed anyway, don’t. Once all is done, verify your initramfs is good, and if you have a dual-GPU system (most gaming laptops for example) you should restore your xorg.conf from the backup the installer made.

Happy sailing, good luck 🫡

(Edit for clarity, I know this sounds like its an unrelated fix but it fixed this exact issue for me with Kingdom Hearts 3+Re-Mind)

I was under the impression that RISCV was poorly supported, ARM has some (more) open platforms so I guess their RISC would be fine, and a significantly simpler undertaking than implementing x86.

If you have the time you could engineer a device that operates physical switches to represent bits, sort of like a curta calculator. Make it with enough bits available and engineer in an x86 compatible instruction set and hot damn you’ve got an electricity free computer, which (if you have the time) you can then manually set the storage bits into positions representative of your Linux filesystem with a minimal install. Figure out how you bootstrap the startup, perhaps engineer correct starting positions for the active bits (memory) such that you have an initramfs.

Can be done, technically you could do it with windows too I guess but boo close source software

How would I check that?

Edit: actually, Lemme just rtfm

Barely a week later and I had to do the thing. My partner uses LMDE and Nvidia 535 is the newest version in their repos, but we need nvidia 565+ for Kingdom Hearts 3.

Installing from the website wasn’t as hard as I remember.

1. Blacklist Nouveau.
2. As root, without an X server running, run the nvidia*.run file from the website
3. Follow the prompts.
4. Verify your initramfs rebuilt correctly before rebooting.
5. Reboot and enjoy your actually current driver.
6. Bonus step, restore your Xorg.conf backup because you’re on a multigpu laptop and you just borked the Xorg.conf with the installer so mesa doesn’t end up loading and X ends up dead on summon

I was today years old when I realized I can install packages non-privelaged if I leverage ~/.local/

Lemmy becomes an accidental skinner box, but the smaller community means you run out of new content to to scroll and end up logging off (right, y’all log off right?)

Corpo Social Media is designed to be a skinner box, to trap you in the scrolling loop dopamine dripfeed. No content too good hits your feed because if it does it doesn’t work to keep you scrolling.

Installing Nvidia drivers from official repos provided by the maintainers of your distro? Easy as pie.

Installing Nvidia drivers from nvidia’s website? Good luck my friend, I hope you know what you’re doing.

Want.

OpenSuse sometime around '07

It didn’t click, ended up moving to Ubuntu almost immediately. A few years later I moved to Fedora. Circa 2020 I dove into Archlinux and managed that for a couple years. Nowadays as I’m learning server stuff I’ve switched to Mint.

There is exactly one type of noob that should be using arch and that’s the kind that has already built an Exocar or at least understands why somebody would.

Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.

Honestly, instead of playing shitty clones of games made with child labor through roblox, just play the original games they’re cloning.

Couple of weeks ago I was at a friends place for dinner and the son was playing Roblox. Everyone in the room except him knew he was playing a WoW clone. His dad even told him, “you know I’ll buy you a subscription if you wanna play the real game instead of a shitty clone”

Don’t play Roblox. Its just cheap imitations made with child labor.
