Since you mentioned that this is a hybrid-GPU laptop, I’d suggest trying to change your default GPU to Nvidia exclusively from the relevant system tray applet. I did use to use Linux Mint on my old Acer gaming laptop and this helped a lot.

Did you install proprietary Nvidia drivers through the Driver Manager app?

I love systemd!

What are your computer specifications? How did you install your games?

Well, I just gave my reason for using Arch. Pre-Turing cards are already problematic on Linux, not just with Hyprland.

Arch Linux. I wanted to try Hyprland with something and I felt like it was the easiest with Arch.

Unfortunately, no. My assertion came from sheer popularity of their GitHub repositories and personal observation among my tech-savvy friend groups.

You can start checking out their code yourself, though. There are a lot of open-source software out there and it would be unfeasible for anyone to audit their code themselves. At some point, you’ll have to put some trust into others. Be it software audit companies, or the Signal developers.

Signal’s source code has so much more eyes looking at it than xz-utils.

Devil May Cry 3 (2005)

About six months ago decided to start Devil May Cry V on my Steam Deck after keeping it in my backlog for a year. After watching the intro cutscene, I decided that I definitely have to play all the previous games before it.

I have been playing the first trilogy (HD collection) a few hours every week or two (full-time jobs suck) since then. I think I am mid-day through the third game - just beat the nude lady.

Wayland was an evil corporation? It all now makes sense!

A Linux distribution is just the Linux kernel distributed with various other pieces of software that make it usable. Often times, there are multiple software projects that aim achieve the same goal by going in different paths. These are packaged together by the distro maintainers who mostly do this out of passion.

Different distros prioritize different aspects of the software they package and they do this in different ways. To make the best choice for you, it is best to try and understand what each distro aims to do. Here are a few examples out my head:

• Debian is a traditional distribution that aims to keep the system stable for a few years. They do backport security patches, but slow rollout of feature updates is a deal-breaker for some people (like me).
• CachyOS (based on Arch Linux) compiles it’s packages utilizing newest CPU instructions which may lead to slight performance gain on newer hardware. They also ship some kernel patches optimizing it for gaming use cases.
• Bazzite is based on an atomic/immutable version of Fedora. The aim here is to provide a system that makes it very hard for users to mess it up, using containerization technologies. It also means that installing packages in the traditional way is not very feasible or recommended. You are supposed to install packages without root access and using technologies like flatpak. It also includes some gaming specific kernel patches similar to CachyOS, but not as many.

It looks like you opted for home directory encryption when installing the OS and somehow it got unmounted. It is also likely that by trying to delete encrypted chunks you have corrupted your home directory, which might explain login not working.

It seems like the change affects not just Google Chrome, but the Chromium in general. I assume this will also propogate to all apps using Electron, right?

I don’t dislike much about Linux and do realize that most issues stem from major software developers simply ignoring its existence. Here are a few I had to scratch my head for:

1. Sub-par touchpad experience.

Touchpads on Linux are generally worse when it comes to palm rejection compared to Windows. Macbooks are on a completely different level.

Another thing missing is the scrolling acceleration, which is present on Windows and MacOS.

2. Wayland protocol development.

People who approve protocol proposals are very annoying and often stall critical protocols for years.

Thanks. This might finally push me to switch.

(Note that I am not sure how much of this is depends on my client - Voyager.)

Ability to filter out posts made by people from the instances I have blocked, on communities that I did not block.

For example: feddit.org seems to have blocked all IPs from my country so I cannot see any posts made by them (I can only see their crossposts).

However, people on that instance can post to lemmy.world and while I can see the post text, any media fails to load. Sometimes, when I am not lazy, I use a VPN to see such posts in detail.

Fedora is not Red Hat. While they fund Fedora development, they don’t dictate how to it is ran.
