Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    this is someone that's never dealt with drivers for optimus lol, which I'm pretty sure is the main reason people hate nvidia on linux so much

    5 years ago it was not a single command anywhere as far as I know. historic arch link since the history button was easy to find, but I think the process was similar elsewhere: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=NVIDIA_Optimus&oldid=523777

    You misremember. Back in 2010 the command was optirun. Although more than one solution exists under the hood user friendly distros (not arch) generally had you right click on the game in your menu and select something like run with nvidia. Throughout the last like 14 years the 2 dominant things were optirun foo and prime-run foo
