  • 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.

    I was broken long before nVidia drivers and Wayland.

    I was crushed long ago while trying to compile the driver for a Sound Blaster Gold sound card for Fedora 6 and Mandrake 6. Two weeks and 20 pages of printed out instructions. Two weeks of hell in kernels. It should have worked. The terminal showed no errors and nor did the logs. But no sound came forth. I had to buy a boxed set for Mandrke 7 to get sound.

    So here I sit with a fresh install of Fedora 40 on my trusty old Nitro 5 wondering if I should install the nVidia drivers and I hear the silent foot steps of that Sound Blaster........

    But hey, at least my printer works.

    pacman -S nvidia and I've never had any issues. I know that it's not that easy in some other distros, but maybe stop using shitty distros.

    This is the most Arch Linux comment I've read in a while. This is easy in most mainstream distros now, but there are exceptions like NixOS or Gentoo, which aren't shitty but are just harder for specific reasons.

    The recent developments for Nvidia drivers on Linux have been wild. Never thought it would happen

    [–] art@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

    It ain't like it used to be. Just upgraded my machine to an Nvidia for the first time in like 10+ years.

    sudo apt install nvidia

    After a reboot it was smooth as hell. I remember the dark ages. I remember fucking with X.org settings. 😐

    On a related note, when did Joaquin Phoenix turn into a younger Jeremy Irons?

    ... and DirectX 12

    How are you bodily depressed?

    [–] FatCat@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

    That is why this meme is so funny to me. It is worded in an intentionally stupid manner this adds a level of irony to it. 😂

    Wow, there is so much good info on how the buddy holds mental distress. You've never heard of that?
