I finally decided to just turn it off. I'm gonna see what happens.

Is there anywhere to host gifs and mp4s in the Fediverse? in c/fediverse@lemmy.ml

Thanks. I never tried Pixelfed, but from what I could get from their homepage, they don't support mp4.

I'm not on Mastodon, but have some friends who are. I'll ask them about it.

Linux gaming on an Nvidia graphics card in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[–] linuxFan@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

I've been gaming on Nvidia cards since I switched over 3 years ago and only had a few issues.

On initial install, the opensource nvidia drivers wouldn't work - I had to go into the terminal and select the proprietary ones. That's pretty much it, really. Other than that, I've had about the same amount of issues with AMD(integrated graphics) and Nvidia.

On the plus side, Nvidia has a nice little control panel. It's basic, doesn't have all that GeForce Experience stuff, plus there are command line utilities like nvidia-smi(basic info) and nvtop(temp, clock, usage, memory stats). AMD doesn't have a control panel, that I'm aware of.

As far as distro, I'd say just chose the one you're most comfortable with. I don't think there are any huge differences between them concerning gaming performance.
