A similar question was raised some day’s ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I’m searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game’s and also native Linux...
So i’m helping my best friend to try instaling nvidia gtx 1050 mobile drivers on his laptop, we genualy don’t know what to do and i can figure out how to make it work, so it would be very helpfull if someone could explain me what to do or provive me with a guide to make it work
Check on your laptop with dmesg | grep -i chipset the codename of your graphic card. With this you can check which driver is the best on wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA. There is a paragraph, explaining which driver is the best.
If I understand it right, the nvidia package is the correct one for 1050. So you can use pacman -S nvidia with root privileges. All dependencies should be resolved automatically.
I would recommend to reboot, in case there are changed kernel modules.
2 things i have to note: Using Wayland is a total mess with nvidia. Specially on Arch Linux. I have screen flickering in GUI and games, the performance is so lala and tools like KeePass which needs access to the text in window titles did not work complete. On Manjaro, the flickering doesn’t exist, but the other symptoms do. Maybe im missing some packages on Arch.
Second with Vulkan i have some tearing in games. I have not looked further in to that.
On the other hand, games like Satisfactory or Elder Scrolls Online, have more FPS with the same settings as on Windows.
Currently i test Arch and Manjaro in parallel on the same Laptop. But I tend to keep Manjaro and remove Arch. There are light pro’s and con’s, but overall, I’m more happy with Manjaro. But this has nothing to do with you’re issue.
This is my first time setting up a Raspberry Pi4 (8GB). Before, I have used a RPi 3B for some other things. From what i have read is, that IO performance should be a lot better on the RPi4, as with the RPi3B. But i get the same speeds as before. I have setup the following:...
Yes. Arch Linux, but on a laptop. Nice combination. I thought the pre-caching is displayed as a separate dialog for Vulkan, which I can interrupt, if I want.
But I have every day a message directly right nearby the play button which reads something about “Download Update…” and the play button is grayed out.
Since currently I’m only playing Satisfactory, and I have downloaded the shader’s, it should not come back the next day? Or is that wrong?
I mean, it’s not the download which annoy me, its the time before I can start the game. It takes ages to download this 170MB from steam server’s. Normally 170MB is transferred really fast for other things, but the update takes 5 minutes and longer from steam server’s.
I have played that game a lot in my old days on Windows, but under Linux I have a lot of crashes. I have installed the game via Steam and it starts in to mainmenu. But mostly when I try to start a game, it crashes. After reading some tips, I have changed proton to GE-Proton 8.3. with that crashes occur a little bit rarer, but to...
I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn’t possible? What’s going on here?
I would like to install Ungoogled Chromium, but I can only find ungoogled Chromium as an older version on Arch AUR and a “Ungoogled Chromium XDG” as a newer build. Can someone please explain me what’s the difference between Ungoogled Chromium and Ungoogled Chromium XDG?
I want to have only the FPS and the time to be displayed. On my screenshot you can see a setting with 16.7ms. I have no idea what this is, How can i remove this and keep only the FPS and the time?
I try to play “Empyrion” on Linux via Steam. I have tried other games like “Satisfactory” without any issues and with a better performance as on Windows. But with Empyrion i get a max of 10 - 13 fps, where i have ~60fps on Windows on the same laptop. Graphic adapter is a nVidia 1050 GTX and OS is Arch Linux. If i...
Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory.

I’m on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid.

In this case, shouldn’t the output per pipeline be 33% rather than 50%? After all, there are 3 outputs. Or is 50% on the “middle” pipeline and 50% on the two new ones together?
How can I actually see how full the hydrogen tank is? This is always displayed with 0/total quantity in the station’s inventory.
