With Nvidia 550 dropping, I kinda want to try Plasma to see if I can get VRR working right! Is there anything I should keep in mind when switching from the gnome image to plasma, like any issues that could occur?

yes, any number of things can blow up

upstream recommends not rebasing across DEs and we are not really going to be able to support you

configure in windows the way you want it, reboot to linux and never change it.
you will be limited to map the paddles to other gamepad buttons, you cannot map them to keyboard

i was wondering why the rebase commands were removed entirely from the ublue pages, now i see why

aki•3/2/24, 1:02 AM

what made silverblue nice was that you can switch between DEs and the only thing you had to worry about was the home dotfiles

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:02 AM

that's not specific to us, Fedora makes that recommendation in regards to Silverblue/Kinoite/Etc

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:02 AM

The main images & rebase commands were removed because the main images were designed to be consumed, not used as your host operating system

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:03 AM

that's where the other projects here come into play

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:08 AM

if only there was a way to solve it using something like overlayfs and just add the gnome/kde desktop bits to $HOME by adding a layer with their configs, until they fixed that (or offered a "cleanup kde/gnome configs" in their UIs)

Noel•3/2/24, 1:10 AM

The most annoying thing to me is that KDE plasma isn't super well documented in regards to customizing the dotfiles either. I looked into how to do some things which I thought were basic and omg did I have to search Google to figure it out.

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:10 AM

yep

Noel•3/2/24, 1:10 AM

Not sure on Gnome, but at least they have dconf, KDE doesn't.

Al-Mumin•3/2/24, 1:12 AM

good idea but what if i dont have windows installed at all?

aki•3/2/24, 1:12 AM

yeah i had a hard time figuring out changing stuff KDE/Qt (i.e. setting dark mode) going through the arch wiki, it wasn't as nice as simply setting stuff in dconf and the GTK apps simply just follow that

aki•3/2/24, 1:13 AM

well there's the small complication of either the app being gtk4 or gtk 3.0

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:13 AM

kinda tempted to just make a user and git init the home and change some settings that usually get weirded out when swapping DE and track the changes and write a script to just rm those files

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:13 AM

and then i think about it and think that might be overkill

AAl-Mumin good idea but what if i dont have windows installed at all?

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

then if you have extra usb controllers (not gamepads) on your motherboard, enable vfio and iommu , pray that you have good iommu group layout for your usb controllers and pass the spare usb controller to the VM, locate the ports that got sent to the VM (as they are disconnected from your host machine now) and then configure it in a windows VM.
this is some pretty advanced stuff though and not recommended unless you know what you are doing.
if you have only 1 usb controller on your motherboard, you can forget using a VM for this and would have to do it on a windows machine.

AAl-Mumin good idea but what if i dont have windows installed at all?

Al-Mumin•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

also quite is a problem i only able to use m3 and m4 back buttons no m1 m2 back buttons just wont work whatsoever

aki•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

so what does the clean reinstall part mean? is it a complete rewrite of / including /var/home, or the /var/home can stay considering i think it has its own volume in the luks partition?

HikariKnight•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

m3 and m4 are probbably mapped to nothing

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:17 AM

/var/home is the main problem since it'll be full of config files for your previous DE

im not sure how this would work lol it's a stupid question

HHikariKnight m3 and m4 are probbably mapped to nothing

Al-Mumin•3/2/24, 1:18 AM

m3 and m4 are mapped but m1 m2 are mapped too but linux doesnt let it be used

yeah

i guess i still have to backup my files then :thonk:

Simisear•3/2/24, 1:45 AM

My KDE Neon install has killed itself

Simisear•3/2/24, 1:45 AM

It is just a black screen with some of my open windows from last night

Simisear•3/2/24, 1:46 AM

So I guess its time to move to bazzite earlier than expected

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:49 AM

KDE Neon has been hit or miss for me. Mostly miss

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:49 AM

I installed the latest on a spare PC and the shutdown/poweroff buttons do nothing

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:49 AM

Their QA is really bad

WagesOf•3/2/24, 1:51 AM

Bazzite-ally stable no longer sleeps properly. I don't see anything in known bugs. Did the update break something?

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:52 AM

First I'm hearing of that bug. The ally doesn't use an nvidia card, right?

Dylan•3/2/24, 1:52 AM

The update just bumped the nvidia driver

WWagesOf Bazzite-ally stable no longer sleeps properly. I don't see anything in known bug...

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:52 AM

Kernel bug, should be fixed soon. In the meantime you can do this:

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-ally:39-stable-20240220

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-ally:39-stable-20240220

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 1:52 AM

that'll get you on the last known good kernel version until this is patched

SSimisear So I guess its time to move to bazzite earlier than expected

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/2/24, 1:59 AM

wont be too much longer for plasma 6

tryhardsoccermomswag•3/2/24, 1:59 AM

well months

Al-Mumin•3/2/24, 2:00 AM

i will update my bazzite and see if i got new nvidia update or nah

Simisear•3/2/24, 2:00 AM

god using linux mint to download the offline iso for bazzite has me really miss KDE's tiling functionality

Simisear•3/2/24, 2:01 AM

because I use a stupid 49 inch super ultrawide monitor

AAl-Mumin i will update my bazzite and see if i got new nvidia update or nah

Kyle Gospo•3/2/24, 2:01 AM

it's on 550 now
