How in the hell did connecting a MONITOR TO MY LAPTOP MAKE IT WORK
How in the hell did connecting a MONITOR TO MY LAPTOP MAKE IT WORK
Dwatching TLE's review of KDE 6 and he keeps mentioning how KDE 6 defaults make better sense than KDE5's alluding to that if you're upgrading to it you'll keep your old settings, which idk if i want that, but i also don't want to (sigh) yet again, reinstall all my stuff

[I’m in shock rn
[How did connecting a monitor fix my problem
VJust mark down what the new changes are and make them yourself
Hmake a new user, log in, log out
then when plasma6 drops reference the other users folder to see what files to delete from
or just go through settings and just restore default on everything you can and hope for the best

~/.config and ~/.local/share that are obvious plasma/kde filesor just go through settings and just restore default on everything you can and hope for the best

TLets gooooo idk how either
Tthis gave me shivers
Tfor some reason
CI think I'm going to give bazzite two years more to fix the papercuts and reinstall SteamOS meanwhile
Dthis method sounds better 
[Well at least it works now
[Well now the nvidishit drivers will be hitting
TI mean it has been hitting since the start
TNvidia drivers are the reason you had to reinstall like 5 times
[True
VReminds me of someone I spoke to in the Deck discord:
"I've tried to install HoloISO so many times, VM or on hardware it just won't work."
"Don't use HoloISO, it sucks. There are better alternatives."
"Why does it suck?"
"I've tried to install HoloISO so many times, VM or on hardware it just won't work."
"Don't use HoloISO, it sucks. There are better alternatives."
"Why does it suck?"
[Okay I think the drivers just struck me HARD
[I love having to do a hard reset
SThanks! I found some earlier posts so ran all this, just installed the looking-glass host drivers on my windows vm, looking promising
KIf that's not a Nvidia driver moment
KSwear to god
[The only reasonable explanation is that the hdmi port on my laptop is connected to the nvidia gpu which then made the first time boot up think that the primary gpu is the nvidia gpu and then it worked?
Hif its muxed that way, checks out but still weird as hell
Has that muxing setup is rare from my experience
[It’s the most logical explanation I can give since my laptop screen is connected to the igpu
C
Tnvidia novideo
Cdiscord can't render HDR
VYeah I thought it was HDR-related
C
CLooks fine here
Ti thought i was seeing the aerodynamics of the steamos recovery image
VNot here lmfao
[well i can now say i succesfully installed linux onto my laptop
[and the way i fixed it was a monitor
Cjust like early 00's
[now that im using bazzite
Cand writing xconf by hand
[its actually really nice
Cit's also fine in the photo browser, it's just browser engines (including firefox, CEF) shitting the bed
SI got the drivers installed in the windows VM and host application. If i execute looking-glass-client from my distrobox it connects to the VM but the host application in windows is crashing with "Not using unsupported adapter: Microsoft basic rendering driver" "Failed to find a supported capture device"
VWhen Nvidia isn't getting in the way of things, it's a good experience
[the only problem i currently see is discover actin up
[it just aint loading
Toh thats weird
Hdisable the virtual display in windows (essentially turn the 2nd display off) also i would recommend installing vnc on the vm
Hand make sure the nvidia card is detected in device manager
