lenovo gaming laptop kernel module bullshit

Kyle GospoOP•4/23/24, 6:45 PM

yup, it's hell

termdisc•4/23/24, 6:46 PM

throw in Mint for an extra dash of flavor

Ddslauter oh for sure, it's a lenovo hybrid with amd integrated and a nvidia 3060m

potemkinhr•4/23/24, 6:51 PM

in the same pickle, hybrid AMD APU+ nVidia GPU (but APU disabled), Lenovo legion, still thinking of jumping in head first when bazzite is out

if matt is correct then hopefully 3.0.0 will be a good release for this hardware setup

matt_schwartz•4/23/24, 6:52 PM

You will have a much better time leaving the iGPU active as well

potemkinhr•4/23/24, 6:53 PM

oh so there have been major steps with optimus since I last looked? It would be nice to not hear the fan humm

dslauter•4/23/24, 6:54 PM

Switching to X11 fixed it!

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:54 PM

figured lol

matt_schwartz•4/23/24, 6:54 PM

at least for desktop use it’s a night and day difference. Letting the iGPU handle desktop compositing has a lot of benefits. I’d say it works pretty similar to my Rog Ally in terms of desktop experience

Kyle GospoOP•4/23/24, 6:55 PM

it's also no longer a 50% drop in performance on GNOME

potemkinhr•4/23/24, 6:55 PM

well it costs me nothing, as long as it knows to use the DGPU for games

potemkinhr•4/23/24, 6:56 PM

if switching works well it might actually be in a better state than in windows, it tended to stuck on the nVidia when exiting games

dslauter•4/23/24, 6:57 PM

So switching to X11 has a downside of not being able to disable the touchscreen, on Wayland we have the nice toggle in the UI. Typically in X11 I'll update /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and set the ignore option on the touchscreen

im working on the kernel driver

well did last month

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

X11 has a lot of downsides lol

antheas•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

that driver needs a lot of work

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

but currently this will have to work for you

antheas•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

logs a lot of s to dmesg

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

it's legacy software at this point

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

hopefully KDE Plasma 6 fixes the login issue you have

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

so you can switch back

antheas•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

never gonna be upstream with this quality

antheas•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

yes x11 is garbage and slow

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

it's old

dslauter•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

it's all good, i'll deal with that minor issue to stay on wayland

dslauter•4/23/24, 6:58 PM

but good to know it's an option

Niklas ⚡•4/23/24, 6:59 PM

In 2 Months it should be (hopefully) a lot better

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:59 PM

explicit sync protocol

Ttryhardsoccermomswag in comparison to AMD on linux? they're worse

PacoA•4/23/24, 6:59 PM

I have an RTX 2060 around, wondering if I should sell it and get an AMD card for my HTPC (mostly gaming)

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 6:59 PM

yes

tryhardsoccermomswag•4/23/24, 7:00 PM

AMD is the better option for gaming on linux

potemkinhr•4/23/24, 7:01 PM

I also have it in my desktop rig, a hand-me-down. Have the money to replace it but on principle I refuse to change it, the games I play work on it normally, don't really want to throw away stuff that works adequately for me

Niklas ⚡•4/23/24, 7:01 PM

what in the name of everything thats holy

Niklas ⚡•4/23/24, 7:01 PM
