one last question before i reinstall.. When during installation, i told it to install OpenTabletDriver, it installed a containerized Arch version, instead of native. Why is that?

i know a dude irl named will smith

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:34 PM

there's too many

it is just generally best to avoid layering packages on the base image unless it's actually necessary

Pez•5/22/24, 10:39 PM

probably also avoids having to build it with patches for userspace components?

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:39 PM

layering packages have consequences

HunanbeanOP•5/22/24, 10:39 PM

Ok, thanks. That part always confuses me. many years back, when trying to move to linux, i had major issues with containerized things not communicating with other things. I assume that is not an issue with Bazzite?

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

distrobox is magic

Pez•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

distrobox solved all that

Pez•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

yeah

Pez•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

at least 99% of it

HunanbeanOP•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

Excellent! Thank you both

Pez•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

many years back was like being here for the war

Pez•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

so you have a headstart!

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:40 PM

distrobox and brew really make the whole "package manager wars" seem like an even bigger joke

Pez•5/22/24, 10:41 PM

i still remember back in 2016 having my mind blown apart seeing doom running at 2k60fps on a potato that could barely handle windows

Pez•5/22/24, 10:41 PM

now the OS is actually usable i can finally take advantage of this

Pez•5/22/24, 10:42 PM

i've been using fedora workstation as a hypervisor since then and i swear to god the amount of times i've had to reinstall because of some STUPID packaging anachronism

HunanbeanOP•5/22/24, 10:42 PM

Oh, i lied. one more question.. I still cannot wirte to the .conf for nvidia-settings without root persmissions. this always seems very wrong to me.. am i missing something?

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

god i haven't used nvidia in a while or edited .conf files but you need

sudoedit

sudoedit

Pez•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

they shouldn't even leave that damn button in there if all it's going to do is break people's xconfigs

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

and edit that file directly with nano or somehting

Pez•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

I know on silverblue, when I installed opentabletdriver, I had to remove the wacom driver and rebuild the initramfs

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:43 PM

this is the reason i want X11 to not be a thing even though i know accessibiliy, most DEs/WMs, Nvidia woes, and other edge case scenarios for creatives rely on it still :(

HunanbeanOP•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

Ok, since i do not know the syntax, i suppose i will have it write to user documents area, then manually edit in the information that is relevant

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

idk if distroboxes avoids that problem

Pez•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

basically yeah

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

Or if that just isn't an issue with bazzite

Pez•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

good ole nvidia tier suffering

Pez•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

we are SO close to fixing it

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:44 PM

almost the year of the wayland desktop

Pez•5/22/24, 10:45 PM

i remember ten years ago laughing at wayland and now i almost almost take it seriously!

HunanbeanOP•5/22/24, 10:45 PM

I will reserve my cheers until finalized

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:48 PM

idk, I wasn't able to play any steam games on the xorg session in my nvidia laptop

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:48 PM

thats def a skill issue or a weird edge case

PPez many years back was like being here for the war

59smoke•5/22/24, 10:48 PM

I used solus for like 4 or 5 years. I loved that distro. It was fast, stable, and well maintained. Everything just worked. But it was limited on packages. After the maintainer uncertainty I moved to arch for the AUR. But if distro box was a thing back then, it would have been prefect

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:48 PM

Wpuld literally just freeze my computer until the program crashed

tryhardsoccermomswag•5/22/24, 10:49 PM

i used nvidia on linux until 2022 and was fine (obviously on X11)

Mervius•5/22/24, 10:49 PM

the wayland session worked just fine
