Hmm. Okay. I think I'll get it anyways, $630 USD for a MSI Thin A15 B7VE-038CA 15.6" 144Hz Gaming Laptop, AMD Ryzen R7 7735HS, RTX 4050, 16GB DDR5, 512GB NVMe SSD seems too good to pass up. I'll just hope Nvidia drivers get better on Wayland soon.

That looks super promising, then you just have to remove the posts at the end and reformat the links and you'd be good. Are you thinking of scraping the images and putting those local too?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:39 PM

nvk is a project reverse engineering the drivers though

wolfyreload•7/31/24, 1:39 PM

nvk might be good in a year but it's not there yet

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:39 PM

thats more promising than anything nvidia does

wolfyreload•7/31/24, 1:41 PM

Have you seen that the Nvidia 560 Linux drivers are in beta now? I wonder if they fixed stuff or broke more things

Zeglius•7/31/24, 1:41 PM

All by hand, though I have enough free time xD

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:41 PM

they broke linux gaming on the beta driver

Aasen23 you also could just disable the dgpu

KamquatOP•7/31/24, 1:41 PM

Well yes, but that seems silly to do if I want to game

KamquatOP•7/31/24, 1:42 PM

So... I want to run GNOME Bazzite on Nvidia, is that what I'm hearing?

Ttryhardsoccermomswag they broke linux gaming on the beta driver

wolfyreload•7/31/24, 1:42 PM

The main use case for the driver.... wow....

Ttryhardsoccermomswag theres major bugs in plasma wayland

asen23•7/31/24, 1:43 PM

with hybrid amd igpu + nvidia dgpu, would the desktop affected by nvidia bug?

KKamquat So... I want to run GNOME Bazzite on Nvidia, is that what I'm hearing?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:43 PM

you'll still have nvidia exclusive issues but plasma 6 + nvidia is a bad combo

Ttryhardsoccermomswag you'll still have nvidia exclusive issues but plasma 6 + nvidia is a bad combo

KamquatOP•7/31/24, 1:43 PM

What are the non-plasma desktop issues?

Aasen23 with hybrid amd igpu + nvidia dgpu, would the desktop affected by nvidia bug?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:43 PM

yup i think so

wolfyreload•7/31/24, 1:44 PM

btw nick... you should really consider getting yourself a handheld, you'll love it once you try it

KKamquat What are the non-plasma desktop issues?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:44 PM

firefox crashing, waydroid has no gpu accerlation, and some other things

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:45 PM

ally is coming my way

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:45 PM

ally x*

EsauFtgz•7/31/24, 1:45 PM

is the ally X noticeably heavier than the ally? I've heard arguments on both sides

EsauFtgz•7/31/24, 1:46 PM

it's what? 40g?

EsauFtgz•7/31/24, 1:46 PM

but the ergonomics would be a big factor I assume

Ttryhardsoccermomswag ally x*

Oh really? Sweet!

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:46 PM

Its funny how all I wanted was fedora silverblue but for gaming

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:46 PM

which is what bazzite is

wolfyreload•7/31/24, 1:47 PM

Is that how you got involved in Bazzite?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:47 PM

but i guess "steamOS on windows handhelds" is cool too

Ttryhardsoccermomswag firefox crashing, waydroid has no gpu accerlation, and some other things

KamquatOP•7/31/24, 1:47 PM

Hmm.. Firefox is the only one I see being an issue, I don't need Waydroid on desktop immediately.

Wwolfyreload Is that how you got involved in Bazzite?

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:48 PM

kind of yea. i knew what ublue was already, i talked to kyle on the steam deck discord, and i had a now dead "immutable linux" discord that a few people involved were on for a short time

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:49 PM

i just like the linux desktop when its nearly maintainence-free, so i was using silverblue, opensuse aeon (microos desktop at the time), endlessOS, and vanillaOS

Pryka•7/31/24, 1:50 PM

oh i wonder how is vanillaos now after 2.0 release

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:51 PM

hopefully doing well

antheas•7/31/24, 1:53 PM

theyre also doing the OCI route

HikariKnight•7/31/24, 1:53 PM

thats a lot better backstory than me

I got involved because my polaris gpu was stuck at 30w

(oh and because installing krita in the portal would install ardour)

tryhardsoccermomswag•7/31/24, 1:57 PM

hey that's fine. i was involved when the only 2 bazzite maintainers on the project were Kyle and RJ, and both were doing development while i just wrote the installation guide and tested stuff

antheas•7/31/24, 1:57 PM

HEY THE GARBAGE RUN LETS GO

antheas•7/31/24, 1:57 PM

one of them crashed tho

antheas•7/31/24, 1:57 PM

because it ran out of space

HikariKnight•7/31/24, 1:58 PM

nice!

antheas•7/31/24, 1:58 PM

doing a fix for the space sisue
