Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn't order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn't load.

This was me with my 4070. Eventually figured it out, but WOW does Nouveau suck until you get the drivers working. Still, loving Fedora 42 more than Windows 10, so I'm not going back.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, Nouveau did phenomenal work (reverse-engineering the driver) they shouldn't have had to do if it wasn't for Nvidias stubbornness. Especially for older cards it's the way to go, and it really isn't their fault the proprietary driver sucks so much. Since Nvidia now finally fixes their shit with the new driver (hopefully) it wouldn't make sense to put too much work into supporting any RTX card anymore.

Not dissing the Nouveau folk for their work, I'm dissing Nvidia for being so shit as to force it.

[–] drq@mastodon.ml 7 points 5 days ago

@Dogiedog64 Yeah. There was a time when Nvidia did their damnedest to make Nouveau developers' life a living hell.

AMD and Intel have almost the same performance on Linux. NVIDIA has not though. I had something 10-15% less fps with my RTX 3070, even with a gaming distro, latest NVIDIA drivers running and proton-GE.
