A garden gnome that fights sperm whales

Have you tried gnome connections? It's more on the "quick and easy" rather than "professional" side, but maybe it does the job.

Tho I wonder whether it's more of a windows-side issue... maybe windows 11 requires some kind of online authentication that cannot be implemented by other clients, and maybe this authentication can be turned off. I'm merely speculating here, but I know that remmina works for windows 10 so it's suspicious.

It works because of triangles. Just start drawing some diagrams and you'll quickly figure out how on your own. Which is more fun than having someone give you a geometric proof.

Try it. Look at a mirror and put a ruler on the mirror, the size of your face on the mirror will always be the same, no matter how far you are. It will be half the size of your actual face.

When you see your own face in the mirror, no matter how far you are, the portion of the mirror showing your face is always half the size of your actual face.

AMD has an nvdec/nvenc equivalent called AMF, on Linux it's going to be deprecated in months in favour of va-api.

To my knowledge, it does not have an nvfbc equivalent. Which anyway, Nvidia has deprecated on windows in favour of a windows-native screen capture with a name I don't remember.

For what is worth, va-api encoding + kmsgrab works pretty well for me, it does have some latency, but nothing too unacceptable. Probably less than the one caused by the Bluetooth controller. And none of this is vendor specific, you can get it working on Intel, AMD and Nvidia (Nvidia needs a compatibility layer, but it works). Also, it works on Wayland, but sunshine needs some privileges to work.

Sunshine supposedly supports nvfbc with patched Nvidia drivers, even on Linux, I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it works on Wayland. I don't see why it shouldn't, as long as you give sunshine privileged permissions (like you need for kmsgrab). Even without nvfbc you can use nvenc, so you don't need the va-api compatibility layer.

Supposedly, since this Nvidia driver release nvfbc is used as backend for pipewire screen capture, so it should just work for apps like OBS, I don't know if sunshine has intention to move to it.

In general, screen capture on Linux pretty much works, even on Wayland. The general sentiment that it's broken is actually old news.

There's a caveat though. Proprietary apps tend to use outdated stuff (e.g. electron builds from 5 years ago) and thus don't support screen sharing on Wayland.

It doesn't replace the editor, it creates a stream and opens it in your default text editor. When you write out, it saves the stream to an appropriate drop in file

Fstab is still there untouched, it's the temporary units files that get replaced at reload.

The mount program works as normally, if you edit fstab and then mount -a it will work as expected, it will just warn you that systemd is not aware of the change. It will reload it anyway at the next boot.

daemon-reload is not daemon-restart, it just makes systemd re-read the configuration to make it aware of the changes, but the services don't get restarted. Some services (e.g. nginx) can re-read their confuration without restarting, those services are also made aware of the changes when reloading and can be reloaded individually.

You can edit any systemd units using systemctl edit so you don't need to reload (fstab is not a systemd unit)

Fstabs gets converted into temporary unit files every time systems reloads config files (reboot or daemon-reload) so you can just keep using it like you always did. Actually it's the systemd suggested way to manage mountpoints unless you need something advanced that fstabs can't do.

Can I get a better Nvidia+Wayland experience by using prime and connecting the display to an AMD iGPU? I saw that in the last year Nvidia Prime had some improvements, do they make it feasible?

I can't just try it because I have yet to buy said AMD iGPU. And I'd like to know it before buying

 

When the jack is inserted the internal speakers stop making sound and the only analog out is the jack, as it's common on laptops. But I want to address the two analog output individually so that I can:

  • Still select the speakers when headphones are plugged
  • Have different sounds come from headphones and speaker
  • Mix them with carla or other audio software

My alsa/pipewire settings are all default, I'm on a thinkpad t480s with fedora 38. My sound card is an intel hd audio card, with a realtek ALC257 analog chip.

I tried disabling auto_mute and rising the volume from alsamixer but nothing happens. Then I switching pipewire to "pro audio" but it doesn't separate the analog outputs. I also tried setting the indep_hp hint from hdarackretask but it doesn't change anything.

The hint enables a new "independent hp" option in alsamixer, but it can only be enabled by the cli and it doesn't work either.

I can provide configuration files or other info if needed but since they are all pretty long I didn't include them in the post. Also because I didn't edit them so they are just fedora's default.

Thanks
