I hate to say it but Hyperland and potentially other wlroots have excellent support for vrr. I'd like to see if gnome does a better job than kde. I think they were one of the first ones to work with Nvidia when it came to gnome.

I don't know why but the latest version of kde has horrible screen tearing and for right now I'm blaming it on my gsync only monitor.

No need to rush it. I moved recently with an ultra wide 32", 24" and 2 midsized desktop. I ended up with scuff on my ultra wide screen and a gouge on the interior plastics because I closed my hatch on my pc by accident.

Now I have a lil squiggly dead center of my screen but thankfully no tempered glass mess in the back.

Hate the irrational hate for Nvidia, Wayland or some desktop . I'm just out here trying to help others figure out their problem and some asshole comments"Nvidia doesn't work on wayland", "just get an amd card", "Wayland will never work" or "gsync doesn't work in Linux with multiple monitors".

All of them are equally absurd, the last one largely true on xorg for any GPU. Xorg doesn't do mixed frame rates. Also it doesn't help the person who is using an Nvidia card because there are solutions for most issues. Those issues are just not well understood because there was a time Nvidia drivers just didn't work on wayland etc.

I hate gatekeepers and purist that just make anyone who might be new to the platform feel attacked or alienated. No one cares about your ideologies if they're not asking and the idiots that parot it doesn't prove anything other than your part of the loud minority. Just being kind to one another and being understanding of other peoples decisions can go a long way to growing a healthy supportive community.

I'm still a little frustrated about the behavior of people when I was trying to help someone setup hardware video acceleration in their browser. And another that wanted to use a different distro but found Nvidia worked best on arch for him.

Kinda a neat utility for kids. I thought it was kinda neat when I used it as a kid.

Get em started young. By the time they're 16 they'll ask what's all this about then and flip the desk like a British rockstar every time they're handed a computer with vscode.

Sorry, had too much fun crossing the natural rockstar trope with the vim Chad meme.

Travel and see the world expense be damned. I'm young though.

Yeah, I'm glad people in gnome are finally getting it. My mother has gnome on her PC and if she ever plays something modern she'll probably enjoy it.

I didn't make excuses for them, I'm not defending them. I'm just telling you guys to stop attacking people just because of the choices they made in the past. We should celebrate Linux becoming more inclusive and easier to use not scream at other people for making a decision weather it was informed or not.

Someone has a good experience five other people who never owned an Nvidia cards or is using a shit laptop chime in with a smug attitude calling them an idiot because they own a card that potentially runs like shit on Linux. Just let people enjoy their stuff, help them out if idk... They ask you what works best with Linux or maybe.. asks for your damn opinion.

This is the toxicity I'm talking about, the attitude that people bitch and moan about everytime someone brings up the Linux community. I try to be helpful and friendly to newcomers but straight up telling people they should feel bad for making a choice doesn't fix anything or making negative remarks on something someone is excited about.

Nvidia is trying to make more of their driver open source, the very thing you guys get a hard on about when you complain about it. It's for the same reason AMD is open source(free labor and vulnerability patches) but still good because better experience.

And guess what, I own an amd cpu and even I can't ignore them artificially moving the price of their new cups and gpus up the price stack while neglecting to release cheaper more obtainable parts like they used to. It's almost like they're all greedy companies and your stiffie for AMD cards are unwarranted.

Get fucking real, instead of getting bent you should shop for hardware like you'd shop for a toaster oven the features you want, the best value, for the cheapest price.

Have fun with your lil circle jerk I'm out.

What ever makes you feel better. The attitude towards Nvidia is toxic considering some people need it for work and other people just don't have the choice to switch.

The Nvidia open source drivers are provided by Nvidia and the nvk project is built referencing that code. Nvidia itself has helped in their weird way by providing stuff like headers for the 3D acceleration and compute hardware to giving nouveau access to the GSP firmware blobs. These new drivers would be near impossible without a little help from Nvidia.

It's really hard to ask a company that makes a shitload on quatro cards to just give up the source code when pretty much the only difference between quartos and rt cards comes down to software locks and slightly higher quality silicon.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be impatiently & excitedly waiting for the open source Nvidia drivers get good enough for me to switch. I do afteral have at least 4 more years of life in my card.😜

So, it works don't it. Your literally alienating anyone who just switched to Linux and is trying out open source software for that?

Nvidia is the best graphics card you can get on Windows and your saying instead of keeping your hardware longer, throw it out and spend almost 1k on a new graphics card? If you didn't pay attention to the state of Linux drivers before you decided to flip Microsoft the bird your saying "too bad go back to windows or get a real graphics card"?

That's a shitty take and if I'd listened to people like you without testing the waters myself I'd have never left windows because I happen to use my graphics cards for at least five years. In that time period I'd probably have forgotten why I wanted to switch in the first place.

Try Nvidia vaapi driver! On arch you gotta make sure you setup hardware acceleration no matter what hardware your rocking.

I think Firefox defaults to Wayland now but you can check by going to about:support in Firefox and seeing if it's running in Wayland or XWayland. Hardware video acceleration isn't supported in XWayland as far as I can tell. I don't know about chrome you'll just half to look that up your self.

Not broken on Wayland just gnome. X11 has its issues but on pretty much every other Wayland desktop gsync works fine. Gsync also works under x11 if all your monitors support the same refresh rate and gsync/freesync.

Having different refresh rates on different screens never worked on x11 weather you were using AMD or nvidia it just defaults to the lowest refresh rate.

You say that like it's a bad thing.😄 Whatever he learns on arch he can bring with him to any other distro. Heak he could have tried it on the other distros to get his system working.

I'm not trying to be mean but this sounds like someone who didn't understand his system at all and he's about to learn a lot.

Things are changing fast. Nvidia has their own "open source drivers" that are almost identical to the proprietary ones and the NVK project has open source drivers that might outperform the proprietary drivers in most games.

Now the only reason you might install the property drivers by the end of this year is cuda and potentially open CL.I think they're protective of their drivers because about the only thing separating their rt cards from their quatro cards are their drivers and software locked features. Quartos probably get put in more Linux systems than any other type of system.

I'll probably get back to you in a few years, still mastering the motions and actions.

Your a computer plugged into an organic matrix.

Damn, I thought it was a requirement to shit post on Twitter while you're shitty code compiles. How am I supposed to become a real programmer now? I guess I still got mastodon.

I don't even get the reference but I remember how much cringe there was on Reddit.

You must have NSFW filters on.
