Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

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. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 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. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • 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 figuresWe 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.

    unless you use cutting edge distro

    yea well, "arch btw". Haven't had issues really, been running it for years on other systems but my gaming pc with nvidia is the only one with issues... because of course it does. :D

    [–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Of course. Mileage may vary. On some systems it may always work, on others it's "what's broken this week".

    [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    word. some devices just have angry machine spirits which just can't be pleased.

    Have you tried feeding them your youngest children?

    [–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    haven't forked, no children. will neighbour's do?

    [–] tux0r@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

    Good idea. Try and report back. If it does not work, sorry!

    I use downgrade.

    e.g.

    downgrade nvidia-dkms lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings nvidia-utils

    Never had an issue with Nvidia. But then I'm using an Ubuntu distro because I just want my computer to work and I don't care about bleeding edge / rolling distros.

    And I will move to Wayland in a few years when all the issues are sorted out, which I suspect is part of people's problems.
