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, 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. 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.

    Of all the distros I’ve hopped over the last 25 years, the most self destructive one has to have been Ubuntu.

    I use NixOS btw

    [–] ryehypernova@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    same here! haven't borked my system once since using nixOS

    [–] Outsider9042@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

    Oh I have, but then I just roll back.

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Lucky you, straight up doesn't work on my new laptop.

    [–] dai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Tried the unstable installer?

    [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Installation worked, it was just the usual Nvidia stuff and this time it was way above my skills.

    [–] dai@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Ahh man gotta love NVIDIA. Most of my machines have an NVIDIA GPU, but I've had only a few minor issues along the way. Mostly from me not reading things correctly.

    Saw issues with flickering electron applications, sleep somehow running the GPU until my battery was drained, hyprland just saying not today and random crashes here and there.

    Systems are pretty stable now, laptop runs fine in hybrid mode (AMD / NVIDIA) and I removed almost all electron applications.

    I've found if I can't figure something out I'll start a new module for another package. But I guess if it's something "mission critical" in your case a GPU then it's pretty hard to do much else.

    Yeah, I need GPU for CUDA, so it needs to work. It also doubles as my gaming laptop, which I could live without, but it would be suboptimal.

    Meanwhile in Gentoo: Still compiling.

    Oh wait: binpkgs, update is done and I don't have look at NixOS anymore. [=
