@guigirl No, that is always the same since decades with NVidia & Linux - the Open Source drivers are not good enuff.
-
@DoctorG Yeah, that's why i chose in my early Linux years, once i came to learn how troublesome nvidia gpu's were in Linux, to physically remove my cheapo nvidia from my tower & only use the integrated gpu. It's been great for me ever since.
-
@guigirl Unfortunately my Intel i915 GPU is a crap for meetings and video.

@DoctorG Oh, but but but...

... whowhat?
yeah Ncrapia dropped Kepler support some time ago, last supported driver is 470, you 'd need the dkms drivers in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-470xx-dkms, kernel headers too, more to read in the wiki ofc...
-
@npro I feared that answer
-
@DoctorG Stick to the lts kernel with older hardware, you 'll get far less rebuilds. Shouldn't take much time to build either.

@npro Anyone who uses light themes is

I tried to find the original song Penny Jane but I could only find the alternative, but that would also do the job, based on melody

With great sadness, i now find myself with no alternative but to uninstall Plasma & change to
gnomeenlightenment.I mean, after this epic insult,
nobody
could continue to use plasma & still sleep at night nor look themselves in the mirror next day. Shirley!Both KDE Plasma and Xfce are tailored to provide the most comfortable Windows-like experience in a Linux distribution. However, KDE can be a more suitable choice.
This is a big deal for users who recently switched from Windows to Linux to experience the perks.Many tech journos seem to churn out banal columns like this, offering no new insights nor inspirations, but instead apparently just to get their editor off their back.
-
@guigirl yeah in general I avoid reading that kind of articles of popular sites (by popular I mean those that are targeted to the general audience). Ankush Das, a Computer Science graduate. Right...
Xfce has evolved over the years to provide elementary-OS-like visuals out of the box.
lol what?
-
@guigirl I thought (& btw I was told) Plasma would be the best choice if someone wanted to have some Mac-like experience on Linux.
So don't be upset & take that article as a tribute to Plasma: it can be whatever you want . -
@hlehyaric Geez i hate optimists!
-
Quite interesting, including Nate's remarks.
I laughed out loud at this:
Just curious; why would you not use KDE Neon?
then snorted in delight at the deft put-down:
Neon is built on Ubuntu. That's why I don't use it.
-
@guigirl That and what a Manjarian said...
Both are similar. Both are inferior to arch+aur, and the packages that i use that i did not find in one weren't present in the other.
-
Yay for the new release! This distro needs more recognition!
Oh what a dope! That command would never work there...
