That is probably useful and thank you for lmk, but how does that change the situation when even I force nvidia and primary gpu nothing runs? No snark, I really would like to know.
>>
>>106472989
Its not much different from the environment variables you ran before but theres one missing that may or may not make a difference
__VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only


if you run all 3 env variables with glxinfo you should be able to see if its properly using the nvidia gpu for that command or not
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only glxinfo

OP here, yeah that's me. With a broomstick up my ass. You're probably wondering how i got here. Well, its a long story. It started in bootcamp cause the boomers told me to pull myself by the boostraps. So i booted my PC and some German guy came up on the screen with such a thick german accent I could feel the spit coming out of the screen. Something about Boot Loader and Mutexes. It filled me with furious raged I wanted to put a Boot to his face. It was too hard so i went into webdev and had to learn Bootstrap. Then i took a strapon and shoved it up my boot. Boot it wasn't long enough so i grabbed a broom.

Bambu made a decent printer that was produceable at scale.
To pretend that there was anything else going on besides the utter failure of open-source to materialize such a thing is an utter delusion.
It's now understood that the bearded fuck Prusa was quite instrumental in holding the tech back with his "home user" philosophy that sees no one print faster than an Mk3 and that PETG is the most hard-core material you're allowed.

i suspect prusa's failure stems from them producing the same garbage printer for over a decade rather than its open source nature

money and greed

I'm a dumb dumb smooth brain windows retard. Windows 11 is the last straw for me.
I have switched a gaming laptop to Bazzite and so far it is comfy and does everything I need but people have told me the immutable nature of Bazzite is gonna be an issue for me later on.
I'm confused how so far, but I'm a retarded windows user so WTF would I know. I am open to trying other distros but I would like feedback on.
>When is it being immutable going to be a problem for me? I hear latest drivers can be an issue but I prefer stability over bleeding edge. Are there any other issues with downloading and running programs or other drivers?
other Distros I'm gonna try out on other computers I have.
>Nobara (I heard this one is not immutable)
>Cachy (I heard it has some stability issues but is excellent)
>Debian (is it really that behind on software?)
>Fedora (I'm aware Bazzite is a dumbed down version of this)
>LinuxMint (I don't care if cinimon looks "outdated" I like comfy UIs and care more about utility)
Things I am concerned about is Logitech 300s mouse lack of support or problems (it's my favorite mouse and they don't make it anymore), stability issues with linux downloads or gaming, and I don't see myself ricing my interface as I don't care that much about UI asthetics over functionality.

Any input is appreciated.
Keep in mind I am a dumb dumb normie that just wants to use internets and play games (not any modern slop that requires kernal anticheats) on my linux machines. So forgive me for not wanting to install regular Arch and just want my drivers and install to work out the box with minimal termal comands (don't mind using a terminal, I grew up on DOS, but I just prefer simple flatpacks or downloads from a website)

>I still haven't gotten a good explaination for why Mint is so hated. I think cinimon looks nice.
There's a lot:
>no zram
zram is the standard on Linux for keeping RAM usage low. It's been in Linux for so long that Microsoft copied zram and put it into Windows 10 a decade ago. Mint STILL doesn't have zram which is ridiculous.
>Outdated kernel and software
You might plug in a peripheral and find it doesn't even work because Mint's kernel is too old. Or, you'll play a game and get half the FPS as on Bazzite because the kernel is too old. Plus, the software available on Mint is so old that its version of GIMP predates Proton lol; it's a nearly decade old version of GIMP whereas the rest of the Linux community is enjoying GIMP 3.0 which released this year.
>Stupid unfriendly interface decisions
I have no idea why installing software in Mint is done through a different program from updating software. Discover, Pamac, and GNOME Software all do both.
>Snapshots
You know system restore points on Windows? On Linux they are essentially free storage-wise if your distro uses Btrfs. Unfortunately, Mint used Ext4, an old file system that lacks SSD longevity features, has larger file sizes, and no native support for snapshots (aka system restore points). Mint instead achieves snapshots through a jerry-rigged, EXTREMELY inefficient method that fills up your entire drive.
>Cinnamon is FUNCTIONALLY outdated
Whether you like how Cinnamon looks doesn't change the fact it suffers from screen tearing, input lag, no fractional DPI scaling, and whole bunch of other crap that makes it unsuitable. This is largely because Cinnamon is still X11-only. Cinnamon's Wayland support has been pre-alpha for a long time and isn't improving any time soon, so don't wait on Cinnamon to catch up. If you want a Windows-esque UI that actually works, Plasma does the job far better WHILE using less RAM and CPU.
>>
>>106473861
>>106474268
Basically, Mint was hailed as user-friendly back when "user-friendly Linux distro" meant "holy shit, WiFi actually works on this thing!", but that only impresses Linux old-timers. The fact is, almost every popular distro now is user-friendly, and much more so than Mint. Other distros don't leave you wondering why your SSD is suddenly full. Other distros don't leave you troubleshooting your peripherals. Other distros don't make your computer slow because you've run out of memory.
Mint was considered good back when Linux was shit; but Linux has evolved into something fucking incredible whereas Mint is stuck in 2016.

I haven't had issues yet but this will be a big deal to me. Brave is an amazing browser and I gots to have it. But so far, no problems.
>EA
oh boy. I used to have Origin, then EA killed Origin to push the EA app and killed all my old licenses. Now I see EA goods as not worth it and will never forgive them. Sure, I only had $50 worth of games and a bunch of freebies, but the principle of it proved I can never trust you again.
I don't like modern competitive slop. Only online competitive games I play are Tekken and fighting games. I hate battle royals.
>Does it 'Just Work,' tho? No lol. but it's good enough.
Seems to be the consensus if you don't need to be on the bleeding edge or play the newest Multiplayer slop. May get into ricing one day but today aint that day and tomorrow aint looking like it either.

Thank you for an explaination.
Yeah those are pretty massive issues beyond just "look ugly"
Think I'll stay away from LinuxMint (unless they get some sort of massive update that fixes the kernal and zram)
Yeah Bazzite worked right out of the box and KDE plasma is like what a windows 11 should be. So I'm pretty comfy.

Honestly the stuff like Wifi, keyboards and GPUs not working is why I stayed away for so long. Seems like all of that is ironed out and more people are making the switch. Not quite the normie tier people, but somewhat tech literate normie tier people before unwashed masses flood the distros.

Google has decided to play hardball with Ublock Origin. I need adfree gooning or I'm going to get blueballs. Should I just compile it from the source and load it in developer mode? I have already messed with the flags, but it seems like Google is messing with that option too. I realized that in the time I have been searching for config options I could have just compiled it.
