Dosen’t that depend on the type of bond between the atoms? Ions are created only if there is a ionic bond. Water has covalent bonds so it dosen’t create ions.

Yes PoP OS is going to update the driver in their repos to this versions. Unless you realy want the new driver just wait the few days/weeks it will take for it to arrive in the official repos

Proton 8 and up not working with Nvidia?

Hello! I’ve tried a bunch of games but they’re just not able to start on proton/wine/GE proton version 8 and up. If I switch back to proton 7 they’re working fine. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution. Also softwares that don’t require GPU work fine too with version 8.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Are you sure you are using the nvidia GPU? If your laptop has an iGPU i could be defaulting to running on that.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Not great. Instead of open sourcing the proprietary driver they made a seperate open source one. So there are currenty two seperate official kernel drivers:

  • A usable proprietary driver.
  • And a horrible open source driver.

Also all userspace drivers are all still proprietary.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Not if you do “/*”. The warning only appears if you try to remove “/”

There is uYou+ but its not on the appstore so its pretty much impossible to install

Bandicoot_Academic,

Maybe with windows. On linux i spent a solid few hours on it before giving up.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish (infosec.pub)

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....

Bandicoot_Academic,

I used to like his content and his videos got me into linux but i feel that his newer videos have a lot more politics compared to the older ones and i very much disagree with most of his political views i don’t realy watch him anymore

Bandicoot_Academic,

And then hang on 100% for hours before finaly crashing

YouTube is axing its ad-free Premium Lite subscription plan - The Verge (www.theverge.com)

I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each...

Bandicoot_Academic,

Some games with intrusive DRM or anticheat. Also VR is pretty bad

Bandicoot_Academic,

Android (or at least Samsung) also has this.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Are you sure your using the official (propriatary) drivers? Sometimes just installing the official drivers isn’t enough and you still might be using the nouvau drivers. Run lspci -v find your gpu and check whats listed as the Kernel driver in use.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Maybe check ProtonDB. You can usually find game specific issues and solutions. The page for Metro: Last Light Redux is here.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.

Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.

Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don’t trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)

Not exactly gaming, but related: nVidia control panel replacement?

nVidia graphics card and PoP! OS. My monitor has very inaccurate colors and I mitigate that on Windows with custom color profile + nVidia control panel tweaks to get better colors, gamma etc.; on PoP! I imported a custom color profile, but there’s only an nVidia X something and it doesn’t allow to change everything that I...

Bandicoot_Academic,

The Nvidia X Server Settings is quite limited but im pretty sure that it can do color correction, but i noticed that on Pop OS the app needs some extra tinkering to get all the options to show up.

Try running it from the terminal and see if any errors show up. I remember it threw some errors about keys or smth and because off that a lot of options would be missing (including color correction).

Bandicoot_Academic,

Looks like a bug in the bot caused it to not convert the youtube link into piped and instead just post the normal link. This caused it to reply to itself again posting the unmodified youtube link and replying recursivly.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Great idea. Trainning an AI model on twitter totaly didn’t go terribly wrong the last time it was tried. /s

Bandicoot_Academic,

What are the advantages of Wayland?

The big one is proper support for diffrent refresh rate monitors and VRR. Also some security improvment and long term support (X11 probably has only a few years before development stops).

What are the disadvantages?

Its still a little buggy in some cases (especialy when using Nvidia hardware) but with an AMD or Intel GPU its more then usable. Some apps don’t play nice with Xwayland but its pretty rare.

How’s gaming?

I haven’t encontered any major issues with games. Some games might need launch parameters but usualy you can just google it and find the answer very quickly. Performance its exactly the same as on X (maybe even slightly better)

What would be the best way to switch?

On your desktop with KDE you can just select “KDE (Wayland)” in your display manager and KDE should just run like normal but with Wayland. On you laptop you’d need to switch to a diffrent WM since i3 dosen’t support Wayland. Your best bet would probably be Sway since its compatible with i3 configurations.

Why have you made the switch?

I wanted to check out how well Wayland works and found that it works fine for me, and so i decided to move. Also X was giving me issues with screen tearing and multiple monitors.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Looks like seank got a new job at motorola

Bandicoot_Academic,

The only breakages i have encouterted were caused by nvidia (and there were a lot of those). If we exclude nvidia issues then i have had a very problem free expirience.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Not realy. Youtube for example uses stuff after the “?” to actualy specify the video you want.

Bandicoot_Academic,

ClearURLs is an extention to automaticly remove tracking elements.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Don’t forget about Madisons accusations

Bandicoot_Academic,

I’ve made a post on their meta community ( !wspolnota ), hopefully an admin will see it and will take care of the situation.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Take this with a grain of salt since im also not very fammiliar with the lemmy backend, but i think it would be like this:

If lemmy.world defederates from szmer.info all users from szmer (both spammers and normal users) would be able to see and comment on posts made on lemmy.world BUT those comments would only show up for other users on szmer.

For users on other instances (like lemm.ee) the situation would be the same as for users on lemmy.world .

Again im not an expert so this might be wrong (if it is feel free to correct me).

Bandicoot_Academic,

Yup. Just be careful the only real website is revanced.app and the github. All others are unofficial and can sometimes spread malware

Bandicoot_Academic,

To tag a community you have to do !community_name (you have to specify the instance the community is on)

Bandicoot_Academic,

If you need Adobe products i would recomend staying on windows. Unfortunetly geting anything Abobe to work is extremly hard, so unless you want to spend hours getting photoshop just for it to break on the next update then its probably not a good idea to switch. The other stuff you listed shoud work fine.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Unforlunetly LM isnt great with up to date software and OP wants a distro with up yo date stuff.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Username checks out

Bandicoot_Academic,

Like: advanced phisics engines - some of my favourite games are phisics sandboxes

Dislike: equipment durability - it rarely adds any difficultyand is most times an anoyence

Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Linux and FOSS. I have been using and installing distros on my own since I was 12. Now that I’m working in tech-related positions, after the Reddit migration happened, etc. I recovered my interest in all the Linux environment. I use Ubuntu as my main operating system in my Desktop, but I always end...

Bandicoot_Academic,

Troubleshooting for the average person is where it’s a bit harder.

I never undestood that point, i hear it quite a bit but for me its always the opposite. On linux if something dosen’t work i can usually see a detailed log of what went wrong. On windows its usually an error message with barly any info, stuff like “Error code: 0x72AF9B5D1” or “IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL” isn’t very usefull.

Bandicoot_Academic,

You are pretty lucky if you haven’t experienced any issues. For most people thogh spots are gonna be:

  1. Gaming. While a lot of games work perfectly a lot also don’t work (mainly if they have a kernel level anticheat rootkit)
  2. Nvidia. Do i have to say any more?
  3. Wifi. Often wifi cards just don’t work or work very poorly.
  4. Laptop specific features. Stuff like a MUX switch, ambient light sensors and fingerprint scanners very often have no drivers for linux.
Bandicoot_Academic,

Also a whistle capable of hacking phone lines.

Bandicoot_Academic,

Unfortunatly i don’t think thats gonna happen. Due to how flatpaks work things like drivers wouldn’t work without some serius workorounds.

Bandicoot_Academic,

And uYou+ for iOS.

XDA article generalize linux experience with the one of HoloISO (www.xda-developers.com)

I quote “But installing a secondary SSD required me to input some commands and change a text file (again, on Windows, it’s almost literally plug and play), and I had an absolutely awful time trying to configure an app called MangoHUD, which I use for benchmarking on the Steam Deck. It took me a couple of hours to get...

Bandicoot_Academic,

I think HoloISO is a project to make SteamOS a normal distro that you can install on anything.

Bandicoot_Academic,

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake

Bandicoot_Academic,

Revanced. Just be carefull google is full of fake downolads. The only real site is revanced.app or the github

Bandicoot_Academic,

I hear a lot about Windows backwards compatibilyty, but i don't think it has ever actualy worked for me. Every time i tried to install a program meant for anything older then win7/win10 i get some cryptic error and end up using a VM.

Bandicoot_Academic,

While i find Google Assistant better at finding music, it isn't open source and thus not what OP is looking for.
