Drivers are a one click install from the graphical app store. DO NOT install them manually from the nvidia website, and don't mess with kernels that your distro doesn't officially pack.

So, a first big issue people report with nvidia drivers is Screen tearing. I plugged my desktop's RTX 3070 into a basic 1080p monitor. That desktop uses X11, and tearing just isn't a thing here.

Now, if I launch a game to see how well things go, for example Darktide, with v sync off, we can clearly see some big tearing happening. With vsync on, it disappears.

If you still have tearing, you can auto start a command when your computer starts, with the following command line:

nvidia-settings --assign CurrentMetaMode="nvidia-auto-select +0+0 {ForceFullCompositionPipeline=On}"

Add that command to your startup applications, and you're done.

But how about multi monitor support? I plugged my laptop running Wayland, into the same external monitor, the basic 1080p one, using the hdmi port that's connected to the nvidia dedicated GPU.
Nothing to say here, it just works.

I also plugged in 2 displays onto my desktop, the 1080p one, and my usual 1440p ultrawide, straight into the RTX3070.

No problems here, both displays are detected immediately. Same experience with KDE Plasma, no issues to report here, multi monitor support works normally.

Now, another thing people tend to hold against nvidia drivers is the hybrid graphics support, as in you have a laptop with a dedicated GPU from Nvidia, and an AMD integrated chip, or an Intel one.

On Wayland, it seems that hybrid mode is the default, and the only mode you can use, I could not find a way to move it back to the intel GPU only, or Nvidia only. Hybrid mode works perfectly.

On X11, the experience is pretty much the same. Hybrid mode is the default, and you do get a bunch more options in the nvidia control panel.

Nvidia has the reputation of not working with Wayland, but that's not true anymore. Everything works as it would on a normal wayland session: touchpad gestures, no screen tearing, fractional scaling support, screen sharing and recording, and running any application. Same experience on KDE with Wayland, it just works.

On my laptop, closing the lid will suspend the laptop. But very regularly, opening the lid doesn't wake the laptop back up, and I get a black screen.

I can get out of it by just getting into a TTY, then moving back to TTY1, and I'm good, but it's not what I'd call a smooth experience.

On my desktop, running Fedora also but with X11, suspend works perfectly, and resuming also happens without any issues.

All my tests are done using the latest nvidia drivers available on Fedora 37 with GNOME, and on Ubuntu 22.10 with KDE 5.25, and all these devices have relatively recent Nvidia GPUs. So it's only 2 distros, 2 desktop environments, and 3 different cards from the same generation.

Support for older GPUs, like the RTX10 series, or older ones, might not be as good, and might require you to use older legacy drivers, which very probably won't support Wayland, and might have more issues.

The default look is completely different. First, the green accent color is gone. It's now a very usual blue. Gone are the colored folders, now they're your basic manilla yellow color, with a stripe on top of them to use your favorite accent color. Even window controls have changed icons.

You can still use the older themes, that they call "legacy".

That default look is also complimented by a new cursor theme called Bibata. Sounds received an update as well, and are now using Material design v2 sounds.

The second big change in Mint 21.1 is its Flatpak support. The update manager now supports flatpak applications and runtimes. Mint's Software Manager also gets the usual dropdown menu to let you pick between the flatpak package or the regular deb package from the repos. Mint uses Flathub by the way, so you should get everything you need from there.

It's really not perfect though, as searches will return multiple instances of the same application.

Another change is the way Mint handles drivers. First, the driver manager, the tool that lets you see if there ARE drivers you could install and install them, well that now runs in user mode, so you don't need to enter your password just to open the application. If you're offline, you'll also get a dedicated screen to let you know why the app is empty, and you can also now use USB drives to install drivers, for example if you plug in a live USB, Mint will be able to detect it, and offer to mount it so you can install drivers from that.

Cinnamon 5.6 comes with a new corner bar, which is another callback to window's default layout: it's a small vertical applet, stuck to the far right of the default panel. Hovering over it allows you to peek at the desktop by hiding all windows, complete with a blur effect if you want, but you can also click that corner bar with the left mouse button, or the middle mouse button, and configure what which click does, between either showing the desktop, showing the desklets, showing the workspace selector or showing the window selector.

In the context menu when right clicking on the desktop, you can also now directly access the display settings, and the default desktop icons were cleaned up, with the removal of the home folder, Computer, Trash, and Network.

Nemo, the file manager, also gets a few changes, like showing the dates in list view in a monospace font, improving the path bar, by letting you click on the current path to toggle the location URL bar, while navigating to a different folder will bring the path bar back.

Smaller changes include a search entry in the shortcuts settings so you can look at all the various shortcuts you might want to change, preferred applications are now featured by categories, you can configure the duration for which notifications will stay visible, the themes list is now sorted between dark and light themes, and current and legacy themes, and you also get window placement mode back in the window manager.

Oh and also, Mint won't bug you for your password as often as it once did. For example, uninstalling a flatpak app that you installed for your user and not the whole system won't require a passsword. Same goes for removing local shortcuts and local applications you only installed for yourself.

And Synaptic and the Update manager will also remember if you entered your password recently, so they won't ask for it for every single action.

#linux #tablet #fydetab

00:00 Intro
00:29 Sponsor: AlmaLinux & TuxCare support services
01:15 Hardware and Build Quality
04:33 Accessories: turn it into a Surface clone

The tablet is 12.3 inches, with a QHD display, at a resolution of 2560 by 1600, so 16:10. It's a heavy boy, at 750 grams, and 1.3kg when you attach the kickstand and the keyboard.

The FydeTab is powered by a RockChip 3588S8, which is an 8 core ARM CPU, with 4 performance cores, and 4 efficiency cores, running at 2.4Ghz and 1.8ghz respectively. It's coupled with a mali G610 GPU, which is also pretty decent, as we'll see in this video.

It has 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and 128Gigs of eMMC memory.

On top of that, you get a nice aluminium build, with a headphone jack, a USB C port that supports fast charging and displayport, and you get a slot for a micro SD card to expand the storage, and for a nanoSIM card if you want to use a cellular connection.

You also get wifi 6 and bluetooth 4.2. It embarks a 42Wh battery, and the battery life is definitely quite impressive, with 10 hours of youtube videos playing in a loop over wifi at 50% brightness.

You also get a power button, which doubles as a fingerprint scanner, and a volume rocker.

The FydeTab Duo comes with everything you need to turn it into a microsoft surface form factor: a magnetically attached back that has a kickstand, with some strong magnets, and a keyboard that uses pogo pins and charges off the tablet's battery. My review unit came in red, but there will be a gray option as well. Both have a felt like exterior, and a soft touch plastic face where it touches the tablet. The kickstand feels super sturdy, with a solid hinge, but I wish it could be angled more, so you could use the tablet more flat, for drawing or annotating.

You also get a stylus with it, which uses AAAA batteries, and also works really well, with a low latency. It's not on par with an apple pencil or a samsung s pen, but it's really not bad at all.

The FydeTab Duo runs FydeOS out of the box, which is a degoogled version of Chrome OS.

The Fyde account thing felt weird to me, especially when they asked me to use telegram to verify my phone number, instead of just sending an SMS, so I went for the local account.

It's much better than ChromeOS Flex, notably because it has Android app support baked in, with the ability to add Google apps in one click from their store, with full play store access.

Android apps ran pretty well for me, with decent performance, although there is an issue with video playback: anything that is supposed to play video, just won't. Other applications worked well, I installed Alto's Odysee to try out how a game would run, and it performed perfectly.

It can also run Linux apps in a container, that you can also install in one click from the developer options, and the performance there is also decent, although much lower than what you'd get on a native Linux install.

Of course, the real appeal of this thing, will be to run a full blown linux distro on it, and you can! The booloader is open, and you can download images for FydeOS, openFyde, the Android open source project, and Debian 11. I'd expect that if this device succeeds, more options will be available as well.

I went for Debian 11, and it runs pretty well! The experience feels alright, the keyboard, display, bluetooth and wifi, suspend and resume work, gpu acceleration does as well, and battery life isn't too shabby either, although it's worse than in the default FydeOS, lasting for 7 hours in a youtube playback test. The touchscreen doesn't work though, which is a bummer, and the default Debian image is in Chinese, and I couldn't figure out how to change the language, which made it reallllly hard to use. It's not a bad experience, although it's obviously early days.

Linux is known for being relatively lean and not using too much disk space, but compared to its first version, it's positively bloated. The first Linux release used only 65kilobytes of disk space. Today, a compiled kernel uses 5 to 10 megabytes, which is about 153 times heavier than the original release.

Linux was initially created as a Minix clone. The creator of Minix, Andrew Tanenbaum said, a few years later, that Linux was obsolete, and that GNU Hurd would supplant it soon enough.

oreilly.com/openbook/opensourc…

Linux has also been first to ever support the x86 64 bit architecture, and Linux was also the first to have USB 3.0 drivers added.

The Linux kernel was also initially released under a custom license created by Linus Torvalds, which imposed restrictions on commercial use of his project, and on redistributing it. Fortunately for all of use, this didn't last long, and with version 0.99 in 1992, the kernel moves to the GNU GPL.

web.archive.org/web/2007082621…

The Linux kernel is also the biggest software project in the world, with the biggest number of contributors and companies involved in its development.

The first name Torvalds landed on was Freax, for Free Unix. But as things happened, hosting that Freax kernel was initially done by Ari Lemmke, a member of the staff for Helsinki's university, and this person created a directory called Linux, because that was Torvalds's working name.

In terms of mascot, and the name of that mascot is Tux, not because penguins wear tuxedos naturally, but because it stands for Torvalds Unix. Why a penguin, though? It's because Torvalds was bitten by a penguin.

But the linux kernel also has codenames. For example, version 3.14 was called "shuffling zombie juror", version 4.3 was "blurry fish butt", and version 6.0 is "hurr durr I'm a ninja sloth".

handwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Linu…

But also, the Linux name was almost lost to a trademark dispute. In 1995, someone named William R. Della Croce Junior, the most evil sounding name I ever heard, filed for a trademark on Linux. He then proceeded to send letters to various Linux distributors asking for 10% royalties, as the ultimate one person patent troll.

Steve Jobs offered Torvalds a job around the year 2000, with a sizeable salary, and a good position in the organization. The pitch was "work on Unix for the biggest user base". The only condition was that he abandoned Linux and stopped working on it altogether.

theverge.com/2012/3/22/2893581…

But Torvalds isn't just the creator of the Linux kernel. He also created Git.

Linux is basically running the film industry and Hollywood. The first movie to use Linux was Titanic in 1997, rendered using OpenSUSE, but it didn't stop there. Avatar's effects were rendered on Linux server farms. lord of the Rings? Linux. I Robot? Linux.

Linux also runs the space industry. And also, in the supercomputer world, Linux is the ONLY option. Out of the fastest 500 supercomputers, Linux runs 100% of them, or at least it did in early 2023.

The Dev One is a device that targets developers. It's made out of aluminium, and the chassis is very rigid, with almost no deck flex at all.

The device itself has a wedge shape, and it's pretty thin, at less than 2cm at its thickest point. It weighs less than 1.5 kilograms, although it does feel relatively heavy and solid.

The screen is covered in glass, and so it's pretty reflective and susceptible to fingerprints. It's 14 inch, at 1920 by 1080, and it can go up to 1000 nits of brightness.

The bezels are relatively large for today's standards, but they're nothing to complain about, and the top one hosts a 720p webcam, with a privacy shutter included, which is cool, no need for duct tape or post it notes.

The webcam is your usual potato quality, it's not full HD, it's a bit grainy, and it doesn't handle lighting very well. The microphone isn't bad at all though.

Let's move on to the I/O. On the left side, you have your kensington lock, and 2 USB A ports that go up to 5 Gigabits per second, as well as the holy headphone jack.

On the right side, you have the port for the barrel charger included in the box, an HDMI 2.0 port, and 2 USB C 10 Gigabit per second that also support display port and charging.

The speakers are really good, and don't distort at all, even on max volume.

The keys feel solid, very stable, and actuate well, even the spacebar when you press it on the very side. They included a little nub as well. The touchpad appropriately has 2 buttons on top, so you can click while using the nub, but that unfortunately reduces the surface for touchpad users like me, an there is no clickable middle button. Still, that touchpad is really, really good.

In terms of internals, the Dev One only comes in one configuration: a Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage.

The CPU is 8 core, 16 threads, and has a base clock of 1.9Ghz, up to 4.4Ghz when boosting. It's a very, very powerful beast indeed, with a geekbench score of 1550 in singlecore and 7707 in multi core.

As per battery life, I left the laptop on a youtube loop with firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, and it lasted for 8h30 hours before shutting down. On a more typical workload, I used it to write scripts, using firefox and nextcloud notes, listening to music, with wifi on, a bluetooth mouse, and mid brightness, and it lasted for 7 hours.

Ok, let's move on to the software. The dev One runs popOS 22.04, and there's been a lot of work done by both teams on that front.

The integration goes up to the support as well: just like a System76 laptop, you can create a support ticket right from the settings, and HP has a dedicated support team for that device to ensure things run smoothly, with a process to pass on tickets to system76 if they're software related.

There are some kinks to the software, though: first you have to agree to a license agreement to use the device. Then, there's the analytics. It's completely opt-in and not enabled by default.

The Dev One can be purchased with 2 accessories. The Hp Wireless Creator Mouse, and the launch keyboard from System76.

The most infamous and unpopular entry in the Police Quest series is up on the chopping block. Ostensibly "designed" by former LAPD police chief Daryl F. Gates (but not really), this game is notorious all the wrong reasons.
