  • I see, had similar issues on my endeavourOS install where I switched the drivers after initial installation (i think it was still 550 or 560) with a 980

    But since I freshly installed endeavourOS, using the nvida boot option when i booted from the stick, on my new system containing a RTX 4000 Quadro and of course a newer mainboard, I have not stumbled on a miss behaving of the GPU other than once where it took a bit longer to wale from standby and tty outputing something GPU error for a short time.

    I must confess, I have not a lot time to game, but have now a 1h on cyberpunk and 1h beamNG through proton And weekly a meating using kmeet

    And of course information from my various YouTube channels featuring Linux news content



  • When I enroll a new device at work I have literally one day only to let it run through autopilot (hybrid setup) let all policies (GPO and MDM) trigger and install all the updates (windows and vantage (Lenovo))

    Ironically this still an improvement over the HP devices filled to the top with slop…

    But imagine giving such a device to a new coworker 😂 as MS intends you to do with autopilot (i set it up with my account and switch the primary after all updates are done)






  • PostmarkedOS is a bit frustrating as it makes you jumping through many hoops if you want to install anything not 100% FoSS (due to alpine base)

    I personally think arch and mobian are the best options right now, using the phosh UI (I like gnome-mobile as well, but it is not as mobile friendly as phosh)

    Now to the hardware part, you have basically two options:

    1. Use a phone where most drivers are in the mainline kernel, but with bad performance due to weak SoC (e.g. pine phone pro)
    2. Use a phone with strong(er) SoC but relay on custom kernel from the phone brand, locking you in place of the version of the kernel they modified (e.g. oneplus 6, I think)

    At least this is how I remember it

    When we come to App support; you mostly have to rely on webApps for proprietary services like train ticket, uber, etc.

    For massages, I would recommend a Matrix server and the various bridges to third party messaging services that exist for it (be aware that some services consider a connection via bridge as incompatible with their ToS and may block you)
