O thanks! I needed glxgears equivalent for Wayland at some point

If there anything related to amdgpu in output of sudo dmesg?

I’ve got the same gpu and never seen this

Maybe it’s playing a video in the background while on the menu? Then it could be a problem with codecs. Have you tried GE-Proton by any chance? It has media-foundation codecs builtin

My bet is it tries to default to mode that your display doesn’t like, probably because of some wrong info in monitor’s EDID downloaded from the connector, but that’s just my guess.

Before booting, use key e on grub menu, locate line where there is initrd to pass boot parameters. You can force modes using video= parameter, and you can also replace/modify your EDID. Refer to section # Forcing modes and EDID on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting

These changes can also be achieved permanently by editing /etc/default/grub and regenerating its configuration, in case you use grub.

Easiest would be to have separate extra monitor temporarily or another computer to connect over SSH, but if those low “safe” graphics modes work, that can probably do also.

Screw distros, just use Arch

Interesting! The UI looks like it uses GTK for drawing widgets?

See that, GoG? This can be done, it doesn’t hurt and there are already tools that can be used to build it without all too much effort.

Yes, DO AS I SAY!

Heroic Games Launcher supports GoG pretty well. You can install it with Flatpak using Discover in desktop mode.

When you login to GoG and install a game, you will be able to “Add it to Steam” (top-right hamburger menu in game’s view) and it should then be available in your “Non-steam games” in gaming mode.

Other options are Bottles and Lutris

Same as any other font. Add it to ~/.fonts or /usr/local/fonts. You might also have something like font browser already preinstalled, and usually there’s an Install button

Windows on external USB drive, disconnected after each use

Oh, the article is written by Jason Evanghelo. Of course, he’s a giant Linux shill working at Forbes :D

Still great to see such press

No surprises there, just the usual shit

No higher education, no certifications, just 10 years of experience on different IT job positions, raging from junior web dev to big DevOps projects.

In my experience (I’m in EU/PL) what matters most are actual technical skills and ability to demonstrate them on interview. I changed my job like 5 times and each time I aim for slightly more advanced work and slightly better revenue.

KVM + Qemu + libvirt + virt-manager = ❤️

It is actually easier and more friendly for more advanced and technical users. I switched to Arch from Ubuntu 12 years ago after dealing with yet another dependency hell and 3rd party repo breakage. I gave it a shot (which was easy as Arch had a tui installer back then) and was shocked how easy it is to get everything running the way I wanted it comparing to anything Debian-based.

Yeah, but it was so commonly used that it was also added to Wayland

Do other games run in general when using Vulkan API? (most modern games on Linux run with Vulkan, whether it’s Wine or native). What’s your NVIDIA driver version? Did you even install akmod-nvidia?

Why would display protocol matter here? Makes no sense to me.
