I've found that a lot of apps with touch gestures need Touchégg to work correctly, could be worth a shot to give it an install. I use a converted macbook, and for any gestures to work with the apple trackpad at all I have to have touchegg, my partner has it on her converted pixelbook go to make the trackpad not feel awful there too.

I'm too dumb to set up Wayland on Nvidia and honestly don't really care to. My laptop has an intel haswell-ult so it works with Wayland ootb and all the apps I use on it (literally just calibre, falkon, lapce), amd libreoffice Writer) work fine.

I was under the impression that RISCV was poorly supported, ARM has some (more) open platforms so I guess their RISC would be fine, and a significantly simpler undertaking than implementing x86.

If you have the time you could engineer a device that operates physical switches to represent bits, sort of like a curta calculator. Make it with enough bits available and engineer in an x86 compatible instruction set and hot damn you've got an electricity free computer, which (if you have the time) you can then manually set the storage bits into positions representative of your Linux filesystem with a minimal install. Figure out how you bootstrap the startup, perhaps engineer correct starting positions for the active bits (memory) such that you have an initramfs.

Can be done, technically you could do it with windows too I guess but boo close source software

How would I check that?

Edit: actually, Lemme just rtfm

Barely a week later and I had to do the thing. My partner uses LMDE and Nvidia 535 is the newest version in their repos, but we need nvidia 565+ for Kingdom Hearts 3.

Installing from the website wasn't as hard as I remember.

1. Blacklist Nouveau.
2. As root, without an X server running, run the nvidia*.run file from the website
3. Follow the prompts.
4. Verify your initramfs rebuilt correctly before rebooting.
5. Reboot and enjoy your actually current driver.
6. Bonus step, restore your Xorg.conf backup because you're on a multigpu laptop and you just borked the Xorg.conf with the installer so mesa doesn't end up loading and X ends up dead on summon

I was today years old when I realized I can install packages non-privelaged if I leverage ~/.local/

Installing Nvidia drivers from official repos provided by the maintainers of your distro? Easy as pie.

Installing Nvidia drivers from nvidia's website? Good luck my friend, I hope you know what you're doing.

OpenSuse sometime around '07

It didn't click, ended up moving to Ubuntu almost immediately. A few years later I moved to Fedora. Circa 2020 I dove into Archlinux and managed that for a couple years. Nowadays as I'm learning server stuff I've switched to Mint.

There is exactly one type of noob that should be using arch and that's the kind that has already built an Exocar or at least understands why somebody would.

Hi, 28 here, Roblox came out when I was in middle school, therefore this could be a whole ass Roblox adult, not a Roblox kid.
