hmm okay i dont really know anything about pop_os, but yeah it seems that it doesnt like it if you install stuff outside of its pre selected set of packages. my next GPU will definitely be an AMD one, nvidia is just a mess.

well good luck then i guess ๐Ÿซค

Have the same gpu and had same issue give me a second to find the solution again.

Now back at PC:

Right so i searched for a while back when i got those issues and the only solution that really worked for me was installing 550 instead. Idk how PopOS / ubuntu does things. So doing this could be easy or super fucking annoying.

depending on the repo you are using for the nvidia driver, you might be able to specify the driver version during install like so:

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-550

I am on debian12 and installing from repo didnt work for me as there were lots of dependencies that had version conflicts. I ended up installing it with the .run file which is really tedious.

Im gonna be honest tho the chance that this will fix your issue is not that high. Nvidia problems are so fucking diverse and could be due to any number of specific system component and package combinations.

I feel like its on purpose but i also feel like web designers are often incompetent with stuff like that. So im undecided.

Honestly in my experience all issues with decryption have been solved for more than a year. No matter if im using android, web or desktop. Idk about apple shit but thats just not a priority probably.

Todays desktop release finally enables the new voice/video calls/rooms feature which was the last serious complaint i had.

If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox

This is the hypothetical we are talking about. This is obviously not realistic so i dont know what your point is.

Nah it would make a big dent for sure.

Firefox has ~180 million users

Amount of users using adblockers is ~900 million.

It would massively change the market.

Numbers according to mozilla and statista

After email comes matrix. If you include all systems based on matrix, there are hundreds of millions of users already.

Yeah there was something there but its still in the right league at least. It might change the ranking slightly but it wont change that its at the low end.

comparable to RTX 30series

That sadly doesnt mean anything. That would range from 3050 to 3090 so its meaningless.

According to userbenchmarks, the more powerful desktop version of the RX 5500 is still weaker than a Nvidia 3050. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3050-vs-AMD-RX-5500/4127vs4059

So its pretty weak, comparable to a Nvidia 1060 roughly. Which is still fine for 2D games and most 3D games at low settings.

The CPU is a pretty good one, the GPU is on the weaker side. You can run plenty of games on it, but AAA games wont run very well. This thing isnt very old and AMD GPUs are well supported by linux drivers so there shouldnt be an issue there.

Just so odd how they went about the whole thing. Such an uncalculated way to do things.

Why not wait until you have all your explanations in order backed by lawyers before doing the release? Why did they shit on the carpet first and then explained their reasons afterwards after lots of horrible attempts at justifications that completely missed the point.

This is not about the removed maintainers. Its about this comment section.
