nvidia only very recently opened up their drivers to open source dev, so the open source drivers available right now are still based on reverse engineering and they don’t work super great. there are proprietary drivers from nvidia but they are not easy to install and configure and popos handles that for you on install.

sounds like your problem is likely a combo of trying bare arch and also an nvidia card. i’d recommend Pop!OS as i hear it’s the best out of the box experience for nvidia owners, and if you want to stay arch based i’d try EndeavourOS as it’s arguably the most mature and stable arch based distro today, it’s what i use but i also have amd not nvidia so i can’t speak for the nvidia experience for endeavour. maybe you want to wait a while before you try again just so you’re not burning out on the frustration, too. good luck!

being a free software advocate and worried about ‘fracturing’ seems at odds, bud. fracturing is an inherent perk of the system, imho.

obvious troll is obvious.

using llm ai for tech support is monumentally stupid lmao

there’s a lot of comorbidity (meaning sharing similar symptoms) between adhd and autism, so it’s more likely you’re noticing those adhd symptoms or are also autistic rather than something to do with your bipolar. “audhd” is commonly used by those who have been diagnosed both. also as the other commenter says, potential oxygen deprivation during birth has nothing to do with any of this, nor does natural birth mean likelihood of oxygen deprivation for that matter.

further, heroic games launcher isn’t just for epic and gog games, you can install any exe. i use it for the ea games launcher because the lutris script was broken at the time. and in the wine manager in hgl settings you can choose either wine-ge latest or proton-ge latest (or whatever number version) as your default layer, which you can also change per game/app if you have trouble.

edit: and also you can set it to add to steam so you can still just use steam as your main launcher, for example on steam deck or using a media center rig in big picture mode.

i just have it set to always on. there’s no reason you need the bluer light in the day and you get used to it. less eye strain is less eye strain.

ubi isn’t the poison pill, yang was that for ubi, and you swallowed it apparently. there has barely been any push for ubi, mostly just academic discussion, and it has had absolutely zero effect on amount of campaigning for min wage increase, so like, wut?

ubi is the way welfare should be because means testing kills and wastes money and everyone deserves that safety net. everyone. nevermind coming mass automation.

imho andrew yang’s whole purpose in politics was to be a dumbass awkward out of touch dickhead and spoil everything he promoted, mainly ubi. you fell for it.

it being legal and produced domestically would fix that.

according to those who have chronic pain and have used both, heroin is a much more reliable and safer to dose pain management tool than fentanyl. a lot of the dangers come from the illegality like dealers cutting with toxic chemicals to maximize profit and stigma keeping users alone and in the dark away from doctor supervision and advise.

of course it has plenty of abuse, but so does everything. the abuse could be much better managed if it weren’t a back alley secret joy and were instead a socially accepted and legal pain medication with education on the risk and standards for purity.

btw everyone should get some narcan, you could save a life some day.

everyone else has great responses but i want to address the snappiness of kde. it’s fairly common advice to disable file indexing, you can find it in the settings app. it can cause some desktop sluggishness and really isn’t necessary.

the difference between the lockdowns where there was understandably a drastic drop in crime to after lockdowns were lifted does not a trend make; it’s an externality, and the only rise i referenced. comparing pre lockdown to post lockdown there is a clear continued drop in crime overall. i referenced this lockdown ‘rise’ particularly because it’s what media and fascists have used to pursue greater police budgets and stricter laws and campaigning, and it is misleading at best to parrot their fear mongering over ‘rising crime’ especially without any data to back it up.

you’re the one asserting there’s def an established trend of rising crime and dismissing data that shows you wrong while still offering no data yourself.

where’s your data showing this trend of rising crime that has not stopped, bud? because everything i’ve seen shows less crime than before lockdown with only comparing to during lockdowns looking like any increase. they offered data, you offer none except the assumption that there def is a trend in rising crime.

maybe, i have amd.

for ref i used this: https://superuser.com/questions/1387935/hiding-virtual-machine-status-from-guest-operating-system

but i can’t seem to find any posts saying hiding vm doesn’t work with intel and multiple posts about hiding vm status with intel specific instructions on a quick ddg search so you might want to try again.

fyi you can play fortnite in a single gpu passthrough win10 vm on linux if you configure your vm to hide the hypervisor status.
