Can someone suggest a very stable, low-maintenance Linux distro that also won’t hold me back?
  • Debian 12 (bookworm):

    • Works without having to troubleshoot all the time - Check
    • Reliable - Check
    • Customize and install pretty much everything available - Half Check - Since the kernel is from 2022, you won't have the latest versions of some software (eg. KDE), and some features will not be available (eg. changing CPU operation mode)- Unless you develop applications for Linux, or need a specific feature, it shouldn't be a problem.
  • Linux 101 stuff. Questions are encouraged, noobs are welcome! @lemmy.world gyro @lemmy.world

    Hi! I'm looking for people who want to moderate this community. If you're interested, please contact me via the embedded form.

    Rules have not yet been defined for this !. Besides the ones determined by the Fair Use Policy, consider the following points as the philosophy of the moderation team:

    • Users should not be mocked because of (unknowingly) providing wrong information or asking seemingly obvious questions.
    • All posts must be: 1. related to Linux 2. a question, tutorial or advice.

    Remote Desktop DietPi - Windows 11?
  • First, install the OS. Then, install SSH and configure it. Watch a tutorial for it, it's not the simplest thing in the world. If you need not only terminal but also graphical access, then install and configure a VNC or RDP client, the tutorial is probably going to cover this though.

    If you just want to learn linux though, it makes more sense to install it on a virtual machine in your windows system, or even on a separate partition.

  • Can we limit Window Manager to load Intel iGPU only? (hotplug Nvidia without stopping SDDM/GDM)
  • Prime offload might be same thing? IDK

    It's the same thing. Prime offload is a tool made specifically for these optimus laptops (NVIDIA) and other switchable graphics systems (laptops with AMD GPUs)

    Unless you have a solid reason to use Wayland, I strongly recommend to use Xorg instead. It works better with switchable graphics, and I think that you will be able to offload your games with it without the need to restart SDDM. In your Arch system, follow the installation instructions for the optimus-manager. Since you're using SDDM instead of GDM, it should work without the need of any tweaks.

    I'm not sure if you're aware, but if you wish you can load the entire desktop environment with the dedicated GPU. It's more practical since you don't have to setup your games to be launched through the prime offload command. The caveat is that it uses more power, a downside if you use the laptop unplugged.

  • Can we limit Window Manager to load Intel iGPU only? (hotplug Nvidia without stopping SDDM/GDM)
  • Hotplug? So you're using an external GPU?

    In the case of laptops with integtrated graphics + nvidia graphics (soldered) (so called "optimus laptops"), you can configure the display manager to use 1. only the integrated graphics; 2. only the nvidia gpu; 3. both of them, loading the desktop environment with integrated graphics and offloading applications to the nvidia gpu. The tools to manage that vary across distros, for arch a good one is optimus-manager (package name), and for Fedora you can use Envy Control.

    Since you're presumably outputting the dedicated GPU video to the laptop's screen through pci-e, and not using the GPU video ports, maybe the optimus tools work for your case scenario (although I'm not entirely sure of that).

    Also, it could be a Wayland issue. Try doing the same thing with Xorg. I'm a Xorg user and never had to restart the DE/DM to update Nvidia drivers, but my laptop has a soldered Nvidia chip.

  • Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
  • that doesn't even necessarily mean that, the thing could have imploded after they tried signaling

    i don't normally like discussing on reddit because people are so fierce for no reason. seems this didn't change

  • Do you think the guys on the titanic submarine will be rescued?
  • The sound was periodic though. Every 30min interval. One of the guys in the sub is a former marine member. Some other guy from the same marine was interviewed and said this type of signaling, with 30m intervals, was something taught in said marine.

  • Are facial expressions universal?
  • the hypothesis that dogs learned some expressions to communicate better with humans makes sense, but some expressions like showing the teeth to express disapproval is present in various mammal populations
