Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

Only relevant if you have a 2000-series card or newer. Pascal and older cannot use it

It’s my first week on Linux/Bazzite/Fedora How do I get this installed? I need to fix the ridiculous amount of Firefox and Deadlock crashes.

In Bazzite, you should just need to open the Discover package manager and click "Refresh" and then "Update All" in the top right. Although these drivers don't appear to be available through the package manager yet; mine is still on version 560.31.02.

If your Firefox crashes are anything like mine were, it should be solved by opening up Flatseal and disabling Wayland rendering for Firefox. See the screenshot shown here: universal-blue.discourse.group…

When I first installed Bazzite on my Intel+Nvidia laptop, the Firefox crashes were constant. The workaround here fixed the issue for me.

Thanks. I changed those items in Flatseal and now the Firefox window is a visually garbled mess — very clearly broken like a bad video card. Got any workarounds for the workaround?

Ah, darn. Unfortunately I have no additional help to offer since that particular issue was fixed for me after changing those options in Flatseal.

I'd try running Firefox from the terminal to see what error message you're receiving when the crashes occur; the unique error message was what led me to this workaround when I was originally troubleshooting.

What a disappointment. The value of OSS should be obvious to all by now. We have too many people in power who don't know anything about the technology they regulate.
in reply to chebra

Interesting take. I don't know much about how grift works in the EU. Is there corporate lobbying similar to the USA?
in reply to some_guy

You know corruption is there somehow. Revolving doors, friends of friends, that kinda stuff is unavoidable. We can try to limit the effects, but it will never totally go away.

Isn't this why all the Foss licsenses waive all liability?

Why is GrapheneOS against GNU?


They say that GNU is spreading misinformation and "stop getting info from charlatans"?


They want you to use an OS which doesn't provide firmware updates and therefore doesn't protect you from serious known vulnerabilities. The firmware is still present when using an OS not updating it. Pretending as if the hardware and firmware isn't closed source by not updating the firmware simply harms users. They're a group known for having nonsensical, inconsistent beliefs and spreading misinformation/spin to promote them. Stop getting info from charlatans.

Messing with the computer is pretty important though
in reply to lunar_dust_222

Graphene is against GNU ideals getting in the way of security, because as it turns out, they do. FSF's definition of "ok" and "not ok" firmware blobs is bogus anyway.

Edit: for all the people who don't get this: THE FSF IS FUCKING OKAY WITH PROPRIETARY FIRMWARE BLOBS, but only if they are in a separate (usually user-inaccessible) storage chip and if you don't update it; they only deem that morally ok, yet it'd be the same as loading the blobs from the disk (which makes devices MUCH SAFER to update, you don't risk a brick). They get in the way of security by abusing the trust y'all give them, cuz thank god nobody who does embedded dev takes their opinions seriously anyway. Also, you're not giving up "A bit of security", you're giving up fucking microcode updates, the ones that patch well-known vulnerabilities that allow webpages to gain root access. FFS.

Health-threat ‘forever chemicals’ removed from water with 3D-printed ceramic ink


“Engineers have invented a new way to remove health-harming ‘forever chemicals’ from water – using 3D printing.

Researchers at the University of Bath say their method, using ceramic-infused lattices (or ‘monoliths’), removes at least 75% of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most common perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), from water, and could become an important tool in future efforts to eliminate the chemicals from water supplies.

Their findings were published this week in The Chemical Engineering Journal.”

[…]

“Testing of the monoliths has surprisingly shown they have become more effective under repeated use – they undergo high-temperature thermal ‘regeneration’ treatment after each use. This is something the researchers are keen to understand more fully with further experimentation.”

can we stop calling 3d printer filament "ink"? i sort of get it if it's a resin bath but this is clearly FDM printed, and in no fucking universe can you call filament "ink"
in reply to Swedneck

its probably not a filament, just like a vat of goop like you see in the concrete and chocolate printers

That's actually a pretty slick interface. It makes me wonder how many solid apps have been lost to obscurity.



Running Arch in chroot


I am using Debian for long time and really like it for stability. Recently I wondered if it is possible to run Arch Linux from chroot. I want to run full Wayland session from Arch.
I found Archbox project and it is worked for me, but I couldn't start any Wayland compositor from tty (Error: can't connect to Wayland socket . ). How can I properly do this? Or maybe there is a better way than chroot?
in reply to user_naa

Container is just a term for a set of isolation solutions bundled together.

Like file system isolation (chroot), network isolation, process isolation, device isolation...

One of them is ofc chroot, yes container use exactly the same chroot functionality.

So to answer your question, no, you don't need full isolated container. You can use only chroot.

You just need to pass all required devices ( and match the driver version running in kernel with your files in container and (avoid) more than one app having full unrestricted access to GPU as that would result in issues (but dont know the details so can't help you with that)).

This looks like it would be right up my alley, how can I get this onto my bazzite(ublue immutable) system?

in reply to Sips'

is it this one bazzite.gg/? Does it have .deb support? Because if so, you can install it easily because i release it with .deb and nix. If not, you can always compile it yourself using the docs here codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treed… Please make an issue in the repo if you have any suggestion on improving the docs.
in reply to tengkuizdihar

Jupp that's the one 😊 I'll have to do some digging as I'm not too sure myself. I'll update you om how it goes as I really want to try this out!
in reply to Sips'

I’d recommend checking out Distrobox, which allows you to create containers of other Linux distros then export their applications as if they were native. Install a distrobox with one of the distros that this program works with, use the terminal to install the program within it, then if it isn’t immediately in your applications menu use the distrobox export feature to place it there.

You could also layer Nix onto your bazzite image and install it that way, but if you don’t know Nix it’ll be complicated

Should one remove all Reddit posts and comments?


Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?

I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I'm considering doing the same.

However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?

*

in reply to Gamma

Fair enough. But a workaround that I have implemented before my previous “Reddit nuke” was saving all my most valuable answers and hosting them on my own website. What I would do now is just replacing all my comments with a link to my website: POSSE, Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. Well, almost POSSE, because I'd be removing the actual content from Reddit.

Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?


Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it's not easy as "Wayland support? Yes" (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it's not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used


Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

in reply to sramder

Honestly? Yeah. I agree. At the very least, a solid niche has been carved out, and it's growing. I like that.

I'd really like to see more governmental support, but.. ..so it goes.

Soon to be 4 months exclusively on Linux


in reply to Twitches

You're probably just lucky or you just don't run any weird HW combination that may cause issues. For me Fedora is the best and most stable distro with least issues. I never used any distro on which I had no issues and I don't believe there is such a distro anywhere. The issues usually just change to different ones when I switch.
in reply to WereCat

I'm not a saying I have none, but, I definitely don't have the issues I used to. I've been able to install a couple distros more recently with basically no problems. I'm also installing on laptops so that could be a difference, standard hardware configs. Also the equipment I install on is older equipment because I'm poor so I'm sure that is probably working in my favor.

And making heme is what they are proud of at impossible foods. impossiblefoods.com/heme

"Heme is what makes meat taste like meat. It’s an essential molecule found in every living plant and animal -- most abundantly in animals -- and something we’ve been eating and craving since the dawn of humanity. Here at Impossible Foods, our plant-based heme is made via fermentation of genetically engineered yeast, and safety-verified by America’s top food-safety experts and peer-reviewed academic journals. Watch more below."

in reply to BobTheDestroyer

This is another reason to favor Beyond over Impossible! Additionally, Beyond has always been gluten-free while Impossible made their recipe gluten-free years down the road.
