Just be sure to add only the people you want to be there. I’ve heard someone people add others and it’s a bit messy

I tried Fedora but since they removed support of x11 and nvidia doesn’t get along with wayland, I’m out of luck.

Was it hard to set it to always use the dedicated gpu?

Dual booting PopOS seems pretty rough though, with risks to the windows installation and bootloader

Oh, that’s good to know. So I can just install x11 on my Fedora no problem whatsoever?

Only shame is that they don’t recommend dual hooting with windows, which is a requirement for me

Thanks! I’m downloading nobara now, any tips to get it to work as expected?

I’ve done some more digging and indeed, the AMD integrated GPU is being used. Optimus seems like a good option, but then apparently I’d have to use x11 as the desktop renderer because Wayland doesn’t play nice with nvidia.

As far as I can see, x11 will be deprecated not too long from now?

Thanks for your answer! I had 535 installed on Debian 12 and 570 on Fedora 42. This is the result of fastfetch (neofetch is EOL). Let me know if you need any more info or if you think you have something that might help. Thanks!

Interesting, thanks! Do you happen to have a link to it?

It seems indeed the nvidia drivers disable wayland. I played around in Firefox settings a bit more and a setting around input delay seems to have fixed it for now. I hope it stays that way. If not, I’ll migrate to chromium

Smooth as butter on a chromium browser, which is nice but also annoying haha

It’s x11, when I check my desktop environments I only have gnome and gnome classic

I checked in about:support and Firefox is using x11, so maybe wayland isn’t installed

I don’t have experience with wayland yet, so I’ll need to check if it’s available on my installation. Do you now how I can run Firefox in wayland?

The drivers are the latest officially supported Debian ones, they should not be the main issue here. But I can give it a look, thanks!

This was just two weeks ago, and it’s a relatively old device, from 2014. It’s proprietary bullhonky all over that device unfortunately, from the screen brightness to the webcam to the bloody power button.

This was the result of much research, I’m not entirely new to the space. No one got these peripherals to work on that device, unfortunately.

I don’t understand what you mean by this isn’t an issue for most people. Most people do care about a webcam not working right. Or do jou mean my device isn’t representative? That could be, but it doesn’t mean people with this device have a good Linux experience if they install it.

I wanted to give new life to an old acer laptop/tablet hybrid. I installed Linux, but the webcam and microphone just won’t work no matter what. The power button also doesn’t work.

There’s still a long way to go before any casual user would accept this.

In the Netherlands, almost all houses have a thermostat. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have one

Thanks! Unfortunately my VPN is OpenVPN and doesn’t support Wireguard yet :(
