Why does KUbuntu and Linux Mint have GUI for installing proprietary Nvidia drivers, but Fedora KDE doesn't? Solved: You have to go to the App Store settings and enable Nonfree nvidia drivers
@@lolitbairiganjan2940I don't think that replier understood that they meant a GUI installer. Discover on Fedora KDE probably will have it, and if not on Fedora KDE 41, then almost certainly it will be there in Fedora KDE 42 because in that release and onward, KDE will be a workstation-class edition equal to the GNOME edition.
@TheLinuxEXP Except for Arch or Gentoo, though if you're on those distros, you' probably understand how to use pacman or portage to get those drivers on the command-line. EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro, even has a tool to automate it with one command, however, it isn't capable of using nvidia-open yet (the Turing and later based open kernel modules).
My problem with using the flatpak version of Steam is there is not official Steam flatpak. Which is kind of crazy since Valve could just make their own flatpak repo for all their software to live.
The Steam Flatpak is pretty nice, at least generally. I've had some weird crashes lately but idk if the problem is in the Steam client itself or the Flatpak version.
@@nabara6949 If you mean the ID, anyone can use any ID. The only thing making an app truly legit is the verified mark on the flathub page (as only that indicates that the flathub maintainers verified that they are working with the official developers to create that flatpak).
They don't need their own flatpak remote for that, they can just use flathub. And I would be surprised if they wouldn't get approved to be excepted from the rule that all flatpaks must be created/compiles by the flathub servers, just as Mozilla and a few others already are.

I switched to Linux in march this year and I just have to say wow! The fast paced development that’s been happening for gaming is unbelievable. I have an Nvidia gpu and when I switched Wayland wasn’t even an option and dlss 3 was though to probably never arrive. Fast forward 8 months and here it is, my experience now with gaming on Linux is pretty much on par with windows, except using Linux fills me with infinite more joy.
Yeah, the development of gaming on Linux is incredible indeed! I've switched on mid 2021 and compared to nowadays it's a whole new world. For you to have an idea: games like Grid 2 and Civilization V (Windows version) didn't run, while other games like Sonic Racing Transformed and Imperiums: Greek Wars (among others) did run, but with several issues. Now all these games runs without any issues. Everything evolves SO FAST that I really hope that more and more people start seeing Linux as an alternative to Windows, especially now that Windows 10 support is coming to an end, and the upcoming Recall on Windows 11, which is a privacy nightmare.
@@Helios.vfx. I’m on CachyOs at the moment. Switched to it since it hade the latest Nvidia drivers earlier than other distros and had been working great so far.
While for code licensing the CLAs (Contributor License Agreements) are generally viewed as a way for company to keep doors open for screwing contributors over (by re-releasing the contributed code under a proprietary license), the case of Tuxedo Drivers it clearly shows that it can be very helpful too. If Tuxedo would have required signing over the copyright rights to the contributed code using a CLA, they would simply have the rights to re-license all of the code under GPLv2 without any problems.
Yeah, in that case, it would be helpful. And technically, companies even with a CLA cannot undo previous releases' four freedoms that were already under a copyleft license like the GPL; they can only block newer releases, like with the Hashicorp incident.
I moved away from the flatpak steam version because it had so many functionalities broken because of the sandbox and permission system. And although there were fixes for all of them I got annoyed and instead went for the native version, for complex software like steam I would love an easier way to manage the permissions.
That's one reason I use the Arch package on EndeavourOS. The other being the flatpak isn't offically supported by Valve, even though, well, it would greatly simplify the Steam client on Linux, rather than using a Deb package...
@@cameronbosch1213 but steam has to install games and launch them. If a flatpak app can write binaries and execute them outside the sandbox, the sandbox might as well not exist
Just want to give you a big thank you for making these videos Nick. They are really handy for people like me who just does not bother to read all of the Linux news on the web. I love putting these on while casually playing some random game. Great job!
For me, GPU virtualisation is the most pressing desktop feature. Immediately means we can have containers get their own CPU and run whatever platform is needed. Can play Apex and other on linux easily then as the Windows VM will have its own GPU and we can avoid all the junk spreading outside that vm/container. I’m using VM/container interchangeably because we may end up with a lighter weight, proton based “VM” that can run windows games without having to run a full windows install and kernel.
I know this is completely off-topic, but I feel like it would be interesting to cover opensuse again at some point in the future !. From what I remember they're going through changes recently, but how is that going ? I often heard of it as the "best rolling release" yet it's never talked about on channels like yours, this is very disorienting. With more and more atomic distros popping up, seeing a comparison of them and the technologies behind them would be very interesting, too.
I feel like whenever there's the qualification of just "best" on a distro, you cannot take it seriously. What does best mean ? Least crashes ? Most apps ? Latest apps/versions ? Fastest performance ? Easiest to use for newbies ? Easiest to use for power users ? Most customizable ? I think you got the idea. I would argue that Gentoo is the best rolling release, which I also use for almost an year. But I'm sure it won't be the best for many others who have different styles and needs.
Now I see why I get from 20 to 50% more fps on x11 when compared to Wayland. And if I go on dGPU mode only (so, not offloading from iGPU to Nvidia), it's even better. The whole situation is pretty disappointing to be honest, as if the situation will likely stay like this for a good amount of time and then fixed depending on the dxvk driver or whichever DE's settings.
It might also explain the laggy feeling I get on external monitor even on the desktop (while it's silky smooth on the laptop monitor) with the dozen Linux distributions I tried these last years. I now must try something with x11...
@johntoto5496 yes, it's a known situation, it works worse with external monitors. In general: Wayland might have the less bugs (much depends on the situation), x11 the best performance. If you have Ubuntu or opensuse, use sudo prime-select boot nvidia and reboot in order to use the full potential on both x11 and Wayland. On Mint, you have a graphical applet. On x11 is still faster for my experience.
I really want them to bring the Nvidia Super resolution upscaling for videos on browsers to linux. Would like the SDR to HDR feature too but nit as big if a deal. Besides that, not having frame generation also really sucks because currently not having that in Linux, basically gets rid of one of the biggest features of Nvidia 40 series GPUs. Would've just kept my 3090 Ti if I would've known I couldn't use any of the main features of Nvidia 40 series, in Linux.
The problem with developing flatpaks is that most of the time they require you to project your program in a way it can work on it. But most devs do not do devops. They compile the program generate build folder with it's libs, resources, and binary executables, compress it and ship. Turning that folder into a flatpak would be a dream, but they don't want to do that as I can see. PS: And good luck shipping java or python programs in it, as you'll need to send the interpreter with the program somehow.
"Your code sitting on GitLab isnt Open Source ENOUGH" this is such bull. All of us agree on the basics that FOSS is very important. Infighting of GPLv2 vs GPLv3 just makes the companies like Adobe and MSFT more powerful.
There is no fight, it is a legal issue and that's it, the gpl3 license is not compatible with the gpl2, so access to the gpl2 code is illegal. And no one can change this situation, and not intervening can become a big problem (complaints, loss of rights, lawsuits, etc.).
@giusdb legal issues only exist when they are brought to court. There is no real reason to have FOSS things blocked from accessing FOSS things because 2 =/= 3. Bringing it up? Asking for a change? Sure. Blocking access as first move? Sounds like nothing but a temper tantrum. The biggest issue in the world are people who waste energy on others who are aligned 95% with them already, and this feels more of the same
@redmage08 Legal problems exist even if ignored. And ignoring copyright and ownership issues can have serious consequences. The law doesn't care about your or other people's opinions and obsessions.
@@redmage08 You are creating unnecessary precedence cases that way, so if something ever has to go to court, you are setting yourself up to failure. The "issue" of the GPL licenses is that they are viral. So if GPLv3 code is being allowed to interact with GPLv2 code, that forces all GPLv2 code to become GPLv3, and this causes a lot of issues with lots of other licenses. Torvalds never adapted v3 for very good reasons, as it strictly prohibits any interactions with anything that's not already closed source. So not fighting off any GPLv3 would already make it illegal for the Kernel to load any closed source firmware, not to mention closed source drivers distributed as dkms modules, like the old proprietary Nvidia drivers or pretty much any driver used for Android devices. This could very well piss off the companies that are right now (barely) willing to contribute to Linux and they will just stop and have all their work being dropped from the Kernel, as they don't want anyone to become able to sue them into open sourcing their stuff. So effectively, GPLv3 would throw Linux back several decades and make it virtually unusable for at least 99 % of its users.
i completely forgot SLI existed. brings back memories of watching tech youtubers have 2 1080's in sli and basing the build around it as the main focus.

Things I learned in today's Linux News : 1. There needs to be a centralized platform and conventional structures and set of rules/protocols to address the issue of differing points and authorisations within different Licences, 2. Universal bug reporting. Linux being so flexible that it gave so many varieties, is a pain to already working devs and intimidating for windows devs.
for dlss, what you say about using a lesser GPU and be able to have the same performance, it's what it's should be indeed, but the truth is... that just give game dev the opportunity to not optimize their game, and then you gain nothing in perf because even with a 4090 you can't play without activating DLSS...
Frame gen also needs a powerful GPU to be decent. Testing seems to show that in order to run it comfortably you need 60+ fps to start with otherwise the smearing and artifacts are just bad. That might change long term but game devs are always going to push performance (or not optimize).
this is a big issue, a few of my games already do not perform well on linux (looking at ARK evolved specifically) adding this feature seems like a double edged sword. yeah i'll admit ark ran like pure ass when i was on windows too, but its a lot worse on linux sadly

When I get enough money I will be really happy to get a AMD GPU and stop dealing with bull problems with NVIDIA. Windows VM can go ahead and accumulate the problematic NVIDIA experience.
13:15 improvements to DXVK are awesome but what you said there is a little bit misleading I think. It is true that not EVERY PC out there has hardware with native DX12 support (even though the API is a decade old) but Vulkan and DX12 are both very similar low level APIs and I am not aware of any desktop hardware that has Vulkan support but not DX12 because Vulkan came almost a year later than DX12

I installed Fedora 41 to test and now using it on my personal computer after using Mint for many years. Flatpak support by default has made it more desirable and it works smoother than Mint. Now, My next step is to buy the total AMD system: no Nvidia and total un-Intel. Question: Why Flatpaked apps take more space on Linux Mint than on any other know Linux distros?
Probably because they have to repackage multiple runtimes including KDE, GNOME, and FreeDesktop runtimes. And that's for each version (such as Qt 6.6, 6.7, 5.15, etc.).
Yeah i have hybrid laptop and i was wodnering what the hell is going on i turn on nvidea only but all of the distros dont support they instead just enable the both gpus it sux it doesnt fully work .
One correction: Fragmentation is not unique to old Windows file systems. It is a situation with every storage system, including physical shelves. Edit: Well, has been with my physical shelves, anywho.
Only if they aren't organized. Fragmentation is much more of a computer issue because it's much more efficient to just reference blocks instead of organizing everything. A human, however, is not going to have a good time seeing a giant directory of seemingly random books that are sorted by nothing except the date they were first put in the shelf.
Good that Ubuntu is going to work on better dual booting. When I updated 24.04 to 24.10 it broke Windows boot so bad that I couldn't fix it in any way and had to do a reinstall(
I'm honestly less concerned with fullscreen mux switching and looking forward to dynamix mux switching (AMD calls it smart access graphics, no idea what nvidia calls it, but most modern laptops support it in windows for all dgpu's pretty effortlessly). I know nvidia has given talks on this as well, though I've not seen an update recently on whether or not any progress has been made towards support in linux.
It would be great if they would let us manually change the wattage limit again. It already had safety protections, you couldn't put it higher than what the GPU is rated for.
The fact that Ubuntu is hopping on the immutable train but with snaps is so mind boggling. They've really doubled down on the whole snap thing. I hope they're playing 4D chess and that snaps actually pan out as being a useful technology for one reason or another because otherwise I just still don't get it. Edit: I should add I'm not anti-snap or anti-ubuntu. If I used Ubuntu I would use snaps. I just don't know why they're pushing them so heavily.
The problems are as follows with Snaps: 1. We already have a solution for graphical app redistribution: Flatpaks. Instead of contributing to the community option, Canonical is dividing the user base again, and no other distro apart from Ubuntu and its official flavors use it, not just for the reasons I'm mentioning, but because to get a proper sandbox, it requires systemd and special AppArmor modules. That's why Solus dropped Snaps in favor of Flatpaks starting in 2025. (I do understand snaps for command-line applications, but that's really where they should stick to.) 2. Nobody can use Canonical's Snap backend because while the majority of the Snap services are under the GPLv3, Canonical's backend is under a propietary license. On the other hand, flatpaks are completely under the LGPLv2.1 and later and anybody can create a flatpak repository; Flatpak redistribution is not just limited to Flathub. 3. Canonical replacing APT packages with Snap packages caused Linux Mint to remove snapd from Linux Mint 20 and later. (As well as the second reason that I mentioned.) In fact, so do Tuxedo OS, POP!_OS, and Elementary OS in favor of Flatpaks (KDE Neon has both, but nobody apart from KDE developers should use it.). In response, Canonical forbade official Ubuntu flavors from installing Flatpak support out of the box, which is not a very good user experience and quite user hostile. 4. Snaps are still way behind Flatpaks in many ways, not just speed and sandboxing, especially on non Ubuntu distros.

They work like flatpaks, except they also work very well for servers. Which is what they were intended for in the beginning. I guess they just want to make Ubuntu server and Ubuntu Desktop as similar as possible so they are pushing snap. If they made an app like flatseal, but for snaps, it wouldn't be so bad to use them.

Hey @TheLinuxEXP! Thanks for the awesome content :) I'm curious, what's your opinion on ThinkPad laptops for Linux? I've had some very pleasant experiences and wondered if you've ever delved into the ThinkPad world :)
Hopefully that nvidia Roadmap also helps with external GPUs... Because as it is now I can't use my external GPU with Wayland because of graphic fragments flickering all across the screen.. Only works on x11 which is very annoying
15:30 He? What? Have you looked at the list? Just to cite what you said again: "driver versions, window manager choices, extensive user customization" Libraries weren't mentioned (including in the blog). Where does this come from? If libraries would have been mentioned, ok, but they weren't. I am baffled.
The question I have now is, does AMD's FSR Framegeneration work too? Not everyone has or want an Nvidia GPU and AMD's Framegeneration is better anyways.
I can't believe kernel developpers try to slow down small linux PC company like Tuxedo , They should help them to push linux forward , or maybe there is some people wanting linux vendors to fail ?
about 3 months on linux, started on ubuntu 24.04 and then went to endeavour os. i'd say that gaming in linux through steam is easier than on windows right now lol whatever valve is doing is working. the bluetooth on my endevouros just works better than when was on windows. i'm discovering a lot of new apps like skrooge or YAC Reader and i feel that the computer wants me to use it for _personal use_ you know. windows is bloated and nothing works...
I kinda hate how Wayland doesn't have parity and we pretty much gave up on it being attainable. I still use x11 daily, and I can't see myself moving to Wayland in the near future, for so many reasons.
Huh. I could never see myself using XOrg again because of multi monitor limitations under X11. I have a multi monitor setup that would fall apart under XOrg, while Wayland (at least on KDE Plasma 6.1 and later) handles it no problem. What are you still missing under Wayland?
@cameronbosch1213 many things, like unable to have button mapping outside of apps (except for KDE who made it work somehow), some window scaling issues, still "some" issues with Nvidia graphics card (though I'm happy this is being worked on), some games not running well with it, it doesn't remember where windows were so I always have to place them where they go again manually, etc. I have 2 monitors and right now it works perfectly, thankfully.
@@DarkcoffeeGodot The button mapping issue is purely a GNOME thing that they seem to go down with the ship with not fixing; don't use GNOME. KDE & COSMIC, as well as all other compositors apart from GNOME's Mutter do support this, so it literally is just GNOME. Window scaling has been much better in my experience on Wayland; on XOrg, it's a nightmare. Unfortunately, Nvidia GPUs still have some flickering im my experience even on KDE Plasma 6.2.3 on my Arch Linux desktop. That I can understand. As for games not working under Wayland, that also might be an Nvidia thing. If it works for you, then don't sweat it for now, but things will slowly stop working in a few years, so I hope Nvidia fixes their 💩 soon!
Should I use Proton Experimental or Proton GE? I don’t care about higher fps cuz I lock all games on 60fps! I only care about frametimes and smooth gameplay and less stutter.
It depends on the game. If it doesn't work on a stable version of Proton, try Proton Experimental. If it doesn't work on Proton Experimental, try Proton Hotfix. If it doesn't work on Proton Hotfix OR you want FSR support in nearly any full screen game (FSR 1.0 unfortunately, but some slightly older games only support DLSS, which is Nvidia RTX only, so it's better than nothing), then use Proton GE. For example, Persona 5 Strikers requires libraries only included in Proton GE (at least according to SteamDeckHQ), or otherwise cutscenes won't play properly. And there are some games that need ProtonTricks to add dependencies that Valve cannot legally redistribute to a game's Proton prefix (I know of at least one).
FG is not very good for making low frame rates better, because the added latency on top of the already high latency makes for a terrible experience. What’s good for is to fill the gap between your FPS capabilities and your high refresh rate monitor. Example: your system can run the game at 90FPS and your monitor is 120Hz. FG can give you that boost to experience your monitor max refresh rate fully. Using FG for getting 60FPS from 30 is not going to be a very enjoyable experience. Of course this is a general rule of thumb. Your mileage may vary. Cheers.
uh no flatpak doesn't solve the differences between driver versions, window management choices, or distribution differences you're overshilling it flatpaks don't ship with their own mesa and their own window manager, nick
I always love your videos, but Tuxedo sucks, at least as an OS. I recall installing it on my PC and Dolphin would crash every time I open it. Worst KDE distro I have ever used. Please show us more Arch stuff
So fun thing. I have a gaming desktop that runs an intel i7-9700k and an RTX 3060 and using Linux (Nobara and Tuxedo) the graphics performance mainly jittering/lag is worse then when i use a Trigkey mini PC that has a Ryzen 7 5700U, 8 core 1900MHz HD graphics... After seeing how a mini pc out performs my gaming desktop, i'm already ordering a new motherboard, AMD CPU and graphics card. Clearly Nvidia is just horrible still for linux.
Funny hearing "Enforce the flatpak" when the vast majority of Linux users are on ubuntu. Besides, isn't enforcing package managers kind of against the spirit of Linux?
Linux users superiority complex is one of the biggest reason which is holding Linux back. Linux TV made a good video on it some days ago. Calling those drivers proprietary is indeed exaggerated and stupid i would say. Tuxedo sadly have to play nice as they're in a position where they have responsibilities.
Why though? AMD & Intel have good FOSS drivers for many years now (especially Intel, AMD is a bit newer at that once they bought out ATI, before that, ATI GPU drivers on Linux were Nvidia GPU drivers are now, as in, very bad). It's literally just Nvidia now (and Broadcom, but no new PC hardware uses them, apart from Macs).
@@cameronbosch1213One man here, this time. But it's constant. Linux has some very toxic people in our community. Don't get me wrong, we're mostly intelligent, sharing, and helpful people. But our trolls are very loud, very annoying, and very desperate to be heard and seen.

For you to have an idea: games like Grid 2 and Civilization V (Windows version) didn't run, while other games like Sonic Racing Transformed and Imperiums: Greek Wars (among others) did run, but with several issues. Now all these games runs without any issues. Everything evolves SO FAST that I really hope that more and more people start seeing Linux as an alternative to Windows, especially now that Windows 10 support is coming to an end, and the upcoming Recall on Windows 11, which is a privacy nightmare.
Which distro are you using ?
@@Helios.vfx. I’m on CachyOs at the moment. Switched to it since it hade the latest Nvidia drivers earlier than other distros and had been working great so far.
@@Majso I'm on fedora. Can't game much atm with this old 960m but once I'd get a better PC. I'll try this distro and Archcraft
I wouldn't say using Linux gave me joy, but it removed all the frustration I had with Windows.
While for code licensing the CLAs (Contributor License Agreements) are generally viewed as a way for company to keep doors open for screwing contributors over (by re-releasing the contributed code under a proprietary license), the case of Tuxedo Drivers it clearly shows that it can be very helpful too.
If Tuxedo would have required signing over the copyright rights to the contributed code using a CLA, they would simply have the rights to re-license all of the code under GPLv2 without any problems.
Yeah, in that case, it would be helpful. And technically, companies even with a CLA cannot undo previous releases' four freedoms that were already under a copyleft license like the GPL; they can only block newer releases, like with the Hashicorp incident.
I moved away from the flatpak steam version because it had so many functionalities broken because of the sandbox and permission system. And although there were fixes for all of them I got annoyed and instead went for the native version, for complex software like steam I would love an easier way to manage the permissions.
That's one reason I use the Arch package on EndeavourOS. The other being the flatpak isn't offically supported by Valve, even though, well, it would greatly simplify the Steam client on Linux, rather than using a Deb package...
How does it even work at all?... Does this mean that all games are run in the same Steam sandbox?
@@NJ-wb1cz Not afaik.
@@cameronbosch1213 but steam has to install games and launch them. If a flatpak app can write binaries and execute them outside the sandbox, the sandbox might as well not exist
I really wish the Flatpak version could access the application list, but alas, I came back to the native version.
Just want to give you a big thank you for making these videos Nick. They are really handy for people like me who just does not bother to read all of the Linux news on the web.
I love putting these on while casually playing some random game. Great job!
For me, GPU virtualisation is the most pressing desktop feature. Immediately means we can have containers get their own CPU and run whatever platform is needed. Can play Apex and other on linux easily then as the Windows VM will have its own GPU and we can avoid all the junk spreading outside that vm/container.
I’m using VM/container interchangeably because we may end up with a lighter weight, proton based “VM” that can run windows games without having to run a full windows install and kernel.
Dont you need a GPU that supports virtualization?
I know this is completely off-topic, but I feel like it would be interesting to cover opensuse again at some point in the future !.
From what I remember they're going through changes recently, but how is that going ?
I often heard of it as the "best rolling release" yet it's never talked about on channels like yours, this is very disorienting.
With more and more atomic distros popping up, seeing a comparison of them and the technologies behind them would be very interesting, too.
Yes please I second this!
I feel like whenever there's the qualification of just "best" on a distro, you cannot take it seriously. What does best mean ? Least crashes ? Most apps ? Latest apps/versions ? Fastest performance ? Easiest to use for newbies ? Easiest to use for power users ? Most customizable ?
I think you got the idea. I would argue that Gentoo is the best rolling release, which I also use for almost an year. But I'm sure it won't be the best for many others who have different styles and needs.
big improvements from nvidia and the gaming space on linux, let's goo 💪🏻
Now I see why I get from 20 to 50% more fps on x11 when compared to Wayland. And if I go on dGPU mode only (so, not offloading from iGPU to Nvidia), it's even better.
The whole situation is pretty disappointing to be honest, as if the situation will likely stay like this for a good amount of time and then fixed depending on the dxvk driver or whichever DE's settings.
It might also explain the laggy feeling I get on external monitor even on the desktop (while it's silky smooth on the laptop monitor) with the dozen Linux distributions I tried these last years. I now must try something with x11...
@johntoto5496 yes, it's a known situation, it works worse with external monitors. In general: Wayland might have the less bugs (much depends on the situation), x11 the best performance. If you have Ubuntu or opensuse, use sudo prime-select boot nvidia and reboot in order to use the full potential on both x11 and Wayland. On Mint, you have a graphical applet. On x11 is still faster for my experience.
I really want them to bring the Nvidia Super resolution upscaling for videos on browsers to linux. Would like the SDR to HDR feature too but nit as big if a deal. Besides that, not having frame generation also really sucks because currently not having that in Linux, basically gets rid of one of the biggest features of Nvidia 40 series GPUs. Would've just kept my 3090 Ti if I would've known I couldn't use any of the main features of Nvidia 40 series, in Linux.
The problem with developing flatpaks is that most of the time they require you to project your program in a way it can work on it. But most devs do not do devops. They compile the program generate build folder with it's libs, resources, and binary executables, compress it and ship.
Turning that folder into a flatpak would be a dream, but they don't want to do that as I can see.
PS: And good luck shipping java or python programs in it, as you'll need to send the interpreter with the program somehow.
Flatpak has both Java and Python runtimes...
@mgord9518 You can't match them with a de runtime that easily

"Your code sitting on GitLab isnt Open Source ENOUGH" this is such bull. All of us agree on the basics that FOSS is very important. Infighting of GPLv2 vs GPLv3 just makes the companies like Adobe and MSFT more powerful.
There is no fight, it is a legal issue and that's it, the gpl3 license is not compatible with the gpl2, so access to the gpl2 code is illegal.
And no one can change this situation, and not intervening can become a big problem (complaints, loss of rights, lawsuits, etc.).
@giusdb legal issues only exist when they are brought to court. There is no real reason to have FOSS things blocked from accessing FOSS things because 2 =/= 3. Bringing it up? Asking for a change? Sure. Blocking access as first move? Sounds like nothing but a temper tantrum. The biggest issue in the world are people who waste energy on others who are aligned 95% with them already, and this feels more of the same
@redmage08 Legal problems exist even if ignored.
And ignoring copyright and ownership issues can have serious consequences.
The law doesn't care about your or other people's opinions and obsessions.
@giusdb what consequences? brought in what way? Served by who?
@@redmage08 You are creating unnecessary precedence cases that way, so if something ever has to go to court, you are setting yourself up to failure. The "issue" of the GPL licenses is that they are viral. So if GPLv3 code is being allowed to interact with GPLv2 code, that forces all GPLv2 code to become GPLv3, and this causes a lot of issues with lots of other licenses. Torvalds never adapted v3 for very good reasons, as it strictly prohibits any interactions with anything that's not already closed source. So not fighting off any GPLv3 would already make it illegal for the Kernel to load any closed source firmware, not to mention closed source drivers distributed as dkms modules, like the old proprietary Nvidia drivers or pretty much any driver used for Android devices. This could very well piss off the companies that are right now (barely) willing to contribute to Linux and they will just stop and have all their work being dropped from the Kernel, as they don't want anyone to become able to sue them into open sourcing their stuff. So effectively, GPLv3 would throw Linux back several decades and make it virtually unusable for at least 99 % of its users.
i completely forgot SLI existed. brings back memories of watching tech youtubers have 2 1080's in sli and basing the build around it as the main focus.

@@RafaCoringaProducoes Is it bad that I read it in his voice ?
Things I learned in today's Linux News :
1. There needs to be a centralized platform and conventional structures and set of rules/protocols to address the issue of differing points and authorisations within different Licences,
2. Universal bug reporting. Linux being so flexible that it gave so many varieties, is a pain to already working devs and intimidating for windows devs.
Linux union?
@avidwriter2882 idk. Is that what unions do ?
Thanks for the News!
Nick is a Linux Chad, I hope when I'm older, I will be like him!
MPL is my favorite license for avoiding any issues between permissive and restrictive copyleft code.
for dlss, what you say about using a lesser GPU and be able to have the same performance, it's what it's should be indeed, but the truth is... that just give game dev the opportunity to not optimize their game, and then you gain nothing in perf because even with a 4090 you can't play without activating DLSS...
There’s also that, yeah :/
Frame gen also needs a powerful GPU to be decent. Testing seems to show that in order to run it comfortably you need 60+ fps to start with otherwise the smearing and artifacts are just bad.
That might change long term but game devs are always going to push performance (or not optimize).
this is a big issue, a few of my games already do not perform well on linux (looking at ARK evolved specifically) adding this feature seems like a double edged sword.
yeah i'll admit ark ran like pure ass when i was on windows too, but its a lot worse on linux sadly

You need fprintd. Sadly, if the drivers aren't FOSS, then an implementation needs to be reverse engineered; good luck getting that done.

@@unknown-cd2ch Unfortunately, depending on the fingerprint sensor, there might not be anything you can do. My Framework Laptop has one working on Linux no problem.

I have a setup here for Hybrid Graphics on Tuxedo OS 4, i have a PC, not a notebook, a PC with Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 2060, and maybe the issues you related with Vulkan and Dual GPU happen here, because i have some stupid issues i cant solve here, i did some workarounds but still happening, i've compiled wayland, mangohud with mangoapp, gamescope from scratch here, now i'm on wayland 1.23, gamescope 3.15.11 and MangoHud latest version released 0.7.2 but with mangoapp for gamescope, still it works bad with WINE-GE 8.26, cant solve the dual gpu issues there.
Are these DXVK updates already implemented in Proton Experimental?
Been using Linux Mint more and more with gaming thanks to Proton.
Only problem is that Wayland sucks on my 4070ti right now, and Plasma X11 doesn't have fractional scaling. I got a 4k monitor and a 4:3 1280x1024 secondary dell one.
When I get enough money I will be really happy to get a AMD GPU and stop dealing with bull problems with NVIDIA. Windows VM can go ahead and accumulate the problematic NVIDIA experience.
13:15 improvements to DXVK are awesome but what you said there is a little bit misleading I think. It is true that not EVERY PC out there has hardware with native DX12 support (even though the API is a decade old) but Vulkan and DX12 are both very similar low level APIs and I am not aware of any desktop hardware that has Vulkan support but not DX12 because Vulkan came almost a year later than DX12

I installed Fedora 41 to test and now using it on my personal computer after using Mint for many years. Flatpak support by default has made it more desirable and it works smoother than Mint. Now, My next step is to buy the total AMD system: no Nvidia and total un-Intel.
Question: Why Flatpaked apps take more space on Linux Mint than on any other know Linux distros?
Probably because they have to repackage multiple runtimes including KDE, GNOME, and FreeDesktop runtimes. And that's for each version (such as Qt 6.6, 6.7, 5.15, etc.).
Yeah i have hybrid laptop and i was wodnering what the hell is going on i turn on nvidea only but all of the distros dont support they instead just enable the both gpus it sux it doesnt fully work .
One correction: Fragmentation is not unique to old Windows file systems. It is a situation with every storage system, including physical shelves.
Edit: Well, has been with my physical shelves, anywho.
Only if they aren't organized. Fragmentation is much more of a computer issue because it's much more efficient to just reference blocks instead of organizing everything.
A human, however, is not going to have a good time seeing a giant directory of seemingly random books that are sorted by nothing except the date they were first put in the shelf.
Good that Ubuntu is going to work on better dual booting. When I updated 24.04 to 24.10 it broke Windows boot so bad that I couldn't fix it in any way and had to do a reinstall(
Will NVidia fix performance issues on a muxless laptop with external displays on wayland?
I'm honestly less concerned with fullscreen mux switching and looking forward to dynamix mux switching (AMD calls it smart access graphics, no idea what nvidia calls it, but most modern laptops support it in windows for all dgpu's pretty effortlessly). I know nvidia has given talks on this as well, though I've not seen an update recently on whether or not any progress has been made towards support in linux.
It would be great if they would let us manually change the wattage limit again. It already had safety protections, you couldn't put it higher than what the GPU is rated for.
super cool roadmap!!!
The fact that Ubuntu is hopping on the immutable train but with snaps is so mind boggling. They've really doubled down on the whole snap thing.
I hope they're playing 4D chess and that snaps actually pan out as being a useful technology for one reason or another because otherwise I just still don't get it.
Edit: I should add I'm not anti-snap or anti-ubuntu. If I used Ubuntu I would use snaps. I just don't know why they're pushing them so heavily.
The problems are as follows with Snaps:
1. We already have a solution for graphical app redistribution: Flatpaks. Instead of contributing to the community option, Canonical is dividing the user base again, and no other distro apart from Ubuntu and its official flavors use it, not just for the reasons I'm mentioning, but because to get a proper sandbox, it requires systemd and special AppArmor modules. That's why Solus dropped Snaps in favor of Flatpaks starting in 2025. (I do understand snaps for command-line applications, but that's really where they should stick to.)
2. Nobody can use Canonical's Snap backend because while the majority of the Snap services are under the GPLv3, Canonical's backend is under a propietary license. On the other hand, flatpaks are completely under the LGPLv2.1 and later and anybody can create a flatpak repository; Flatpak redistribution is not just limited to Flathub.
3. Canonical replacing APT packages with Snap packages caused Linux Mint to remove snapd from Linux Mint 20 and later. (As well as the second reason that I mentioned.) In fact, so do Tuxedo OS, POP!_OS, and Elementary OS in favor of Flatpaks (KDE Neon has both, but nobody apart from KDE developers should use it.). In response, Canonical forbade official Ubuntu flavors from installing Flatpak support out of the box, which is not a very good user experience and quite user hostile.
4. Snaps are still way behind Flatpaks in many ways, not just speed and sandboxing, especially on non Ubuntu distros.

They work like flatpaks, except they also work very well for servers. Which is what they were intended for in the beginning. I guess they just want to make Ubuntu server and Ubuntu Desktop as similar as possible so they are pushing snap. If they made an app like flatseal, but for snaps, it wouldn't be so bad to use them.

Hey @TheLinuxEXP! Thanks for the awesome content :) I'm curious, what's your opinion on ThinkPad laptops for Linux? I've had some very pleasant experiences and wondered if you've ever delved into the ThinkPad world :)
Hopefully that nvidia Roadmap also helps with external GPUs... Because as it is now I can't use my external GPU with Wayland because of graphic fragments flickering all across the screen.. Only works on x11 which is very annoying

I kinda hate how Wayland doesn't have parity and we pretty much gave up on it being attainable. I still use x11 daily, and I can't see myself moving to Wayland in the near future, for so many reasons.
Huh. I could never see myself using XOrg again because of multi monitor limitations under X11. I have a multi monitor setup that would fall apart under XOrg, while Wayland (at least on KDE Plasma 6.1 and later) handles it no problem.
What are you still missing under Wayland?
@cameronbosch1213 many things, like unable to have button mapping outside of apps (except for KDE who made it work somehow), some window scaling issues, still "some" issues with Nvidia graphics card (though I'm happy this is being worked on), some games not running well with it, it doesn't remember where windows were so I always have to place them where they go again manually, etc.
I have 2 monitors and right now it works perfectly, thankfully.
@@DarkcoffeeGodot The button mapping issue is purely a GNOME thing that they seem to go down with the ship with not fixing; don't use GNOME. KDE & COSMIC, as well as all other compositors apart from GNOME's Mutter do support this, so it literally is just GNOME.
Window scaling has been much better in my experience on Wayland; on XOrg, it's a nightmare.
Unfortunately, Nvidia GPUs still have some flickering im my experience even on KDE Plasma 6.2.3 on my Arch Linux desktop. That I can understand.
As for games not working under Wayland, that also might be an Nvidia thing.
If it works for you, then don't sweat it for now, but things will slowly stop working in a few years, so I hope Nvidia fixes their 💩 soon!
Weekly Nick
Awesome news
Should I use Proton Experimental or Proton GE?
I don’t care about higher fps cuz I lock all games on 60fps! I only care about frametimes and smooth gameplay and less stutter.
It depends on the game. If it doesn't work on a stable version of Proton, try Proton Experimental. If it doesn't work on Proton Experimental, try Proton Hotfix. If it doesn't work on Proton Hotfix OR you want FSR support in nearly any full screen game (FSR 1.0 unfortunately, but some slightly older games only support DLSS, which is Nvidia RTX only, so it's better than nothing), then use Proton GE. For example, Persona 5 Strikers requires libraries only included in Proton GE (at least according to SteamDeckHQ), or otherwise cutscenes won't play properly. And there are some games that need ProtonTricks to add dependencies that Valve cannot legally redistribute to a game's Proton prefix (I know of at least one).
When Wayland can match and surpass the capabilities of X11, I'll be happy to adopt it as my default display server.
Nvidia roadmap is a huge step forward. Hopefully more to come
FG is not very good for making low frame rates better, because the added latency on top of the already high latency makes for a terrible experience. What’s good for is to fill the gap between your FPS capabilities and your high refresh rate monitor. Example: your system can run the game at 90FPS and your monitor is 120Hz. FG can give you that boost to experience your monitor max refresh rate fully.
Using FG for getting 60FPS from 30 is not going to be a very enjoyable experience.
Of course this is a general rule of thumb. Your mileage may vary.
Cheers.

After seeing how a mini pc out performs my gaming desktop, i'm already ordering a new motherboard, AMD CPU and graphics card. Clearly Nvidia is just horrible still for linux.
Funny hearing "Enforce the flatpak" when the vast majority of Linux users are on ubuntu. Besides, isn't enforcing package managers kind of against the spirit of Linux?
Linux users superiority complex is one of the biggest reason which is holding Linux back. Linux TV made a good video on it some days ago. Calling those drivers proprietary is indeed exaggerated and stupid i would say. Tuxedo sadly have to play nice as they're in a position where they have responsibilities.
Why though? AMD & Intel have good FOSS drivers for many years now (especially Intel, AMD is a bit newer at that once they bought out ATI, before that, ATI GPU drivers on Linux were Nvidia GPU drivers are now, as in, very bad).
