All seems well after a reboot. I was asleep the last few hours. ;)
It does, but since I used Plasma 5 before, there are some old files scattered around in my home folder.
Thanks, I will try that.
Displays/screens, especially OLED these days. My phone screen uses this technology, my smartwatch, my tablet and my Alienware ultrawide PC monitor for gaming and movies.
You don’t have to, just get it from flathub as a flatpak.
Why the hassle? It is available to install as flatpak for any distro: https://flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV
Whoa, that’s a lot of comments. Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I will think about this.
I … bought an official digital Windows license back then before I even thought about Desktop Linux. Now I feel dirty …
Just to piss Microsoft off, I used the activation script for my GPU passthrough Tiny11 VM instead of simply signing into my account. ;)
Windows licenses are cheap
Bullshit, keys are not the same as licenses. A license costs ~150 Euros.
That’s true only for AMD or Intel users.
Use NVIDIA driver 535 until 555 is released.
Using Wayland with KDE Plasma 6 on Arch btw. But I installed the old NVIDIA driver 535, waiting for explicit sync in 555 to fix flickering in games.
I tried it now with these options and the latest driver 550.67. Nothing has changed, the terrible flickering is still there in all XWayland games and Steam is completely corrupted now.

Mint -> Kubuntu -> EndeavourOS -> Arch (btw)

Additionally, I had a 3 port FireWire card that I used for digitizing old MiniDV camcorder cassettes. But I had to remove it because someone fucked something up in kernel 6.5, crashing the whole boot process after a few milliseconds.
NVIDIA broke something on every version after 535.
Yeah, window managers like KWin have to implement it as well as NVIDIA in their driver. Currently, everyone is waiting for driver support before merging the (mostly finished) feature into master.

nvidia driver: ???
When I started my now mostly unused school laptop with dualboot (Windows/Debian) at 3 AM in the basement to solve a router issue. This pretty cheap laptop booted in mere seconds to a completely usable state, sparing my tired self from waiting in the cold for too long.
Right there, in the middle of the night, a flash of inspiration struck me!
How could it be that my way too expensive desktop gaming PC took longer to be ready for everything than this old piece of plastic? What if I completely switched my main machine to Linux, not only for testing, but for real? How awesome would it be to have customization freedom and full control over my own device, without a company spying on me, taking away options or using me as their guinea pig for the next untested updates?
And that’s how it began. Linux Mint as a safe start, then Kubuntu for more customization with KDE Plasma. After that, EndeavourOS for the latest software, and finally Arch Linux … for the lulz (btw).
Does it really work on the latest driver? Does it fix flickering in Minecraft and other XWayland games?
Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).
