| Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:08 AM PDT So I have been using Linux for nearly a year now, first with Ubuntu now with Arch Linux. I really love the way Linux works and it really is productive for my programming stuff and also no telemetries is a massive plus. However, as much as I want to, I also wanna play videos games and my PC isn't good, it likes to run things natively or else the performance will be horrid. On Windows, games such as Battlefield 4 and Resident Evil 7 are usually playable at 30-60FPS, minor FPS drops in action intensive moments, but still playable. On Linux, I tried playing BF4 and RE7 through wine-staging and proton with the latest Nvidia driver, I tried to use esync, I used custom kernels to be able to try fsync. But the performance was just absolutely bad, for BF4 the FPS went from 60 to 13 even with DXVK, for RE7 it went from 60 to 30. Dual booting is the only feasible way for me to actually run Windows games and programs perfectly for me unfortunately and it really is annoying. I'd love to know if there are any more ways to alleviate the performance issues with wine. My specs: CPU: Intel Pentium G3240 @ 3.10GHz GPU: NVIDIA Quadro K620 RAM: 6GB OS: Arch Linux / Windows 10 [link] [comments]  |
| What's the difference between /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:16 AM PDT How do I actually verify this using the terminal? For me on Rhel8, bin & usr/bin show same contents. [link] [comments]  |

| PC crashed while dual booting Ubuntu & Windows Posted: 29 Sep 2021 01:02 PM PDT I was dual booting Ubuntu & Windows on a Dell Latitude 5510 laptop and it completely crashed in the middle of a Google Meet session earlier today. It just suddenly shut down and it won't turn on again. Can anyone relate? [link] [comments]  |
| I am using Ubuntu. Why does my laptop's screen brightness resets to max after log out/log in? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 10:42 AM PDT It is so annoying and makes me blind every time! lol [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:50 PM PDT I just downloaded Arco and it doesn't see the wifi card of my macbook (2015) after installation, only in the live environment (there it works perfectly). [link] [comments]  |
| Virtualize Windows 11 and Switch to Linux for main OS Posted: 28 Sep 2021 07:35 PM PDT Hi all, What is the best approach for virtualizing my existing Windows 11 installation (on a Thinkpad Extreme Gen2), and switching the main OS to a Linux distro? I'm looking at PopOS. Is there a VirtualBox tool I can use to convert my Windows 11 installation? Then I'm assuming I'd wipe my drive, install PopOS, install VirtualBox, then import my Windows 11 VM?

| Usb-Wifi adapter stops working unexpectedly (TL-WN823N) Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:11 AM PDT Dear linux community I set up my Desktop Pc with ubuntu i3 and everything is working great except for the network. When i boot the Pc it works fine but a after about 5 minutes into my workflow every application receives 0 data. what's weird is that the bottom bar is still showing that I'm connected with the same strength. I installed wavemon to get some data and this is what it shows: It's very weird that there is practically no difference. I really don't know what to look for. I installed all the drivers and even the fixes for the wifi adapter. I use a TP-Link TL-WN823N btw and it is not possible to get a lan connection. The adapter was very slow in the beginning (3mb/s) but once I installed the driver it went up to 50mb/s, which is still low compared to the 250mb/s every other device in this flat gets, even at the same location as my pc, but it's tolerable i guess. Another trace i followed was that the usb devices on my pc seem to malfunction in general. During the writing of this post my mouse went off unrecoverably for example, but if my usb wifi adapter would be influenced by this, the system wouldn't show it as still being connected, right? I also tried unplugging the adapter and replugging it but my system doesn't recognize it at all then. My concrete questions are thus:

| Bad idea to set ~/bin higher precedence than /usr/local/bin? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 10:47 AM PDT Is it a bad idea to set I am currently symlinking some scripts from ~/bin/ to /usr/local/bin. Just setting Previously I have used shell aliases/functions for simple commands to pass my preferred default arguments, however, this does not seem appropriate/possible to use with other scripts and systemd unit services so I am using scripts instead.

| Why does "nice" value exist along side "priority" ? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:26 PM PDT I don't see much of usefulness having a user space only "nice" value for process. I dig a bit on the internet and read somewhere that "nice" is from POSIX and hence it is kept, but linux only use non-standard priority value. Very few mention about why "nice" exist at all tho. Does anybody know a bit of the history here ? xD [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:17 PM PDT I'm looking to see if I can use Linux as a modem and router for my home's internet. I found a large amount of documentation on how to make a Linux-based router, but not a Linux-based modem or modem/router combo. Has anyone ever attempted this? Is it possible? If so, how did you even go about this with almost no reference material? I'm not asking for anyone to do it for me (I'm not a complete noob to Linux. I know better than that), but if someone could steer me the right way, it'd be greatly appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| My friend is unable to install linux Posted: 29 Sep 2021 08:05 AM PDT My friend recently tried to install linux, popos to be specific, but his drive wasn't showing up in the installation, we tried multiple ways to fix this but none of them worked. He also tried to install arch but it didn't show up there either, can anyone help? [link] [comments]  |

| Hardware acceleration (Web browser specifically) with Nvidia Ampere on Pop!_OS? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 03:18 AM PDT So I'm finally trying Linux again after trying (and breaking) Manjaro a few months ago but there is one somewhat major thing that is really bugging me- no matter what I try, I can't seem to get full hardware acceleration in Firefox or Google Chrome. I have tried tons of different flags, tried running Pop OS in Wayland mode (was pretty laggy and I'm not sure I fully set it up despite reinstalling 470 Nvidia drivers so I switched back to X11). When playing back hi-res videos it's pretty obvious they're being decoded by the CPU as my fans ramp up and video playback is inconsistent with many dropped frames and a lot of freezing. I think VP9 specifically is the worst but they all do it. I'm not sure what to do to get GPU video decoding to work in a browser, if it's even possible with Ampere currently. If it's not something that can be done I might have to give up on the idea of Linux for now since as minor as it might seem, it has already been very noticeable and annoying. Maybe I have missed something? Any suggestions are appreciated [link] [comments]  |
| Screen tearing and FPS problems Posted: 28 Sep 2021 09:52 PM PDT Hello, I am having problems with V-Sync in ubuntu. It is my first time ever using Linux. I just installed Ubuntu yesterday, but there is so much screen tearing even while using desktop apps and moving windows around. I tried Minecraft yesterday and even when I turn on V-Sync, I still get screen tearing and the FPS doesn't get capped to my monitor's refresh rate. Even when the game is running at 100+ fps constantly, it is not smooth I tried going to NVIDIA Control Panel, but there are not the settings shown in the videos. I have updated the drivers. It is a laptop with NVIDIA MX250 and Intel UHD graphics. Also, if you can suggest some other Linux distributions that I can use for playing games, it would be awesome. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2021 09:25 AM PDT Hello, my name is Maxi, I am learning Linux, but my problem is that I am installing Debian 11 (32bits) on an old PC: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ FX 5200 (128MB) Ram 1512mb I know that they say that Debian is not highly recommended for newbies, but I see that it is very good and one of the few distros that still has 32-bit support, I installed it and everything was fine but at the moment of starting the Grub the screen remains in black, I imagine it will be that it does not recognize the resolution or the video card, I cannot find solutions on the internet, I only found how to solve it in Ubuntu but when pressing "e" the commands that appear in the Debian Grub are not the same, I tried recovery mode but the same thing happens, someone tells me what to do? Thank you [link] [comments]  |

| Could someone suggest me a Distro? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 07:25 AM PDT Sorry, im sure this is like, the only type of post you guys get. So im shamelessly giving you another. Anyway, here are my needs:
Currently I'm on Debian Bullseye - and I like it overall, but it doesn't play well with optimus (I was able to install whatever the bumblebee spinoff was, and it now runs in battery mode, but it doesn't really switch to GPU well. The GPU is a bit weird too - it's a Quadro which is basically a 1050 that's made for engineering not gaming. Idk if that affects anything but thought it was worth mentioning. Laptop is : https://www.lenovo.com/sg/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-p-series/ThinkPad-P51/p/22TP2WPWP51 Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| possible to run GUI applications on one machine but use them on another? Posted: 29 Sep 2021 06:52 AM PDT I have 2 devices: a low end netbook running GalliumOS and a desktop Mac. Mac will be upgraded to linux sometime in the future and I want to know if this idea I have is stupid, and if feasible what to take into account. tldr: Can I run GUI applications on one machine but use them on the other? OR is there something like my thought process:
If the above is not totally bonkers,
This is to be done only/primarily while I'm local on the same LAN, not from afar. I know that unix was originally used in a terminal fashion but have never done much that way (millennial here). It's called "x server" but from what I understand it's not really a server in the way the term is colloquially used. Or is it? I anticipate that should the above be workable it will not be equivalent experience to having a laptop with same specs as desktop. Just looking to extend the capabilities of my existing equipment as much as possible to avoid needlessly purchasing more. Would appreciate being set on the right path here. Partly I imagine if this sort of thing was practical, it would be commonly done. It's kind of what "cloud" is but not via a web interface. thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| I can't use VSC alongside Unity in POP_OS Posted: 29 Sep 2021 12:29 AM PDT Good morning / afternoon or evening, I have a problem with Visual Studio Code (compulsory program for the University) and it is that in Unity 3D when you want to execute the scripts made in C # I get the poster "dotnet and mono6 SDK extension are required", these they do not appear in the store or the distribution or in FlatHub they do not appear in the VSC extensions store (and I doubt that the error is going to come from there: /). Any help would be greatly appreciated .... [link] [comments]  |
