Has support for DP 2.1 or HDR in Wayland made any improvements yet? I tried Pop_OS and had lots of issues with this

github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/…/816

I’ve been following this GitHub issue waiting for this change to make it into the next nvidia driver release but still suspect this won’t address HDR. Obviously first world problems for high end hardware but it’s one of the last pieces holding me back from trying Linux on my desktop

HDR

HDR works on KDE and GNOME desktop environments. KDE is currently the better choice if HDR support is important.

As for software:

  • Not included in official Proton builds yet but can be enabled in Proton-GE with 2 environment variables
  • mpv works fine
  • Kodi gets support in the next major version
  • Firefox and Chromium have experimental support

Can’t speak for DP 2.1 since I have an AMD GPU and no hardware that uses DP 2.1 (yet).

Appreciate the info! I had been trying out the new Cosmic DE that ships with pop os and I’m guessing that’s still lacking HDR but did feel very performant. I’ll have to see if switching is worth the trade off once they nvidia driver update gets released

That’s great and all but the two things that hold me back from going 100% Linux are kernel-level anticheat, and lack of graphics card acceleration in virtual environments. Once we have those I’ll be happy.

Visual Basic added to Libre Office would be really nice too, but I get that it’s not particularly feasible.

bookmeat,

Shut your mouth about VB… 😁

dellish,

Why? I have written a lot of custom macros and created forms to assist filling data fields in large spreadsheets. I have written macros that can open a CSV, comb through the contents and pick out the data I need to fill workbooks.

I’m not saying I’m especially tied to VB itself, I actually find it to be a pretty stupid language, but I do miss being able to write my own functions and effectly use Excel as a pre built GUI for whatever I’m trying to do. If there’s an alternative in Libre Office that I’m missing please point it out.

bookmeat,

LibreOffice supports python, JavaScript, and beanshell, as well as LibreOffice basic. The latter is similar to VBA and some VB scripts can even run unmodified.

dellish,

Oh cool. Thanks, I’ll check it out.

A bit sceptical of this number. Most popular games have some form of anti cheat which the game not run on Linux. Some other games sometimes have weird bugs that do not occur on windows. - source: I am on Linux 😩

The thing is I swapped, whenever I start using something and I dont want it to become popular because everything somehow gets ruined when it gets popular, it ends up getting popular. Im usually a late “early” adopter.

penquin, do nintendo w Nintendo Switch hacked to run Windows 11 on Arm, and it's just about as awful as you can imagine

Windows 11 lags like shit on a laptop with an Intel i7 and an Nvidia mx130. Nintendo switch is basically the weakest handheld device on the market.

Steamymoomilk,

For context the nintendo switch uses the nvida tega x1 processor. Which has also been shiped on the nvidia shield. So for context the gaming console is using the equivent processor. FOR A ANDROID STREAMING BOX

for more details en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_X1

penquin,

The switch has the worst graphics I’ve seen on a handheld. My kid has it and the games look like trash compared to my ps4, pc and even the steam deck.

R00bot,

This is a crazy thing to say about a 7 year old handheld lmfaooooo

penquin,

Exactly, it’s 7 years old, so my argument stands. The switch is trash because it is very old and has weak graphics.

Penta,

Ah yes, because graphics is the only thing that defines how good games are

ChicoSuave,

Nintendo never hid this. The specs showed a Tegra X1 when Switch was released. It was always public knowledge that Switch is an Ouya with an ecosystem and released games.

None of your post is new but it’s like you want to drum up outrage that a company used easily available hardware that didn’t require custom hardware like Playstation or Xbox (which SHARE nearly identical AMD chipsets!)

Why get mad at the hardware choice for an 8 year old console?
