Oops! I did wonder if it could be non-Nvidia. Oh well

[Advice Needed] Wayland on GTR7 Pro 7940HS/Radeon 780M? in c/[email protected]

I actually have an old laptop with a GTX 780M and a Core i3 3rd Gen running Arch.

When I tried GNOME on it with Fedora, it defaulted to X11 on login when it detected the Nvidia card. However, mine was also an Optimus laptop, and I could mostly always get Wayland working with the iGPU on the Intel. This is how I mostly ran for a year or two without ever using the dGPU.

I need to chuck in a new SSD on that, but I could check it out let you know if anything's changed in recent years. I don't think wayland support for older nvidia cards have even been worked on in the last couple of years. There's work for wayland on newer nvidia cards, but it's mostly still spotty.

The technical merits of Wayland are mostly irrelevant in c/[email protected]

Yep I second this. I've been using GNOME, hyprland and sway interchangeably since 2021 Oct on my system as my main DEs. I recently wanted to give Plasma Wayland a try. Was met with multiple crashes, and freezes that required me to long press the power button to reboot to get it working again.

While the new rootless wayland on SDDM worked fine for me, there are several things in Plasma that still don't yet have support for Wayland. I could never get screen sharing to be reliable on Plasma Wayland, despite having the right portals installed.

GNOME, Sway, and Hyprland are miles ahead in having a stable system on Wayland.

The reason I switched from Gboard was because it autocorrected a capital "I" to a small "i"

Thanks! Been on the lookout for good HDDs with external power supply.

How are you connecting the two drives to the Pi? Do they have external power supplies?

What’s the best router brand supported by OpenWRT? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think that model is available here in my country :(

Would love to create a full mesh network, but it's hard to find multi band devices with OpenWRT support in my country ATM

More details leak about the Galaxy S23 FE's camera (www.androidauthority.com)

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like all the Galaxy S23 FE lenses will see an upgrade, but the most important ones should.

  • The Samsung Galaxy S23 FE might get an upgraded selfie camera borrowed from the Galaxy S22 series.
  • This would join the previously leaked upgrade of the primary rear camera.
  • However, the telephoto and ultrawide lenses would likely not see upgrades.

Google’s AI-enhanced Search experience is testing more prominent source links (9to5google.com)
 

The Search Generative Experience (SGE) that Google is testing out with some users shows an interesting future for the world’s most popular search engine, but one that also wasn’t really showing its source links very clearly at first. Now, though, Google seems to be testing more prominent links in SGE.

Since its launch in May, the Search Generative Experience (SGE) in Google Search has been able to use generative AI to enhance search results with summaries related to your search. In a hands-on overview, our Abner Li called the experience “scarily sufficient,” commenting on how SGE makes it easy to ignore source links and just take Google’s answers at face value, even if they aren’t fully accurate.
