I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!

Right up front two major issues with Linux:

1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system

2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.

I currently use and love bluetuith! I hope you are able to secure funding and contributors, as this sounds like it could be a great development.

Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!

VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.
