Yeah, even with all the improvements, Nvidia hybrid is still a nightmare in linux.
Just recently my vscode extensions were all inexplicably failing, and I traced it back to electron messing up, which I discovered only happens when the Nvidia driver is loaded even though I am not even using it for rendering... And this took forever to trace.
- jeroenhd 3y agoMy laptop works pretty well these days except for the Nvidia hardware, but it's not just laptops either. I can choose Wayland XOR external displays. I can update any kernel or driver and reboot days later, unless Nvidia's software gets involved. The Intel GPU also has some issues (random flickering on fullscreen applications for some obscure reason I just can't figure out) but they're much less "how can you possibly have missed this" and more "this seems like an unfortunate edge case".
- CoastalCoder 3y agoAny idea how well (AMD GPU) + Wayland + (external display) works these days? Wayland compatibility is one of the potential reasons I'd like my next Linux laptop to have an AMD dGPU.
- jeroenhd 3y agoI don't have a modern AMD GPU to test with that's not some kind of edge case. From what I've seen on the Steam Deck, everything just seems to work out of the box.
