Fun with NVidia garbage drivers pt. XXXX

TUXEDO OS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS got a new update for Nvidia and it breaks wayland on multi GPU Notebooks seen on 580 and 595 driver versions observed on a AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics & NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile / Max-Q combination on Kernel 6.17.0-121035-tuxedo

So my guess would be the bug is in the nvidia-firmware blob

Bug description is identical to

I'm having problems with my #TuxedoOS / #Ubuntu / #Linux laptop doesn't recognize when I plug in an HDMI cable, unless I restart the laptop with the HDMI inside.

Suffice to say, having to reboot the laptop before a presentation is not very ideal. Anyone experienced a similar issue and know the solution?

As friends, relatives and colleagues keep asking me for a beginner-friendly Linux distribution, and as I’m also looking to see if there’s anything other than LinuxMint out there, I’ve installed and tested TUXEDO-OS in a virtual machine once again. I have to say, a lot has changed, and it really could be a good alternative to Mint for people who aren’t put off by the sheer number of possible settings.

Mit bissel Aufwand konnten wir gestern zum Nachbarschafts-Café einen rüstigen ACER-Laptop mit div. Viren- und Trojanerwarnungen von Windows 11 auf #TuxedoOS umbasteln.
Läuft ziemlich flott jetzt und die Warnungen sind irgendwie auch alle weg. 🤷

#ACER hatte im BIOS allerdings die Einstellungen zum SATA-Mode sehr sehr gut versteckt.

Why is it that Plasma has 19 options for the compose key but Gnome only 10? Both are on Wayland with the same keyboard layout (US-Intl with Alt-Gr dead keys), the first with Tuxedo OS (Ubuntu derivative) and the latter in plain Ubuntu 26.04. The Plasma setting is really convenient on this type of keyboard, because it means I can use a duplicated key (backslash) for Compose.

Hey @tuxedocomputers - I expect a statement from your side that you won't include that AI shit in your #tuxedoos which AFAIK is a fork of #ubuntu !

Let's hope you do the sane thing here, so you don't lose lots of your loyal customers!

Wenn ich unter KDE "Kontact" wegen der Nextcloud Kalender & Kontakte installieren will, bekomme ich irgendwie sehr verwirrende Versionsangaben:

• Discover/apt : 24.12.3-0ubuntu1~tux1
• Flathub - 6.6.3 - flathub.org/de/apps/org.kde.ko…
• Kontact Webseite - kontact.kde.org/de/ - ????

So bleiben die Fragen:
Wer lügt? Wer sagt die Unwahrheit? Und wer gibt gar keine Auskunft? ;)

Hat jemand eine Lösung?
