UPDATE: I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period? - Lemmy.World
Long story short, I made a post in '23 August about my predictions for linux in
the next 10 months. It has been more than 10 months I am here. Old post here:
https://lemmy.world/post/3322139 [https://lemmy.world/post/3322139] Here were my
predictions: * Pop OS 24.04 will be awesome and be the go-to recommendation when
it is released * SteamOS for PCs will not be released yet * Linux market share
will be around %2-2.5 in Steam hardware survey * Plasma 6 will be released
around January and will be a bit buggy, but most rough edges will be smoothed by
the next release in 3-4 months * NVK will have performance parity with official
drivers in certain configurations * Wayland will gain wider adoption, even on
Nvidia * There will be little to no progress in compatibility with current
anti-cheat blocked games * (bonus, not related to Linux) Web environment
integrity will be adopted only in education industry because it is dominated by
Chromebooks at least in US. And the results: * Pop OS 24.04 is still not here
and even if it was I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone yet because their custom DE
is still cooking. (incorrect) * SteamOS is not released. (Correct) * Linux is
exactly at %2 on Steam survey right now and was even higher before (Correct) * I
haven’t followed NVK development closely but afaik it doesn’t offer performance
parity at the moment. (incorrect) * 2024 has been a good year for Nvidia +
Wayland :) (correct) * Ah, the anti cheats… <insert it’s evolving but backwards
meme here> (correct) * Web Environment Integrity is dead (incorrect) source:
wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Environment_Integrity#] So I got
4/7. Before you ask, no, the “decommision my PC” part didn’t work out. That
endeavour lasted only 1 and a half month. But I managed to isolate myself from
Linux news.
Ethernet switch only partially working

Ethernet switch only partially working - Lemmy.World
Here is the past network setup: * Main Router (192.168.1.2) -> Ethernet Switch
-> Multiple Ethernet cables connected to wall * Wall -> Second Router
(192.168.1.1) * Wall -> PC After a blackout we thought the switch was no longer
working so we replaced it with another router. The problem is the router has too
few ports, not every room gets ethernet. The ethernet switch works in this
configuration: * Main Router -> Third Router (Wi-Fi disabled) -> Ethernet cable
connected to wall -> Wall -> Ethernet Splitter -> PC Under either of these
configurations PC detects network but cannot reach 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 or
WWW: * Main Router -> Ethernet Switch -> PC * Main Router -> Ethernet Switch ->
Ethernet cable connected to wall -> Wall -> PC Windows reports “Unidentified
network”, Linux tries to connect for a minute then fails. I knwo the PC isn’t
bad because other devices also fail to connect. Even if I set up a static IP I
cannot reach a local IP. 2nd router has IP address 192.168.1.1 because it
refuses to use anything else, first router is assigned different IP so these two
don’t conflict.

Linux 40, Proton 8, Mesa 24.1.6 * Game Settings: DX12, frame gen off, FSR,
everything on low/off, 720p windowed with %100 resolution. Game did not start
before renaming folder Engine/Plugins/Runtime/Nvidia. I was stuck at a black

HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux.

HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux. - Lemmy.World
My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is
supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen
will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next
boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing
has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.
I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period?

How reliable dual booting has been for you?

How reliable dual booting has been for you? - Lemmy.world
I currently have 2 PCs which dual-boot from single drive: * W10+Garuda on UEFI *
W10+Pop OS on previously CSM, now migrated to UEFI I have used dual boot for 2
years and Windows never decided to play the boss and override Linux. In fact,
some Linux distros overwrote existing bootloader and put their own in my
experience. I didn’t have many problems and if I did, they were easy to fix. I
even play Steam games from NTFS on both PCs. On the contrary, I heard many
horror stories, dual booting is avoided and not recommended to newcomers by most
users. How is your experience with dual booting Linux and Windows? Did Windows
ever deleted Linux bootloader on updates for you?
