Nix has its place in the Linux ecosystem but I would never blindly recommend it to someone. It’s a niche distro for a niche set of people. This person is afraid the Linux quirks are too much for them and you throw them Nix. That’s an awful fit.

Try Linux Mint instead, which is a very user friendly distro.

I see Endeavour as Arch with sane defaults. They also use the Arch repos, if the distro dies I’m not really affected.

I would be okay with defective controllers if Nintendo bothered to fix them. Through the entire lifespan of the console they sold controllers that would eventually drift. I own 3 pair of joy cons, they all drift. When sent for repair they were all deemed unrepairable, even those under warranty. That’s inexcusable.

In the new iteration of joycons they STILL don’t use TMR or hall effect sticks.

I don’t want to support this company.

I was hoping for a 700/800 euros TBH. 1k is kinda pushed since this is going to be marketed as a console, a kinda underpowered one at that.

I bought the Switch 1 on launch and loved it, it was everything I was looking for on a console. However, every single joystick broke. I bought several joy con packs and they all drift heavily. Even the pro controller drifts. Nintendo Iberia refused to even repair them. They gave me the option to either replace them with a 20 euro discount or pay 20 euros for them to ship them back.

Awful product quality, awful support, zero accountability. Guess what, I’m spending my money elsewhere.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t cachyos deploying the exact same solution? The only difference seems to be that their package manager offers to swap the packages.

These are the official drivers, it is just a pinned version that won’t be updated anymore. It should work as well as it did before the switcheroo.

AMD cards have support directly in the Kernel, its usually plug and play. You just have to be careful about brand new cards (ie: released very recently) to ensure your distribution of choice has a new enough kernel and mesa.

No need to reinstall the entire os, just swap the driver packages…

Have you tried the aur package mentioned in the Arch News? archlinux.org/…/nvidia-590-driver-drops-pascal-su…

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with wayland.
