The_Franz posted:oddly enough, the steam interface seems to work when streaming from the steam deck, which runs on wayland problem is there isn't one wayland -- wayland is just the display protocol, and every desktop envrionment implements it in their own compositor. i think the steam deck runs kde and the gamescope compositor, but it's possible the kde compositor is layered in as well. i think gamescope is wlroots based, and kde's compositor is entirely its own thing. if op is running gnome or even plain kde, they're using a different stack than the steam deck

There is a big open ticket about it it seems to affect most / all desktops, idk. The workaroubds didnt work for me on F37 + kde https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6148 Didn't gently caress with it to much cause, regrettably X works and I dont wanna janitor my computer more than necessary.

If anyone else is masochistic enough to be using lookingglass with gpu passthrough, the latest version (B6) is an absolutely massive improvement because it 1) adds support for using a virtualized VGA device as a fallback so it's not impossible to debug if there's a problem and 2) adds native support for audio so you don't have to use scream. This makes it much more seamless and hopefully means that it's not necessarily to plug in an external monitor whenever there's a problem, and I'd probably actually recommend it for anyone using gpu passthrough now. mystes fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Jan 2, 2023 |

Hello thread, my name is Athas and I am a Linux user. Yesterday I got a new AMD RX 7900 GPU. This was an interesting experience because it is so new, so driver support is spotty. In particular, I had to install the newest Linux kernel (fine), the newest Mesa (uh), compiled with the newest LLVM (oh no). The problem is that the latter two parts aren't yet packaged in my distribution, NixOS. Fortunately it is easy to reference random branches on GitHub from your NixOS configuration: pre:let
staging = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/tarball/staging-next") { config = config.nixpkgs.config; };
llvm15 = import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/rrbutani/nixpkgs/tarball/feature/llvm-15") { config = config.nixpkgs.config; };
in
...
pre: hardware.opengl.package = (staging.mesa.override
{ llvmPackages = llvm15.llvmPackages_15;
enableOpenCL = false; }).drivers;
Of course it'd be better if everything just worked, but it's nice that NixOS lets you hack stuff without leaving system scar tissue.

I described my experience with a RX7900XTX on Kinoite in another thread, but basically: I downloaded the Mesa 23 rpm from the CI server and overrode it in another OStree "branch", leaving the stable version pinned. LLVM and kernel were available as packages (as was mesa 22.3 but 23 works better). However, flatpaks don't work with this as they bring their own LLVM instead of the system library (which is the whole point), so I had to reinstall Steam and Lutris as (ewww) native RPM packages. If Flatpak were like Docker, I could have built a "patched" flatpak that used the official one as a base and just updated the LLVM and Mesa dependencies. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible - you can't simply refer to another existing flatpak from your own flatpak manifest - so I'd basically have to maintain a fork of the original manifest. @Athas: how does Nix work with this? Like, if I understand the whole point of Nix is "you can have many versions of dependencies and each package can use whichever it prefers", so if you install Steam and Lutris, do they use LLVM 15 or the version they were targeted against? If the latter, can you force them to use the "wrong" version or do you have to repackage them? NihilCredo fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Jan 11, 2023 |

The problem is that the latter two parts aren't yet packaged in my distribution, NixOS. This actually seems pretty cool. I have a laptop that runs the latest Fedora but stuff breaks when you put it to sleep. Specifically, charging via usb-c. I think a bunch of other stuff breaks as well, and it looks like it's because its Intel chipset is too dang new. There are kernel patches to fix it but I would need to build a new kernel. Maybe I should try NixOS. I really wanted to go with Fedora because it has a lot of cool cutting edge stuff (like tpm-enabled LUKS) but why bother when you can't put it to sleep?

Antigravitas posted:In Debian you'd peruse backports. Mesa, llvm, kernel-image don't pull in too many dependencies, so that's similarly easy to do. I'd have to manually clean up after those once I no longer need them, and from what I remember, it can sometimes be tricky when you've installed random .debs. Also, I'd be poo poo out of luck of that Mesa backport wasn't compiled with LLVM 15 (previous versions don't know about this GPU architecture). The cool think about my NixOS solution is that I am combining two prerelease branches (one for LLVM and one for Mesa), and letting one influence the other. NihilCredo posted:@Athas: how does Nix work with this?

If the latter, can you force them to use the "wrong" version or do you have to repackage them? All Mesa provides (as far as my needs anyway) is a bunch of dynamic libraries that games launched by Steam load in order to do graphics. Those dynamic libraries will use LLVM 15. Anything else on the system will use the standard LLVM. This is pretty important because if I overrode something that fundamental globally, it'd have to compile pretty much everything from scratch (but it would probably still work).

The only reason I say "probably" is that there's probably a reason the LLVM 15 derivation isn't merged yet, so something might break. Usually, globally replacing the compiler on NixOS and recompiling everything works fine. It just takes a long time.

You end up solving the same kinds of bullshit problems on NixOS as on Gentoo/Arch, but with NixOS I feel like there are at least some underlying rational principles I can apply to fix stuff. Also, it's easier to experiment and roll back without permanently dirtying the package database.

also, debian decided to not include mesa22 in backports for bullseye, which is annoying but understandable considering the llvm thing. bookworm's been stable for me the 2 months i've been running it though and the freeze is soon and then it's back to standard stable debian fare

i only use nixos on my home servers and not a desktop but i really like it. i enjoy that the config defines exactly what i get and i can roll back to the exact system i had (besides a few mutable places like my home dir) when i gently caress up or change my mind was also cool when i recently moved a server to new hardware, was my fastest reinstall ever. like i say mine is a small use case so ymmv but it's p cool for my needs and i recommend checking it out if you are also a control freak and enjoy seeing everything defined by config

Is Mint still the go-to distro for less technical users? Partner's laptop is getting older and they're starting to get frustrated with its performance running Windows, so I was thinking about setting up a dual boot to see if they can get some performance back by running something lighter weight for most stuff, while still having the Windows option for any programs that I can't get Wine to play nice with. Ideally something with minimal terminal knowledge required, I could teach them that stuff but idk how inclined they are to learn it right off the bat heh.
