athas, vtubing is generally an activity in which someone takes up a pseudonym and makes an alternate identity for themselves

i'm pretty sure that the safety comment is due to kiwifarms and associated chuds outing and and harassing lina

i think i know who lina is an alter-ego of, but it seems clear that they don't want that connection to be public, so i am respecting that

legal agreements (such as copyright assignment and contributor license agreement) generally require the use of some sort of “strong” identity that rules out any form of pseudonymity that isn’t tied back to a real-world identity such as a d/b/a, corporation, LLC, etc.

at least in the era of public key cryptography one could make the argument that a pseudonymous entity could post their public key and anything verifiably signed by the associated private key is coming from that entity; that doesn’t, however, address the potential legal need to go backwards from that pseudonymous entity to the real entities behind it

whereas even in jurisdictions that allow for publicly hiding the identity of (say) the principals of an LLC, this information is discoverable through legal process which isn’t necessarily the case for just an entity associated with a public/private key pair—with sufficiently good opsec, such an entity could remain undiscoverable, which isn’t something legal systems like

quick search indicates that this is an alternative to capital letters, to deal with case-insensitive filesystems

the kernel changed their policy, which previously required a full legal name, to allow pseudonymous contributions just before asahi lina's patches started to get merged

i was honestly surprised when i learned that, because i thought the character was just a typical anime fan gimmick, since it didn't seem like they were making any real attempt at anonymity from the start

amdgpu is throwing kernel oopses with rdna4 hardware so i guess i just have to wait until that gets fixed. that's what i get for managing to snag one of the tiny handful of cards that made it to the market before the mfgers started adding a bunch of zeros onto the end of the price.

9070 xt. There are only two rdna4 asics on the market right now.

It works more or less but any time a bunch of stuff gets loaded into vram there is a chance that the kernel might oops and your machine will freeze. Then you have to wait 30 sec for the whole Wayland session to crash, or there will be GPU tile-sized artifacts on screen after 30 sec or so and then another 30 sec or so later the session will unfreeze and you can terminate the game from Steam. Either way the next thing that should be done in this situation is rebooting.

The smart thing to do would be to put my old GPU back in and wait a few months but 4k graphics shiny.

2 pages late but I think this is exactly the correct litmus test for arch. If the install process looks too ugly, look at Endeavor or Manjaro or another distro.

I've had no end to problems with arch linux and Nvidia, but much of that has to do with KDE's still-new wayland support. Nevertheless if you have huge issues, the driver version of Nvidia to fall back to is 550. There are still major issues with nvidia/wayland/KDE with driver versions newer than that. There are also unresolved X11 bugs that have been recently introduced. (e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483094)

I finally solved these problems by buying a used AMD GPU from a friend. Suddenly everything works perfectly and performs smoothly. The problem really is Nvidia themselves and their poo poo drivers.

As for pacman I have zero complaints about it. My preferred AUR wrapper for pacman is yay (https://github.com/Jguer/yay). Works as advertised, makes installing AUR things equivalent to installing anything from pacman.

I've been trying for a while, so I finally gotta ask -- how do you get specifically nvidia version 550 drivers on an arch-based distro? I see them in pacman, but all attempts to switch to that give various dependency errors, and mhwd only shows 390xx, 470xx, and latest (which are 570).

EDIT: Got it. For future people: "pamac remove nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils linux612-nvidia nvidia-settings" then "pamac install nvidia-550xx-dkms nvidia-550xx-utils lib32-nvidia-550xx-utils"

Now when I resume from sleep, instead of it hanging/crashing, it forgets about my main display for 30 seconds, then finally detects it locked at 640x480. I'm not sure if that's progress...

The weird thing is that my friend also has arch-based Linux, also with an nVidia 4000-series, also with KDE, and he was also running driver 570, but his thing just works.
