I never realised people have issues with non-Amazon ebooks. The first thing I did was search how to put my own ebooks on my kindle and I found calibre, which is super easy to use.

Brother I live in western Europe and of the 6 supermarkets in my smallish city, 4 offer the handscanner. It’s incredibly common here, and very convenient.

I have a bunch of weird issues when running Linux on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. So unfortunately I won’t be switching until the situation improves.

It’s not even about gaming either, virtually all 2D animations are like 2fps, no matter the drivers or power management. I wasted days on this with some guys from the Lenovo Legion Linux discord server, and some with exactly the same laptop don’t have the same issue, but windows runs fine.

It’s a real shame that, maybe on the next laptop!

Problems with nvidia is really the only reason I’m still on Windows.

Thanks for the lead, but I’m afraid I don’t know what to do with these modules. Do they only work with NixOS?

Thank god I only watch less popular channels and each one of them are great to hang with during streams. I’ve not seen trash youtube in a while. I only go to the my subs page anywah

All good on voyager

It was such a weird conversation. He couldn’t imagine people not being interested in how a computer works and wanting to configure everything.

Spot on, you have similar experiences?

I had a discussion with someone who was of the belief that anyone that doesn’t build their own packages and reads the documentation is a lazy retard that doesn’t know what they’re installing on their computer.

That was a fun conversation

The game I use as a test is survev.io, but as I said it’s most browser 2D animations, regardless of whether I’m using the iGPU or the RTX3060.

One strange part is that in that game the menu screen workd smoothly and it only stutters during gameplay. When I die, the fade in of the death screen is smooth again, though the background still stutters.

Thanks for wanting to help, it’s much appreciated!

Even when I use the MUX switch and use only the dedicated card it stills stutters badly on 2d graphics only. It’s really strange.

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3060). This happens across EVERY distro I’ve tried (Debian 12, Fedora 42, Mint Cinnamon, EndeavourOS, Nobara, PopOS) and EVERY browser (Firefox, Brave, Chromium).

Key symptoms:

• 2D browser games stutter badly with low framerate
• 3D WebGL browser games actually run fine (???)
• Native games run perfectly (Captain Claw via Lutris works great)
• Same exact game runs perfectly on Windows 10 on the same laptop

Someone else with an RTX 3060 tested the exact same game, seeing the same ~20W power draw, but has zero stutter issues.

Here’s everything I’ve tried so far:

• Graphics drivers: Both nouveau and NVIDIA proprietary drivers (570.133.07), both with open and proprietary kernels
• Display settings: Tested at both 60Hz and 160Hz refresh rates
• Hardware acceleration: Enabled and disabled in all browsers
• Power modes: BIOS set to both Dynamic and Discrete graphics
• BIOS tweaks: Disabled virtualization, no power management features available in BIOS apart from that
• Performance forcing: Locked GPU clocks manually (nvidia-smi -lgc 1200,2100 and -lmc 7000,7000). Enabled persistence mode
• Added kernel parameters for power management (pcie_aspm=off acpi_osi=Linux)
• Lenovo-specific: Installed the Lenovo Legion Linux drivers from johnfanv2/LenovoLegionLinux
• NVIDIA power management: Tried enabling Nvidia dynamic boost with nvidia-powerd.service

I’ve monitored GPU power draw during gameplay and it hovers at 20-25W even when the light is red (performance mode) and the card is locked at P0 performance state. This is considerably lower than the ~80W it should be able to draw under load. It might not need to draw much more, but right now it’s not drawing any more.

When I run the Firefox profiler to see what’s happening, I can see the frame drops but there’s no clear cause. And the fact that 3D browser games work fine but 2D ones stutter makes no sense to me.

If you have any idea at all I’m listening, I’m all out of ideas :(

I’d love to make Linux my daily driver, but there’s an issue with 2d animations on any Linux distro I install on my laptop. Windows 10 does not have this issue. So that means like half the Internet is stuttery.

Until that is fixed, I cannot use it as my daily driver.

Kid friendly houses? In this economy?

Even if I trust the flying itself, I don’t trust not being detained upon entering the USA. I’m not flying there again anytime soon.

It’s here: https://ostechnix.com/dual-boot-windows-and-pop-os/

In the “Configure SystemD Boot for Dual Boot” section, or maybe I misunderstand the guide?

Yeah that’s true, but dual booting is harder than with most and requires tinkering with the windows boot partition, which I’m not a big fan of.

Just be sure to add only the people you want to be there. I’ve heard some people add others and it’s a bit messy
