  • What I feel would be acceptable:

    If you’re proud of your Framework laptop and want to brag about it, we’ll give you some swag for free that you can show off with when you’re out and about!

    What this looked like to me:

    If you’re attending a conference we’d be paid to attend, but can’t go to, will you show off your Framework laptop to attendees in an effort to convince them to buy one from us too, and we’ll send you some stickers?

    The issue isn’t even what they’re asking for, but how their asking it.


  • When I last had an everyday carry USB stick (5+ years ago) I found I never actually used it for anything.

    I had Ventoy and some practical ISOs, and PortableApps with a bunch of useful software (firefox, foobar2000, GIMP, notepad++…) for when I was using someone else’s Windows PC.

    …think I stored like two word documents on it, ever.






  • and a Nvidia 2080ti

    Do you know which Nvidia driver you’re using currently?

    There’s an established open-source Nouveau driver that Ubuntu & Mint probably defaulted to, a bleeding-edge open-source NVK driver that is still very early in it’s development, and a proprietary Nvidia driver that Nobara probably tried, as it’s kinda what you’d want for gaming.

    The other question would be if you’re using Wayland or X11 underneath your desktop environment?

    It should be listed in Settings > System > System Details, under the heading “Windowing System” if you’re using GNOME.

    Wayland has better multi-monitor support than X11, but the proprietary Nvidia driver has a few teething problems with Wayland at the moment - a new 555 beta driver update should be coming this week with proper fixes for the sync/screen-tearing issues people have been experiencing.











  • Glorious Eggroll is also behind a database called ULWGL that will get all the game launchers that use his proton (heroic, lutris, bottles…) to use the same game specific patches because at the moment they maintain them independently for the most part. The project seems to be taking off pretty quickly because it’s already formed an organization around it and recentered itself to even be Proton-GE independent if needed.
