Even without support, itll probably take a while until you run into real issues.

That does sound like a regulation problem in the capitalist hellacape that is the USA more than anything. I live in The Netherlands and evicting someone here is very difficult. A landlord needs to make his case in front of a judge and everything. There’s one reason with which they can evict a tenant with a bit more ease and that’s to use the property themselves, but they need to prove why they need it all of a sudden. And even then they need to pay the tenant roundabouts €7000 to help with the move.

Basing it on /e/OS won’t get us very far now will it

Unfortunately I’ve never seen this brand in the Netherlands, but I’ll keep an eye out

Fair enough, very understandable

For many people Linux still isn’t the perfect solution due to industry specific software being only available for Windows. I do agree that for most people Linux would be fine on their personal device.

Dude yes, I was so hyped for it, but it really underdelivered

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?

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.

I tried Fedora but since they removed support of x11 and nvidia doesn’t get along with wayland, I’m out of luck.

Thanks for your answer! I had 535 installed on Debian 12 and 570 on Fedora 42. This is the result of fastfetch (neofetch is EOL). Let me know if you need any more info or if you think you have something that might help. Thanks!

Smooth as butter on a chromium browser, which is nice but also annoying haha

Really tending towards AirVPN for my setup

Thanks for the detailed description! Their speeds are good?

In what way a honeypot?

Thanks, but in my post I mentioned I’m dissatisfied with Goose, so just wanted to get people’s input. I read the page
