Do an atomic distro like bazzite, all the nerds are basically open sourcing IT with it by preconfiguring everything for you for every update.

As simply as possible, it (mostly) locks down system files and confines users to the user directory. This makes the operating system very stable and hard to break, it also creates a reproducible testing environment which significantly helps developers with bug testing software. For the vast majority of users, this is a positive, though users that want to tinker with the system files a lot may run into a lot of blockers. Upgrades are likely to be very stable, and you will not have system file config drift issues that often break long running traditional linux distros and force the user to intervene.

wonder if theyll add flathub

Pretty ridiculous take I can wire sniff everything coming out of my house and Linux (I use fedora Atomic) and GrapheneOs solve any sort of tracking issues. Then you just have only your ISP to worry about, and that can be solved with appropriate vpn, vps, and/or tor setups

Edit oh you’re a bit account

Isn’t calyx dead now

GrapheneOs continuing to be the only unclowned rom

i think the issue comes when the state needs information and they will be willing to surgically implant things in you and force you through a series of tests to establish a baseline.

j0rge is one of the main devs of bazzite and theres a lot of very strange people in this thread on lemmy.ml chumming the waters here, atomic distros doing well apparently bring out the worst in the strangest linux nerds who think their way of life is under attack. On hexbear a lot of these people causing a ruckus probably aren’t even viewable

edit: yeah the thread here on lemmy.ml has 153 comments currently and on hexbear its 63 and much more tame, lol

Ah ok

There’s a toggle for the store in ujust command iirc

People just don’t like it because it’s different and uses new tech

👑 the goat is here

No it’s definitely the open drivers

rpm-ostree is pretty nifty in general, it functions like git so it reapplies each of your configs over what the devs do each time you upgrade, leading to as little config drift and broken upgrades as possible. each upgrade feels like a fresh install imo

Could try dual booting to see how your hardware works

cuda works fine on 4070 right now, though iirc certain specific things dont run well and are a little funky in comparison. i think it was ollama? but llama.cpp seems to work fine, same with things like comfyui

🤷‍♀️ I don’t know much about that, cyberpunk runs perfect on my 4070 idk what else you could want

Bazzite has a build for the older proprietary nvidia drivers, I’m pretty sure 1080s dont get the open source variant of the driver unfortunately 😔

https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this is the download for the proprietary nvidia kde iso

https://download.bazzite.gg/bazzite-gnome-nvidia-stable-amd64.iso this one is for gnome

I don’t know how well the proprietary driver runs, I assume if you got it running on another linux distro this will work fine

Works fine with the nvidia open drivers, what gpu you got
