  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    This laptop came with an onboard intel graphics card AND an NVIDIA graphics card!

    Oh fuck

    That setup is working fairly well these days though, NVIDIA Optimus configurations have been doing fine for at least a year now. Granted, my laptop is AMD + NVIDIA not Intel, but I don't think that matters.

    seriously how. I have no idea where the fucking profile configs go, I followed the instructions on the debian wiki and duplicated my login screen in a shittier resolution.

    The best "solution" I have is dumping this into the games command line on steam, but it STILL uses the intel grfx card as well as the nvidia one. playing videos for more than 5 mins overheats the intel processor while the nvidia one does fucking nothing

    __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD_PROVIDER=NVIDIA-G0 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only

    How the fuck do I use this?

    I'm thinking about following these instructions to disable a pci device, but i'm scared of bricking this fucking computer (again) and wasting another weekend re-installing the os instead of working on projects

    I get two fucking folders presented when I scan for the PCI folder :

    lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 05)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6th-10th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 05)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04)


     ls -la /sys/bus/pci/devices | grep 00:02.0 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 18 02:53 0000:00:02.0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0

    EDIT :

     00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 100 Series/C230 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev f1)

    Oh, you have NVIDIA 10 series, the worst generation of NVIDIA card. Too old to support GSP, too new for nouveau reclocking, abandoned by NVIDIA's current drivers and stuck in boot clock hell due to signed firmware. Unfortunately the 10 series cards are just going to suck on Linux and that situation won't improve unless a miracle happens. NVIDIA's usefulness on modern Linux begins with the 20 series and GSP firmware. I had a 1080Ti, it was not a good experience.
