Is playing with Nvidia became stable?

[Vlad55432]

I just had one day ago glibc pthread crash (even after update), not sure about how about others

[km9l]

nvidia users often has more problems than other users but its 'usable'

[JimBimBum]

I'm Mostly curious what the differences are in the way it attempts to use vulkan as before on wine there were none of these issues with robox's built in vulkan when changing Fflags to use it. though did make everything kinda shiny before. also curious if it's possible to pass through DX calls if possible since linux has DXVK native. yes games have been crashing left and right but are game specific from what i can tell.

the android build doesnt have directx which is a windows api

[JimBimBum]

i know it doesn't but if valve can somehow put dxvk into their linux ports of games, there might be some trace of dx still in the android apk of roblox leftover. i assume they don't just remove it on compile but they can't exactly execute either cause ya know Android.

I can update, that for my machine sober became half stable, still noticing segfaults D:

[Vlad55432]

Tunis so cooked, that it became fully stable for my system for 2 days! Yay!

It's actually funny how I get explicit sync (sort of an NVIDIA issue) crashes but I cannot actively debug it because it's so random and running it through terminal make it even rarer.

I've been using it since day 2 of it releasing with an RTX 3070 and have never had problems except one singular crash lmao

[ArchUser02]

Yes, but with X11

I'm using it with an old Geforce 2060+Wayland on KDE Neon, and generally it runs fine! There is one regular glitch, where sometimes it seems to flicker between the current frame and back a few frames ago, but even when it does this it's still perfectly playable.

kde neon?

[Bugsbane]

Yes, it's a derivative distro of Ubuntu LTS, maintained by the KDE folks with the latest KDE packages:

[ydrk]

i know what it is it's just it's more of kde's testing lab than a distro meant for actual use, and also its support for only nouveau is a big turnoff

[Bugsbane]

There are two versions of Neon and I think you may be thinking of the other one. The User Edition is entirely a stable, end user focused distro. It uses the long term support version of Ubuntu and only the stable release of KDE. It is fully tested before release like other end user distros. This is what I am using.

KDE Neon Testing Edition though, is a rolling release using nightly compiled versions of all packages. Yes this is used for testing, but it's not what I'm using.

You can see both here:
https://neon.kde.org/download

Also Neon does support Nouveau (maybe Testing Edition doesn't?). I'm using the proprietary Nvidia drivers myself, and I definitely didn't manually install them, beyond picking a package from the package manager.

[ydrk]

no im thinking of it in general, it is generally a kde testing lab, the user edition i wouldnt consider exactly stable as its a stable base with bleeding edge kde but thats up to your interpretation

also about drivers:

nvidia+x11 user here, sober works fine for me
