Yes.
Actually I tried after my third installation (without dualboot) cuz I wanted to try first another distro just to understand if I had same problems or not (I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk more about that).
I was referring to Nobara. I had pretty munch an out of box experience so nvidia drivers were working fine.
Yeah I had “Nvidia only mode” on but it doesn’t look like it is working correctly.
I followed that guide but I had no luck. I then tried some stuff but I ended up running a snapshot dated before me following the guide.
I’m not an expert but I think we should focus more on the nvidia drivers not properly working instead of the optimus stuff.
Well I guess Linux is not ready yet for normal people with a little bit of knowledge.
You have all my support and I’m hoping to see major improvement next year.
GL!
GNU/Linux and Open Source is ready for everyone, no matter their level of knowledge.
The main problem lies with companies that do not offer cross-platform software and only support Windows - and with manufacturers that do not offer open source drivers for their hardware. As a kernel hacker, try to implement this proprietary nvidia shit cleanly… and even if you do, the next nvidia driver update will cause problems with the kernel modules again^^
Nobara goes his own (and more complicated) way. They patch their kernel themselves to offer the best possible gaming experience - e.g. nvidia-patches and asus-linux-patches ← especially for “your” Asus laptop
If Nobara runs without problems for you, then use it.
Nobara gave me no problem with graphic drivers but still couldn’t make my built in speakers work.
I tried to launch 2 platinum games and only one of them worked. Why is that? You might tell me to do a bunch of tricks etc. but then why would it be defined as “platinum” on protonDB?
Platinum in my world should mean plug and play and still I couldn’t find a solution to make it work.
So by saying “Linux is not ready yet” I mean every aspect of it.
We know it boots.
Maybe you would prefer me saying “is not ready yet to replace the ease of use of Windows”.
Some hardware is designed for slapping Windows on the mobo and shoving it out the door, nothing more. If manufacturers are sloppy with the spec or proprietary blobs are needed for hardware enablement, it will be more difficult to get Linux running on it.
So you bought hardware with bad Linux support, but it’s Linux at fault? You wouldn’t expect Windows to run on a Macbook, but Linux is somehow supposed to support every possible laptop iteration without any configuration needed?
This is like showing up with a screwdriver to put 100 nails in the wall, then saying “These nails suck, I can’t believe you guys think these nails are actually good.”
Most of us have exactly the out-of-box experience you are describing. The kernel alone supports most hardware. Hardware with bad Linux support can typically still be made to work, but will require additional configuration effort. It’s up to you if you want to get Linux working on that laptop or not.
By the way, Nvidia drivers are in a bad spot in general since about 6.6. It’s not just you having problems with Nvidia right now. Take a look at the other posts in the forum; it is mostly Nvidia issues recently.
I deliberately didn’t answer because with this statement he confirmed that he didn’t understand anything at all. And as long as people believe that Windows is the default, they can’t get out of that mindset. They don’t know anything else and are unable to learn anything new because they live in a bubble. Linux ist not Windows.
And motherboard manufacturers who get into bed with Microsoft to add “security features” to a bloated “operating system” that has more bugs than lines of code…and then nvidia…I’ll leave it. I haven’t bought nvidia for a long time, regardless of the operating system, and now I ignore topics with nvidia problems.
And if anyone thinks that I find this Microsoft monoculture, the lack of commercial software for GNU/Linux and the low distribution of Linux bad: NO.
My greatest interest is that it stays that way.
(so it’s not completely OT: the OP’s display server doesn’t load an nvidia module…what a surprise^^)
For sure it’s not my fault if the hardware is not compatible yet. I watched a video showing how beautiful Linux is, I installed it, it is not properly working. That’s it.
I don’t know why is it that hard to understand what I meant. I genuinely wish that some day I’ll woke up knowing Linux is dominating Windows.
5 years go I had an Hackintosh in dual boot with windows perfectly working and I’ve been testing custom Roms for android for years until my device broke so I’m definitely not living in a bubble.
I’m glad you have time to mess up and learn new things, I only have one computer to work with and because of that I cannot spend more time fixing stuff than actually using my pc. Also, because there’s apperantly not a solution for my case, I don’t see why I need to stuck with Linux.
With that said you still complain about my statement.
Linux is working for y’all? Good, it’s not on my end.
Can I say Linux is not ready for cases like mine and many others (considering also what I said with ProtonDB)?
Is it Linux fault? Not really.
Even if it is not it’s fault, is it ready for everyone, every component and every game/software? No, it will be.
I’ll repeat again. I’m keeping an eye on Linux world hoping to wake up some day reading “Linux is the main OS”. I may have faced many issues with Linux, but I extremely enjoyed everything I could use. Garuda’s developers did a great job over the years and I’m looking foward to try out this distro again in the near future (hopefully).
That sounds a little bit different, so I assume we misunderstood you.
I don’t know of any Max-Q owners who can use the card under Linux without problems, only reports of unresolved problems with it.
Nobara runs without any problems, except the internal speakers. The sound should be output via the nvidia card, which first indicates that there are problems with the nvidia driver. But it could also be a problem with the sound server. Have you asked about the problem in the Nobara forum?
As for Garuda: Windows dual boot is not the problem. The fact that you are trying the mainline kernel is actually a good thing in your case, as it contains code for the latest hardware.
The problem with you is that the nvidia kernel driver is installed but the display server does not recognize the card. X11 doesn’t even try to load the nvidia module. What is also noticeable: with the AMD-IGPU, the amdgpu module should actually be loaded and not modesetting. Can you disable iGPU in UEFI?
Go to /var/log/ and open the Xorg.0.log with an editor. Copy the entire content to https://bin.garudalinux.org/ and post the generated link here.
Switch to wayland to test (you can select it on the login screen) and post the output of this wayland session from
I guess so, most likely it’s because of my English. Sorry about that.
Actually for my understanding it may be something related to realtek audio drivers not properly being set up. This issue happened either in Garuda and Nobara.
I found this guide that would hopefully help next time I’ll have a chance to install Linux again.
No, I installed Nobara just to see what worked and what not.
Can confirm that
Actually there’s an option in UEFI about iGPU but it doesn’t really seem to disable it. Check this, it looks quite similar to what I have in bios.
For the rest, I’m really sorry but as of right know I returned to Windows. I have work to do and also I’ll be requested to use Adobe software (I read online that people runs it with wine and similar, don’t know if it is actually true).
I should be able to try again in dual boot during the holidays. I also have a cousin that have been using Linux for over a year now so maybe we can manage to work it out.
Thank y’all for the help tho. We keep in contact.
Switching off the iGPU (which is possible on some laptops) was only intended for troubleshooting.
Personally, I think that arch and arch-based distributions are not suitable for most beginners and those switching, simply because of rolling release. You need some knowledge to understand and solve problems. And if these are not available, the willingness to embark on a steep learning curve (and yes, that is also a question of time). If the 3 points are not present, then a “normal” Linux distribution is much more suitable. I don’t mean this personally against you but in general (don’t misunderstand me ).
I would recommend that you continue with Nobara for now and solve the audio issue, that shouldn’t be a problem.
You wouldn’t expect Windows to run on a Macbook, but Linux is somehow supposed to support every possible laptop iteration without any configuration needed?
