I installed MX on an old Acer tablet/laptop Hybrid. It’s one of the few that would run due to its 32bit bootloader but 64bit system. It works fine, but I wasn’t blown away either.

Your security, is the connection to the outside world safe?

What about security? How easy is it to crack?

What codebase?

I’m not sure it would change my life. It’s a mild version so I don’t need meds, just some tools to manage it. It would cost time and money, with very little payoff.

Same, 31 now and I think I have a mild version of the inattentive type. My wife opened my mind to it, I won’t go for a diagnosis but having resources to help me improve and deal better with it are great.

I tried all of those, same issue on all of them on Brave, Chromium, and Firefox. I’ve given up hope for now, maybe with the next laptop.

3D graphics worked out of the box, but the 2D animations in the browser on any browser, any distro, any driver are super low FPS. I feel like I’ve tried everything and I cannot solve this. What’s your distro?

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX3060. When Linux can run 2D graphic animations in browsers with more than 5fps I’ll switch, but it just doesn’t work.

It may have come a long way, but let’s not pretend it’s flawless.

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.

Was it hard to set it to always use the dedicated gpu?

Dual booting PopOS seems pretty rough though, with risks to the windows installation and bootloader

Oh, that’s good to know. So I can just install x11 on my Fedora no problem whatsoever?
