You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.
I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.
I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?
I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1
before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.
Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.
Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.
I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.
Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/
If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.
But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.
See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.
What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.
Thanks a bunch!
The only one pretending mistakes can’t happen is the person I replied to. Mistakes definitely can happen and no programming language is fool proof.
Continuing my car analogy, would you rather drive a car with airbags and seatbelts or one without them? Of course you can still have a fatal accident, but it’s nice to have safety features that make it as unlikely as possible.
Every car has airbags if you drive well enough. Right?
Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.
I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.
Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C
If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.
Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.

In the company I work with you can use whatever you want but I’m the only one using Linux :(
KDE has “”“tiling”“”. They called it tiling but it’s just god awful. If KDE had real automatic tiling, I would probably have sticked with it, to be honest.
I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.
I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.
I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.
Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.
I wasn’t able to set up a reverse tunnel, because I’m also under a corporate VPN :( I was able to get xfreerdp
to work, though! Maybe I can add some port-forward + tunnels and be free :P
I can use it, just not very efficiently.
Ideally, I can set port forwards/tunnels so that I can then work from my machine’s terminal.
Here’s how I got mine:
Go to the web version: https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html
In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)
Under “Resources Launch Method”, select the `Download the rdp file" radio option
Click whatever machine you want to access
The file started to download
This worked perfectly, thank you so much. Now let’s check if I can add some port forwarding through this…
In arch it’s xfreerdp3
, just in case anyone needs it.
Proton has a very nice article on how to set up torrenting: https://protonvpn.com/support/bittorrent-vpn/
If I developed a Linux app I would absolutely package it as a flatpak. If a package is in pacman, however, I see no reason to use the flatpak version instead.
It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.
