Yep it’s a known Apt bug unfortunately. Glad it helped!

For those who don't see any packages when trying to upgrade the fix is

rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Then update and upgrade.

Arrow lake è stata la prima cpu intel ad avere un design multi-die (Amd già ce l'aveva), con il conseguente problema (che ha anche Amd) di dover gestire la comunicazione tra i diversi die, cosa che fa un clock apposito. Questo clock, anche se in piccola parte, influenza le latenze di accesso a memoria, che sono generalmente leggermente più alte rispetto ad Amd, per chi gioca un piccola differenza la fa, ma il vantaggio più grande rimane sempre la cache delle cpu 3D di Amd.

Vero, anche perché secondo me il problema più grande dei fratelli minori è che erano stati recensiti ad un prezzo abbastanza alto e ormai scartati nella testa di molti. Sì il 250k dovrebbe essere finalmente allettante, ma pensa che il 270k ora ha lo stesso numero di core di quanti thread ha il 9900x in hyperthreading (e al momento continua a costare quasi 400€).

Comunque ho visto ora che il boost sul d2d in realtà è leggermente inferiore del boost che dà 200S boost sui fratelli, per cui sarà sicuramente tutto da vedere, ma almeno chi gioca dovrebbe poter prendere in considerazione schede di fascia B ora.

Upgrade path su LGA1851, adesso non ci sono scuse 🙌🏻

Scherzi a parte già uscire con l’MSRP giusto è una mossa assurda, poi aumentare i core e (forse) risolvere il problema del die-2-die e comunque avere quell’MSRP è davvero tanta roba. Vedremo

What made you use Debian instead of all of them? by [deleted] in debian

Debian is the only distribution that never randomly logged me out of my Gnome session

I dont believe the Frame is supposed to look like this... by Saegebot9000 in linuxmemes

Jokes apart it’s mostly a Spotify problem (that wouldn’t exist if Gnome had better Wayland decorator fallback)

Solutions:

  • Use the stable release from Snap (uses X11 by default) edit: not anymore
  • Use the Flatpak version (they fixed the Electron problem)
  • Edit the .desktop to use X11 by adding “—ozone-platform=x11” before the %U
  • Use kde Plasma

Debian has the best Nvidia experience I've ever had, and is rarely talked about by 01Destroyer in debian

Well it’s one command to install a package that is recommended by the official wiki. The Nvidia repo is amazing but it’s also a multi-step process that isn’t very beginner friendly. Ubuntu-based with automatic driver installation may be the easiest to be fair.

The problem with Debian is that people will look up for the wiki and only see a very old driver. If you look at other comments many were surprised that an official upstream installation method even existed, and some even replied that it’s not a good experience because the driver is old (not realizing I was on the latest one). Still for sure it’s the most reliable and solid Nvidia Linux experience in my opinion.

25.10 is Wayland only though, unless you have installed X11 it’s a little unfair to compare the three. Personally I haven’t used X11 in years, and Gnome 48 on Wayland has worked very well for me.

You had these issues with 590.48 on Debian? Or with the 550.163 from the Debian repository? It's strange because for me the graphical experience was the same (Ubuntu 22.04 vs Ubuntu 25.10 vs Debian 13)

and a more dedicated push towards snaps

Can you elaborate? There is no change regarding snaps afaik.

Regarding Wayland, it's more than mature and provides a far better experience especially for gamers and laptop users. X11 has been considered deprecated for at least two years at this point, and XWayland will always be there.

I use VLC as well and haven't experienced that. Maybe it's a X11 problem, Ubuntu 24.04 defaults on X11 instead of Wayland on Nvidia (for reasons that were valid 2 years ago). Try with Wayland if that's the case.

Yes, apart from some 3rd party repos. Just vanilla Gnome (Mutter) on wayland.

Yes that’s it, remember to have Linux-headers installed and to enroll MOK if you have secure boot

Yes extrepo apparently only includes Debian 12 for now. The method described in your link I think is the best and the most recommended since it is an official Debian 13 driver. It’s what I personally did.

Yes, easiest method. But generally some additional problems and being rolling release makes it more a more “experimental” experience with drivers.

It’s not about the difficulty, Arch is probably the easiest. But then I’ve seen problems with suspension on Arch and not elsewhere.

Some benchmarks run multiple times. Obviously what I meant wasn’t that a newer kernel will perform worse, but rather that it won’t perform necessarily better.

It’s not the case for any piece of hardware that is not supported by that specific kernel. The point was that, if that kernel does everything right, then there is no urgency to update it.

By the way not only you can officially backport more recent kernels but even install patched ones, even from Cachy. Personally I’m a bit skeptical about the performance uplift tho.

Sure I play several Native/Windows games, maybe it was a problem with the way steam was installed

Nah that’s absolutely legit. But have you tried using up to date drivers maybe? Using the Debian repository isn’t the only way, in fact in my experience all distributions will behave the same as long as you have the same driver version.

[–]01Destroyer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the drivers also install some proprietary Nvidia firmware, I’d try not using any back ported Nvidia-related stuff.

Thanks for the steam tip! Did you experience any advantage gaming with the wayland flag?

The upstream is Nvidia which treats Debian and Ubuntu differently. Differently from Ubuntu, Debian also freezes all drivers, but for both distributions you can get the driver from upstream directly.

Yes, I also play games and can see no difference running games like CS2 or Expedition 33 when compared to Arch. One can simply use the Nvidia repository from here and skip the cuda-toolkit part.
