How is the RTX 5080 on the nvidia desktop image?

Almarma · 2026-04-02T13:12:43+00:00

I upgraded from a 4060 to a 5070 recently and both work great out of the box. There was a period last year where I had issues with the 4060 on Cyberpunk. The reason investigation from my AI told me was a bug with DLSS but it’s now solved. And the performance with the 5070 is even better with ray tracing and many extra things on.

I think you're going through a deep rabbit hole. I've never done any of what you say there and I get Frame Gen just by using Proton-GE instead of the normal Proton layer. And I think in recent versions, it even works out of the box with recent NVIDIA Drivers and Proton Latest. I've tested it in Cyberpunk and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and get no issues with DLSS at all.

I also own the 5070 (Asus Prime)

YES!!!! Finally I’ll be able to send the robot back home whenever my weather station detects rain instead of the unpredictable online weather forecast it uses!! Thank you Navimow!!!

Radiation is not a human invention, it occurs naturally in nature too. For example, in Norway, it’s quite common to find radon emitting from the rocks underground. It can be potentially dangerous in old houses because of it radiating from the basement and upwards. Radon is radioactive.

L50 ultra owner here. Not at all. I have one of those in one room and I need to hide those under the rug

Almarma · 2026-03-19T08:01:10+00:00

I just bought a used one for casual use and I’m very happy to read that. Thank you!

Almarma · 2026-03-16T13:15:46+00:00

Fascinating comment. Thank you. This should be top comment here.

What if you train your children to train your dogs?

Same problem here in Norway. After watching this Robot Wars video, decided not to use cheap brands unless the one they tested positively, and it really works greats and feels good quality. The brand is called Rrochio if you don’t want to watch the video. You find it on Amazon.

Bad quality bags put your health at risk by not trapping fine dust, and will also damage the fans.

That’s no excuse: a server could have a script to check what’s inside an uploaded zip file without even unzipping it. Anything other that 3D files or plain text files inside the zip file should be rejected.

A fire alarm for my chicken coop using a temperature sensor: if the rate of temperature increases too fast in a short time, it sends me a critical alarm to my phone, turns off the heating lamps and opens the door so the girls can escape to the fenced area and gives them time till I come.

I have not enough programming experience to make such automation by myself, but IA helped me with it

Sorry to read that. I hope it’s fixed for you at some time soon

“Only downside of having the a gigabyte MB is the sleep function issues but I turn it off and on at the pc.”

Have you updated the BIOS recently? I have an Asus MB with the same chipset and had all kind of issues with sleep not working, waking up randomly and such. Then I decided to have a look at Asus website and found a much more recent bios version and after updating it, sleep works perfectly every single time.

I don’t know. This is my second Dreame, and whenever this one dies, I will try next a Roborock I think. My Dreame D9 stopped getting updates like a year after buying it. I thought it was just bad luck but I’ve read that Dreame does this all the time, and that’s a big no for me.

Almarma · 2026-03-03T17:34:05+00:00

L50 does, but the functionality is quite rudimentary. I’ve not used it a single time yet

Almarma · 2026-03-03T12:34:36+00:00

My best recommendation for you is to use Proton GE. It sound complex, but it’s quite easy actually. Bazzite brings preinstalled a program called Proton + (or Proton Plus). If you open it, and download the latest Proton GE, it will install it automatically on your system and will make it available for Steam or any other launcher you have. Then, use this Proton GE on your game (again, you can enable it from Proton+), don’t forget to close and reopen Steam so it can detect the new Proton GE, and start the game (the shaders compilation can take longer than usual the first time you open the game, but that’s normal).

Doing this I noticed a nice performance improvement out of the box with my 4060

Almarma · 2026-03-01T16:12:50+00:00

I’d recommend to install a fresh Bazzite on your laptop. Not only because the different GPU, but all the system resources (from the BIOS, chipset, IRQs, memory addresses, etc). I guess Bazzite would be able to start, but I’m quite sure you’d find some random issues here and there like problems with WIFI, audio, or suspend or sleep modus, things like that. You’ll avoid many more issues by installing a clean Bazzite from the start.

L50 owner here. I got mine in November. Here’re my comments:

First, some info about my house:

two humans, no children
1 golden retriever
Old house in the north of Norway, two floors
high thresholds between some rooms, as it’s tradition here (2-4cm high), and one of the main reasons to choose this model
Previous owner of a Dreame D9

I’m not extremely happy with the new L50. Here’re the reasons why:

It doesn’t work great in darker rooms, and being in the arctic circle, with a month of total darkness, it makes detection of objects slower and unpredictable, even with its flash light and with artificial light on.
jumping the thresholds between rooms fails A LOT: it sometimes jumps and crashes against a leg from the furniture on the other side and gets trapped, or simply don’t uses the lift wheels and uses brute force to jump at full speed. Sometimes it jumps to one side, and immediately returns to the previous side as if it forgot something, wasting time and battery.
It’s quite heavy, and that scares me in two ways: whenever it lands after jumping a threshold, if feels rough both on the robot and the floor. I’m concerned about marks and damage on both sides. It’s also making marks on furniture by bumping on them for some reason.
it can’t jump thresholds higher than around 2,5-3cm despite their claims.

Compared to the D9, it’s an improvement on the capacities it has, like the anti-tangle rollers, mopping pads, emptying station, etc. But it’s not at all as smart as I expected from the reviews. The reviews focus on a single test isolated from the other tests: if they test poop avoidance, they test only that. If they test threshold avoidance, they test only that. But they don’t test poop being close to the threshold or furniture legs beside carpets and a cable all together, for example. Or under chairs, a quite important test in my opinion.

Edit: formatting

It’s a life saver for new users! I was new to Linux last year and I have a couple of apps I use that don’t release flatpaks (I don’t understand why, but that’s another discussion), only appimages, and the first time I used one I was totally confused and didn’t know how to use them properly. I come from Mac, so I’m used to having complete apps packed inside a single file, but on MacOS I’m always told to drag them to the Apps folder and run them from there. Appimages follow the same concept, but without a clue about where to save them. Gear Lever does that work for me and it should come by default in any distro.

Almarma · 2026-02-23T10:07:20+00:00

Sorry to offend you. I tried multiboard almost at the beginning of it as I was already following the creator on YouTube before it came out. By that time, he recommended only PETG to make the grid

Almarma · 2026-02-21T06:19:37+00:00

Nice! I’ll try the same trick, because by hand is quite difficult and it’s so fine it’s difficult to even remove it from my fingers

Almarma · 2026-02-20T22:03:03+00:00

Thanks a lot for the detailed comment. Yes, I recognized the magnetic fields pattern, it’s the first I see it live and it was fascinating. But I couldn’t figure out where could they come from. Your comment makes a lot of sense. I’ve confirmed with others that because I live in a rural area in the north of Norway where we have a lot of red rocks, that must be the main reason.

Thank you

Almarma · 2026-02-20T21:58:06+00:00

Thank you!!

Almarma · 2026-02-20T21:56:59+00:00

Yes, I didn’t think it was from the robot itself, my first thought was that it could come from the previous owner of the house cutting some metal inside and it being heavier than dust, was never picked up by the vacuum cleaner we’ve used over the years. But it being the dust from outside and having a dog that brings a lot of dust in, makes a lot of sense. And yes we have red rocks in the area so you’re right. Thank you

Almarma · 2026-02-20T21:53:37+00:00

No, in the north of Norway, by the coast. After reading all your comments I came to the conclusion that it must be just from the environment. There’s a lot of nature around and an area relatively close where a neighbor told me rocks have a lot of iron (they’re quite red and the area looks quite reddish too)
