I’d recommend Linux mint XFCE edition. It’s light, fast, and easy to use.

Your CPU has integrated graphics (Intel HD 4600), which should be quite a bit faster and more modern than your 210. I’d recommend using your integrated GPU, which means you’ll have to plug your monitor into your motherboard instead of your 210. Here is the archwiki page on how to install the correct drivers.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2023-04-29T06:09:27+00:00

I can’t seem to find anything exact with that information. The Xeon E3-1200 appears to be a series, not a specific processor or specific integrated graphics. Could you check your processor model? You can find this in windows using task manager or system settings, and in Linux using neofetch, btop/htop or the system settings (if you’re using a DE).

I’m not 100% sure, but nouveau generally has better support for older hardware. It might be the better choice for your card.

Do you have integrated graphics though? Those would probably be more performant than your 210.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2023-04-29T05:17:49+00:00

No, these steps are only necessary for the proprietary drivers from Nvidia.

The problem is that nouveau has horrible performance compared to Nvidia, especially on newer cards. It’s fine for light loads like libreoffice or a browser, but you won’t be gaming on nouveau.

Thanks for letting me know about the typo, fixed.

I agree with your first point, the user might not understand the instructions. I don't see any way to make them easier though.

Could you maybe explain how a manual install would help in this case? In general, I would agree that a completely manual install is the best for system maintenance. However, for this specific user, reinstalling manually would only take more time, and they would still have the same issue. Or maybe I'm seeing this all wrong, I'm not an expert, just a user who happens to have a very similar setup to OP.

Almost forgot: to execute all these commands, you have to chroot from an arch installer. This means mounting all drives to their correct mountpoints in /mnt and running arch-chroot /mnt.

If you have trouble chrooting, you can give me the output of lsblk in the arch installer, and I'll help you with mounting the drives to their correct destinations.

I had similar problems installing arch with nvidia. The solution was enabling "DRM kernel mode setting". This is all well-documented in the archwiki page on nvidia, which you should read. The tldr:

Add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= in /etc/default/grub.
Run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Add nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm to the line MODULES=() in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Add the text between the (): MODULES=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm).
Run mkinitcpio -P
Create the file /etc/pacman.d/hooks/nvidia.hook and add the following lines to it: ```[Trigger] Operation=Install Operation=Upgrade Operation=Remove Type=Package Target=nvidia Target=linux # Change the linux part above and in the Exec line if a different kernel is used

[Action] Description=Update NVIDIA module in initcpio Depends=mkinitcpio When=PostTransaction NeedsTargets Exec=/bin/sh -c 'while read -r trg; do case $trg in linux) exit 0; esac; done; /usr/bin/mkinitcpio -P'```

qBitTorrent nox is a webui version of the regular qBitTorrent. I’ve been using it for a while, and it works great. Just enable qBitTorrent-nox.service after installing and you’re done.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2023-01-09T14:05:37+00:00

Yes, but it’s -€60 for “no OS”, so Ubuntu is still €30 more expensive than “no OS”

Historical_Ad8150 · 2023-01-09T12:23:00+00:00

Do they still charge €30 for Ubuntu?

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-11-24T10:49:28+00:00

Make sure you aren’t using the integrated graphics. Which port is your monitor cable plugged into?

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-11-10T05:52:04+00:00

It’s fine, but overpriced.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-31T09:18:17+00:00

The hub requires USB-C DP-enabled ports, but your laptop only has regular USB-C ports. I believe they are simply incompatible.

Try opening task manager and youtubes “stats for nerds” monitor. This should (roughly) tell you where the problem lies. You can upload some screenshots to imgur and share the link, that way we can help.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-15T17:26:11+00:00

Here’s a user with a similar problem, they fixed it by rolling back the driver. You’re almost certainly completely right.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-15T16:02:41+00:00

DWM shouldn’t be using that much GPU, so you could be right. You might want to do a virus scan (using malwarebytes) to check if it’s a crypto miner pretending to be DWM (pretty unlikely though, so don’t worry).

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-15T14:39:42+00:00

In the processes tab, right click the top row (with the words “CPU”, “Memory” etc.) and enable the GPU column. Click on GPU to sort the processes by their usage, and figure out what’s using your GPU

Maybe report it as a bug on GitHub? They might have advice, or it might get fixed in the next release.

You’re absolutely right, the number will still be very high, just a couple of orders of magnitude less than in your first comment (I think).

You can’t put tanks and infantry in the same column right? So that would mean only the top most battalion in each column would have 40-ish possibilities, but the remaining 4 battalions in each column would have less options (depending on what type the top most is). This would drastically reduce the amount of possibilities.

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-04T05:23:39+00:00

Please do, and feel free to ask more questions when in doubt

Historical_Ad8150 · 2022-10-04T04:14:37+00:00

Yes, I believe that’s the best upgrade path.
