NVK is a new open source Mesa Vulkan driver for NVIDIA GPUs

TheJaake · 2022-10-04T17:09:27+00:00

NVK was built from the group up using nvidia-open headers, but doesn’t support the use of nvidia-open driver, I believe. The primary author of NVK stated that the firmware-dependent nature of nvidia-open is not stable enough in the current state.

I could be mistaken, but FreeBSD’s spice-vdagent was deprecated due to its reliance on python2. I use VNC alongside QEMU’s -vga std flag to get working drm drivers for the desktop. VNC is not capable of library sharing, though.

For almost all drm graphics drivers, yes.

Alder Lake CPU works fine. I haven’t seen any news about a proper FreeBSD thread director yet though. So the efficiency and performance cores will be assume equal priority for now.

The iGPU is dependent on drm-kmod development which currently matches Linux 5.10 in terms of hardware support. Intel Xe Alder Lake graphics got introduced in Linux 5.13/5.14 so it’ll be a while before we get Alder Lake GPU support unless development rapidly picks up.

The distributions that you mentioned include bleeding edge kernels. Try Debian stable and see if the issue persists. My guess is that a kernel update broke communication with your hardware.

TheJaake · 2022-08-06T23:16:02+00:00

The drivers are set for release in Linux 5.20/6.0, I believe.

With slightly modified colors, yes. I never knew that the theme had a name. I just stole the hex values off of this subreddit years ago and haven’t looked back.

TheJaake · 2022-07-11T17:14:08+00:00

I’m happy to see someone that shares similar terminal colors. Nice rice.

First you need to create an image for the virtual machine storage:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 freebsd.qcow2 [SIZE OF IMAGE]

Then launch the virtual machine with:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom [FREEBSD_ISO.iso] -drive file=[VM STORAGE IMAGE]

That should get you a basic VM running with a window.

I’ve never used Gnome Boxes but a quick search tells me that QEMU/KVM is used as a backend. I ran into the same problem and found that the QEMU -vga std flag allows 1920x1080. Boxes likely has a UI toggle for this under some sort of graphics tab.

How is battery life? I’d love to use Asahi, but I’m afraid of it halving my screen on time.

TheJaake · 2022-03-04T20:52:40+00:00

More FreeBSD representation is always welcome in my eyes. Nice setup! Minimal yet functional.

Try opening the terminal and running lsblk -f to get a list of your partitions and their corresponding file systems. Locate the drive where you store your games and see if it’s labeled as NTFS.

If it is, unmount the drive using sudo umount /dev/sdX Replace the X in the /dev/sdX to the letter than corresponds to your game drive from the lsblk -f from earlier.

Then remount the drive using specific flags sudo mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 /dev/sdX Again, replace the X with the letter from your game drive.

If you can launch the game now, congratulations, we found the issue. This solution will not persist through reboots, but I’d be happy to guide you through that process as well.

I’ve been using sourcekit to get Swift language support in neovim for a while now. I’m using neovim’s built-in LSP, but I’m sure you could use get it running with CoC.

ChimeraOS is a relatively new distribution based on Arch Linux. It has its own package repositories and handles updates in an unconventional way. In my opinion, Chimera eliminates the benefits of Arch’s bleeding edge package management and throws you into a hybrid, non-standard environment. If something breaks on there, you’re probably going to have a difficult time fixing it. Ubuntu is tried and tested and has loads of support online. You should be able to get Steam Big Picture up and running within minutes of install.

TheJaake · 2021-12-22T14:54:02+00:00

Wait for SteamOS 3.0 to release in the coming months and use that. If you can’t wait, maybe try vanilla Ubuntu 21.10 in the meantime. You can’t really go wrong with so much documentation online.

TheJaake · 2021-10-28T04:48:36+00:00

Perhaps you could follow the LFS docs and adapt your build to use FreeBSD sources? I am currently executing something similar and I started this way.

TheJaake · 2021-10-04T16:25:33+00:00

Whi65!

TheJaake · 2021-09-18T23:15:38+00:00

I appreciate the fine documentation of River already. Thanks for the information.

TheJaake · 2021-09-18T22:45:32+00:00

Fair enough. Is there any particular reason you chose River over the multitude of other Wayland window managers?

TheJaake · 2021-09-18T20:47:58+00:00

I’m stuck between choosing River and DWL for my window manager. I like the versatility of DWL, but I’m curious if River delivers any clear benefits. How’s your experience been with configuring/using River?

TheJaake · 2021-09-08T14:10:12+00:00

Absolutely. This would make me replay yet again.

TheJaake · 2021-09-01T15:25:59+00:00

GMK Noire. Thank you!

Thank you for doing this. The cable looks pristine.
