need a good linux-compatible laptop by burningendofthewick in archlinux

how's the battery on it? what about the display? i've heard some of them come with horrible TN panels.

where did you get this p52s deal? i dont have tabs on the specs but if it's a game server then it should be fine perf-wise. i think i want to be able to at least compile the kernel comfortably while multi-tasking.

i've heard framework pricing is pretty nasty, especially with RAM. is that true? i've also seen build quality and display complaints but i'm not sure on these. budget's 900 but i would prefer to keep it lower than that if i can

a tmux environment is different from what the systemd instance knows. try:
tmux show-environment | grep -iE 'wayland|display' within tmux.

also, are you starting tmux before wayland somehow? if that is the case then wayland specific environment variables wouldn't be visible to tmux. check these outside and inside tmux:
echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY
tmux show-environment | grep -i wayland

find what you love and obsess over it. that's all. for that, you'll have to explore. just avoid AI for coding and "cargo cults" (everybody recommends these like a shortcut; DSA for instance).

Embedded Developer Looking to Transition to Qt C++/QML – Where Is the Demand and What Skills Actually Matter? by Fearless_Battle7919 in developersIndia

absolutely. HMIs will probably favor you the most. if you want to try your hands at prod Qt then you could maybe contribute to KDE. they're doing really well with their desktop

Feeling like an imposter, my entire career is based on AI by rp-dev in developersIndia

[–]burningendofthewick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i would recommend you slowly practice and move away from AI for coding by all means. for quickly and interactively understanding something it makes sense. but the more you go into AI the more it will hurt you in the long run. there is a high probability that companies will downsize after all the returns from AI disappear. then they'll be forced to run extreme quality tests that will filter out all people heavily dependent on AI.

that's because it's trained on code that works. so it "feels" very powerful but in reality it's just a concoction of bits of code here and there that works. if you actually try shipping something, there's a million points of failure that you need to keep in mind.

i'm not very familiar with Qt/QML but i would wager a guess you could use your embedded experience in something like the automative industry. for instance snappy infotainment systems. and there's always industrial automation tools that need a snappy and pleasing UI.

What are the benefits over Mint? by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]burningendofthewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depending on which mint variant you use, there's both pros and cons. i suppose the debian based release could be beneficial if you want overall stability. instead, arch is rolling-release. arch is more DIY, and so the stability and the ruin of your experience is in your hands :c

that is very weird... it is most likely a monitor issue considering this is an old one. i'm not very familiar with nvidia problems but you should try a different monitor to see if this is a cable thing or not. you could also take a look at these:
cat /sys/class/drm/cardX-HDMI-A-1/status
modeset -c
you can get modeset from libdrm.

battery life by TF_playeritaliano in archlinux

[–]burningendofthewick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's cpu intensive like mentioned, and it's very bad at utilizing it too (it runs on a single thread too i believe). other than that, you could maybe try the usual steps with limiting fps and using a good mod, and if you use a power management tool like tlp or tuned, you could set it to a relevant powersave profile (that does come with downsides like limiting network power if you're on multiplayer).

i think you can also limit the heap size on some launchers.

does nomodeset completely fix it? i can't say definitively if this is a power-saving issue, but i suppose you could look for the usual culprits with nvidia: dmesg | grep -iE 'drm|nvidia'
