Nvidia with open source driver

Rommers around the internet has told me that nvidia is slowly getting ready publis documentation for their graphics cards and make open source drivers. Mainly because of the competition from AMD.
Is there any merit to those rommers ?

Manjaro 18.1 and GPU usage (too high)

Hi!

I was just testing live media Manjaro 18.1 and was very pleased with xfce 4.14 and the FINALLY Vsync solution out of the box they implemented. I tested with nvidia drivers using a gtx 1080.

The problem was when I tested youtube and get it to fullscreen at my tv as second monitor. The GPU usage skyrocket achieving 48%!!! Even the coolers started just to play a FHD video at 4k screen.

Then I started the live media with KDE and get the same situation.

Any ideas what's causing this? That's not normal.


Edit: Noticed that my 18.0 install with KDE also shows this behavior... That's definitelly not normal... anyone knows how to fix?

Some files not mounting with external hard drive?

I just reinstalled Mint on my lap top and the last time I pulled all my music off an external hard drive onto my laptop just fine. This time though some of the files think they aren’t mounted and I can’t copy them. Specifically all of my music and a folder called “downloads” that has a bunch of music and videos in it. Other downloaded video content in other folders on the hard drive are working fine though.

It just bugs me out that on my previous install, none of this happened. Anyone else ever experienced this? What can be done?

Package management for audio production in Ubuntu is a nightmare

Al I want is a low-latency audio system that lets me use SuperCollider and Haskell. I've had it working a few times in the past, with the help of the KXStudio repositories, but I always end up with conflicts, and KXStudio has been frozen for a year. I hear good things about NixOS, although the learning curve looks steep; does anyone use that for music? Is there some other system with a package manager that just works?

(Lately apt reports that jackd2 conflicts with jack-daemon, but jack-daemon is a virtual package, and the last time I tried to uninstall one of those it destroyed my window manager spectacularly. Meanwhile SuperCollider won't install because the Ableton Link library, which I don't even want to use, says it wants asio.hpp, even though ASIO is a Windows-specific library.)

Help! Steam doesn't recognize my hard drive!

Today I finally switched from Windows to Linux, but I have a problem. I want to install games in my hard drive because my SSD is only 128GB, but when I go to settings>downloads>steam library folders and I click to add a new library folder I can't find the hard drive. It only shows me "/" wich is the name of my SSD. Does anybody know how to fix this?

HP Spectre x360 15 (2019) with Linux?

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with recent HP spectre models and Ubuntu. I've had my eye on the HP Spectre x360 15-df1550nd because of the combination of gpu, display and touchscreen.

I've read that spectres usually have problems with the four speakers, the fingerprint sensor and the microphone.
The biggest problem I'm having with the current HP laptop I'm using is not able to use the HDMI port when the nvidia card is disabled. This is most likely due to the HDMI port being connected to the GPU.

I'm having trouble finding recent info on these devices.
If anybody has experience with these devices and Linux I would like to ask them if these issues I mentioned are still issues with recent kernel/distros and/or if new issues have emerged with the newer models.

I'm currently using Ubuntu though I'm open to using different distro's if they work better.

Idea for a "Touch Bar" for the Linux Desktop

I was looking at the dbus, and found that most KDE and Gnome applications, allow their toolbar actions to be controlled using it. This got me thinking, what if there was a small program, that figured out applicable applications and services on the dbus (like the active window), and sent them, along with an icon name from the freedesktop icon naming specification ([https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html](https://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html)), to different UIs (gtk, qt5, an Arduino, etc.) touch bar like programs.

Are there any glaring problems with this? Is this something people want? Thank you for reading.

Elementary OS: Questions from absolute beginner

Hello world!

I have been fiddling around the general topic of computer systems lately and have been wondering about the topic of Linux and its many distros.

After doing some research I have set upon ElementaryOS as the distro I'd most likely use, probably due to its resemblance with macOS, which I've been using.

I have some questions about the specific distro. Please bear in mind I'm an absolute beginner to more sophisticated aspects of software and I'd like it if potential terminology could be shortened or explained to me.

• Learning curve? Is it relatively easy for the average user who's looking for an alternative from the big two (win / mac) or is it better for more nuanced users?

• Can it be dual-booted on an Apple device like a MacBook as with Windows?

• Privacy? I've read its privacy policy and it seems pretty promising but I'd like some further opinions.

• How many "mainstream" applications are available for it in general (can I run Steam, Minecraft or Photoshop, for example?) and how can I use an application built for another OS within Elementary? I've heard of winewrapper but I'd like some more information for it.

Thank you for your assistance!
