Looks like Discord finally fixed Linux screen and audio sharing with Wayland
8 Dec 2024 at 2:50 am UTC

Continuing on KDE Wayland, looks like my FPS becomes unstable if I'm sharing my screen. It definitely works (haven't checked the audio yet though) but there's just a few nitpicks which would be fixed, afaik, by just waiting for them to update to the newest chromium version.

If you're using Wayland KDE, it's not yet FULLY fixed. There's a bug which was present on Vesktop where the screen will jump around when the cursor is being moved. This was fixed with the, then, latest version of chromium released around the 20th of August this year.

I'll jump from Vesktop to discord once the version of Chromium is updated.

The Elder Scrolls Online now Steam Deck Playable, to be fully Verified in "a future update"

Quoting: mZSq7Fq3qsis it any good?
Yeah it does play good. The only 'issue' which I had with the steam version of the game in the latest patches is that the launcher will cause stutter issues when it has a graphical update even if it's in the background. Simply closing it will resolve all issues.

I'm currently running the Heroic version of it (so that my GF can play Elden Ring when I'm playing ESO) and the launcher self-closes, so I've never had that issue at all there.

NVIDIA driver 525.85.05 is out now for Linux

Quoting: omer666The driver keeps needing manual recompiling of the kernel module on Fedora 37, which is pretty annoying
Couldn't you just install akmod-nvidia from rpmfusion? I'm running fedora silverblue 37 so that's basically the only way for me to install the nvidia drivers.

BUT I need to wait for the new drivers to actually be posted on the repo. I did have the issue of a passive DP->HDMI port not showing the correct refresh rates as I posted on this thread here [External Link] on the developer forums.
I am indeed using akmod from RPMFusion, the module compiles automatically but the driver can't find it. I need to pass dnf remove kmod-nvidia* and then akmods --force and reboot.
Don't you have the same problem on Silverblue?
Maybe my install is getting a bit old...
Not really and I can't either way. Because Silverblue is immutable it's probably prebuild before sending it to rpm-ostree. I have to wait for a stable atomic update/upgrade.

Usually during Nvidia version transitions I can't update my system for half a day or up to a day like now because of dependency issues.

But because of the atomic updates the current one I'm using is stable and so will be the next one when they fix out the quirks.

P.S.

You're removing kmod-nvidia*, right? I have akmod-nvidia (with an a at the start) installed which should build the kernel stuffs during udpates.

https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA [External Link], section Installing the drivers

 
sudo dnf update -y # and reboot if you are not on the latest kernel
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia # rhel/centos users can use kmod-nvidia instead
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda #optional for cuda/nvdec/nvenc support
