I was able to purge nvidia drivers through apt, and install manually. Also able to keep prime-select to enable gpu offload and power savings, so that's good.

I was kind of hoping this driver might have an impact on Wreckfest performance, and it looks like it definitely did - so the D:E fix might have an impact on other games too.

Is there a PPA for beta drivers in Ubuntu? I've relied on packaged driver for so long I've forgotten the basics

Why do so many laptop photos have the laptop screen flat back like that? I don't understand the purpose.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyLooking at that prototype . . . OK, so on a normal keyboard the spacebar is too long, I'll buy that up to a point. But, maybe my eyes are getting old here, on that prototype I can't see a spacebar at all, which isn't really an improvement. Like, down where the spacebar would be I'm seeing alt, shift, backspace, ctrl. So is one or more of those blue and orange things supposed to be "space"? I don't want to be hitting "space" with my pinky!
Also not sure if I'm seeing an "enter" key.
Still, I'll be interested to see a later prototype.

No, those two split keys where space was are meant to be assignable - so maybe you want backspace on the left and space on the right of the split (as opposed to what they are labelled as.

I think they will need to try and poll everyone for a reasonable layout to pick out what keys would be what, and offer a set of keycaps so they can be labelled.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIt's be too late to put this in the upcoming Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa"), right?

Do you reckon they'll provide an update to this version of GNOME in the near future, for users of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ("Focal Fossa")? Some of that new functionality looks mighty handy...

If you install a 20.04 Ubuntu ISO right now, you'll have 3.35.91 or higher (beta release) with 3.36 due in the next week or so. I have 20.04 installed right now, and wow, it's a game changer.

... Some of the comments here are why I refrain from interacting with large parts of the Linux community.

It's fine to voice criticism, but don't be a twat about it, yeah?

Quoting: Guest"combines chiplets and hybrid 2.5D and 3D die stacking to deliver more than a 10x increase in bandwidth density"= Big gaming APUs. At last. This is what i have been waiting for, big fscking APUs able to game properly at 1080p plus gpgpu without latency!

Heck yes! I look forward to having a small cube PC which is almost all mini-ITX mobo and a heatsink. Though it's more likely to look like a shoebox with the power supply included.

Oh wow. I seem to remember they did Cyber Knights as a mobile game first, maybe a decade ago? Is was a while ago for sure. Good game too.
