Joke’s on you. I’m still a sysadmin and doing things with my hands for years.

Switching from Mint to Arch? Best idea ever! Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah I tinkered around with it a bit yesterday. There are some tips in the hyprland wiki, talking about adding nvidia specific modules in mkinicpio that might help. Problem is that, seemingly by default, it’s using dracut. Right now that whole construct is going a bit over my head tbh.

I also tried adding those custom rules:

windowrulev2 = fullscreen,class:^steam_app\d+$

windowrulev2 = monitor DP-3,class:^steam_app_\d+$

windowrulev2 = workspace 10,class:^steam_app_\d+$

workspace = 10, border:false, rounding:false

But they don’t seem to work

I didn’t say EndeavourOS was a pain. Read it again. The combination of hardware and software is the problem, not the OS.

NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.

Serious question because I’m in the same situation of switching to LM, having a nvidia GPU. Your talking in past tense… so nouveau drivers are actually useful now? Talking HDR, Gsync and DLSS

It’s still a dual boot machine. I don’t have the time or nerve to switch over on one go. See it as a prove of concept.

Idk what exactly the issue was. I just know that switching to steam flatpak and ext4 seem to have fixed it.

After I switched go the flatpak version of steam and changed the drive from NTFS to ext4 it works. I did both at the same time so I’m not sure which ended up fixing it or if both is necessary

A few days ago there was a video from a relatively known Youtuber on here I think that sparked the idea to try to make the switch again. Mainly because I have experience with Mint and he showed how it “just works”, even with notoriously bad nvidia drivers, which I also need.

Seriously though. Seen people install Mint, and run non-Linux games through steam with no issues. I had to troubleshoot for about 8 hours so kind of make them run.

I ran into similar issues before. My plan was to install Linux on a separate M.2 so Windows won’t interfere and manually boot the OS I want to manually.

Why have I never thought about this? Dual boot and bit by bit work on feature parity while still having an OS that’s my daily driver.
