I buy DVDs, Blu-ray, and UHD DVDs all the time. Try the thrift store, then Amazon, then eBay.

And those don’t even have fans constantly replenishing their air supply.

In that moment, that guy was cooler than I’ll ever be.

I just watched an amazing video about the creation of the blue LED and it’s a true story of triumph.

I didn’t know he has been in any other movies.

If by “hated” you mean “wanted to bang” then yeah.

it appears its your cake day so happy cake day!

Yaaay! Wow, a year already? Crazy.

Cool. Thanks! I’ll try that.

Thanks! I’m on Arch. I actually tried X11 last night after posting and it seems to fix the glitch. I’ll see if there’s a driver update for me. I appreciate the advice!

Thanks. I verified and I’m on 6.1. I forgot I ran a system update a couple days ago.

Probably those Texans who want to visit pornhub.

Did 1984 call again?

Many times.

Or left a grocery bag on the ground.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who can extrapolate from available information.

Where do rabbits buy bees?

Was it the video where they lifted a chicken coup up with a crane? I saw that on Reddit a couple years ago and it was insanity! Hundreds of rats came pouring out and like 10 different dogs went running in, chased all the rats down, and demolished them.

I’m saying that it doesn’t work. At least not without some pretty serious bugs. Perhaps there are some magic fixes out there that I haven’t found, or perhaps I have some taboo combination of hardware, but so far I haven’t been able to fix the visual and latency bugs that are present with KDE Plasma and an Nvidia GFX card. I’ve followed the wiki thoroughly, and some instructions on some forum threads, but none of it helped.

There’s a learning curve for sure. A lot of the tutorials on YouTube aren’t very helpful. Some are downright awful. This guy’s channel really helped it click for me. You can just start by following his lessons and at some point it’ll click and then you can start designing really basic stuff like drawer organizers, which are essentially just cubes, and then work your way up from there. It does take time though.

Edit: I just tried X11 and it seems a lot more stable. I didn’t have time to play a game, but I checked a few things that were causing flickering before and they weren’t flickering. On the login screen at the top left, pick x11 from the first drop down and then log in. Hopefully that works for you.

Original message below: If you installed your steam games on a separate partition. Otherwise unfortunately not. You can switch DEs without losing them though. The guy above this said that x11 KDE might fix the issue, and a new version of Plasma might also fix it. Check his comment. Overall though if you want a hands off experience then Pop is going to be a way better introduction to Linux than Arch. Although… Pop uses Gnome. So you would have to change the DE. There are some other distros that are pretty plug and play like Kubuntu or Mint that use KDE. I don’t think they’re as dialed as Pop, and IDK their Nvidia driver situation though, so check that before deciding.

Edit: I just checked and I’m already on kDE Plasma version 6.1. And KDE Frameworks version 6.3. I wonder, do I need to undo some of the settings I made for KDE by following the Wiki if 6.1 was supposed to fix it?

I’ve thought about switching to x11 instead of going back to Gnome, but I haven’t decided yet. HDR is definitely not worth all of these other visual glitches and latency, so I need to do something. I don’t understand how the system can perform so poorly and be considered stable enough to be the default. At least half the people out there are probably using Nvidia cards.

Is there anything I should know before I switch to x11? Like, do I need to undo all these custom settings I made for the Nvidia driver, or use another driver? I’d appreciate the advice since this is one issue I’ve encountered that is definitely not resolved by reading the wiki.
