Hey, beautiful people of Linux, I need some advice. I’ve been tinkering for the past several weeks on flavours of Plasma DE on Arch and Tumbleweed on my Nvidia/Alder Lake setup. Suffice to say the experience was nothing short of getting waterboarded in Guantanamo by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity high-fiving each other while Laura Ingraham supervises.
While X11 is mostly working, I’ve basically given up on getting VA-API and Wayland to work. I’m considering getting a Beelink Mini PC with 7940HS and 780M to finally be able to daily drive a setup without compromises. Bonus points if Hyprland actually works without sketchy black market patches that you buy off a guy in the back alley behind Wendy’s.
Looking for any advice or experience anyone might have.
- Does VA-API and AV1/VP9/HEVC HW decoding in browser actually work? Any browser at all.
- Does Wayland actually work without glitches on the 780M?
- Does Hyprland work out-of-the-box, if ever?
Excellent, much thanks!
