You may want to avoid NVIDIA driver 550 if you're on a laptop

Also had it crash my notebook running Arch multiple times. 2x during upgrading packages which messed up quite a lot.

Anyway, for me it was fixed by enabling the following services:

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service 
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-persistenced.service
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-powerd.service


Maybe, it helps anyone and you can like me avoid switching to the beta drivers.

This is great! What would be even better is if I could play a game with the same account on two devices simultaneously.

Like, I got two Steam Decks (OLED and LCD) and it would be awesome if I could play a game I own with a friend.

The trend looks very promising..😁

Though I'm not sure how much I trust that source. E.g. does anyone have a good reason why a huge chunk moved from macosx to windows since end of last year?

Interestingly, it seems the upward change solely comes from Ukraine:

Fedora 38 is out now with GNOME 44, official Budgie desktop spin and more

While I happily run vanilla ARCH^(btw) on my main machine, I have to say: Fedora is the new Ubuntu when it comes to supports everything out of the box (plus is way easier than Windows). Upgraded to 38 yesterday with GNOME 44.4 on my couch notebook. Quite nice! =)

Big Picture Mode
- Improved performance in Big Picture Mode when using Nvidia GPUs
Can't wait to try this later. :smile:
The new big picture mode was pretty much unusable on 4K resolution on my nVidia 3080 (mobile).

The feature I'm most embarrassed to admit that Linux is lacking. Soon^TM :smile:
