Not to be that guy but why not use Curve25519?

I still remember all the conspiracies surrounding NIST and now 25519 is the default standard.

In 2013, interest began to increase considerably when it was discovered that the NSA had potentially implemented a backdoor into the P-256 curve based Dual_EC_DRBG algorithm.[11] While not directly related,[12] suspicious aspects of the NIST's P curve constants[13] led to concerns[14] that the NSA had chosen values that gave them an advantage in breaking the encryption.[15][16]

There's plenty of videos on YouTube of people trying Linux for the first time, and it can be painful to watch how poorly they try to fix something or unintentionally break their system.

That's not to say windows is any better, because they'd do the same thing there.

But people will only switch permanently if windows really falls off hard, which may or may not happen.

You have to think of it like how people first learned to use a mouse and double click back in the 90s. It's not immediately intuitive for everyone, they often have to start over.

That being said, having a big OEM ship linux would do wonders, but Microsoft fights hard to make sure that almost never happens.

Yeah that means the driver is loaded fine, but it looks like it is selecting the iGPU by default. You have several options to fix this.

1. You can disable integrated graphics in the bios if there is an option for it. This is the easiest, but if you're on a laptop, leaving it enabled might save some battery in which case goto 2.

2. You can tell either each program or the OS to prefer the Nvidia GPU. The way you do this also depends on how the gpu is set up (most laptops have it as secondary)

You can test this by running __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxgears in one terminal, and nividia-smi in a second terminal to verify a program (in this case glxgears) is running on the nvidia gpu.

I'll try to find a good guide, but depending on the setup, it could be a simple MUX switch you can flip to change between iGPU and Nvidia GPU, or with the use of some preference selector tool (I think it was called prime?).

It's confusing because lots of laptops essentially use the Nvidia GPU as offload which makes it a bit tricky to coaxe it into using the correct one.

What is the output of "modinfo nvidia"?

From your output it looks like the driver is loaded, it might just be the game/OS selecting the wrong GPU by default.

stair dismount anyone?

Ah yes Reuters. Definitely a terrorist media outlet for sure.

I like how the top video is actually a normal video but the thumbnail makes it look like a meme post lol

I hope some OEM (especially those opposed to google) picks up and develops mainline linux like Pine Phone. There are already several mobile UXs and distros with prebuilt images available as well, and it has been shown multiple times that Android apps can run fairly easily on linux. It would be a big risk, but I think it'd at least find a market success like the Steam Deck.

Android in its current state is the same as Chromebooks. A glorified walled garden of google's crappy choices & DRM which just so happens to run on the Linux kernel because it's free. People downvote me for this, but I maintain that even Dalvik and the android runtime itself is an inefficient relic of 10+ years ago when mobile devices had at most 2gb of ram and a tiny low power ARM processor.

It runs like complete crap sometimes on modern devices despite huge advancements in the underlying tech. It feels like a knockoff JVM which is already a known memory hog.

On top of that, it sticks with single kernel releases with proprietary OEM binaries so you have devices out here running on kernels as old as 3.x because no custom ROM will be able to recompile the device modules for a newer kernel.

It is almost hilarious to me that Moonshell, a multimedia homebrew software for the Nintendo DS (4mb of RAM), has more complete features, file compatibility, and better UI design than at least 95% of the music apps on Google Play. And it was written by literally one guy. I was honestly surprised at just how many music players lacked functionality as basic as supporting m3u playlists.

any second now...

aaaaaaaaannny second now..........

This would be funny if it happened to Nvidia.

Hope Intel recovers from this. Imagine if Nvidia was the only consumer hardware manufacturer…

Lol there was a reason Xbox 360s had a whopping 54% failure rate and every OEM was getting sued in the late 2000s for chip defects.

This never gets old lol
