All of them are like that? I mean isn’t there any alternative to proprietary firmware blobs that is well not proprietary and blobed? For example for WiFi or just USB.

Ah I see. Understood, thank you for that.

Great! That’s what I wanted to read with hardware compatibility. Thanks.

I understand.

Regrading warranty I meant lifetime support for problems related to your System76 laptop. The warranty for a hardware is gone I think but I guess when you describe your issues correctly and they won’t resolve it maybe they will suggest you something friendly.

And I get your point with the case. Tbh looked like it.

Hmm do you have up-to-date firmware? I had similar issue resolved by it.

Also faulty motherboard sounds like manufacturer issue not yours.

Spreading the word about the software or that you should donate because they need it? 1st no 2nd yes

Yeah but on the other hand infrastructure costs and they need money to pay developers and so on. Using FOSS is cool and all but it’s not cheap and free of charge - at least developing it that is.

5. Why?

Hmm I have Serval WS which quality is top notch. The keyboard feels nice. The screen is 4K 144Hz. All of the elements are aluminium so there is no bending. (Except some parts like probably keycaps of the keyboard and so on).

Sorry to hear that you have this experience. However I think you can count on System76 because they give for their laptops lifetime support.

Why crappy? I have System76’s laptop and the quality is amazing.

You can also do it while having a way to stop it, it doesn’t have to be forced on the user. It’s just isolated productivity environment.

Thanks for LeechBlock as I see it’s FOSS https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG

and I will try AppArmor.

Examples?

How the same thing can be done without being seen as a malware?

Good idea, thanks.

Behaves as such but I don’t think so.

Yeah that’s idea but it will also lose some of the setup that I have right now. I wonder how hard it would he to tell the kernel not to spawn anything during session time.

Looking great! So niche that I would like to some more 'unix porns" like these.

Nice one!

Yeah I’m waiting for the RedHat’s Nova too to see it in action. This GSP doesn’t seem that bad tbh and I don’t think it’s the source of our headaches. But it looks like the future is bright for Nvidia driver Linux stack.

So NVK is succesor of Noveau while Nova being a new open source driver?

Thanks for such a detailed explanations. That’s what I meant, I would love to avoid official drivers headache that causes you to avoid recommend Nvidia. Still there are some things that you cannot avoid it. Things I have in mind are better than AMD / Intel GPU with Mesa:

• Blender
• ML / AI / CUDA and so on
• DaVinci Resolve (and other creative stuff like Blender above)
• RayTracing
• DLSS (FSR is catching up but this is #1) I would love the Nvidia support just to be stable.

for the encoding and decoding I would choose Intel. For gaming AMD as I’m currently right now with Bazzite.
