  • Arc support was added after release to Linux Kernel 6.2 and it’s steadily improved since. Older Linux distros, or “LTS” oriented distros that favour stability may still not have support for them. I know Unraid was very slow to pick up on it and I had to settle for passing the pcie device through to a VM to get it working. Intel is keen to made these viable though, and I love having the AV1 encoder from my A380.


  • That one sounds squarely on Nvidia. Any driver that uses undocumented workarounds to gain kernel level access or utilizes an access loophool for system hooks is a bad driver. I’d assume Debian, or likely more accurately the Linux kernel itself was updated following some matter of CVE that Nvidia was quietly abusing.

    Frustrating, but a good example of why those kinds of proprietary drivers are such a nightmare. You really just don’t know what techniques they’re using.



  • Yes lmao. I use it to save scratch files or random crap I haven’t yet categorized. Sometimes you’re sifting through scripts or software and are going to delete them anyways, or I’m using it as a gallery pane for images I’m sorting before moving to store somewhere more permanent. I know Gnome’s philosophy preaches a sort of importance on data management, but I’m never a fan of something that tries to make that decision for me.
