 magic_rb | Yeah it wasnt till recently ish | 09:56:21 |
 Crony Akatsuki | And don't enable nvidia driver also right? | 09:56:33 |
| magic_rb | Provided you have the firmware available (which you do) then it should just work | 09:56:43 |
| Crony Akatsuki | Because currently I ise wayland and don't have xorg module set to nvidia | 09:56:49 |
| magic_rb | (Side not, there has been discussion about unifying the two kernel space drivers so that you could run both nvidia and nouveau but it didnt materialize) | 09:57:20 |

Yeah it wasnt till recently ish I tried back in 10th month of last year last time, couldn't start couple games back then | 09:57:20 |

 niklaskorz | note that you won't get hardware accelerated video decoding in nouveau and that performance is still only like 30% of the proprietary drivers | 09:57:30 |
| niklaskorz | but besides that it's amazingly stable | 09:57:34 |
| magic_rb | 50% ish in some cases | 09:57:42 |
 K900 | 26.0 should improve NVK perf a whole lot | 09:57:49 |
| K900 | AFAIK | 09:57:51 |
| magic_rb | Did they land texture compression finally? | 09:58:04 |
| K900 | Honestly not entirely sure | 09:58:19 |

note that you won't get hardware accelerated video decoding in nouveau and that performance is still only like 30% of the proprietary drivers I don't really do hardware accelerated playback on my pc either way, I mostly just play games and manage mf fleet of servers using nixos | 09:58:26 |
| niklaskorz | yea, that's why I'm very excited to give 26 a try :D | 09:58:36 |
| K900 | I don't have any Nvidia hardware in active use | 09:58:38 |
| niklaskorz | but requires Linux 6.19 | 09:58:40 |
| K900 | So I am not really tracking NVK changes much | 09:58:52 |
| K900 | We do have 6.19 | 09:59:18 |
| K900 | Also | 09:59:18 |
| magic_rb | I stopped following the new developments, life got too busy, and i also just left discord, the queerdesktop discord was my main avenue for news | 09:59:20 |
| niklaskorz | ah rip, they disabled it for 6.19 an the fixed version will land with 7.0 | 09:59:30 |
| niklaskorz | * ah rip, they disabled it for 6.19 and the fixed version will land with 7.0 | 09:59:38 |

| K900 | I'm mostly getting my news from people randomly linking PRs on #dri-devel | 10:00:10 |

ah rip, they disabled it for 6.19 an the fixed version will land with 7.0 Off, hope the nixos kernel gets it fast | 10:00:13 |
| K900 | These days | 10:00:15 |
| niklaskorz | well not compression, but large page support | 10:00:14 |
| magic_rb | The IRC channel? | 10:00:24 |
