Thanks (I really mean it) and... Goodbye

I use either prime-run or DRI_PRIME=1

When Void releases a new iso with 6.18 as current and 6.12 as lts, if it’s still broken I’ll report it as a bug. I could also report it on Arch.

Worst case: switch to current kernel, just do not have good GPU acceleration.
I have a newer laptop which has a more recent supported GPU, I just prefer using this one (larger better screen) so it’s really no big deal.

Well…the forum here is one of the, if not the best, of Linux forums…Do not be a stranger & stay in touch!!!

I rebuild laptops (refurbished off of eBay) & have been seeing HP’s with newer nVidia hardware in 17.3 in showing up in the $100 to $200 range…some with touch screens & other nice bits….

I was just cruising & found this one (needs some repair—new top panel (keyboard & panel) & a battery…not very hard to do….) https://www.ebay.com/itm/365988161088

That one has a backlight keyboard…..

The ā€œbigā€ problem that the ā€œnewerā€ HP laptops have is being very weak around the screen hinges with the bottom case off…you will find lots of them with ā€œbrokenā€ screen hinge mounting areas …..

I normally get very good with Super Glue Gel & small needle-nose pliers…..if it’s one of mine….

I’ve heard good things about it. I suppose I’ve also heard bad things and indifferent things like all linux distros. There’s so many good ones to choose from today, whatever you pick will likely be great.

Update: I did a clean install of pure Arch and have the 470xx drivers installed without errors. I’d like to say they are working, but alas, glmark2 score is half that of the same on Void, so I still have some issues to sort out :frowning:

:vulcan_salute: void the gap!

After deleting Win10, I was wondering what to do with the now empty drive… and then Ganymede dropped. :slight_smile: yeah, dual boot: Void and EOS :slight_smile: I could not stay away.
