Technology@lemmy.world•Jensen Huang: Israel has become Nvidia’s second homeEnglish
201·7 days agoNVIDIA handles hardware design and software components, TSMC handles actual silicon manufacturing, and a third party handles assembly. This is the case for nearly all hardware companies outside of Intel, Samsung, and a few domestic companies in the PRC.
Fortunately most of these tutorials have copy/paste fields that list out the contents of each command in plain text so you can make sure you know what you are running. Although unfortunately there’s no easy way to incorporate non-acronym or shorthand text within the actual commands themselves (since terminal commands are intentionally shortened for decreasing the amount of typing required per manual command), but good tutorials will include an explanation of what each copy/paste line is doing (sounds like you might’ve witnessed some bad ones).
In regards to gatekeeping, at some point it’s an unfortunate byproduct of users on forums sharing answers that “you should already know why this command is here and what it does”, because they’re tired of explaining to people who should really read the troubleshooting guides included in their distro, or are burnt out from offering their time repeatedly over and over. Nobody is being paid to give you advice, and that’s a double edged sword - because they are doing this out of a genuine desire to help users like you, but aren’t willing to deep dive like a professor would during their paid office hours.
With all that being said, those of us who enjoy using the terminal whenever possible are more than happy to share our secrets with you - just realize you may have to read and copy some lines of text from time to time and check a wiki, instead of a GUI installer. Since we’re not all on Mint XD
To an extent that’s an anathema to how software tutorials on linux are designed: Developers don’t know which distro a given user may be using, have no idea what sort of edge cases a random person may find themselves within, and as such are reliant on the only universal component to unite them all - the terminal.
Installing a windows driver on Linux Mint is a definite edge case - there’s no chance that the Mint developers had that in mind as expected user behavior. In addition, there’s no way they could have determined the originated issue and suggested a solution in a nice GUI prompt, because unlike Microsoft, there is no telemetry involved that could be utilized to determine an appropriate package like that community made driver automatically.
So yeah - a bit unfair to those making tutorials.

Technology@lemmy.world•Meta’s Reality Labs cuts sparked fears of a ‘VR winter’English
01·7 days agoSounds like you need to play games like Half-Life Alyx, Pavlov VR, and Into the Radius, which are designed around VR movement and hand manipulation that truly cannot be given justice on a flat display with a controller or a mouse and keyboard setup. A used Index is quite cheap these days, or you could wait for the Frame.
There are even non-meta wild card headsets like Bigscreen beyond, PSVR2 (PC compatible now), and Vive’s standalone line.

161·11 days agoLineage, Graphene, and /e/ OS are all forks I believe, not alternatives (since they are dependent on the main Android branch for some updates and feature implementations).
Linux phones don’t really have enough support for the necessary applications to be viable for most people, at least for now.
Nah, we’d love to see you cook. Hell, you could hook up your piano keyboard to your PC and experiment with music creation or using MIDI for keyboard shortcuts (can be fun to try to game with lol)
