FydeOs vs Waydroid

6 Nov 2025 - 4:11pm

So, i saw a lot of videos talking about FydeOS and how it runs android.
I was looking into how it does it, and looks like it ports the Android subsystem into the distro.
My question is: How is the performance compared to waydroid?
I currently use arch and wanted to know how different it was. Have anyone tested both?

Steam download issue with ARK: Survival Evolved

6 Nov 2025 - 3:56pm

I played ARK on windows before switching to linux, and I've seen comments on protondb that it's playable in single player (my preferred play style), but I'm having issues with the downloading process.

It keeps trying to install 1.3Gb then open, but obviously fails. I tried clearing the download cache and even went to properties to force it to download via proton experimental. It starts to download the proper 63ish Gb, but then switches to 1.3Gb again less than a minute later.

Has anyone else had encountered and had success with this?

Should distros be shipping Nvidia drivers in the live ISO/installer?

6 Nov 2025 - 3:53pm

Title. to me, it seems weird that they don't. If the concern is disk space, I would argue most people can acquire a 16GB USB that can hold a little more storage. It gives Nvidia users a smooth out of the box experience in a live environment instead of nouveau which is often buggy and outright crashes on my own hardware.

I remember Pop OS doing this when I tried it once and it streamlined a part of setup. Despite this, many distros still expect you to go out of your way to install Nvidia drivers after running their installer. Most drivers on Linux don't need to be actively installed with DKMS or anything, so why not go the extra mile and make things easier for a large segment of desktop users?

I'm curious if there's technical limitations preventing this from becoming reality.

GPU fans running even at low load - Linux mint cinnamon

6 Nov 2025 - 3:51pm

Hey guys, I'm new to Linux. Sorry. to make a long story short: I wanted to undervolt my 3070 GPU, so I searched online and found this app: LACT

My undervolt on the OC tab seems to be working, but for some reason, here on fan curve, my GPU fans are still spinning even under low load. As you can see on the pict, the GPU temperature is 40°C, but the fans are running at 1192 RPM.

Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I can fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
