Hey, beautiful people of Linux, I need some advice. I’ve been tinkering for the past several weeks on flavours of Plasma DE on Arch and Tumbleweed on my Nvidia/Alder Lake setup. Suffice to say the experience was nothing short of getting waterboarded in Guantanamo by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity high-fiving each other while Laura Ingraham supervises.
While X11 is mostly working, I’ve basically given up on getting VA-API and Wayland to work. I’m considering getting a Beelink Mini PC with 7940HS and 780M to finally be able to daily drive a setup without compromises. Bonus points if Hyprland actually works without sketchy black market patches that you buy off a guy in the back alley behind Wendy’s.
Looking for any advice or experience anyone might have.
- Does VA-API and AV1/VP9/HEVC HW decoding in browser actually work? Any browser at all.
- Does Wayland actually work without glitches on the 780M?
- Does Hyprland work out-of-the-box, if ever?
You seem to have misunderstood. OP is asking about the wayland support of RX780M integrated graphics in newer amd ryzen processors
Oops! I did wonder if it could be non-Nvidia. Oh well
Yeah! Thanks for the input too, the 3080Ti I’ve been struggling with getting Arch or Tumbleweed to work without compromise but it’s always little gotchas like Wayland visual-glitching or VAAPI not working in browsers or graphical.target refusing to start if i915 is not blacklisted. The overall experience is just slightly more pleasant than gouging my eyes out with a rusty spoon.
