Because coreboot is the only way for us to be in full control of the hardware. Any other way there is microcode which is closed source and we have no idea what it is doing. It has full control to everything.

What do you plan to do on that graphics card? Is that 20GB VRAM? That sounds nice, but not being a NVIDIA it lacks at least the CUDA cores which are necessary for many AI use cases which I have.

So how would you make a homage at an old jobs by bringing it into the now times without copying the joke and replacing parts of it?

Hm, that makes me think I should really go ahead and set up my own git-frontend, or at least check out all my git repos.

Ah, nice, not bad for a iPhone model.

I wonder how bit it is, normally they call them something with 3B or 7b

Aah, tho med brain didn’t lie to me, good to know!

Oh wow, that was legit my second Linux distro back in 2002 after failed attempts with SUSE.

But for some reason my brain remembered that it was called Mandrake, not Mandriva.

He seems to be better at computers than Linus Sebastian.

Thank you everyone for explaining your view of how it works on Linux, it seems to be very chaotic when it comes to this topic, everyone has their own understanding and some contradict each other. But it was great to get some feedback and food for thought which let me to try other things which I didn’t think of trying before.

Now I finally have some things working on the iGPU because I plugged the monitor into the motherboard instead of the dGPU. It seems that the offloading works well still because things like ollama and video editing still are done on the powerfull dGPU and then somehow the results synchronized to the motherboard output and on the screen.

When it comes to the iGPU I see that many applications run on both at the same time like for example Firefox or Chrome when I look at nvtop. Especially when I watch videos in the browser then the iGPU is mostly active. Also when I use GNOME Shell features like seeing the overview by pressing the Super key or switching between virtual desktops.

With help of switcheroo-control I can now force a program like DarkTable to work specifically on the dGPU.

So while I still don’t have full controll over it, I feel I’m utilizing both graphics cards now much better and that was what I was looking for before I wrote this question, so thanks a lot everyone!

What is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME then?

Which one is plugged in into your monitor?

It’s a desktop.

I did, but that only allows me to run it in the descrete one where it is already running as far as I understand.

So I read it but it seems only to talk about X and not Wayland, am I missing something?

Yeah, not really, I think the iGPU is still very preformant, especially it has bread video de and encoding capabilities. It’s probably more powerful than my dell XPS 13 laptop iGPU which let’s me connect a external 4k monitor and run games and video editing smoothly with some Lowe settings.

I just start writing in the different language and the suggestions + autocorrect switch for me. All the languages (other than Korean) use the same keyboard layout and for the umlauts I need to hold the aoeu shortly to get the right umlaut, or I just rely on the autocorrect.

I installed the dictionaries I need and then followed https://github.com/Helium314/HeliBoard/wiki/FAQ#multilingual-typing-type-in-multiple-languages-without-switching-manually

I like HeliBoard. It automatically switches between the languages I write in.

So, did a LLM write this story?
