batsk8 <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REPORTED |CONFIRMED Ever confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from batsk8 <[email protected]> --- Also it doesn't matter if NVIDIA is set to On-Demand or Performance Mode. Obviously I can select NVIDIA-only mode in my BIOS, but that's not on the table, I love using Intel to render the laptop screen and utilise NVIDIA in the background for some other work. This is well done in Kubuntu Resolute LTS and a huge improvement from Impish Indie (that until recently was my main OS with apt sources set to archives). Other than the external screen issue, everything else works PERFECTLY. I mean, the new Kubuntu LTS is much faster than Windows 10/11, the laptop is perfectly quiet and passive cooled when idle or on low tasks like browsing the web (in contrast to Windows where fans are always on), the drivers support is outstanding, everything works out of the box: touchpad, touchscreen, pen support, LTE modem, all wireless and NFC, 4 channel speakers (had to map them in HDAJackRetask and they work ever since), all LEDs, 4-microphone array, camera, HP Thunderbold Dock with Audio module, accessories, peripherals, EVERYTHING. Congratulations on making the first Linux distribution that is usable with complex hardware and faster and better than Windows (still have dual boot but almost never have to use Windows, even Photoshop on PlayOnLinux works ultra fast), with KDE Plasma UI being as good for multitasking, and faaaaar better than macOS and its Ubuntu Gnome clone sticking with the ancient menubar and productive-less dock for some reason. I can run a macOS virtual machine on this Kubuntu and have the touch and pen support in macOS... not possible to do on a Mac (that I praise for hardware internals, but not for the single-app focused UI and fragile externals). Kubuntu 26.04 LTS is so close to being a perfect system, which utilises the power perfectly, which shares the GPU and system memory perfectly, which finally utilises all kernel advantages like even file creation time / birth time (believe or not, but this was blocking me to go all in Kubuntu in Impish Indie, now when it's fully supported across multiple file systems in Dolphin and in stat, it's a different world; I know this can be irrelevant to most Kubuntu users, but it's a game-changer for some like me), but kwin_wayland fails at something that the X does well and that kwin_wayland did well in the past. If not my past experience with hassle-free multi-monitor setup on Wayland and Kubuntu, I would assume Linux is not there yet and the distros are good but not enough. But now knowing this is a bug that's keeping me from having a 100% Kubuntu professional system, this is ultra important. Please double check if you can translate the 'image' and 'target' for hardware cursor for NVIDIA to understand. I can see this bug is like a bumerang, but still software cursor or X confirming multi-screen setup works, makes this look more like a kwin_wayland bug than anything else. I'm sure there's a way to fix that. And if anyone wants to say my NVIDIA card is too old and I should upgrade my system, I'd like to hear a recommendation of a 2026 laptop that is aluminium/magnesium CNC, 15,6", 4K 10bit, touch and Wacom pen support, capable of hitting 4.8 GHz on at least 6 cores, offloading tasks to discrete GPU with CUDA, with 64 GB *ECC* RAM, with reliability that comes with Xeon, able to run under load 24/7, and with at least LTE connectivity, keyboard with a navigation cluster column if not full numpad, 2 x full NVME slots that can utilise double-sided SSDs like WD_BLACK SN850X 4TB twins I have right now (so minimum 8TB of storage) and that is running quietly and low temps (under systematic cleaning / thermal paste replacement and other maintenance). Surelyl PCIe 4 won't compensate soldered 16 GB of RAM and one small M2 SSD that is now a standard. So in other words, my 580 closed-drivers are a must, and from my perspective my Quadro is the newest card I could get in this laptop form factor (apart from P2000 bundled with slower Xeons, that thermal throttles the whole system in comparison to the P1000). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
