      For a second I thought you were joking, but yep, there it is.

      How are Nvidia GPUs with Wayland these days?

          I guess they expect people to use the Intel iGPU with ‘the latest of GNOME Desktop’ 🙃

            I mean, on any laptop with hybrid graphics the DE should use the iGPU to render everything unless the app is clearly defined to use the dedicated GPU, so I don’t get your point

              True, that’s a very good point, I would still hope that interop between the two isn’t an issue under a Wayland session.

                I’ve been using a Intel + NVIDIA laptop on Wayland since day 1 and I can confidently say that, except for power management (cries in Pascal) it’s pretty much a perfect experience, as you get the best of both hardware. The system runs on the Intel iGPU and benefits from Mesa while gaming, streaming and compute benefit from the power the NVIDIA card brings.

      barrel jacks are less likely to break, I’ve had laptops with barrel jack charging ports that are still working for 15 years but I’ve had two malfunctioning USB-C ports in phones that were less than 4 years old.

        Is that really a fair comparison? Due to both usage and battery capacity you would probably do way more connector insertions on a phone than on a laptop in the same span of time

    I wrote with them.

    They reported they already tried Coreboot but hat lots of issues, thats why they are back with proprietary Firmware.

    Sad…
