  • Could I have a game rendered by a discrete GPU running in a window being handled by an Xorg session rendered by an integrated GPU?

    I used to do this, but I use wayland now. Similar setup though.

    Would it matter if the video output was physically connected to the discrete GPU or the motherboard, or is that configurable?

    Yes it matters. On many laptops the hdmi out is ONLY on the discrete gpu, meaning the discrete gpu must be on (and sucking power) in order to display to external monitors, even if the internal gpu is doing the rendering.





  • Vscode is an IDE, but only after I spent 15 minutes finding and selecting the appropriate java extensions and ensuring that my Linux system had Java installed.

    But what was a 15 minute process to me, could easily be a 2 hour struggle to someone who is setting up a development environment for the first time and “just wants autocomplete and debugging”.


  • also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code

    What IDE’s have you tried?

    Kate (and vscode) aren’t really IDE’s, they’re more like extremely extensible text editors. You can make them IDE’s, but they dob’t come like that out of the box.

    On the other hands, actual IDE’s often have the inbuilt capability to install and manage the programming language related software.

    You’re probably going to end up on Jitsi meet, but I’m also going to drop a recommendation for bigbluebutton.

    I recently noticed that it was integrated into the open source Learning-Management-System Canvas, which every school I have gone to so far uses.

    Although bigbluebutton doesn’t seem to explicitly support e2ee (but maybe this counts for something), if you are already using Canvas, BigBlueButton definitely worth looking at.

    I really, really wish people at my school would use the integrated bigbluebutton instead of using zoom, especially given I’ve seen people occasionally have issues with authentication for zoom, but all of that stuff is handled with bigbluebutton because it’s fully browser based and integrated into Canvas.
