    I think that's good, but a correct comparison would be using DXVK/VKD3D even on Windows, but thats not always possible without breaking the desktop.

    Neverthless, AMD is doing a great job in the linux graphics ecosystem speaking of kernel drivers, vulkan implementation, and the support overall so I won't be surprised on the same machine to perform better.
    At least on a full AMD build

    Still lacking on some nitpick things like eGPUs

    Yeah, it is in setup mode. You have to install the factory keys, go into key management and choose something like that, it shouldn't be in setup mode anymore.

    Anyway since Kryonaut is the one which performs best, I'll try contacting their support, maybe they could recommend me a different kind of application

    Ok, found out it performs worse. Games runs fine, but when I fire up an OBS stream, goes to 90c° after some minutes, GPU temperatures are slightly worse (from 82 to 85) and placing some pieces of tape makes the heatsink to not make full contact and fully goes to 90c° in the desktop.

    I ended up putting kryonaut again, but this time using a LOT of it so the outermost part of it can keep the paste inside, tried this some weeks ago but I don't like this solution, if that can be called this way, even if the stock asus paste was all over the CPU like that...but this seems the best solution so far.

    Anyway I decided I cannot waste more money or time for this. I learnt my lesson and I'll never trust any "gaming" product until I can see some decent thermal benchmarks online firs

    NVIDIA support is NOT bad, it just requires you to install non-free drivers which need to be installed afterwards, as for the software support, NVIDIA is just a bit behind when speaking about Optimus support, GSYNC/Freesync (not anymore in the future releases) and Wayland support (still, not anymore in future releases)

    AMD support on the other hand, is all open source and then integrated in the kernel and there is no need to fuss with anything at all

    Actually is not the truth

    Most desktop environments actually warn you before running an .sh script or another program, first you must mark them as an executable, gnome by default opens them with a text editor, etc and KDE warns you are running a program

    Also when running .exe from wine you are prompted to make it executable

    And most of the software is supposed to be downloaded and installed via the package management system, which basically is always secure and there would be no need to more security measures

    If only people would understand that and think about maintain packages instead of crappy other methods (yes VMWare, I'm talking about your "windows-like" installer)

    Chunchunmaru_ got a reaction from Giganthrax in Install touchscreen support in Debian?   
    I use a surface go 2 with Linux too, while I can confirm that gestures work better on Wayland (which on an intel GPU is not a bad thing) I can move firefox with one finger. Also the 3rd party on screen keyboard works nicely

    The only things I have noticed are gestures with more than 2 fingers do not work

    I have to say I am running a custom kernel, which I would recommend install (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface)

    But the main issue here is you are using AnyDesk, which does't care if you install drivers for a real touchscreen devices, because anydesk is another thing

    TL;DR you should try to change program, try TeamViewer

    Other crazy alternatives would be:

    VNC or RDP (xrdp)

    Try force shutdown your pc while window update is running halfway.
    Although the screen say "do not turn off your computer" but fuck it, Linus probably don't care and it unacceptable for user to be able to force shutdown because it might brick the system and that is a poor design choice for billion dollar operating system with thousands of engineers get paid handsomely working on it.   /s

    Actually this also happens on macos too, but there is not a package manager with dependency management like on Linux, so most of the programs are pretty much all bundled with the required libraries (the downside is that programs are bigger)

    Linux shares the libraries with all the programs on the computer, if you notice when you download things from apt you just download the executable that is then placed on the /usr/bin folder (assuming you already have another program that uses the same libraries, otherwise they are installed)


     
     

    Yeah it's cool, and there also is a launcher for desktop integration, which basically makes it very similar to MacOS

    this is why one shouldn't use a bleeding edge distro like pop_os for general users, they would have been much better off with ubuntu, specially one of the lts releases.
     
    I have also once bricked my system due to an error while upgrading ubuntu (installed a wrong source by mistake), which actually made me appreciate linux even more, as being able to sudo in from a ubuntu live stick was pretty impressive, and i managed to salvage the OS completely

    That's a script kiddies.
     
    Average user will find someone they know that knew about this stuffs be it their friend, or children, or cousin or niece/nephew, or someone else friend/children/niece/nephew. They're really afraid that they will break something or make it worst because their pc usually have important works/files and they can't risk to break it. 
     
    From my experienced, this is not an average user. These are the minority that annoyed the shit out of you that's why you remembered them really well if you work at retail/helpdesk/tech support. Majority of my work as a tech support before is mostly mundane task like installing software, fix window printer sharing, "have you try restart the laptop or not", sluggish performance because of dying hard drive, physically broken hardware/cable. They rarely try to fix it them self at least not to the point of breaking it even worse.
     
    Currently i work as PC repair and retail, today alone i had 5-6 customer came in just to install Zoom and Google Meet in their laptop. I said there's no standalone Google Meet software to install, you can only access it via browser, they asked me to show how to do it and i said I'll create a shortcut on desktop instead. They said thanks.
     
    One woman even downloaded Zoom installer herself but didn't proceed with the installation because of the warning you get when you try to run exe downloaded from the internet. I do get know-it-all type of customer once in a while but they're definitely not an average user.

    But, it does.
    Linus went through several hoops to override those 3 specific protections.
     
     
    Yes it did. The GUI showed him this exactly error:
    and then didn't give him an option to continue.
     
     
    99,999% of the time the protection is fine.
    It's only "not-fine" when a broken package slips into the repo, and a user who can't be bothered to read a warning forces an install by running a force-install command through the CLI that something goes wrong.
     
     
    Yes, and that's why Pop_OS! has 4 different safeguards in place to make sure you can't remove it. The first one failed because of a temporary issue with Pop_OS! and Linus manually overrode the other 3.

    Ehm, command line is optional for most things. Just like command line is optional in Windows for most things.
    Linus didn't have to use the command line to install Steam. The problem was the fact that he forced the install through command line when the GUI prevented him from fucking up.
    If I am unable to install something on Windows I don't boot into safe mode and force a driver install as admin through the CLI and then blame Windows if something goes wrong.
     
     
    Because it is not actually a fix, and it is the wrong team making the changes.
    Imagine if an Nvidia driver broke Windows and the response was for Microsoft to say "okay, from now on users aren't allowed to install drivers anymore. Everyone has to buy prebuilts from HP and Dell and the drivers the system ship with are the only ones allowed". It's not exactly the same situation as this but I think you get the point. Would you be going "wow, Window users doesn't want 'normies' using Windows since they are against this change".
    Does it fix the issue? Yes, the change fixes the issue. But it's not the root cause being fixed, the fix creates more issues, and it isn't Microsoft that should make the fix.
     
    Likewise, this change shouldn't be coming from Debian because it was Pop_OS! that fucked up. The change doesn't really help because if someone ignores three safeguards they will probably ignore a forth as well. The issue was also an uncommon, minor issue that doesn't happen often. It was just very bad timing that Linus was trying Pop_OS! at that exact moment.
     
     
    Debian, the ones making this change, isn't just a desktop OS. It's one of the most popular server OSes, it is used as the base for some desktop OSes (like Ubuntu) and it is also used as the base for more specialized distros like Kali.
    I understand that the concept of distros and such can be confusing for people not well versed in Linux, but things aren't really how you think they are.

    You say that like you are arguing with someone and Linux is my wife or my entire reason for a living.
    Does it make you mad that someone has different opinions from yours probably because you do not even understand what is means?

    If a package follows the debian guidelines (the one you find on the Debian repository, no on ppa's or other websites) there is absolutely no need to do that, I can easily create a debian package that deletes your entire system and making it avaiable to everyone, by putting it on some shady website, then it is the user responsibility to do harm to their system.
    Reminder that debian packages can run scripts and do all sort of things.

    The entire progamming guidelines on software in linux (KISS, etc) does not even consider hacky workarounds like that, every software must be avaiable in the official repositories,  without it probably it would end up like a mess, and at this point it would be just more convenient to stick in Windows.

    Probably if someone can't get their package accepted to the official repositories, either they should just use .snaps or .flatpaks which are already in a protected environment

    The ideal solution would just be to hire more package maintainers and developers and put everything in the official Debian/Ubuntu repository

    This thread is a good example of what i've been saying for a while:
     
    Linux users don't want new people to come to Linux, they want to keep it as complex as possible so any new user problems can just be blamed on them being stupid and not understanding Linux.
     
    Not sure why people are against a change that makes things BETTER for new/inexperienced users unless they wish to keep the air of elitism and don't want things "dumbed-down" to keep out the "normies".
