The Linux / Windows approach gives you far more flexibility. MacOS is useless in a million scenarios. But when it is good, it's really good. The UI is still pretty crap, but things like patching they can do with a reliability no one else can. No matter how hard anyone tries, vertical integration of components means things like patching can be tested completely, not just spot checked.

@dafyre Yes, I did. I am using a different kernel now and for the moment, things seem to be happy! (Ish!)

AFAIK, Even VNC doesn't work on Wayland yet.

Nor does MeshCentral

Really? Now I need to go try that when I have a minute.

I just confirmed that mine is working on the default Fedora 37 desktop using both Firefox and Chromium.

Wayland with MeshCentral?

You SURE you are on Wayland?

Isn't Wayland the default for Fedora now? I'm using the stock Fedora, so I'm thinking I am.

Double check that. Maybe you updated from something with X.org.

Fresh install. Wiped root before installing (it was way behind, no point in upgrading).

Do you have NVIDIA drivers on the system? Those will revert you back to X.Org

Yep, sure do. Guess it's not wayland then.

You can check with

loginctl

and

'''
loginctl show-session -p Type <sessionid>

loginctl show-session -p Type 2
Type=wayland

Well shoot, are my Nvidia drivers not working? The more I find out, the more things I need to look at/fix.

What do you have it set to use?

I was under the impression that if you install the NVidia drivers, that you would wind up with X11 and not Wayland.

I read that, can't wait to see what happens. Would give nvidia even more capability

Thanks @black3dynamite .... before I saw that I tried a fresh install (over the top of the old one) and that fixed it for me.

If the laptop isn't worth much to you without the NVidia, you can Google "laptop oven reflow"

If it does serve some purpose with the built in Intel video, you may not want to try that....

$100k?

That would be a good deal 🙂

It seems like that is just a list of android games.

There are a handful of Android TV only titles, but nearly everything that runs on Android TV also runs on Android, but not the other way around.

Well not all Android apps run on Adroid TV, but actually most of them do work if you sideload them. Sometimes the controls can get lost if the apps only work for touch screen devices. I have sideloaded alot of apps and most android apps do work on Android TV.

Probably my most frivolous purchase in years.

Backplate for the GTX. Seems to add a certain je ne sais quoi.

Tests were done on the NVidia Shield TV platform which is an Android-based console device.

NVidia Shield

It's the second one in the Shield series, so it has a little traction already.
