I've been using it with an AMD RX580 driving a 32" 4K monitor for a couple of years now and it just about works perfectly for my needs, including playing a few games through Steam. The only issue I have is that for some reason I occasionally cant alt-tab to the keepassxc window under gnome after I start it up. If you use Linux on the desktop and don't otherwise require an nvidia card (cuda, etc) it is worth while to switch to an AMD card or to spec one for a new build.

#83Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think it supports AAD, just AD. You got me way too exited for a minute.
It's kind of odd that they are advertising this now just as Microsoft is trying to get everyone to ditch on-prem AD. Is it just them saying "we ship SSSD in the default install now, so you can buy support from us!", or what? Some way of signing into Ubuntu with a custom SAML provider would be very cool. Windows supports it via their "credential provider"[0] framework and Google uses that to provide sign-in for Window…
I certainly hope ms will drop the need for ad (in favour of azure ad) - but it's still needed for eg azure virtual desktop (you need a vm running ad - or "azure ad ds"[1] in azure parlance).
A bit frustrating, as you can otherwise join a windows 10 desktop (or vm) to just azure ad for sso etc.

#84It's interesting to see Wayland enabled by default. I'm curious to know what state Wayland is in nowadays, especially regarding how well it works with Nvidia cards. The last time I tried it out was around 2017ish when Fedora enabled it by default. It was 100% not ready then as it wouldn't even boot into the desktop with my nvidia card. Is it actually ready now? Does it work with nvidia cards? Does GPU acceleration wo…
From what I understand after briefly looking into this earlier this month the issue seems to be basically NVIDIA want to push their own buffer API (EGLStreams) rather than use the buffer API developers are actually using (GBM). If you use one of the "big" compositors like GNOME or KDE I believe they have sort of added EGLStreams support so you can use it on NVIDIA but it's not perfect. If you use a more niche one, e.…
NVIDIA tends to be good (in an evil way) at proprietary lock-in, but they also tend to be good (in a genuine way) at making better thought-out and more advanced APIs. What's the balance of these two qualities in EGLStreams (as compared to GBM)?

#85Have they sold the company to Microsoft? "Microsoft SQL Server on Ubuntu delivers an optimised, cost-effective database platform" Of course not, it's not free so it's not cost effective compared to the best database, which is PostgreSQL. Integration with Active Directory group policy seems also a really bad idea since it allows insecure proprietary software to control your Linux machines.
Maybe cost-effective compared to running SQL Server on Windows?
And also compared to, for example, Oracle on RedHat.

Have you ever been on the ops team for a company larger than 20 people?

#87I still can't reconcile zfs in the installer. There's no warnings or information upfront about how you will make your filesystem into a nice brick if you upgrade your linux kernel and forget that your filesystem has to be manually upgraded with that kernel version. Distros should not include filesystems that aren't in the kernel in their official installer. Fedora made the right decisions with btrfs. If users want zf…
In case of Ubuntu 21.04 it seems that DKMS magic takes care of rebuilding ZFS support whenever I install a new kernel package (yes, even one that I've built myself from mainline git---currently running 5.12-rc7). Yes, it can require manual work, if zfs-dkms does not have support for the kernel one is running. This failure should be quite visible: installation of the kernel package will end in an error.
But more importantly, missing ZFS support should not brick the filesystem. The new kernel just can't mount it, which can be overcome by rebooting to an older kernel. And then addressing whatever the issue is.

#88Is there an integrated replacement for i3wm/regolith that works on Wayland?
Re: Ubuntu 21.04
#89I tried Wayland on 20.10 a few month ago and concluded it wasn't ready for daily use. The worst thing is that it would RANDOMLY cause Gnome to restart while closing all my applications. Also the cursor was jumpy and laggy sometimes (especially when opening context menus). Is anyone aware if these issues still happen?
I haven't really tried 20.10 or 21.04 - but have been running Wayland on 20.04 for at 6 months (I've run 20.04 a year, not sure when I switched to Wayland). Lenovo latitude laptop with Intel graphics, two external screens, one HD, one 2k with fractional scaling. Works well. Gnome desktop.

The full sentence is about them being able to take advantage of Wayland automatically.
It appears to me that you've clipped the quote to change the meaning.
