According to the linked wiki, try to go to https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html.

Check on your laptop with dmesg | grep -i chipset the codename of your graphic card. With this you can check which driver is the best on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA. There is a paragraph, explaining which driver is the best.

If I understand it right, the nvidia package is the correct one for 1050. So you can use pacman -S nvidia with root privileges. All dependencies should be resolved automatically.

I would recommend to reboot, in case there are changed kernel modules.

2 things i have to note: Using Wayland is a total mess with nvidia. Specially on Arch Linux. I have screen flickering in GUI and games, the performance is so lala and tools like KeePass which needs access to the text in window titles did not work complete. On Manjaro, the flickering doesn’t exist, but the other symptoms do. Maybe im missing some packages on Arch.

Second with Vulkan i have some tearing in games. I have not looked further in to that.

On the other hand, games like Satisfactory or Elder Scrolls Online, have more FPS with the same settings as on Windows.

Currently i test Arch and Manjaro in parallel on the same Laptop. But I tend to keep Manjaro and remove Arch. There are light pro’s and con’s, but overall, I’m more happy with Manjaro. But this has nothing to do with you’re issue.

I have a 1050 in my Laptop and it works fine with the nvidia package AS proprietary driver

Keep a minimum of 30GB free, for Windows update processes on the windows system partition. I don’t how much the windows installation counts in space, but add that to the 30gb free space. I would recommend to have a extra partition for the games on NTFS and move your steam, epic, ubisoft, whatever library to that partition.

I have tried to use the same gaming partition between Linux and Windows, but failed every time. In the worst case this can alter your Windows privileges. At least I had this issue.

Currently I’m using Windows only for 2 games: Space Engineers and Empyrion. The rest works with better performance on Linux. Satisfactory, Ark survival, Elder Scrolls Online have more FPS on Linux with the same settings. I have to use a nvidia 1050 Ti in my laptop. With a AMD GPU the situation is a lot better on Linux.

I’m not a hardcore gamer, mostly im coding here and there. But sometimes gaming is a must have.

I absolutely never trust blindly in such things. I have never seen a plausible explanation why this is a security feature.

When there are dev’s from X11 involved, this is fine and it seems that this leads to decisions which prevent from current X11 issues. But it absolutely is no guarantee that everything is trustable. I’m not that expert, but your mentioned link points in the right direction. But as long this isn’t supported in the wide mass, it’s only a wish…

That window titles can be easily changed is quite true, so all applications I know monitor such changes and abort the autotype on request when a change is made. But as already said, this is not a security feature, at least not a useful one.

Monitoring the application itself makes no sense for a password manager. As you write yourself, it’s easy to customize the title. All applications make use of this. It is already changed when the tab in the browser changes, a new page is loaded or similar. The same is true for non-browser applications. Windows also allows read access to window titles.

What the Wayland developers do is, in my opinion, gross mischief or ignorance regarding window titles. The password manager needs a simple way to assign a window to an entry, which should be the same for all applications. This should be the same for all DE’s, window managers and OS. The simplest is the window title. The status bar makes no sense and an API would have to be the same or at least similar across all DE’s, window managers and OS. Such a thing does not exist. To implement something like that only for KDE is too niche. This would have to be implemented and established, if already for the broad mass. So also for Gnome, Mate, Cinnamon and all the others. Not to forget, this must also work for Windows and MacOS in a similar way.

This is because Wayland doesn’t allow it to read window titles. Keepass and KeepassXC uses the window title to identify which entry to use. If you have no title, you can’t find the entry. That’s why it will not work with Wayland and never will work, until Wayland allows it to read window titles.

XWayland, which is forced with your workaround, is not Wayland.

That’s at least for me, the main reason not to switch to Wayland. I have no idea why Wayland doesn’t allow reading window titles. There is absolutely no security or performance benefit of this behavior. For me it’s either a bug or a design failure. Or simply bad behavior.

Find My Device is completely useless until the device is unlocked. As long as it is rebooted and not unlocked, there is no way to detect its location. Since most phones (if not all), use an encrypted filesystem. With such, no service can’t start if the device isn’t initially unlocked after reboot, including Find my device.

This isn’t only a issue with Google’s implementation, it’s the same with other implementations to.

Since the script I’m talking about, makes some changes to the synced files, this is not a job for Resilio Sync. For the sync job itself, I’m using SFTP, because this is the easiest to setup on all clients/platforms. I’m only interested how I could safely dedect, if the sync is finished and start the script to do it’s job’s. The tip with the changing file is nice. I’m using that for now. Absolute reliable so far, for this task.

The depth is changing constantly, because new subdirs are created and removed during the day and/or upload/sync process. Thats why the script is walking across the complete directory structure every time. But the dummy file is a nice suggestion. In this case, I can monitor only the dummy file and trigger the script on dummy file change. Good idea.

It will use your current profile with settings automatically

I’ve been testing KDE for several weeks now, XFCE before that but I’m back to Gnome. It just feels right. Everything is where I expect it to be. No searching in thousands of menus. What scares me about KDE is that there are tons of options and stuff that no one will ever need. Especially KMail I find just awful. So many options and you only find what you are looking for, after an extensive search via a search engine of your choice. This is totally frustrating. XFCE does a lot better here, but I miss the one or other pleasant animation when opening windows and the like. Gnome, on the other hand, isn’t great either, but I feel most comfortable here.

Not really. In my case i start it from within Steam Library and not from commandline, but i have tried the --force -q dotnet48 shortcut also, with no positive result. Yesterday, I could play the game for more than 3 hours, but today, starting it the same way, it crashes after loading 1% of the save game.

I’m starting it now in a parallel installed Windows, where the save game location is shared between both OS (-appdata "/path/to/folder" -skipintro). Maybe i find a better way and must not boot to Windows. Since i start this really seldom, it has to download a lot of Updates before i can continue.

Yes, but there is no clear instructions. Only some vague recommendations. None of them is working at least for me

No blank Vanilla, but all DLC’s

Lock the pc, if you leave and lock the db, if pc is locked, lid is closed and this is absolute a non-issue.

German BSI is sometimes a little bit over motivated ;-)

KeePass and KeePassXC not supporting the same TOTP placeholders

My biggest issue with Wayland is, that KeePassXC can’t read the title of windows. This completely make Autotype useless.

Until this is solved, it’s a absolute no-go for me.

I have created a FOSS extension called SyncMarks to sync bookmarks and tabs. It’s working with Firefox, Edge and Chromium and also on Kiwi on Android. You can sync your bookmarks independent from the browser and cross-browser. For example from Firefox to Edge or Chrome.

As a backend I would recommend my small php script which you can selhost. You only need PHP and a database like SQLite or MySQL. As fallback you can use any WebDAV share.
