Yeah I had a similar issue, my Nvidia driver got updated to 545 and suddenly PRIME offload did not work for Steam games. After a little while Flatpak update pulled the nvidia 545 flatpak stuff and it started working again.

If you have issues it's usually a configuration issue or a misbehaving daemon, try investigating with "systemd-analyze blame", "systemd-analyze critical-chain" and "systemd-analyze plot > boot_anal.svg".

Suddenly i feel nostalgic for xbiff. No longer useful but he was a good dog.

Meh, they both support a ton of formats and encodings. Just use whichever feel best, even install both.

I've noticed a lot number of questions on reddit/etc. suddenly gets asked in that way ("why" in front of a statement). As an ESL I was confused for a while because I've been drilled in asking questions using auxiliary verbs.

It's a single metric out of many for a file system, let's see if someone investigates.

The application startup test is designed to cold-load an application with heavy background IO going on.

With regards to Arch based distros: Do you still need to read Arch news to spot potentially breaking updates and know how to diff pacsave/pacnew, etc. or have Garuda found a way to manage these things?

Most prompt customizers have an option for showing how long last command ran and whether it succeeded/failed or simply prompt timestamp, it's often default. I use Tide, there's also Starship and a number of others. You can also roll your own ofcourse.

Yes, it seems like there could be a weakness there, unless it's just a fluke. The test has a background I/O load designed to stress BFQ I/O.

I guess mileage might differ. I installed Tumbleweed and then the Nvidia drivers following the wiki instructions. Everything is going great. Running a 3060 with Wayland+Plasma on a 360Hz screen and gaming through Steam. I love Tumbleweed.

An alternative if just for benchmarking is EndeavourOS, you can choose proprietary Nvidia drivers as a boot option in the installer and then I believe it'll be installed with them without further ado. Downside is if you use it long term you have to read Arch News before updates to spot breaking/incompatible changes and be knowledagable of things like pacnew/pacsave files, etc.
