Same for me, it always comes down to choice. Nothing makes me want to not do something more than being told I have to do it. Oh, and the fact that it is a tool for corpo control over the Linux ecosystem, but I've sperged about that enough already.
I had a similar issue with one of my NVIDIA thinkpads and it ended up being a GPU seating issue. Open your lappy up, dust, reapply paste and check cable connections. It really shouldn't be too hard to give it a basic touch up, you can easily find tons of guides on yt or follow along with official lenovo hardware manuals to dis and re-assemble it.
The display issues are one a new MSI laptop.. but could be hardware, it ran rellay hot under load in windows, although it worked without issues. It doenst get hot anymore but im mostly using an external monitor now. A new thing is happening, sometimes it wont shut down.. maybe i should send it back.
Gaming laptops do tend to get a bit warm. I'm not sure what it like on Windows but on Linux you can get the "sensors" package to help you check system temps and see what the safety thresholds are for your hardware. As for your issues, if it works flawlessly on Windows it may have just been a driver quirk, but still, cleaning and maintenance is important, so if you think you're willing to do that yourself, it usually doesn't take more than like, an hour max and one screwdriver. Just remember to mark which screw goes where, gaming laptops can be a bitch to work on.
It automatically handles it, just follow the instructions and copy and paste that code block into the terminal. If you have a Nvidia GPU there's some more steps you have to do, I can post the guide in a little bit but it should be in the bugs/discussion area.

EOFBut then that code won't work on Plucky. Is there a way to pull the base Ubuntu version automatically?
I submitted a pull request with the change which should help.
The current Xlibre build process requires presentproto 1.4 while Ubuntu ships with 1.3, requiring it to be manually included for 24.04. 22.04 requires more work, but I do not see how thays related to my question.
The only target market for NVIDIA drivers on Linux is ML/CAD/rendering. This would be expected behavior in these domains where everything needs to run on VRAM and it's better to just crash if you don't have enough.
I've read one workaround for this is using your iGPU for your desktop, and offload the gpu for games. Have you tried that? It's from the thread you linked.
Ollama is just a service wrapper around llama.cpp.
Must've been an avid reader.Found this ancient thing from '93 after snooping about. Apparently it inspired dpkg:

StopAlop was a Bourne-style shell script that builds, installs, lists, verifies, and removes binary packages using only core Unix tools. It is largely a relic of early Linux days when tools like floppies and manual file tracking were common. As for the meaning behind the name:

The currently best version of that is the Kiss package manager. Completely coreutils-agnostic and written by one of the world's leading POSIX autists, author of the Pure sh Bible.
