  • Photopea is great, but after a certain point it begins to chug. Once you have a dozen or so groups and begin to stack adjustment layers peefomance suffers. A dedicated desktop app just has more power to swing around.

    It's going to take some time to get as proficient in krita or GIMP.

  • So my solution was to switch to Wayland, and since the only officially-supported Wayland on Pop is their default GNOME, I learned how to name GNOME look more cinnamon-like.

    I've got new issues now, like occasionally one of my monitors will just freeze on wakeup and I'll have to toggle it on and off in display settings but it's easier than making a full jump to mint right now. (As that seems to be my best bet for stable cinnamon)

  • Hey if I were married to you I would support your hobbies and interests. I'd want you to be happy.

    Lathes are expensive though, so if there expense were to come from our shared account we would need to have a discussion first.

  • So after installing it I see: nvidia-driver-550 is already the newest version (560.35.03-1pop0~1729800494~22.04~4a3cad6)

    So 550 is there, but it's using 560. I assume that means I need to purge all traces of 560 and 550 and then reinstall 550, unless I can specify somewhere to use 550.

    However in software and updates there is no 550, only 560.

  • I would have stuck with 470, but modern games need the 500 drivers. I couldn't get Metaphor ReFantazio working on 470, and I couldn't get the latest Baldur's Gate 3 patch working without updating either.

    470 is from 3 years ago at this point. There were going to be more problems moving forward if I didn't update.

  • Ok, so switching to Pop on Wayland works. I didn't mention this in my original post, but I've been running Pop on Cinnamon. So I either need to get comfortable with Pop's DE or figure out if this is a cinnamon issue.

    Previously I had an issue with fullscreen games having weird lag issues on Wayland. Though... testing that out now, that seems to no longer be an issue.

    After trying this for a few minutes, I really don't like how slow the dock shows itself when I hover near the bottom of the screen, and i don't like how the application bar adds visual noise to the top of the screen. To me, it makes more sense for the two bars to be united as one like in cinnamon. :/

    Out of curiosity, I wonder if the crash occurs when I'm in Pop x11, or if this is a cinnamon-specific bug.

    EDIT: The crash occurs on Pop's default DE on X11, and cinnamon on X11, but not Pop on Wayland.

  • Oh man, so Pop!_OS has a "pop shop" where it officially supports 470 and 560. 550 isn't on there so, while I could try it, I wouldn't expect it to work.

    In "Software and Updates" I have options for the "NVIDIA driver metapackages" for 390, 470, and 560. 560 is currently selected. I also have the NVIDIA server driver metapackage for 535, so I could try that. It would be newer than 470 but not as current as 560.

    But since the chances this would fix it are already low (and 560 drivers fixed my other issues), I'm hesitant to try unless I exhaust every other option.
