To add about defaults from what other posters have shown…

I don’t remember if this was there on Debian 12, but at least when you’re on Debian 13 later this year, you can go to “Settings” in Discover and select if you want Debian or Flatpak to be the default source

I like a lot of things about Valve, but it has never felt like the dock is well supported.

This new firmware is the first one that outputs HDMI to my TV, and it breaks DP for you…

Did that, did a lot of that. There wasn’t any doctor here who could shine my eyes. Not even for 20 menthol cools. Was anything you said true?

nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”

It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs

I haven’t looked that closely at laptop CPUs

My guess would be partially because there are fewer possible interfaces, and they’re directly connecting the CPU to a separate Ethernet/WiFi MAC, USB hub controller, and audio DSP rather than having a separate chipset arbitrating who’s talking to the CPU and doing some of those functions?

For most intents and purposes

SoC is from the embedded system development world - as more and more coprocessors were being put into the same chip to consolidate board space and power efficiency, it wasn’t “just” a cpu - it had the CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and other coprocessors in one

x86 has moved a lot closer to this architecture over the years, but you still generally have a separate chipset controller on the motherboard the CPU interfaces with

System on a chip. Think like a Qualcomm or Samsung processor, or the new M line from Apple
