Those color settings in nvidia-settings are only available on X11 which is basically the only reason (apart from the long postponed switch to an AMD GPU) I haven’t switched to Wayland. Though desktop effects in KDE are more fluid under Wayland and frametimes in games maybe a bit better I just can’t live with the washed out colors when gaming.

Thanks. Seems you’re correct and Sunshine profits from CUDA when using this NVFBC but it doesn’t seem to explicitly depend on it to run. I tried it pretty soon after installing EOS and can’t imagine having installed CUDA so early. Last time I explicitly did it was for Ollama.

I just looked on that EOS machine on which Sunshine worked right from the start and no CUDA package is installed but nevertheless nvidia-smi shows CUDA Version 13. This seems to be because the nvidia driver brings the CUDA runtime with it which differs from the big CUDA toolkit. I’ll try CachyOS again when I eventually buy an AMD GPU.

I think you meant Cachy when you pointed out Limine is an option while doing automatic partitioning. And yes this worked very good. I meant that Endeavour doesn’t offer it at that point in install.

Have a nice week.

Don’t want to diss CachyOS. They’re sure doing tremendous work for the gaming community and all the default themes for the different WMs and DEs look enticing. I’m sure this was a case of PEBKAC.

Yes AFAIK it is in the extra repo, which I’d always prefer to the AUR. Thing is, I tried Apollo beforehand, as I wanted clipboard support, which was probably only available in the AUR. Maybe that borked something with the install. I could install Sunshine though but Moonlight from my main Endeavor install couldn’t make any connection even with opening all the wanted ports in the firewall.

Recently tried CachyOS on my HTPC. Couldn’t get Sunshine to run. It looked beautiful though and the docs seemed really in-depth. Endeavour (thanks to Arch, I know) is just so stable and fast. Just the right amount of pre-installed stuff like reflector, yay, the firewall-config app for firewalld with sane defaults, nice BTRFS subvolume layout, correct NVidia drivers. Would be nice to have Limine (for BTRFS snapshots) as an option besides SystemD boot and Grub in Calamares but I installed it in addition to SystemD boot. Gaming works tremendously good. Everything else too.

I really can’t recall the last time an update went wrong. On both of my machines (one Intel, one AMD, both NVidia).
