From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

CPU: Intel (R) Core(TM) i7-8565 (4) @ 4.60 GHz

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 [Integrated]

Kernel: Linux 6.18.52-gentoo

914 packages from emerge apparently

I have tried doing some stuff but I really don't think it made a difference in any possible way.

There's also when keyword ~amd64 blocks stuff like kde. From what I understand there's also a stable amd64 apparently? idk that's a bit unrelated I will look into it later.

You need to load module for your video card, i think. Or dri, or do something with your kernel.

Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.

Or with the config...

[–] vas@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Indeed. I don't know gentoo, but from the logs it seems that the failure somes from not being able to load the drivers. Install them first?

[–] UninterestingVoid@reddthat.com 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The xorg drivers are installed btw.

[–] vas@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, I mean the drivers for the graphics card. Xorg is a layer higher than that..
