He seems to be better at computers than Linus Sebastian.

Is this real? Did they jointly post it on X? I mean, it was kind of obvious, but I thought they would be afraid to just come out like that.

That is the main reason of Dodges existence, what did you think would happen?

Thank you everyone for explaining your view of how it works on Linux, it seems to be very chaotic when it comes to this topic, everyone has their own understanding and some contradict each other. But it was great to get some feedback and food for thought which let me to try other things which I didn’t think of trying before.

Now I finally have some things working on the iGPU because I plugged the monitor into the motherboard instead of the dGPU. It seems that the offloading works well still because things like ollama and video editing still are done on the powerfull dGPU and then somehow the results synchronized to the motherboard output and on the screen.

When it comes to the iGPU I see that many applications run on both at the same time like for example Firefox or Chrome when I look at nvtop. Especially when I watch videos in the browser then the iGPU is mostly active. Also when I use GNOME Shell features like seeing the overview by pressing the Super key or switching between virtual desktops.

With help of switcheroo-control I can now force a program like DarkTable to work specifically on the dGPU.

So while I still don’t have full controll over it, I feel I’m utilizing both graphics cards now much better and that was what I was looking for before I wrote this question, so thanks a lot everyone!

What is https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME then?

It’s a desktop.

I did, but that only allows me to run it in the descrete one where it is already running as far as I understand.

So I read it but it seems only to talk about X and not Wayland, am I missing something?

So there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail2ban which helps already to some degree.

But what are you trying to prevent? You have your services in a docker container, hopefully not running as root, which already makes it difficult to break out even if through a bug someone would be able to get access to the docker container.

I mean its not like your stuff is very important for someone to break in like the pentagon, you probably just have some photos from your phone on it, some lights can be switched on and off and some temperatures read.

I’m not trying to say that you should not care about it but I’m trying to figure out what your threat model is.

Thanks for the offer, but as another commenter explained, what I want doesn’t work on Linux even with the played version, he had the same thought process and did the research and it didn’t work because of some driver issues.

https://radicale.org/ is taking care of our address books, shared calendars for the family, todos and notes, all with one Backend but many different clients on different operating systems.

Thanks for mentioning KDE Plasma Big Screen it’s an interesting attempt. It’s written in Qt, like many of the TV UIs today anyway. I need to check it out.
