  • I’m using rootless podman, not sure if that will make a big difference.

    Add the user running the containers to the video using the following command:

    sudo usermod -a -G video [username]
    

    Then I have this in my quadlet for the containers that need HW acceleration. As I understand it, keep-groups means the user rights to use video resources will be passed from the OS into the container.

    AddDevice=/dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128
    AddDevice=/dev/dri/card0:/dev/dri/card0
    PodmanArgs=--group-add keep-groups
    

    I don’t think I have anything else relevant in my set up. Hope it helps!













  • This exactly. I’m an engineer but day-to-day I’m mainly using the Office shite (I tried for suite but ended up with former and happy to run with it) to do my job. The amount of extraneous effort I have to make to do tasks that would have been simple in 2005 is completely ridiculous. Yet on my home computer running Arch BTW, I can do everything instantaneously, the only downside is that some supplier I don’t really care for wants my presentation in pptx. If it wasn’t for work data security requirements, I’d just use my personal equipment for everything because I’d be able to work so much faster.

    Edit: not to mention a lot of FOSS software is better than the professional bullshit (AutoCAD needs to die), it’s just a lot more effort to get up to speed with because colleagues around you don’t know it (yet)
