I’m a fan of the t14. However, the keyboard has increasingly gotten shit

Amp-off and use nohup

Secret300 , 5 months ago in Niri: scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor

I downloaded it and tried it out. I honestly haven’t used just a WM in years so I’m very excited but completely lost haha. It was pretty well out the box but I need to install waybar

vojel , 5 months ago in Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux?

I ended up using 3rd party controllers with 2,4Ghz dongles like 8bitdo. I even blacklisted the Bluetooth kernel module because it is so borked.

LeFantome , 5 months ago in The Land Before Linux: Let's talk about the Unix desktops – It takes more than open source, it takes open standards and consensus

On the consumer front, I think the wild card is gamers. There are many that care more about their games than their desktop.

If people come for the gaming and stay for the desktop, we may see a real surge in Linux desktop share.

More and more of what we use is cross-platform as well. There are fewer and fewer apps tying us to one desktop or the other.

It is getting easier to move. The question is why to move. I think gaming could be the driver.

lemmyvore , 5 months ago in AMD GPUs are cursed for me

If it makes you feel any better you’re not the only one. I also have this problem. Whenever it was time to upgrade my video card I’d try Ati and later AMD and it would always have some annoying issues. Meanwhile I’m on my 7th or 8th Nvidia card over the years and they’re always great.

extremelyfasttortoise , 5 months ago in Using Linux really ISN'T hard.[Video 26:08]

I wish there was an easy way to run Linux and Windows side by side. Only thing I need windows is for gaming, but I would gladly use Linux for everything else.

I’ve tried dual booting, but after some time it becomes a pain in the ass with my gaming and free time schedule being so hectic.

I’ve tried running it as a VM on Windows Hyper-V and VirtualBox, but it also proved to be a hassle with multiple monitors and different file systems.

Which game(s) are you having trouble running on Linux?

extremelyfasttortoise , 5 months ago

I admit it’s been a long while since I’ve checked up on Linux gaming. My main games are PoE + all the 3rd party tools that you can’t play without, BattleBit Remastered, Assetto Corsa + Competizione, F1 23, FH5, and W40k Darktide.

I also have Moza DD simracing setup, and AFAIK there are no drivers for Linux.

kbal , 5 months ago in AMD GPUs are cursed for me

I don't know if you've tried it yet, but having recently installed 6.7.3 I noticed a whole lot of amdgpu fixes in the changelog. Maybe it will help?

Bitflip , 5 months ago in Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?

git clone ssh://[email protected]/~/dotfiles.git

step6672 , 5 months ago in Distro hoppers, what's always on your install list when you've finished setup and logged in for the first time?

I don’t migrate any config file, always from scratch. My setup isn’t that complicated. Fedora for a long time.

GUI (mostly Flatpaks):

• Firefox
• Chromium (for Xbox Cloud Gaming)
• Extension Manager
• Flatseal
• VeraCrypt
• Stremio

CLI:

• Syncthing

VerseAndVermin , 5 months ago

Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I’m trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.

step6672 , 5 months ago

I have no technical problems. The only tricky part was setting up my controller (good old PS2), as I did have to mess with emulation and things like that. In the end, I just have to run a xboxdrv script before running the game. If you have an original Xbox controller it shouldn’t be a problem.

Anyway, if you encounter any issue: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamepad

EDIT: If you were asking about the cloud gaming experience, it’s pretty good I would say. The image will not be as good as a “physical” Xbox, and probably you will have to deal with queues depending on your location. But, overall, it’s a pretty good deal.

Huh, I thought Kwin supported Squeekboard now. Ah well…
Arcmenu and Dash to Panel will probably make your GNOME easier to use with mouse only

JohnWick OP , 5 months ago

I installed it from AUR and tried it in both KDE and gnome. Both gave me same error so Idk may be not related to DEs I guess.

anamethatisnt , 5 months ago

Since I got curious:
It seems neither KDE and GNOME support the Wayland protocols needed to use Squeekboard.
Squeekboard is built to be used with Phosh, a Mobile Environment: phosh.mobi/about/

administrator , 5 months ago in Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux?

I’ve had some new type of BT issues in recent years and when I search for solutions there’s a wave of users complaining about Linux BT support have regressed “lately” so there’s that.
