Amaterasu , in Vesktop 1.5.2 greatly improves screensharing on Linux

I’ll sound a downer but it lost me on “Discord App”

muhyb ,

Not at all! Developers should stay away from that abomination, especially open-source devs.

SomeGuy69 ,

I choked and had to double read it.

Language is closely intertwined with culture, and playing Wordle in Italian provides players with insights into Italian culture and society. Through the words used in the game, players may encounter references to Italian traditions wordle today italiano, cuisine, landmarks, and more, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of the country and its people.

My friends can finally see and see my streams with this update. Before it was a choppy mess.

screensharing with sound works well, been using this since the past weeks

SmoochyPit , in Vesktop 1.5.2 greatly improves screensharing on Linux

Gonna give this a try! I’ve been jumping between clients on my Hyprland desktop… rn I can’t do global PTT on any third-party apps, despite Hyprland passing the input through to the app exclusively. I haven’t even looked at Vesktop, though!

didn’t notice lmao

I think they’re just making fun of the bad font kerning in the app which causes a gap in the word Unmanaged

seadoo , in MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods

I have no idea how people set up more than one program in proton/lutris/bottles/whatever but it is definitely super cool.

Until proton becomes well documented with tutorials and explanations I feel like this is sadly unachievable for most casual people

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

is super easy with lutris, you juat point to the exe and to the preflx. and badabimbababum it’s done

Thanks, this is cool! Definitely looks fun to play around with, plus logging might help demystify proton nonsense

loo , in Riot official response about League of Legends on Linux for Vanguard anti cheat
@loo@lemmy.world avatar

I’m dual booting windows and linux and I’m only using Windows for applications I can’t get to run on Linux. If I’m installing Vanguard on Windows, could that be a safety concern for my Linux partition? Since I have no personal data on Windows, I wouldn’t mind installing it there, as long as it’s not an issue for my linux partition

Telorand , in NVK Gaming with HDR - Horizon Zero Dawn - 7945HX 4090M

Maybe I’m missing something, but it didn’t look like the GPU was engaging at all. 15fps? That doesn’t seem right. Given that the overlay had a battery percentage reading, and the GPU readings were all zero, I’m guessing this was on a laptop, and it didn’t switch from using the iGPU to using the GPU.

Either that, or NVK has a lot of work to do, and that doesn’t track with recent news about its progress.

OP, is this your test? Can you shed light on the results?

Rustmilian , (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

I believe you’re correct that the GPU isn’t being engaged at all. For one I highly doubt it’s NVK because it’s certified as “Vulkan 1.3 conformant” meaning it’s a complete to spec implementation. The overly also say it’s using a “NVIDIA GeForce GTX 4090 Laptop GPU”… Then it also says that there’s 0 watts being drawn from both the GPU & CPU which is extremely odd.
Maybe it’s a driver issue?

RedWeasel ,

Nouveau doesn’t support power/load reporting yet. Some games will work better than others. Just because it is comformant does not mean it will be fast either. Comformance comes first then optimizations.

That said, it could still be running on the wrong gpu, but i don’t know. My experience when I’ve tried it on my 4080 hasn’t been mind blowing performance, but much better than before all this work started landing.

Rustmilian , (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

What about the proprietary driver? IDK if they’re even using Nouveau or not. NVK is apart of Mesa… Also just noticed that they’re running it under Wayland directly… And with HDR. Kinda in a very experimental area. Point is we need more specs. Would love to see a hw-prope.

RedWeasel ,

It is definitely Nouveau. NVK is just the Vulkan side of it. NVK is in a experimental level. I personally would not run it daily yet, ignoring the lack of some video features and dlss in games. They have made huge strides in the last couple years with it though,

Edit: He has been posting videos for a while now running NVK, btw.

Rustmilian , (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

I’m aware. I’m just pointing out that he needs to publicize his specs hw-prope and that he’s stacked on 3 layers of experimental software. Nvidia on Wayland is WIP, HDR on Wayland is WIP and NVK is work in progress, even VKD3D with NVK is experimental.

warmaster , (edited )

It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you that NVK’s latest progress has little to do with performance, and that it will take years to achieve performance parity or even remotely near the proprietary drivers.

One thing that should raise morale for us all, is that Nvidia is now actively contributing to the respective FOSS drivers.

ReverseModule OP ,
@ReverseModule@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

NVK is slow at the moment, yes. DX12 just started working as well and is not in mainline yet. This is with a particular PR merged.

Telorand ,

Oh really? I thought I saw elsewhere that it had achieved and even exceeded performance of the proprietary driver in another test. Maybe it was just that specific case.

RedWeasel ,

It can be fast in one test and slow in 49 on one generation and on another generation it could be faster on 10 and slower 40. Just the nature of complex software supporting various generation of hardware.

Last time I tried it, the game’s performance dropped severely when launched through MO2 in Wine.

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

didn’t test them against one other

What are the extra 2 traffic light buttons on the windows in your DE?

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

they’re the secret fourth and fifth window buttons that the government doesn’t want you to know about (one pins window behind everything when there is a lotta windows, the other pins it on top of everything)

UprisingVoltage ,

This is very useful actually, how did you get those?

ichbinjasokreativ ,

Most distros have something like this, on gnome you just right-click the bar that the other buttons are on

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

on kde you can edit the top bar

TheGrandNagus , (edited )

The above user seems to be on Plasma. In which case it’s buried in the settings somewhere (KDE in a nutshell lol). I believe it’s somewhere in the themes section, IIRC.

On Gnome you can access the same functionality by right clicking the header bar. There’s also an option to have a window always move to the workspace you’re on, which is pretty cool.

E: idk who’s downvoting me relaying features that someone asked about, but that’s hilarious. How did that offend you?

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

on kde it is also accessible with a right click AND in themes

TheGrandNagus ,

Ok

DarkThoughts ,

Wait. What's the point / practical use of pinning a window behind everything else?

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

sometimes I wanna have terminal behind an bunch of small windows with documentatiom in front of them

Ninmi , in MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods
@Ninmi@sopuli.xyz avatar

I really only wanted mods to fix the horrible 2011 Xbox 360 UI and to remove the dynamic enemy level scaling, but for the latter no manual install guides were provided and it seems you must use one of these mod organizing softwares for whatever fucking reason.

For mod organizer no install instructions were provided for a Linux/GOG combination so I just gave up trying to mod Skyrim. I just wanted two goddamn mods and I failed.

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

I am running it pirated on lutris, no installer all manual, I might be able to help you

squid_slime ,

Mod managers have sadly created a reliance / dependency. Arma and dayz are heavily effected by this 😕

Montagge ,

I have MO2 4.2.2 working in bottles to mod the gog version of Fallout 3

To get it to work I had to copy and paste the installer into the bottle and install dotNet 4.8

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

damn is there a 4.2.2? Only readon for me using the ols version is rhat it has been like this since windows and everything is just symlinked from there lol

Montagge ,

Sorry I typed that backwards lol

It’s 2.4.4

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

ah got it

UnixAwesome , in SteamVR Beta gets Linux fixes, plus Beta updates for Desktop and Steam Deck

VR isn’t necessary

Para_lyzed ,

By the same (virtually nonexistent) logic, neither are games in general, or operating systems, or computers, or anything that is not strictly “necessary” for one to survive. Yet all of these things clearly have a strong intrinsic value to society, else we wouldn’t be working so hard on all of it. If you don’t enjoy VR, don’t use it; it doesn’t get much simpler than that. I can guarantee you that no one on the SteamVR dev team is going to care about your opinion or where you think their resources are better spent. Want to change that? Apply for a job at Valve. Pointless comments aren’t going to do anything.

azvasKvklenko , in NVK Gaming with HDR - Horizon Zero Dawn - 7945HX 4090M

Is HDR now possible for Wine with winewayland.drv or is it still wrapped in Gamescope and use the WSI Vulkan layer?

ReverseModule OP ,
@ReverseModule@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

This is through gamescope.

germtm_ , in MO2 works amazing with proton, even with an excessive amount of mods

the only thing that wasn’t working {for me at the very least.} were the direct downloads from Nexus via MO2 but that’s inconsequential since you can always just install the mods manually.

but yes, MO2 works perfectly in Wine/Proton. it’s especially easy to set up a shortcut to it using Lutris. for example, installing New Vegas using the GOG install script and then editing the settings to replace NV’s executable with the MO2 executable.

WeLoveCastingSpellz OP ,

yep that’s what I did it all just as smooth as windows
