I like this, it’s very easy to understand the config file. I would like application specific mappings so I’m going to try keyd first, but I’ll keep this in my back pocket. Thanks!
That looks similar to the other one I tried, so I don’t think it will work. The problem comes into play when holding down a key - the text expanders generally won’t repeat the key properly to work in the game for continuous movement.
Looks like a cool tool though and I’m going to check it out for other uses! Thanks!
I am in a similar situation, I use quest 2 a lot to drive in assetto corsa. I have a Thrustmaster TS 300 PC, I don’t think there are any Linux drivers for that base.
Oversteer should be what you need. Just take note that you need an extra driver module for the T300RS.
Edit, if you meant the TS-PC you may be out of luck. It looks like support for the TS-PC has an open request in the T300RS driver but it isn’t implemented yet.
Nice! Is there a kit you’re buying or are you sourcing parts from Aliexpress or similar? If you’re interested there is a guy doing open source pedal sets and shifter which I’m thinking of building as next project. www.youtube.com/
I haven’t tried ALVR in over a year, but last time I tried it it had some major issues, good to see someone report that it’s working well for them, I look forward to trying it again when I can
Then why make the distinction when A can often be B? People like to paint a picture of the little guy being bullied by the big guy into making a decision that players didn’t like, but we’ve seen plenty of times that developers will be the ones making the decisions we didn’t like. If there’s an incentive to do the bad thing, developers will do it without being told to.
That’s a strawman argument, sorry. You’re arguing as if all developers are publishers. You just said it “A can often be B,” but A is not always B.
Publishers do this bullshit. Period. And in small shops, developers are the publishers, sure. But when they make those decisions, they don’t make them in their roles of developers. They do so in their roles of publishers. And also, not all publishers and not all developers-turned-publishers are dicks.
But I understand what you’re saying. When they are dicks, they are dicks.
Developers can and have made this decision on their own even when they’ve got a publisher, because publishing deals come in all sizes, and online connection requirements that inevitably lead to a game’s death are pervasive in the industry right now.
No, not really. You just said it, man. “Publishing deals come in all sizes.” Publishing. Publishing. So, it’s the publishers who make those decisions. Not developers. That developers must accept them is one thing. But the publishers made the decision.
*Publishers? Shareholders are the problem.*If any involved can make a change then we should do that. I can’t talk of publishers but I can speak dev.
If many of us refused towrite code unless it will be shared under an open source/free software license then publushers would have no choice but to let people self host. Sadly school doesn’t appear to teach programmers ethics of software, specifically flsoftware freedomn
University. Cyberethics is a required course where I graduated from, and it goes deep into open source licensing and the free software movement. I can tell you from experience presenting on open source licensing and the free software movement during that class that almost no one in the class gave a shit about it. It was quite sad to see so many people uninterested in a topic I’m so passionate about, especially because these are the types of people who would go on to be my coworkers.
The fact of the matter is that most people (including programmers) will never care about it, simply because they refuse to understand how important it is or how they can make money from it. It seems to me that people just want to conform to the systems that already exist (copyright and proprietary software) instead of challenging and changing the way we view, write, and interact with software.
But of course, that only really applies to students who graduate with a Bachelor’s in CS, and likely doesn’t apply to every university. The layperson still has absolutely no idea what “open source” even means or why it is important. In fact, the layperson is often brainwashed into thinking that the best thing for enterprises is the best thing for them, so in all likelihood most people would rather fight for copyright than against it, even if they had been informed on open source licensing and the free software movement. US businesses do a damn good job of brainwashing their consumers into echoing their views.
I wouldn’t recommend it, but my current setup is I reach into the computer, unplug one SSD and plug in the other. Not the most high-tech dual boot but yeah
I can’t leave them both plugged in because Windows keeps complaining that my drive is damaged and it needs to run a disk check. The reason I don’t set up grub or something else properly is mainly laziness. I use one OS for a project that lasts several months at a time so I don’t switch between them that often. It’s just not worth the time or effort to save two minutes every few months
Probably could, but it’s not worth the time or effort. I switch so rarely that even if it only took five minutes to configure, that’s still more time than I spend switching in six months
There shouldn’t be any configuration, you just push F11 or whatever and select the other boot drive. I still do that when I boot into Windows like once/year.
I’d assumed you’d read my other comment. When I do have both drives plugged in at once, Windows always does a disk check on every startup, which takes a long time and is completely unnecessary. Just switching which device I boot from isn’t a good solution for my computer
As mentioned, I’ve never had that issue. I put the Windows disk in whichever slot it prefers and Linux in another, then configure the BIOS to prefer the Linux drive.
I think it’s doing the disk check because it’s in a different slot than it expects or something.
i only switched over quite recently (a few years ago)
i swear there has been significant improvements in wifi, bluetooth, gpu support, gaming over the last 10 years that made me think it was now good enough
also there was areas where linux was outdoing windows for quite some time; system wide audio equalizer, customization generally, home services and self hosting, development tools
Linux audio is really under appreciated. I’m one of the nutjobs that still uses a PCI sound card and I’ve never had to install a third party driver. I can manually adjust the output and EQ for every port, disable or enable them on the fly, etc. The only thing I’m missing is hardware EAX support for older games but I’ve kind of accepted that’s just a dragon I’ll always be chasing.
This somehow reminds me of my first Ubuntu installation (Dapper Drake). One of my friends gave me a PCI TV Tuner card. They couldn’t get it to work for some reason, drivers that wouldn’t install or something. I got the box and the CD 💿 (drivers for Windows) too. The card worked out-of-the-box after first boot. I only had to install some frontend from the default repo to use it for recording. Amazing times!
