As a a quick test, go into the Nvidia control panel and under OpenGL settings disable G-sync. If the problem goes away then you’re affected by the VRR regression. More info here: forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/…/46
For the panels issue, you can launch CS2, press Alt+F3 to open the window settings, go to configure special app settings, then set an option for the app so that it always launches in fullscreen mode.
I also added a shortcut to make games fullscreen by pressing Ctrl+Enter.
I believe this is a bug with KDE and should be reported to them. The same issue is reported on Valve’s repository but nothing has been done from Valve’s side to fix this issue.
I haven’t noticed any issues with a 1080 using i3, so this definitely seems like a KDE issue. Are you getting desktop notifications when it goes black?
I have never been able to get VA working on Linux. I’ve learned to play without it – much as I’ve learned to play without eddb.io (RIP). There are some funky solutions involving VMs and passthrough that I’ve stumbled across before, but nothing that I’ve been willing to try worked well.
I think the 8Bitdo controller has a button layout like a switch pro controller. Try going to steam settings - Controller and change “Use Nintendo Button layout”
Never noticed while gaming for months in high refresh rate screen. I don’t think it’s worth switching to KDE. I’m currently on KDE because I was convinced by others this VRR issue was a problem but honestly there is so many things wrong with KDE I wish I did not switch
Can you elaborate on the issues you have with KDE?
Perhaps you should test Plasma 6 in a KDE Neon live environment, and report any bugs you may find, especially one’s particular to your hardware configuration, that way your particular issues would get patched.
You can also help by making suggestions for general improvements too.
No idea where to report this but this is the list I keep. Some already have reports I could find as far back as 2012.
default screenshot tool does not copy to clipboard (as soon as app closes(which is immediately after the screenshot is taken) the clipboard data is lost)
fix is to keep the app open until after pasting which adds just so much overhead for no reason
display scaling does not work (125% causes all fonts to be fuzzy)
alt tabbing does not work as expected (shift-tab should go back in the alt-tab menu but it does not (apparently only with SOME keyboars??? since 2012: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294249))
while alt tabbing: every other screen disappears which makes me motion sick
while alt tabbing: clicking the screen you want to go to cancels the alt-tab and you land back to where you started ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? This one makes me unreasonably angry every time it happens.
almost every theme breaks krunner (background somehow shifts when hiding??)
default settings app is junkware
side bar behaviour is terrible unless you have it wide enough for it to go double sidebar (eg: when on home in sidebar: search > click on group > click on back > click remove search > puts you in the group again?????)
crashes when changing mundane settings
every single screen looks different, no consistency across the app
it is using some custom text selection logic or SOMETHING because double click text selection in text fields does not select per word
mouse up outside popup while selecting text closes the popup?? (mouse up next to a button that you mouse downed on correctly cancels the mouse click without closing the popup)
many apps show the wayland icon in task bar (every bugreport to kde is just replied with "yeah that's the apps fault" but it works in gnome)
The screenshot issue maybe fixed, have you tested it recently? I assume you mean Spectacle with Klipper. If it’s still happening, it’s likely something simple like the screenshot is being wiped out in Klipper storage when the Spectacle window is closed instead of sticky around.
Perhaps a miss-configuring of the distro you’re using or a bug in Spectacle or Klipper itself.
I’d recommend testing it with the latest version of Spectacle on Plasma 6(for latest Klipper) and checking what’s happening in ~/.local/share/klipper/history*.lst
Then open a bug report on your findings if it’s still happening.
Scaling causing fuzzy font is a known issue related to DPI, it’s supposed to be getting fixed in Plasma 6.
This alt tab (Activities) bug was closed with “Needs Info”, you should probably open another one and provide the missing info using the old bug as reference.
Perhaps they could add/obey an animation, like slide-behind or genie. Might be worth opening a bug ‘suggestion’ report.
That’s a bug for sure, test in Plasma 6 and open a bug report if it’s still there.
I’ve personally never had any issues with theming Krunner, perhaps worth testing in Plasma 6 and opening a bug report.
Default settings app is getting a rework in Plasma 6, try it out make suggestions on how to improve it.
That’s the app not obeying the .desktop rules, it’s a design decision taken as to prevent a particular vulnerability where a malicious app could switch icon extremely rapidly causing all sorts of issues and allowing for potential arbitrary code execution.
Gnome just said “fuck it, we don’t care; won’t fix” and left the vulnerability as is.
In the first forum post, the user having the same problem as I didn’t have base-devel installed and presumably neither did I. I go to intall and it returns this error:
archlinuxfr.db failed to download error: failed retrieving file ‘archlinuxfr.db’ from repo.archlinux.fr : The requested URL returned error: 404 error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)
The second forum suggest that I have to compile ZMusic. I do that and get this error:
fatal: destination path ‘ZMusic’ already exists and is not an empty directory. mkdir: cannot create directory ‘ZMusic/build’: File exists VGM/GYM: Nuked OPN2 emulator will be used CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find PkgConfig (missing: PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:600 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:99 (find_package_handle_standard_args) thirdparty/fluidsynth/src/CMakeLists.txt:157 (find_package)
– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! make: Makefile: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target ‘Makefile’. Stop.
I find the comments in the AUR package page the best source of information to debug AUR issues.
Anyway, if you don’t want to use exactly that AUR package, there are multiple ways to install gzdoom witch some may be easier to install. You many different packages come up when you search gzdoom.
And what comes to other options, for Steam users there is luxtorpeda that integrates with Steam. Lutris users have their gzdoom runner. For the rest there is flatpak version available.
A few years ago I was caught up in an Overwatch 1 ban wave. The ban happened while in a match and support didn’t help. After a few days Blizzard automatically reverted those false Linux bans without any public notice. Iirc this was the second ban wave where Linux were banned and later unbanned in Overwatch.
