    I just hacked my drivers to make my hdmi output a “thingy that hooks into antenna” signal

    lemann ,

    I’m jealous 😭 that thing can actually play NES gun games, unlike modern LCDs

    ultra ,

    Why can’t modern LCDs play NES gun games?

    lemann ,

    AFAIK, several milliseconds delay that LCDs have when updating the display, and sometimes the residual brightness from the LCD backlight (when the NES blacks out the display for a fraction of a second to figure out what the light gun is pointing at) isn’t accepted by the console

    CRTs can go completely black (similar to modern Oleds) and update instantly, so these work as expected with the light gun

    ultra ,

    So would high refresh rate OLEDs work?

    Declamatie ,

    That is fucking cool

    What’s dated about it?

    wallmenis OP ,

    The format is over 2 years old and kind of dead as far as my knowledge goes…

    A virtual desktop switcher, it allow you to quickly switch between virtual desktops

    Frederic ,

    2 workspaces, let’s say you have one 1920x1080 monitor but a virtual screen of 3840x1080

    I have one 5120x1440 monitor, do I win?

    I have one monitor (laptop screen) and 8 workspaces

    elfahor ,

    Jokes on you, I have two monitors and 9 workspaces (I don’t know how you call these)

    30p87 ,

    3 monitors (another one to come) and 10 default + 4 custom workspaces

    lloptyr ,

    Just gonna slide in here with 2 monitors each with 10 unique workspaces. Using a WM, its often just nicer to have each application have its own workspace.

    30p87 ,

    Yep, for me KeePassXC, spotify-tui, Discord (aka. a Firefox instance with canary.discord.com) and games have their own instance. IDEs etc. are on the main screen, so WS 2, and Firefox on WS 3 at the right.

    Virtual desktops/workspaces.

    Virtual desktops: KDE / Wikipedia / Gnome

    TLDR: If you don't want your desktop to be a mess, you can spawn applications in different virtual desktops, and switch between them.

    JokeDeity ,

    Windows has had them since 10 (and obviously far earlier via 3rd party).

    wallmenis OP , (edited )

    I think they removed the native ones on 11. Correct me if I am wrong though…

    Edit: I was wrong.

    JokeDeity ,

    I’m not on 11 yet, but Google says it’s still there by default.

    wallmenis OP ,

    Thank you for the correction!

    MonkderZweite ,

    Yes, 15 years after everyone else (hence 3rd party).

    JokeDeity ,

    Neat.

    If Windows 10 had the feature since 2015 (first W10 release) that would be at least 3 years after Gnome; Earliest mention I can find and that's worst case scenario for Gnome.

    As for KDE Plasma it had those since at least 4.2.0, Plasma 4.2.0 announcment that version was released in 2009.

    siberianlaika ,

    Gnome 2 had virtual desktops

    Limitless_screaming ,
    @Limitless_screaming@kbin.social avatar

    I don't know much about Gnome's history, that's why I used the earliest mention I could find.

    KDE Plasma may have had it before 4.2.0 too, but I cannot find KDE 3, 2, or 1 announcements. Most likely because of the name change.

    Holzkohlen ,

    No they had to wait specifically for Plasma 420 for the most important feature. Look forward to Plasma 6.9 as well.

    spauldo ,

    KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They’d have been laughed at if they didn’t.

    frokie ,

    And macos since much earlier!

    Magister ,
    @Magister@lemmy.world avatar

    3rd party for win95 had it, maybe even 3.11
