Issue with Valve Index

I got myself a valve index, as I’ve heard that it works well on GNU/Linux (I use Debain 12 with GNOME). Turns out, there were a bunch of hurtles. At first, my cable was just broken, so I needed to get that relaced. Later on when I got the cable, Everything worked fine, but nothinig is being displayed in the headset. The screen...

Honestly I doubt it that Deckard will change that much. First the basics must be fixed. My Index is also laying around collecting dust. Worked okay-ish at first but is mostly unusable at the moment.

AMD GPUs are cursed for me

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I...

I use an AMD 7900rx with an AMD 7950x processor since almost a year with Gnome / Wayland on Arch. No problems up to now. Yes, I am a gamer too.

As others said it depends on the distribution you use.

Sponsored links: Mozilla gets money for AD links showing up below the search url on the new tabs page. If you do not disable them (they are on by default).

glibc is a library, gcc is the compiler.

Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence,...

I use Gnome but Cinnamon and Gnome are not that different in that topic IIRC. I have to mount the remote folder via file manager (Nautilus) then I can access the files in Code.

StefanT ,

Let’s call it “soonish”. The old proton versions still need 32 bit libs if they do not backport the feature.

StefanT ,

Great article. Reminds me of the time when I started using Linux as my main work system, back with kernel 0.99z

StefanT ,

But then they would show the general public that Linux is a thing worth mentioning. I doubt that many people outside IT know about CBL Mariner.

StefanT ,

It reads “158 Tesla Megapacks”. But yeah, these could contain Duracell :D

I always run occ upgrade and occ db:add-missing-indices after a package upgrade, just to be sure that I do not miss any database migrations. Using Archlinux I wrote a pacman hook so that it happens automatically.

StefanT ,

You could have a look at Kerberos. That’s what Microsoft took as base for AD afaik.

StefanT ,

I use the Nextcloud news app which is a RSS feed reader. But mainly because I run a Nextcloud instance anyways. For news only I would not install Nextcloud - too much overhead.

StefanT ,

Ubuntu using Snaps might be more of an issue than Gnome 44 vs older version. Not?

Certbot is great. Let's Encrypt is great. (lemmy.world)

I’ve been downloading SSL certificates from my domain provider, using cat to join them together to make the fullchain.pem, uploading them to the server, and myself adding a 90 day calendar reminder. Every time I did this I’d think I should find out about this Certbot thing....

I had no problem to install my CA on my Pixel (Android 13). I read that this was not possible for some time but Google changed it.

Is it possible to make audio from both channels come out of the "front left" on pulse audio?

I hope it’s fine to ask this here, I’m using endeavor os with KDE and got some little speakers for my pc, they however only seem to play sound from the “front left” channel, is there a way to make pulse audio send all audio on it? Like, mono mode? I couldn’t find anything that does that…...

StefanT ,

If you use pipewire instead of pulse audio then you can install pipewire-jack and then use any of the jack patchbay applications to rewire the channels. Currently I use qpwgraph but there are several options.

What is your unbiased opinion on Manjaro?

I am a Linux noobie and have only used Mint for around six months now. While I have definitely learned a lot, I don’t have the time to always be doing crazy power user stuff and just want something that works out of the box. While I love Mint, I want to try out other decently easy to use distros as well, specifically not based...

StefanT ,

They say that the arch-installer is a great way to install Arch. In case you give it a try again. It’s bundled with the Arch Iso.

Transfer the app through scp […]

I use an ad-hoc while loop in a shell with inotifywait to wait for changes in the watched directory and then scp it.
