Carmageddon and GTA were quite some bangers, and I think they still are. Or Age of Empires 1&2.

REISUB would sync all remaining disk operations and then restart the entire machine.

You could try the old combo for restarting X: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I’m not sure though, whether it will work on your system.

This whole post is a joke about Moon Nazis! Is it?

BTRFS works great across all my drives under Nobara. Same applues when I access these drives from Ubuntu.

Steam also has no issues in my case. Even wine works line Intended.

A recovery environment is overrated under Windows. Just backup your files and reinstall from scratch.

n3cr0 ,

In this case I’m happy I always installed Windows without RE partition. It works fine and you can still uninstall updates. Broken system files can also be replaced by a fresh pull from Windows Update.

Don’t they know, Windows comes with a preinstalled PDF reader, making this Adobe bloatware pretty much obsolete?

Subscription fees? They can stream advertisements right into the brain. Best when sleeping.

Why even view pirated low-quality content, hidden behind a paywall? I mean, that’s what too many newspapers and magazines offer. Unfortunately.

There is no point in typing the “m” in vim. Just edit your files with the vi shortcut.

n3cr0 ,

I can’t confirm this. when using vi, I have syntax highlighting, split windows and even search and replace. Even my Termux installation states it’s vi improved, when issuing vi -h.

n3cr0 ,

That’s what I’m trying to say - in the probably most upsetting way - All of my distros - Ubuntu, Nobara, Debian and so on: all of them have vi as a symlink - only, these days.

Sounds like a job for me. I would sleep on the production line 8h a day if they pay me for that.

Bigger companies are forced to do such programmes. I was working on a software tool for managing these ideas.

The problem I see here, is the software was boring, the project was boring and the users in charge are bored, too. There is hardly anyone who takes the process serious.

I’m not surprised, by IBM’s decision. However, I think they waste a lot of potential by not listening properly to their employers.

That’s straight the opposite of my experience. 🤭

And that’s why I prefer KVM, even in corporate environments: I don’t need to care about licensing and dropped support.

When will we defederate from these 58.99% ?

This reads pretty much misleading to me.

They say the flipper could bomb phones within 30 ft range. Via NFC! I would even doubt them stating a range of 30 mm.

n3cr0 ,

How about just booting Linux and running fwupdmgr? It comes with the mayor distros by default and its supported by most manufacturers.

n3cr0 ,

I take that as my fallback solution when my Nobara installation’s stability problems overwhelm me again. Maybe switching OS at some point.

However, you just covered the most important / critical part: the basics. The rest of the setup must still have been some tedious work.

n3cr0 ,

I’m currently struggling with Nobara and the growing amount of bugs with each new kernel update.

Otherwise I would have recommended that one, since it offers some great convenient features, like a graphical management tool for all sorts of Wine versions, which can be installed in parallel. The kernel supports fsync and is tuned for low latency. Game performance is decent and I also got all my games and launchers (native Linux and also Wine) working.

For the audio part, there is pipewire, which works like a charm. There is also a compatible flatpack for DSP/equalizer which I couldn’t find it on Ubuntu’s snap store: JamesDSP. Now, after some tuning, my rather flat-sounding headphones sound do super boomy.

n3cr0 ,

It started with conflicts between the preinstalled gnome extensions - namely the desktop icons broke other extensions, like Pop!_shell for window tiling. So I had to disable desktop icons.

My latest installed kernel (6.5.11) breaks screen detection - The resolution is stuck at 1024x768.

My PC gets stuck (probably on self test) after reboot or switching it on, after Nobara has shut down. Solution: Pull the power plug, wait 10 seconds, reconnect and turn it on.

I expect more to break with the next updates.

n3cr0 ,

Alrighty then: Now I have a reason to switch graphics cards and install Nobara on my other SSD. I bought a Radeon RX 7600 for this setup, because of AMD’s praised open-source drivers. My spare GPU is an RTX 3060, so I can actually test both worlds.

n3cr0 ,

That’s what folks over here tell me, and you are most probably right. There is still one more issue scratching my head though: RayTracing performance on Cyberpunk 2077: It works great on high settings with stable 50 FPS minimum on my Windows 10 + Nvidia build, but it’s quite the opposite on this Nobara + AMD system. 5FPS and slowdowns are just unplayable. I expected the bad AMD performance being fixed by today. I think I should swap GPUs between both systems and test again.

n3cr0 ,

I didn’t know, vanilla Wine had no Vulkan support. I took it for granted since I run on Proton GE.

Judging by the heading, most people driving at night must be blind and speeding. Just keeps your eyes open and drive responsibly!

I’m looking forward for huge graphics enhancements - like in Quake Epsilon.

The control scheme could also use a makeover.

I didn’t notice they broke it. The website works on my Firefox as usual. Maybe you lack some plugins? (like ublock origin, sponsor block, age restriction bypass…)

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users (www.404media.co)

Firefox users are reporting an 'artificial' load time on YouTube videos. YouTube says it's part of a plan to make people who use adblockers "experience suboptimal viewing, regardless of the browser they are using."

n3cr0 ,

This is hillarious! I didn’t even notice that. YT always delayed video loading a little. Is this really a change?

n3cr0 ,

This is not accurate at all. Germans don’t need breakfast. And now get back to work!

n3cr0 OP ,

Maybe “Spatial audio” fits my description better than “surround sound”. I wasn’t quite sure whether additional processing is mandatory for realistic ingame sound. Back in the day (long long ago), EAX 4.0 was a huge improvement above direct sound. I guess that has changed, luckily!

Long story short: What I’m looking for is an immersive sound simulation for ingame environments, and I don’t like to lack behind proprietary solutions.

n3cr0 OP ,

Is there a reason why you chose the smaller X version over the default Barracuda? Was it just the price or did you expect any issues?

n3cr0 OP ,

I’m not sure AptX is capable enough. In LowLatency mode, it may sound dull again. But higher bitrates come with too much latency.

I guess LLAC would be the codec to go, but I lack the experience with it.

n3cr0 OP ,

Since pipewire is the default in Nobara (I recently started with it), I hope I don’t need to care too much about it (fingers crossed!). What I want to achieve is a realistic feeling of the room accoustics in games. I recently noticed that in Cyberpunk 2077 (windows, with the xbox headset): I could close my eyes and still tell where I am in the game.
