I’m gonna have to downvote you on this.
We ain’t being a baby. Coriander/Cilantro is a genetic thing. You either love it, or you hate it. We can’t help not liking it.
I find it tastes like soap and overpowers everything it’s put into. So if you want to know my experience, cut up a bar of soap and put it into your salad like it’s some sort of weird cheese and try eating it. It’s not a good experience.
I have 2 PCs
my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.
My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.
From what I can see, I’ve not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn’t do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don’t really use it much. It’s connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don’t have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.
Full specs of my second PC, as it’s quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.
Conversely, failing to quick save us the bane of our existence.
Interesting, if it’s a native Wayland app, I’d guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.
I’d think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.
Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?
X11 Doesn’t support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You’ll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.
The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.
2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)
Doesn’t mean it won’t either - most people won’t realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they’ll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it’s out of support. (And when they do, it’s “how can I get rid of this annoying error” not “how can I update this?” - they probably didn’t even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won’t like it if you do)
Hell most people don’t even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn’t even tell me what their operating system name is.
I’ve had relatives that try to ask what’s going on and say “I have 11” without elaborating that it’s windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.
It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.
Hey, that counts in my book!
It’s hypr-chan!
Honestly I would love to see a webcomic about hypr-chan, I wonder what the significance of all the Holo cat. And that bus looks super sci-fi, she must be riding the hypr-loop
I recognise that internet router on the right. That looks like the “smart router” Telstra gives their customers - we have one we used to use back when we had Telstra cable. It’s currently playing the duty of an Ethernet switch for dad’s office.
The worst of these is Bluetooth. I bought a USB dongle with a chipset said to be compatible.(CSR 8510 A10) Then I found it was a knockoff version of the chipset with some weird ass quirks that make it incompatible with the official drivers. To this day it’s the one thing I never bothered to try and fix, even though others have succeeded in making the fix. The fix wasn’t something I could easily turn into a DKMS module as I have no idea how to do that, and as a result it had to be compile with the kernel manually and I want ready to go diving into kernel and at the same time also trying to work out exactly what the quirks were.
I eventually bought a dongle with a chipset that worked was either not a knockoff or it was a perfect reproduction. It worked flawlessly, and I’ve bought more since then for PCs with no Bluetooth support.
Some games proton might not be enabled by default - on Linux go into the steam game settings for the game you want, click the compatibility page, and check the box “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, select the version - if one doesn’t work, try another - proton 8 is a good start, proton experimental is usually a good second option. Wait for steam to download proton if it hasn’t already, and the game should now play like normal
Note: some games might require additional configuration, or custom versions of proton to work. Other games won’t work due to anticheat.
https://www.ProtonDB.com is a good option to check on games and see how to get the more complicated ones running.
https://Areweanticheatyet.com is a good way to see what games that have anticheat will work and what won’t work.
For non steam games running proton try installing the heroic games launcher - it’s like a combined launcher for Epic, Gog and Amazon Games.
That’s not usually the problem. Usually you can generally do this on any distro, even ones that have a higher level of integration with their DE.
The problem is more likely to be issues caused by overlapping configurations and base libraries that can cause weird issues if they aren’t swapped out or kept default. If they aren’t default and are managed by the package manager, usually the package manager will mark it as modified and often won’t touch it unless you purge the configurations. Some will ask and some will straight up nuke em.
How did you fix it?
“We didn’t, but at some point he started spending more time at my house trying to diagnose the problem than he did at his own place. Eventually we just decided to move in together”
Nah the admins killed the instance before the Taliban could at best, kill it, at worse proxy it and gather information.
Seriously gaining control of a domain can allow you to do pretty nefarious things.
Got curious as to what it would recommend me … first choice…
Arch.
They’ve got me in a box here - I haven’t switched from arch in like 3-4 years now. In fact my configuration is mostly stagnant. I just use Pacman/yay to keep it mostly up to date. But otherwise it’s a complete mess.
What is this, a wedding with an orgy at the reception?
VLC works most of the time. That said some videos VLC can’t seem to decode correctly - I never get VLC complaining about unsupported file formats, but I do get weird artifacts and glitched rendering when I try to play certain ones.
It’s then that I usually try MPV or MPlayer. One of those will usually play the video correctly.
We should probably change it to “American style capitalism” as the behaviour seems to have either originated or mainlined in America first. But it’s seen in most global and domestic software companies around the globe today.
