I’ve played this game every year since 1998, and each year I try a wider range of distros. Long story short, EndeavourOS is the first distro that worked reliably and has by far the best support resources.

Yeah that’s where I’m at as well. Irritating not world ending.
Ok that explains it. I tried applying the plasma config earlier. Didn’t fix.
It is blank right now. I’m looking at xrandr right now, but a basic check into sddm.conf suggests I can’t set resolution in there, but can’t call scripts. Might come back to this though.
(Edited for clarity) This was interesting. It gave me arandr to generate a script which is great for lazy me. That script “works” in that it doesn’t give any errors when I test it, but it actually doesn’t have any effect on the login screen. In fact with more digging i discovered that xrandr just doesn’t work at all. I tried setting the display to a lower resolution (default is 3440x1440 so I used 1920x1080) in the control panel to test the xrandr command but xrandr tells me the mode (3440x1440) is not found. I looked again in xrandr and saw that any resolution higher 1920x1080 is not listed any more. I reset the resolution back to 3440x1440 in the control panel then looked in xrandr again and all the expected resolutions are listed again.
xrandr errors when I try to set my display to anything other than the setting it is currently using. Either I’m don’t something stupid with the syntax (99.999% confident I’m doing it right), or xrandr is broken with my setup. Maybe kde plasma 6 and wayland is giving me grief here? My PC has an AMD 7900XT GPU, so maybe it just doesn’t like my GPU for some reason.
Here is the output from xrandr for my current settings:
DP-1 connected primary 3440x1440+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 800mm x 330mm
HDMI-A-1 connected 1920x1080+758+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 520mm x 290mm
Here are the commands I’m using in the Xsetup script.
xrandr --output HDMI-A-1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 758x0 --rotate normal
xrandr --output DP-1 --primary --mode 3440x1440 --pos 0x1080 --rotate normal
Put words together into sentences that make me sound like a grown-up.
I have the same problem the other way around. When I use chrome it feels like I’m using a kids browser. Slightly cutesy with too many curvy bits. Sort of like the difference between Duplo (chrome) and Lego (Firefox). Basically the same thing, but also not.
My son has a gaming laptop that is plugged in constantly. I vaguely remember reading that all modern laptops protect the battery to some degree, though not sure how. I’m guessing it is by using the mains while charging. Not sure what the damage is to a battery that is constantly fully charged.
I desperately want a simple GUI for setting the sample and bit rates for my audio input device. Mine is a Focusrite 2i2 gen 3, but there should be a fairly universal way to do this in Pipewire.
Linux user. Installs fancy gui. Uses terminal for file management.

NowTV is to watch the formula 1 race live.
Ok now this is interesting. Wonder if Roblox would also work. Thanks.
I haven’t considered pirating VST’s. My only issue with pirating DRM protected stuff is the risk of having viruses injected into them.
NowTV is the streaming service Sky provide in the UK and this is where I watch the Formula 1. There are no working extensions of hacks for it that I’ve found so far.
Grapejuice and vinegar were working but Roblox disabled the use of Wine again recently so those don’t work anymore. Apparently it gets used for cheats (I somehow doubt there are enough linux user in the first place for it to matter, let alone linux users that want to cheat).
Office 365 in the browser is ok,a nd I’ve used it, but still not quite right.
Yeah that’s what it said but it is required by the widevine aur package. I guess I could fork that package to remove the glibc-widevine package?
What, things like sudo rm -f /
This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.
Does it still run Roblox? Since it stopped working under wine (again) I read it was the only way to get Roblox on Linux.
I understand your pain. Most things you need to configure are either in your home direct under .config or they prompt for admin if they need it. However, not everything has a convenient gui interface to make config changes. This is mostly ok because configuration is usually done once and then never touched again.This is how Linux works, it just isn’t a like for like replacement for windows, though it can achieve the same goals.
I like a better gui for adjusting audio devices, specifically the sample and bit rates. I haven’t found anything that can do it in a straightforward gui.
He should remove the “post” button while he’s at it.
