Can I get a summary of what’s going on in Chinese Linux land? That seems pretty interesting; I always wonder what programs the East uses vs the West

Do you know how wasteful? Is there like an actual overhead when running obs, or is it more like Nvidia shadow play or steams recording? Are you actually recording when you have that active or is it just actually creating a virtual screen?

Anyone know how I can get remote access with my monitors off while using Wayland ? Everytime I log in if I have my monitors off I just get a black screen. I bought one of those dummy HDMI plugs no dice. Works fine with x11 but I don’t want to have to relog every time I get to my computer.

Xbox will still exist as a platform, just not the console. It’ll probably just be stuff like the Xbox ally x; Xbox partners with brands to sell hardware with cut down versions of windows that has access to 3rd party markets like steam and such, but a major emphasis on the Xbox/windows store.

Either way, I don’t think there has to be a third platform if Xbox went away. PC looked kinda shaky there for a moment in the '00s/'10s, but at this point it seems pretty well poised to become the dominant platform. Xbox and PlayStation already port games to steam and even GoG. Nintendo is the harder nut to crack, I’m not sure what’d it take for them to get out of the hardware business. I read somewhere they have enough cash on hand to operate at a loss for like a decade or something.

Penny Arcade Expo is one of the biggest gaming conventions in America (and Aus) so I’d say yeah. I think they still make the comic too.

I get ai being an existential threat to most of the denizens of lemmy (overwhelmingly techy and left leaning) but ai vastly simplified the Linux install process for me. I took a c++ class 10 years ago that I failed and that was about the extent of my programming knowledge so without AI it would’ve been a nightmare trying to get everything set up. Gemini remembered what distro I was installing, my drives and their /dev/ name or whatever, how I should insert those into fstab, why grub wasn’t picking up my nobara install, etc. AI might be useless in other situations but computer commands and troubleshooting I think it’s the one place it excels.

I concur on retrodeck, just a way better experience than emudeck. I like just knowing when I feel like emulating I click retrodeck and boom, it’s all there. Way more cohesive.

Wish they were more widespread. Closest to me is… 800 miles away? Was nice when I was near one.

I always use isthereanydeal before buying anything, and that’ll list gog on there was well. Good practice for getting a deal and buying drm free

The article disagrees, but idk what staffing numbers are right

Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I’m still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?

While I have you here too, I’ve just found one more bug that’s been bothering me… In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won’t select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It’s kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn’t really bring up anything conclusive. Here’s a clip to see what I’m talking about. Thank you again!

I’m in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn’t seem to replicate the issue…

Thanks for helping!

I’m on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it’s using wayland as well. I’m using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.

I really can’t peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I’ve only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that…

Ok, I’m not sure why I didn’t try this, but I downloaded just the linux …exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What’s the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?

Thanks for the response, no dice though.

Probably because this post was submitted 9 hours before.

“No officer, this fully assembled PC with no boxes or receipts was definitely brought from America, the country I am now returning to.”

Lol I kinda liked lockpicking in kcd1. Has it changed?

Were you a big dragon age beforehand? From what I can tell, it seems like old fans actually did like the game but newcomers (who I’m sure were the reason the game morphed so much) had a much colder reception. I loved dao, hated da2, and liked dai but still haven’t taken the plunge on this one.

Any diehard pillars fans who have played it? For the most part it doesn’t seem super well received but I wonder how much of a bump it gets for being in the pillars franchise. I loved the first two and would love to continue my time in eora. Haven’t dived in yet mostly because of the price tag, waiting for it to get to at least $60

Just waiting for gog… Hold the line…
