I also bought and use this in a terminal and Emacs. I really do feel like it increases legibility at a much smaller font size.

They're referring to the photonix comments. Which are notorious, and serve as a great example of what happens when you don't moderate.

Two finger touch to stop kinetic scroll now works on Linux in Firefox 133 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

This was one of the most annoying things to me switching to Firefox a couple of years ago.

I've also been following this bug since switching (back), and have kinetic scroll turned off for the last few years, I somehow got used to linear scrolling -- it's not something that bothers me anymore, but I'll be happy to switch back now!

Which unplayed game in your library are you most looking forward to playing eventually? in c/[email protected]

I mean it runs on a steam deck -- what's holding you back? Or do you just want to run it with better settings?

Cage: a Wayland kiosk 0.2 released in c/[email protected]

Does this work on a Raspberry Pi? Do Wayland compositors work in general with whatever GPU drivers they have?

As promised, I've open-sourced my exploration game (2 days ahead of release). in c/[email protected]

This is amazing, thank you!

Anyone know if this is one of the first (modern, as in uses a modern engine like Godot) open source games like this where us other kinds of programmers can learn from?

In addition there are also often packages to get hardware acceleration of video working, if you care about saving energy / fan noise there.

Best App Launcher on Linux in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I also use krunner but unless I've misconfigured it, I wouldn't call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).

Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I'm back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn't fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.

Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run "Install "

Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something

Anyone know if the MX creative console from logitech works on Linux (and to what degree? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'm no stranger to DIY nor reverse engineering, so I may still buy it as a winter weekend project.

DIY is difficult because I want real buttons, as well as customizable mini displays (like the Optimus keyboard of Olde)

As long as it shows up as a normal HID keyboard, and the upload protocol is reverse engineered, I'll be happy.

Maybe I'll get one and use the return policy to find out.

I kinda want to hook one up to raspberry pi for some home control, but I'm not sure if the software to configure it works on Linux (or how it even presents itself HID-device wise)

I'm sure it'll eventually be reverse engineered and have some custom drivers on github soon, but a quick google came up empty for this new device.

Edit: Oh I just realized this hasn't been released yet, I saw the "buy now" button and assumed it was.

Oof, this brings back PTSD for a lot of us that have worked with developers like this ☝️

The question was asking if there were any non e2ee text apps.

A lighter-weight kscreenlocker alternative (kscreenlocker uses a lot of VRAM) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I actually did already mention, in Wayland you need to coordinate screen locking with the compositor (kwin), otherwise I'd be using swaylock.

A lighter-weight kscreenlocker alternative (kscreenlocker uses a lot of VRAM) (lemmy.ca)
 

According to nvtop, on both my nvidia and AMD computers, kscreenlocker_greet uses 200-400MB of VRAM while the screen is locked -- doesn't that feel excessive for a simple screen locker (I do realize that it's QML and thus in theory can use as much VRAM as say plasmashell).

This is kind of annoying as I was trying to set up a chatbot using my main desktop while it's idle, and would like that extra 400MB back for a higher context length.

Wasn't sure if this was a bug or just how software is nowadays so I opted to start a discussion rather than finishing filing a bug at bugs.kde.org.

Anyway, anyone know of an alternative screenlocker for kwin_wayland?

I thought I would disable kscreenlocker completely (by setting the screen to never lock?) and use something like swayidle and swaylock, but it doesn't look like kwin supports the wayland extensions required to use swaylock.

Streaming games using Sunshine (the gamestream implementation) now works a lot better on nVidia/wayland (github.com)
 

Yes, yes, I know, buy AMD, but I already have nVvdia to use CUDA, but this new patch on the nightly branch (on arch, you can use sunshine-git but with my patch here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sunshine-git) finally makes it so that I don't have to "dual boot" into X11 to get game streaming at full performance.

Prior to this, wayland-based streamers had to make a round-trip through CPU ram, and now it stays within GPU ram and thus we can stream 4k on nvidia/Wayland!

Anyone have a good working hibernate set-up in Linux? (lemmy.ca)
 

My set-up is roughly analogous to this: https://community.frame.work/t/guide-fedora-36-hibernation-with-enabled-secure-boot-and-full-disk-encryption-fde-decrypting-over-tpm2/25474

Summary is that I use full-disk encryption (FDE) and use the TPM to decrypt the swap, and use full lockdown mode with a kernel patched to allow hibernation.

Suspend-then-hibernate (in my opinion) is a must-have feature for a laptop that goes in a backpack -- if I close my laptop's lid and put it in my backpack, I expect it to both not overheat, and to have some amount of battery left regardless of when I decide to take it out again.

Anyway, does anyone have it working well, or any other tips?

One thing I've been toying with is using a systemd script to drop the filesystem caches before hibernating to have it resume faster.

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.
