Secret300, in PipeWire Camera Support is Coming to OBS Studio for Linux Desktops

What’s the advantage of this?

It’ll allow for streaming from a camera directly into OBS. Unless I’m truly horrible with OBS, I currently can only get my screen and audio on a recording. I haven’t found an option to also have my camera feed be recorded along with audio, even with my camera as the mic. Meaning there’s no option to have your face in the bottom corner of a screen recording. So this will allow that to be possible.

Secret300,

Ah okay thanks for the explanation

I can see this being useful for NixOS. It’s still a glimmer in the postman’s eye, and we’re WAITING for systemd src to come with certain options to make the attaching and reattaching of systemd easier.

But I could easily see nixpkgs implement functions that allow nixos-rebuild switch to use either live patching method, or even implementing one specifically for NixOS.

This would be twice as neat, because switch is already magical in how it shifts from one system to another. If you could then also live patch the kernel? It just adds another super power.

BlanK0,

That actually would be really cool ngl

Lettuceeatlettuce, (edited ) in Gnome and plasma merge, and thoughts on the limit of open source
@Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml avatar

Several good answers here. Both Gnome and Plasma are customizable enough you should be able to have a Gnome-y Plasma or a Plasma-y Gnome.

Echoing what has been said already: They both are built on totally different tech stacks with very different philosophies. Gnome is more simplified, a little more “MacOS-like” Plasma is more Windows-like (by default) and is designed to be deeply customized and modular.

You should play around with Gnome and Plasma plugins and themes, that might help make things better for your usage. Or check out other DEs like Cinnamon or Cosmic.

Kinda, but some hardware need drivers. So it sorta depends.

Do what I do. “Oh shoot, Jellyfin stopped, now I have to remember how to tell Arch to clear out its cached packages” (it’s pacman -sc if you’re me and you’re reading this in the future)

This is me… In general with Linux. So I have a whole section of my Obsidian vault dedicated to troubleshooting and setup steps for my server projects. It’s saved me hours of research already. Stupid brain…

Lmao gnome and kde can never merge. They have entirely different design philosophy. If every open source project merged into a single project we wouldn’t have the competitive and diverse app eco system we have today.

Grass, in New in Fedora Asahi Remix - Asahi Linux

This would have been exciting to me if it was like back in the PowerPC dying out days when my old elementary school gave away all their old macs from the computer lab and I acquired about half of them and installed Linux on them.

800XL, in Why I'm done with Nobara Linux: A Breakup Story with a Tech Twist

The link from Lemmy takes you to an email sign-up page instead of actual content that requires you click “No Thanks” first before you can continue. I should have stopped there but I didn’t. To bypass the sign up page copy the link and remove the “r” variable from the query string first.

The only thing I saw referencing Nobaru linux was a link near the top of the page to who knows where. The rest of the page is filled with words haphazardly forced together against their will, and it shows.

mortalic,

Lol, just click no.

800XL,

Have you learned nothing from paywalled articles and blogs from 2002? You get them interested in what you have to say. Make them laugh. Compliment them. Put in a little work first.

By then you’ll both be so into it that nicely asking for what you want to do is a mere (but neccessary) formality (consent is always required – Ed.).

Then after a few paragraphs you whip out the unskippable popup and stop the fun until they show you the goods, and they’ll give up that fake email address you want so bad willingly.

You don’t go right for it right out of the gate and shoot your wad immediately. It’s a good way to make sure no wants to check you out again. It’s just bad form. People talk.

mortalic,

Furiously taking notes… Not really though, while substack has some annoying behavior, setting a paywall is up the the writer. I turned it off.

RotatingParts, in How to use the Linux kernel's live patching feature

If you are using Ubuntu, they have live patch available. You have to sign up for Ubuntu Pro, but that is free for individuals. I just heard about this and haven’t tried it yet ubuntu.com/security/livepatch

Let me save you from reading this.

Why I left nobara: because I did… Then scattered rambling that goes nowhere and certainly doesn’t end with a twist.

A real tech twist is when spin mode on the smart fleshlight malfunctions

t_378, in Is it possible to change mouse to left/right handed mode via CLI on wayland?

I think you want to use hwdb and evdev to do this: reddit.com/…/updated_guide_to_remapping_keys_on_l…

tkk13909, in Why I'm done with Nobara Linux: A Breakup Story with a Tech Twist

AI generated image is definitely a red flag

mortalic,

I’ve got some bad news for you.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

What’s the bad news?

Those were the best parts of the article.

Sims,

Max_P, in Is it possible to change mouse to left/right handed mode via CLI on wayland?
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

For KDE specifically I think there’s a dbus interface that can be called to switch it. You can find it with QDBusViewer or D-Feet.

I’d imagine XWayland would follow the same since it’s essentially a Wayland client. But if you ran the xmodmap under xwayland, that may have inverted it in xwayland, and it’s already inverted in KWin which would double invert it aka put it back to default.

Otherwise doing it at the evdev level will definitely work. It’s a bit of a nuclear option but if it works…

im honestly wondering why there are ai images in this article? they don’t contribute anything id prefer screenshots instead to actually see relevant stuff - like with the line about garuda’s ui. otherwise a pretty ok article

mortalic,

Honestly, it’s an engagement experiment.

fin,

How do you know that? Is this your article?

The community is fed up with hearing about distro hopping as it does nothing and goes nowhere other than to yet another distro.
