I wonder if any of this will improve Wayland/mutter, I love GNOME’s UI… but I had to move to KDE for a better gaming experience.

AProfessional,

I don’t think that’s the focus. I know you won’t like this, but the Shell is already in a good place.

HDR is in progress. VRR does have patches In progress.

Sentau,

VRR does have patches In progress.

This has been the case for years at this point

AProfessional,

The gap between ā€œnothing has been done for this taskā€ and ā€œmultiple developers have written, reviewed, and discussed patches for thisā€ is immense and positive.

Sentau, (edited )

These discussions took place several years ago if I remember correctly. The problem seems to be that cursor seems to want to refresh at a different rate than the content in screen and the people at gnome want the cursor to not feel choppy by being refreshed at the vrr determined refresh rate

AProfessional, (edited )

The MR has multiple commits about 4 months old. It’s a bummer it’s moving slow but I believe it will land someday. I hope at least.

Audacity9961,

There appears to be at least an aspirational goal for GNOME 46 to land experimental support.

Sentau,

I am also sure that it will land as well. As a gnome user I hope it lands sooner than later. I am just frustrated because the pursuit of perfection is keeping us from having a better experience now. It’s the calculator on iPad situation. Just because the perfect solution has not been found yet does not mean there should be no implemented solution at all.

warmaster,

If I use GNOME I get the most beautiful desktop UI, if I use Plasma I get a better gaming experience. I wish I could have both.

Oh, good. Gnome gets more money.

twei,

are you trying to say that this is a bad thing?

TheGrandNagus,

This but unironically. It’s a very good thing.

Unless its sarcasm, GNOME is well deserving as the most polished and optimally performant DE. GNOME is so good, Windows 11 copied its workflow, layouts and even the taskbar right-click menu with 23H2.

Patch,

I mean… yeah?

A major GPL software stack used by major Linux distributions getting more money to invest in accessibility tooling seems like a ā€œgood thingā€.

redcalcium, (edited ) in X11 forwarding (X server) for Android

This might work:

  • install an x server app in your phone (e.g. XSDL) and start it
  • install Termux from f-droid (the one in play store hasn’t been updated due to changes in play store policy that prevents Termux package manager from working)
  • in Termux, run something like DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0 ssh -Y user@hostname
Ghostbusterinthemach, in How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

I’m not at a computer to verify, but dpkg -I package.deb will list dependencies of a deb file, so apt-get download $(dpkg -I rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb) might work.

apt-get download $(dpkg -I rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb)

Thanks a lot! While it wasn’t as simple as that, it did indeed point me onto the right direction. This command did the trick for me:

apt download $(dpkg -I rescuezilla_2.4.2-1_all.deb | grep -oP ā€˜(?<=Depends: ).*’ | tr -d ā€˜,’)

The grep goes there to list only what comes after ā€œDepends:ā€. The -oP enables the python command to remove the string matching itself, so it leaves the whole list after the match… otherwise it also tries to download a package named ā€œDepends:ā€. And the tr -d ā€˜,’ is to remove the commas separating each package, otherwise it fails to find them.

Powerline!

Guenther_Amanita, (edited ) in How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Install Distrobox first and work inside that container.

Messing with dependencies of a program not in your package manager can result in bricking your OS (which will take some time to fix and that will be annoying).
In DB, all dependencies will be self contained and your host OS will stay clean. You can imagine it similar to how Flatpaks work.

Then, follow the other’s procedures.

iturnedintoanewt,
@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Thanks! How does this work with OS permissions? As it’s rescuezilla and veracrypt I’m trying to use, both need access to the system partitions in order to be able to mount/read/copy to them. Flatpak can be a bit limited regarding permissions…Moreso on a live iso I guess.

Guenther_Amanita, (edited )

DB only gives you the dependencies, but is otherwise not sheltered. It still has access to all host OS files, including hard drives and other stuff.

Sadly, I’m not super experienced with it, and I use it on an immutable distro, where can’t change that much, at least nothing on the root level.

You would have to read the documentation or google it yourself sadly, I’m out of luck here for you.

I still hope my suggestion was successful :)

spauldo, in So sixel...

Install xterm. Bam, you’ve got sixel support.

But why deprecate SysV style init scripts? This is super helpfull on things like the raspberry pi (imo)

Cossty, in GNOME Recognized as Public Interest Infrastructure

Will we finally get properly working system tray? Man can dream…

TheGrandNagus,

They’ve been trying to make a cross-desktop standard for a little while now, but progress is certainly slow :/

Knusper, (edited ) in Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

I can recommend Starship.

NoisyFlake,

Definitely! Much more user-friendly and expandable than configuring PS1 manually.

This is what mine looks like.

KarnaSubarna, in NVIDIA Linux Driver Adds Wayland Bug Fixes and Improvements
@KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml avatar

I found CS:GO 2 stopped working after upgrade to driver v545 from v535. Anyone else noticed the same?

redcalcium,

My desktop would crash back to login screen after playing mass effect legendary edition. After exiting the game, if the desktop idle for a while, the moment the automatic screen off kick in, the CPU fan would whirl and if I wiggle the mouse, the desktop would immediately crash back to the login screen. Not sure whose fault it is, nvidia 545, EA, wayland or gnome.

Aachen,

Known bug, NVIDIA says they are working on patching it by the next minor release:

toastal, in System76’s Lemur Pro Laptop Is Just a Really Nice Linux Laptop

1920Ɨ1080 FH

Not 2k. Not 16:9. Probably doesn’t even cover DCI-P3 or decent color accuracy. Folks are gonna keep thinking Linux is a geeks-only thing if you have terrible panel that’s bad for content creation.

lud,

1920Ɨ1080 FH

Not 2k. Not 16:9.

How isn’t that 19:9?

And QHD isn’t really necessary on a laptop imo.

I still won’t buy it though.

toastal,

I have had 1080, 4k, & 2k laptops in my life. 1080 text is blurry. 4k is obviously overkill wasting battery on pixels you can’t see. 2k has crisp text without so much wasted density & you have to get unreasonably close to the panel to tell the difference.

pit,

1080p is 2k. From Wikipedia: ā€œ2K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having a horizontal resolution of approximately 2,000 pixels.[1] In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives is the dominant standard for 2K output and defines a 2K format with a resolution of 2048 Ɨ 1080.[2][3] For television and consumer media, 1920 Ɨ 1080 is the most common 2K resolution, but this is normally referred to as 1080p.ā€ (emphasis mine)

toastal,

You are correct.

I meant ā€œ2.8K (2880 Ɨ 1800)ā€ or thereabouts but misremembered the naming.
