hey u sound a bit angy, is everything allgoods?

JaneTheMotherfucker,

Yes, I’m just the best.

FaceButt9000, in Is anyone using awk?

I use it multiple times a day. I only know basic usage, but it’s super useful as part of an awk/grep/sort/uniq pipeline, basically just extracting a field to work on.

heartsofwar, (edited ) in Xclip is not talking to the system clipboard (Klipper)

KDE plasma runs Wayland; therefore, you need wl-clipboard (wl-copy) not xclip which is for X11

Hammerheart,

Thankyou!

Oddly enough, on Wayland GNOME I can use xclip just fine

TeaEarlGrayHot, in eGPU docks?

I have extensively used an eGPU (Razer Core X) with an Nvidia RTX 3050 for gaming under Wayland. Using X11 gave me nothing but problems, but Wayland allows for full hotplug capabilities (as long as no monitors are ever connected to the GPU).

Of course, performance is fairly bad with the official Nvidia drivers + Wayland, but it’s good enough to play The Outer Worlds and a few other single player games, which is good enough for me! I have been entirely unable to get external monitors to work with the Nvidia driver (any help would be much appreciated), although they did work (coldplug) with the Nouveau driver.

When I was using Windows, I was able to hotplug/unplug the eGPU with monitors attached, effectively turning the GPU into an external docking station–I am closely following driver improvements, as this would be great to have on Linux to get around the 2-monitor limitation of the Intel iGPU.

Hmm, that doesn’t sound great. Can I ask what laptop you were using and which distro?

TeaEarlGrayHot,

I’m using the Surface Laptop Studio with EndeavourOS (basically arch, so I have all the latest packages)–the performance issues stem from Nvidia’s drivers, so AMD should not suffer from the same problems, although I don’t have any AMD cards to test if hotplug with monitors is functional

Dio9sys, in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

It’s super impressive to see Wayland having its big breakthrough moment. I remember reading about Wayland 10 years ago and worrying it was going to end up as a dead project.

SuperiorOne, in Writing program

I recommend Obsidian with community plugins. Application itself isn’t open-source but your content stored as markdown files.

toastal,

Obsidian’s fork of Markdown. Don’t expect compatibility.

Euphoma,

There are extensions for obsidian compatability in Vim and Emacs.

toastal, (edited )

It’s not compatible with other Markdown forks, but the whole Markdown ecosystem is a mess duct taped together by more forks & extensions that aren’t compatible either. Even the common denominator CommonMark is feature-barren & isn’t suitable for documentation or technical writing, but boy howdy will the next guy have his Markdown contraption to sell you.

Until my distro forces wayland on me I’ll stick with xorg+XFCE. I’ve played with sway and hyprland but I need my application choices to actually work well. (no I’m not going to list them).

As for the cube desktop in the image: We had this with compiz and learnt then that this is pointless.

Why are we back there?

XFCE is working on Wayland support ◉⌣⁠◉

@t0m5k1@lemmy.world avatar

I~~t’s not fully supported, parts of it do and the rest still uses xwayland where possible. wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap~~

most of the apps I use are shite with xwayland.

Sorry, my bad, too many crimbo drinks.

Work on your reading comprehension skills ◉⁠‿⁠◉

There’s a big difference between Working on vs is working. They’re Working on a full port, other than that you have preliminary access that’s not intended for casual users; only developers, tinkers/enthusiast & testers.

This design document is intended for Xfce developers to begin brainstorming ideas for future development. This is a work in progress and does not imply any future implementation commitments.

Should’ve been your first hint.

t0m5k1,
@t0m5k1@lemmy.world avatar

Lol too many already

ikidd,
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

No blame on the XFCE devs because they’re trying to get a lot done with few people, but XFCE just managed to transition to GTK3, I wouldn’t hold my breath for comprehensive Wayland support any time soon.

Rustmilian, (edited )
@Rustmilian@lemmy.world avatar

They’ve made great strides towards Wayland support, considering that the vast majority of the work is being done by 1 guy.
It’s not just a lack of devs that’s contributing to slow development time either, it’s also the fact their goal is to port every single component to native Wayland without relying on Xwayland at all; which is obviously going to take way longer than just porting the essentials and saying “fuck it, use Xwayland”.

Polyester6435,

Someone just made it because its funny?

ProdigalFrog, in Nobara 39 Officially Released

Interesting to read those linked GNOME issue threads, they’re really living up to their reputation… Looks like KDE is becoming the premier gaming DE, and I’m pretty happy with that.

isVeryLoud,

I’m a GNOME developer, and KDE is unfortunately the gaming and colour accurate work desktop at the moment.

Kinda wish the GNOME committee would pull its head out of its ass.

UnfortunateShort, in Which distro in your opinion is the best for virtualization (Windows 10 on either KVM or VMware), stability, and speed?

It doesn’t really matter that much imo. Virtualization is done by kvm or xen, both distro independent. Qemu, libvirt and anything else you might need will only differ version, which may or may not matter to you (probably not). Maybe you can gain some performance by building from source, whereas something like Gentoo might come out ahead… Then again, you can build from source on any distro so…

Aradia, in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

More than “with Linux” you should indicate how much do you expect to spend here, it’s not about the OS, it’s about what kind of headsets you want (what features).

blakeus12,
@blakeus12@hexbear.net avatar

sorry! i will edit the post to include the following: i don’t really care about the quality too much, i want to spend ~80 usd or so, but that’s flexible within 10 dollars or so. i would prefer a headset that has a USB dongle, like a wireless mouse. i don’t really need a microphone in it, but i wouldn’t really conplain if there was one.

Aradia, (edited )
@Aradia@lemmy.ml avatar

Well, then I can’t help, I normally always get those that cost more than 200 USD, they have it all (Bluetooth + dongle) and with high quality (+ noise-canceling). Mines are WH-1000XM4 if you are interested, and I’m very happy with them, in the past I had Bose QuietComfort 35 and Sennheiser Momentum M2-AEBT and I would still get Sony WH-1000XM4 as it is smarter with many features and quality.

Stillhart,

You might check out the 1More wireless headphones. They’re my go-to recommendation for someone who wants something that’s not garbage but doesn’t want to pay full audiophile prices. I haven’t heard this particular headphone from them, but they’re known to have good sound quality for the price, generally by sacrificing some build quality. However, this beats out a lot of the comparably priced competition that sacrifices both.

Yerbouti, in Can anyone share their experience with Asahi as a Daily Driver?

I’ve installed Asahi Fedora remix on my 2021 M1 last week. Most things works fine now: speakers, HDMi (no video output with usbc yet), wifi, bluetooth, etc. It comes with KDE, it’s great but requires a lot of tweaks compare to Gnome imo. Overall it’s really stable, install was easy, and switching from MacOs to Linux is a little long but works fine. For me, the only issue so far is that it cant fully use the power of the GPU. I got a 32 core GPU so video editing is crazy fast on macOS. I know they are working on updating the driver. If I could get like 80% of the power I get on macOs, I probably would be using Linux 95% of the time.
