Wow, that looks stunning! I am no where near skilled enough to be able to even begin wrapping my head around making a compositor, even with a library - but I do know that like the other commenter mentioned we certainly need more libraries aside from the two that we currently have (but I understand why that’s a very tall order) so major props to you!
Thanks, maybe you could follow the tutorial if you are interested. And I wouldn’t mind answering doubts; that actually would help me improve the docs ;)
In system settings under 'keyboard" there should be an “advanced” tab or something similar with a lot of these kind of settings, don’t remember if this specifically is present or not. In case yours is not there you can change the mapping of the keys in a root configuration file that I don’t remember, if you need tell me and it I’ll go looking for it
I would look for a dongle that specifically markets itself as being Raspberry Pi compatible. Most stuff you find will prioritize Windows, but if it’s marketed to work with the Pi you know it’ll have at least some level of Linux compatibility. Once you find one, try to figure out what chipset it uses, then search if it’s supported by a handful of the distros you wanna try.
We used to run firewalls running Fedora at work, works fine. Issue is you’re only getting 6 months of updates, best to look at Rocky Linux for something that doesn’t change much if you do anything beyond a single program.
anedotally: it works fine if it’s from a vendor who provides support for it. eg cumulus switches running fedora 9 but still getting updates from cumulus engineers.
Instead of guessing, looking at the log might help. Launch the game with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% set in “Set Launch Options” setting in the game properties. The log file will appear on your home directory.
Magica is claiming an issue with VCRedist, Orcs Must Die 2 doesn’t close on its own so no log, Serious sams and painkiller don’t show any problems. The rest isn’t using proton.
It’s a long shot, but sometimes when I have issues with proton which I can’t figure out, switching from Wayland to X11 (or vice versa) magically fixed it.
Geary has so many bugs and going to Gitlab to report the bug, you’ll find matching issues for the same bug dating back multiple years.
Geary also doesn’t offer a option for user to pull/refresh emails. Getting a 2FA code via email and waiting minutes to get the email to show up on Geary was painful.
The only thing I liked about Geary was it’s notifications integration in Gnome
It used to be a buggy mess, but it has become pretty stable in recent years. I’m using it daily and can’t remember the last time I encountered a severe bug.
Evolution work fine with a business google account. I couldn’t use gnome online accounts as that’s blocked by policy, but regular imap worked just fine.
I have this same issue, but not for a TV. Just a normal Asus monitor. If I use my laptop built-in panel and the gaming monitor, it happens less. If I enable a third monitor, it happens nearly every time I try to log back in.
Sleep/standby is disabled on mine cuz no distro I’ve found can work properly with it so it’s just turning the monitors back on really.
It also happens exiting a game sometimes.
I’ve found waiting it out doesn’t work, I have to fight through it to open display settings and disable one of the external monitors, then hit revert. Then it’s back to normal.
Edit adding some info since our hardware is different: Lenovo legion slim Nvidia 4050 ryzen 5 Kubuntu 23.10
I find all the ones like espeak, piper, festival to be awful. The voices are OK-ish, but intonation and pronunciation are so very bad. Tortoise is OK, but slow and not for long texts. Paid services like Google, AWS or Elevenlabs are miles ahead. There is a number of CUDA-based engines (provided in the comments of the post I linked) that you supposedly can use if you have a nVidia GPU available. I don’t, so they are not for me.
I got an off-lease dell latitude 7400. Tbh, got it for free, but you can snag one on eBay for under $400. i5, 16 Gb ram, got a 1TB drive for $50 on Amazon. Runs Linux very well! I’d go with a light weight is like EndeavourOS or Arch.
I try my best to look for open source alternatives. If a company does not support Linux, they don’t deserve my support as someone who has only used linux for almost 5 years now. Luckily I am not dragged all the way up into many of these ecosystems which don’t work on Linux
