Just switched last night!!!

So far it’s been great, but I need a way to migrate over my keybindings from xmodmap. I tried searching but everywhere I go gives a different answer. Can anyone help guide me in a direction? I’m primarily looking to remap caps to escape/control on hold. Would be great to remap some unused keys on my laptops keyboard to media keys as well. Thanks!!

glasgitarrewelt,

Have you tried the instructions on their github page?

https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki#keyboard-layout

I haven’t tried that, but would be happy about a feedback from you if it works. So that I know what to do if I switch from Herbstluft to Sway one day.

bananaw,

Ah… Read the docs, should have known ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ntzm,

man 5 sway look for bindsym

bananaw,

Knew I should have read the docs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

In my (not very thorough) read, I saw something about the bindings being per application. Maybe I should stop reading documentation before falling asleep

ad_on_is, in Help. Various games stopped working and i have no idea how to diagnose the issues
@ad_on_is@lemmy.world avatar

Can you pinpoint what you did to your system before? Did you do a system update? Did you move game files around? Did you add any repositories trying to install something that also updated other dependencies, or alike?

dynamo,

At most i updated my system and kernel, didn’t fiddle with anything else

I’m not familiar with mint, but maybe you can see whether you can easily downgrade to the previous version you had. And hold off on the updates until a fix is published for the broken stuff.

But before that, take a look at the mint communities and see whether it’s a known issue and whether there is a manual intervention needed to fix it. Something like “newest update broke some proton games”, etc.

sxan, in AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

I was getting flickering when my monitors were on, last tine I tried Wayland a month or two ago. Probably not the same issue, but these sorts of issues is keeping me on X.

signor, in What is the best distro for gaming?

Just plain ol Fedora. Lots of recommends for Nobara but I doubt the performance increase from the tweaks will make much of a difference with modern hardware. I went down the “gaming distro” path years ago and it’s just not worth it imo. You do you though because whatever distro you’ll still be in go ol’ Linux.

Weird, looks like the image doesn’t show up on lemmy. Shows up fine on /kbin

mvirts, in AMD+Wayland+dual monitor = Screen flickering

If you disable the TV display first, then turn it off, does the flickering happen?

mvirts,

Thinking that the TV is periodically connecting and your desktop environment is trying to switch to dual monitors before quickly losing the TV connection.

I think it’s indeed related to detecting the TV on and off. On the previous PC (this one is just brand new) this didn’t happen.

Try a different HDMI cable to the TV.

muhyb, in Linux Mint - Screenshot annoyance

Don’t know which screenshot program you use but it probably has a timer option. You can capture open menus after setting a timer.

I tried that and it works perfectly.

But it is kind of a crappy work around for a basic function.

There are a lot of options in that price range

pastermil, in cheapest new computer running linux <$500

No need to be new. I’d get a second hand Thinkpad T480.

palordrolap, (edited ) in Linux Mint - Screenshot annoyance

Testing on my own computer, one workaround appears to be to use unmodified PrintScreen, leaving a hand free for the mouse, and quickly right-click for the context menu after the keypress but before the Save pop-up appears.

A PITA to be sure, but it does capture the context menu.

As for cropping down a full-screen capture, I tend to use PhotoFlare for jobs like that (find it in Software Manager) assuming you haven't anything else installed that does the job.

Screen record a video of the process? Then you’ll have a video guide, plus you can take screenshots of the video for a written guide.

UsernameNotFound, in Sell Me on Linux

Get a MacBook and use apple software if you are a lawyer.

Yerbouti, in Sell Me on Linux

You sound more of a Windows 11 type. Linux is free (free as freedom, not free beer), we dont have to sell you anything.
