They say sex is good and all, but I bet they never received a reply like this before. I’m going to respond one by one.
I mostly used AMD Software for instant replay, I miss this loads. Tried replay-sorcery like 3 times, failed all 3 times. I gained more knowledge since, fixed discord’s screenshare, so I might give it another shot, but I also heard that you can get instant replay with OBS somehow.
I’d like some alternative to fancontrol, I know I could set fanspeed in the bios, idk why I don’t. But I had a nice lil software that managed fans, now I don’t.
Piper also doesn’t support my mouse. It does however support the one I just switched from a month ago…
Idk what Realtek does, but I never had any sound related problems on windows. AKA it just worked, I’d like it back pls. I now use pipewire-pulse. Made Virtual Surround sink, loving the customization, hating the documentation. I’d still like to fix the bandwidth (I read somewhere that it’s limited by default) and mess around with EQs, my lead is AutoEq.
OBS just doesn’t work. But I remember it barely working on windows as well. It’s popular, I can probably fix it.
I already have qpwgraph, but I don’t have a use for it, I just used it to visualize, and fix connections when they’re wrong. Might do some soundboard fun later with it, or in-game mic trolling :p
Thanks for the links tho, I’ll look into what I can utilize. But don’t get me wrong I love linux, there is just so little support, paired with such a steep learning curve.
rant: I’m not using linux for long, and I have a bunch of stuff to get working. Password manager, find nice image and PDF viewers (web browsers feels cheap), fix recording (obs can’t capture and barely can anything else), get (or make) a nice theme, try out tiling window managers, set-up WMs so I don’t have to dual boot anymore. While don’t even get me started on stuff I have no Idea how works on linux. Like grep’s powerful, how does regex work, links?, everything in /etc, bash script. hopefully I can get these answered in 2024. I hear the memes that this is the “year of linux desktop”; well it’s certainly for me.
Do it. I switched a couple of months ago. I hated it at first, then cought on to what’s different. Long story short; I never want to go back to windows.
I’m thanking yall for this. And also idk what so different in linux, but I just want apps on here. Like I can find an alternative, but I have to say it, most of the time it’s just worse. Like how do you replace AMD Software or Logitech Ghub or Realtek audio (or whatever is the deafult for win, it’s so seamless).
To add to this, I can install a standalone app for every feature that AMD Software has, but I don’t want to. And Ghub got de-drm-ed for like two mice, but I own a different one. Video recording and Audio settings are basically non-existen. Good luck changing the quality of your audio.
To add even more, I’m more and more used to these alternatives, so idk if I’ll still cry about it in a few years. Re-learning computers is such a pain. I hope I’ll be able to give linux to my kids as a norm (basically to use without terminal mastery).
I give them an empty online card, and install some random bloatware so it uses cpu and ram. Now I have a server for free forever? How do they profit from this, it’s hard to believe that it’s truly free?
using more salt, or leaving out ingredients that one’s allergic to isn’t as hard as learning c++, understanding the codebase, knowing the external packages used, knowing your specific problem, knowing where to fix it, knowing how to fix it.
Oh wow, I feel for you. I bet when u did solve it it felt wonderful. That’s the high I’m chasing with software at least.
also side note, as I feel like this thread is over: DANG I love this platform. I’m not even alive for 20 years and your not the first guy on here who gives me free advice from 20+ years of experience. This shit is pure gold for someone who wants to learn. And it’s not even like I’m here to use people, I stayed because how kind and helpful everyone is.
Anyone who reads this in the future, you’re the good side of the internet. I’m showing some threads to my friends from time to time and if it’s more then 3 sentences they’re like “ah, wall of text, I ain readin allat”.
yeah, you’re right. The magic for me is when you dealt so much with this that you just know common errors (like reading java errors). And the bad part is when the google it part doesn’t work.
like recently I figured out that my mouse sends different packets wired and wireless. long story short wireless works bad. And I only found one source, that led to another([1], [2], [3]) but got to lazy caz I just plug my mouse in and the problem is gone, lol
I managed to get it working, I just can’t control where the sound actually is coming from. I have to set my default sink to the new surround, so it just picks one random device that’s connected it’d seem. How can I tell it where to play my audio back?
