narc0tic_bird, to linux in Niri Debuts As A Scrollable -Tiling Wayland Compositor Inspired By PaperWM

I installed GNOME and KDE side-by-side once on Fedora, and that messed a whole bunch of things up like configuration files, icons etc. YMMV

So did you actually turn off secure boot in your UEFI setup? Or did you just state that it’s off to archinstall?

Use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN.

“Working well” is relative. You can make Nvidia work, but there are some caveats. Currently, there’s driver 535 and 545, and both have different quirks. Neither works particularly well with Wayland, certain applications can flicker when they need longer to draw than the display’s refresh rate.

So, when I tried with the 3080, I eventually gave up and used X11. X11 has a technical limitation though, and it prevents VRR to work with multiple displays. That’s because X11 combines all displays to a single virtual “screen”, so a full screen application on one display can’t set the refresh rate of that display independently. This isn’t a problem with single monitor setups though.

As I tested Baldur’s Gate 3, I found that choosing Vulkan in the launcher resulted in about half the performance compared to Windows, and DirectX 11 (which ironically gets translated to Vulkan by DXVK) had graphical glitches like black boxes instead of houses etc.

Knowing all that and if you’re willing to experiment with driver versions, it’s not that horrible, it’s just not as straightforward as AMD Radeon on Linux (or Nvidia on Windows for that matter).

narc0tic_bird, to selfhosted in File size preference for Radarr?

Serviceable, but still not great quality most of the time.

narc0tic_bird, to piracy in **this seems to be the theme of the season mateys**

No way I’ll use YouTube with ads. The amount of your lifetime they waste is what I’d consider disrespectful to their users. Even if the ads were bearable, I wouldn’t turn off my ad blocker on any Google site for tracking alone.

I also don’t see myself subscribing to YouTube Premium, firstly because it’s too expensive (stop including your music streaming service and make it cheaper maybe?), but also because YouTube is just a platform with a lot of not curated content that YouTube had no part in creating.

Let’s see how the cat and mouse games between YouTube and ad blockers and alternative frontends go. If it’s too much of a hassle, I’ll just stop using YouTube. I don’t miss Twitter, I don’t miss Reddit, and I won’t miss YouTube.

I was under the impression it’s called 8K UHD, not FUHD.

Any news on proper (baked-in) VRR support with Wayland?

I love this light gray theme not gonna lie.

Thanks buddy

Yeah I agree, my point was just that Bottles isn’t especially made for piracy, it can play “legit” copies of games just as well.

I’m not condemning them for pirating games, sail the high seas all you want!

narc0tic_bird, to piracy in Me vs my ISP

Here in Germany I get a “real” (non-shared) IPv4 address and a /48 IPv6 subnet I think. With Telekom at least. Vodafone is another story. I think the user must be able to use their own router because of some EU law.

narc0tic_bird, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

Good point, didn’t even realize this was from 2012.

narc0tic_bird, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?

Not sure, but maybe you can snapshot these subvolumes independently?

The newest iPod nano does have Bluetooth. Not sure if 16 GB counts as “less space than a nomad” though.
