GNOME Sees Progress On Variable Refresh Rate Setting, Adding Battery Charge Control (www.phoronix.com)

As pointed out in This Week in GNOME, there’s been some continued work on Variable Rate Refresh for the GNOME desktop. The VRR setting within GNOME Settings continues to be iterated on as the developers iron out how they’d like to present the Variable Rate Refresh setting for users. The developers have been discussing how to...

warmaster,

This. As soon as GNOME gets VRR & HDR, I think I’m going back. Also, I’ve read Steam has great integration with KDE, does anyone know how exactly?

warmaster,

According to GloriousEggroll it goes way beyond that. I just don’t know what it does.

warmaster,

I run GameScope for CS2. The rest of the desktop runs Wayland.

warmaster,

Yup. Gamescope doesn’t work without Wayland.

Containerization is not mandatory, some flatpaks are not air-gapped at all which is a real bummer. I wish they all were.

Arch based distros are easy AF. I’ve been on Linux for 2 years, I’ve tried 10+ distros, and Arch has been the easiest for me, and stable as it gets, while allowing me to get the latest drivers needed for gaming.

I’ve been using Crystal Linux, but got tired of it’s CLI only package helper, and since then I’ve moved to Manjaro KDE.

Whatever you chose, make sure you get automatic BTRFS snapshots, so you can roll back at boot whenever you wreck it.

I’ve read here on Lemmy that NixOS is a great concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, stating that it’s overly complicated and documentation is lacking.

If you only care about stability then you should go with Debian. If instead you want something that limits you so that you can’t easily wreck it, you could use an immutable distro like Vanilla OS, Fedora Silverblue, BlendOS or Ubuntu Core Desktop.

I wish GNOME was better than KDE for gaming. GNOME is so freaking sexy, I miss it so much.

Edit: apparently I need to clarify, KWIN (KDE’s compositor, has way better support for Wayland than Mutter (GNOME’s compositor).

warmaster,

Ever tried Affine.pro ?

warmaster,

They are already doing it. Their forked gnome software takes deb packages too.

warmaster,

Nausicaa of the trench of Mariana

warmaster,

Considerably better? I would say it has the best UX/UI of it’s category.

warmaster,

Check their project page or hit them up on their repo. I’m sure any help will be welcomed.

warmaster,

I game a lot, so I need the latest drivers. So anything with a slower release schedule than Manjaro is a no go for me.

warmaster,

Manjaro is as easy as ubuntu, even easier if you want proper gaming.

warmaster,

If you care about the latest drivers and software, Ubuntu might be a bit lagging behind rolling distros like Arch or OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

Debian distros are good for stability.

Rolling distros for the latest bleeding edge software.

warmaster,

Indeed, since it’s a laptop. It uses the iGPU for battery saving graphics and the Nvidia dGPU for performance. That’s hybrid graphics / optimus.

That said, Nvidia is a pain. I always recommend distrohopping until you land on a distro that mostly works for your use case and go from there.

warmaster,

One of us, one of us, one of us

warmaster,

devs have to eat too, open source software (when fully free) is sometimes built as a hobby like Jellyfin, or as a portfolio project, or worst case scenario as a bait and switch to paid (sometimes it’s death sentence). Then there are sponsored projects like Vulkan, or others that live off of donations like Mozilla.

warmaster,

Could it be related to XWayland?

warmaster,

Try StirlingPDF

warmaster,

From the link:

Plex is a hybrid streaming service/self-hosted media server.

There’s the main problem. You’re partially in control. I encourage everyone to switch to Jellyfin, even if you don’t have anything to hide.

warmaster,

What’s wrong with gear lever?

warmaster,

RE: Initial wayland support… Valve still has to merge this into proton, right?

warmaster,

Krita has been adding photo manipulation tools faster than GIMP is fixing their UX/UI, so at this point I think Krita will be the first to become the most viable FOSS alternative to Photoshop.

warmaster,

Filesharing drove me insane.

I ended up ripping the HDDs and putting them on my server, then proceeded to share the drives as normal. My docker containers now use them perfectly fine. IDK wtf Synology is doing but it’s cumbersome AF.
