I also use krunner but unless I’ve misconfigured it, I wouldn’t call it fast (and it freezes a lot since it runs in the background).

Compared to when I used rofi on hyprland (which was really fast). I’m back on KDE cause of the hyprland toxicity debacle, and honesty the only thing that isn’t fast, customizable, and reliable is the app runner.

Krunner also has a weird quirk where as it loads entries, it will change the currently selected option so when you hit Enter, it will actually not execute the one you want, but instead run “Install <random package from fuzzy search>”

Talking out loud I should probably bind alt+space to back to rofi or try Fuzzel or something

I’m no stranger to DIY nor reverse engineering, so I may still buy it as a winter weekend project.

DIY is difficult because I want real buttons, as well as customizable mini displays (like the Optimus keyboard of Olde)

As long as it shows up as a normal HID keyboard, and the upload protocol is reverse engineered, I’ll be happy.

Maybe I’ll get one and use the return policy to find out.

After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

Isn’t this more of a litmus test of whether or not they have lime cordial in stock?

Well you have to state why it wasn’t good. It was incredibly region-dependent, but if you live near one of their endpoints the latency wasn’t noticeable and the quality was great, as it was for me.

In the end I got to play a bunch of games for free, and have an extra controller I still use, so there’s that. They made us whole, at least, after they shut down (I even imported my into the breach save game into Steam with Google takeout after)

Back during the WoW days (the flying mount expansion), every time I would walk home from Uni I’d think: “This would be a lot faster if I turned into a crow and flew over these houses”.

I played a Druid.

By some definition. They have always been usable to some degree because I think animators or something use Linux commercially on Nvidia, and for gpgpu they are still top class on linux (nothing comes close)

They haven’t always been the best for gaming or desktop (Wayland) use though, since Intel and AMD opened up their drivers.

Arguably in my experience Nvidia has been far less buggy for the last 30+ years on x11, and with this change they may have finally reached parity on Wayland, haven’t tried it myself.

Yeah I’ve enjoyed all the Pokemon games in the last decade (I also dropped over 100 hours in Palworld).

If you listen to the internet, however, we’re apparently what’s wrong with Pokemon, because we’re not allowed to enjoy it unless it’s perfect and lives up to to everyone else’s very specific expectations, but the sales figures don’t lie, there are certainly more than dozens of us!

I suppose if you really like tools, Makita counts as an entertainment franchise.

Kitty supports images, not sure about alacritty, although there are many competing protocols for image display in a terminal emulator, so it could be that it just doesn’t support a particular program.

I use sunshine and moonlight. It’s designed for games but works far better because of it, as in if it’s good enough for games, the latency will be far better than other RDP protocols.

It doesn’t do clipboard sharing though.

I’ve recently started replacing most of my shell usage with org mode and babel, along with GitHub copilot and similar LLM backed tools it’s like autocomplete on steroids

Drag a selection box around it, or use ctrl. Or right click.

I think your brain probably wanted to say “home remedy”.

If you’re a tinkerer it’s kind of addicting. I thought I’d give it a try just to see what it was like, and ended up staying up all night customizing it, and now about a month later I don’t really want to go back to KDE (been using KDE for almost 20 years)

Don’t know why, but this title just made me realize that King Arthur and Robin Hood are both brands of flour.

I didn’t measure performance, I was talking about battery life, but no, I didn’t do any benchmarks.

Even Intel has these. I think this patch set goes a bit further and takes into account the silicon lottery differences between cores (according to the patch series)

I’m using the patch set on my framework 7840u and didn’t notice a difference though, though this is really YMMV.

The steam deck won’t pull past 3A anyway (all usb C cables are rated for 3A), so unless you’re using a USB-A to C cable, you should be getting full speed, unless the cable is damaged.

Proxmox is a lot more user friendly than virt-manager (yes I’ve used both, but I just started using proxmox).
