yeah it works flawlessly on Wayland, that wasn’t what I was saying. I’m saying on x11 it doesn’t work for gaming because of the setup. Say I want to use I3 or Herbstfluftwm. If I open a game and ONLY stay on that game it’s fine. but if I navigate away from it to look at a web browser or check discord and then toggle back to the game it results in a black screen or simply shows the desktop and the game is unresponsive. And from what I was able to find online the consensus seems to be it’s because x11 doesn’t play well with integrated and discrete dual GPUs.

movies@piefed.social•Box Office Badass: ‘Predator Badlands’ Kicks Off November With Record $40M U.S. Opening, $80M GloballyEnglish
41·21 hours agome!
I was skeptical about it but I saw it anyways. I was wrong, It was really good, I enjoyed it.
I’ve always been a fan of the Alien vs Predator Darkhorse Comics and videogames from the 90s. I loved the world building, how it all took place in the Alien future timeline, the lore was great. The human interactions with the Predators was awesome. Badlands reminded me of that and god damn do they kinda set it up for another swing at Alien vs Predator that would be set in a similar timeline to the old comics and games.
That’s what this movie, for me at least, was. It felt like a love letter to the very small fanbase of Predator fans from the 90s. The Badlands story has been told before on the pages of Darkhorse comics so for me it made complete sense. And it utilized a very important aspect from the Alien franchise without incorporating Xenomorphs. But man does it set up the potential for another AvP that DOESN’T have to take place on Earth and DOESN’T have to involve humans which I really hope they do.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian's APT Will Soon Begin Requiring Rust: Debian Ports Need To Adapt Or Be SunsetEnglish
4·2 days agothe ONLY thing I can think of is sometimes, at least for me, on wayland it will switch the naming on my second monitor between either DP-1 or HDMI-A-1 randomly for whatever reason. bit of a very minor pain if I’m using a WM where I have to go in and edit the config to switch it but on KDE it’s not an issue. that’s literally the only thing I can think of.

just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!
ugh I know. In hindsight I would have never bought it.
ugh I wish I could but my Laptop set up says “no, you can’t.” discrete Nividia GPU with onboard AMD GPU and gaming on x11 is a no go for me. So my only choice is wayland :/

3·3 days agoright so you just keep your music folder open so people can do just that. More audiophiles are going to be on soulseek than some random torrent tracker.
I don’t understand why you insist on torrenting when you can’t safely do so. You’re going to get way more traction sharing your rare stuff on soulseek than you will torrenting it I can guarantee that.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Facing problems using Bazzite for software developmentEnglish
632·3 days agoI…I don’t understand. Why would you use Bazzite for software development and not gaming when user is not a gamer but just likes KDE?
you can literally put KDE on anything. Bazzite isn’t friendly to installing anything that isn’t a flatpak or whatever.
Just use a different distro. you don’t need Bazzite. Switch them to like Fedora KDE or something.
And to people in this thread trying to push a camel through a pin hole…why? you’re talking about setting up VMs and Distroboxs or just using flatpaks on Bazzite when the most painless solution is to just switch distros.
You picked the wrong distro, just switch them to something more appropriate for what they want to do.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bonfire Social 1.0 is here, back the community‑funded roadmapEnglish
23·4 days agoI don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.
So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Vimium (full keyboard controls for Firefox)English
4·4 days agoIf i’m using firefox I prefer trydactil over vimium.
Trydactil is more inline with Qutebrowser. and honestly it actually does quickmarks better than qutebrowser. what I like about Trydactil is you can have quickmark binds set up to access sites. Works awesome if you also install the i3 firefox theme.
Only issue is Mozilla is an absolute paranoid android about certain things like using these extensions when opening new tabs or using them to navigate ANYTHING that Mozilla directly controls. then you have to get ANOTHER extension just to make tabs work the way you want. it’s annoying. So I just use Qutebrowser instead.

2·4 days agopre-written canned responses to emails essentially. you type out a default/standard response for something which you can then quickly copy and paste via a keybind.
So it only really applies in a business environment if you’re getting emailed the same stuff daily. it’s a very niche tool that you pay for.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Vimium (full keyboard controls for Firefox)English
2·4 days agoDOOM Emacs + Everywhere. I use this.
Doom Emacs is essentially a vim version of Emacs. same nav and everything. With the Everywhere plugin you can quite literally use emacs and thus vim to type…well…everywhere. For example I’m typing this reply right now using Emacs and thus vim navigation. I can use it to write emails in other programs or have it included in my TUI email client. use it for writing comments on websites, pretty much where ever there’s a text field I can keybind it to use Doom Emacs. It’s pretty neat.

16·4 days agoI mean you can avoid all that. If you’re just interested in music and retro games then just use soulseek and use the rom megathread. both of which are going to be either peer to peer or direct downloads. no torrenting.
Rom megathread (web search it) has quite literally everything. no need to search, no need to torrent, it’s all right there. And soulseek with Nicotine+ just works like napster. sign up, be sure to share your music library, and then have at it.



it really is fantastic out of the box. When I switched to NixOS I had decided to stay on zsh/ohmyzsh and it was an absolute slog. it was so slow and didn’t mesh well with the zsh plugins. Someone suggested I try Fish instead as it pretty much could do what Zsh does with plugins but right out of the box. Fish was much faster and indeed could do everything that I had configured zsh to do but I didn’t have to configure Fish at all. It’s great, I’ll never use another shell.
