Which makes no sense

If xorg was smooth my issues wouldn't be an issue

[wheat plume]

Nvidia is decent at Wayland now
Not sure how it is on the ancient lts build though

[pale sigil]

open kernal vs metapackage?

[umbral heron]

Meta package uses proprietary from Nvidia
Open uses open for kernel drivers and proprietary for userspace
In the end just use the newest, because Nvidia moved almost completely to open kernel ones nowadays

[pale sigil]

soooooo

there are two versions of 590

[umbral heron]

Functionally there shouldn't be any difference, but some people say that several bugs they had were fixed when they switched to open-kernel one

So 590-open I guess

[pale sigil]

ok im on that

already

Ngl not having sleep etc is a huge killer for me....

its a crazy amount of electric wasted otherwise

[umbral heron]

Oh, also Nvidia says that open ones are recommended for 20-series and newer

[fair gull]

so what does the 780ti fall under

[umbral heron]

780 is 7-series

Or 700?

[fair gull]

780series got it

700 series

cause ofc its different

i think 7 series

is the 7XXX cards

like the 7800gtx

[umbral heron]

So we will go 7 series to 700 series to 70 series

[fair gull]

yes

and its XXXXGTX to GTXYYYY to RTXYYYYY

as we all know

consistency aint key

[umbral heron]

Still better than AMD

[fair gull]

we also still dont know how to officially pronounce Ti

[abstract steeple]

Tea

[fair gull]

could be pronounced like tea, thai or pronounce both letters separately

[pale sigil]

Am I seriously going to undo everything i did today because monitor turn off doesn't work

Unbelievable

[pale sigil]

I give up tonight

I think I'm just going to go back to CachyOS and suck it up

One thing I really wanted was alt tabbing

Nice alt tabbing

Like windows

[umbral heron]

KDE does that
Maybe try Kubuntu 25.10? Ubuntu, KDE, newish stuff, no tinkering with Arch

[pale sigil]

I don't like KDE

My experience has been horrible with it

[umbral heron]

If you want Windows-like experience then it's the closest, even maps most of the same shortcuts when it comes to file explorer or whatever
Plus since 6.0 it crashed on me like 3 times in 2 years

[wheat plume]

Ugh
I may need to re-transfer all the games and reformat the SSD

Seems exfat doesn't work very well for using with steam

Gonna take hours :'(

[umbral heron]

Whatchu trying to do

[pale sigil]

im aware

hence why i wanted it to work so badlyu

every year of my life ive tried linux desktop, i used to use it yearsss ago even

but now i just want shit to work, i like how windows feels and looks, i just hate windows

[wheat plume]

Use my internal 2tb sata SSD over a SATA to USB C adapter as a portable steam library

Earlier, I enabled it as a steam library, transferred my games to it
Then when I restarted steam , it no longer saw the games on that drive anymore...

[pale sigil]

KDE is just horrible, its never just worked

its ugly too and altering it is a lot of hassle

to be clear nvidia

[umbral heron]

Maybe something with Steam manifests then

[wheat plume]

I don't like plasma much either
It's stuttery in games despite good fps

[wheat plume]

Steam transfered those too :'(

It worked until I rebooted steam

[pale sigil]

LINUX LANA

LINUX

[umbral heron]

I dunno, ever since I switched from Plasma 5 to 6 it's like night and day
Works great, looks okay, games are smooth, I dunno

[pale sigil]

THe last few weeks WIndows has fucked me so much, ive never been so motivated to leave it

im angry at both linux and windows

but windows slightly more

[wheat plume]

Become macOS user

[pale sigil]

dont tempt me

ugly as shit

you need to a degree to make it look nice (im grossly exaggerating)

[wheat plume]

I like gnome theme since libAdwaita

[umbral heron]

Did you try to re-add drive as Steam Library folder in Settings? Maybe that would poke it to re-scan it

[wheat plume]

Yes

[umbral heron]

[wheat plume]

I looked it up
Seems it can't be exfat

[pale sigil]

yanno what

im gonna install it on cachyos

[wheat plume]

I'll have to reformat to ext4 and try again

[pale sigil]

as i can eaisly switch between gui

which is nice

i mean you can on any arch but cachyos does a good job at making it easy

ive had issues using the arch installer

[wheat plume]

I'm tempted to try out Hyprland on CachyOS
But idk if I should

It's my first time using CachyOS and I don't want to try two new things at once in case I can't figure out one or the other

What annoys me is realvnc seems to not work on wayland

[umbral heron]

I'm not touching hyprland, I don't want to be stuck eternally in config files

[wheat plume]

Yeh....
I used to use i3 and that part sucked about it

[pale sigil]

i used hyperland years ago

it had 0 ways of moving windows with the mousew

these days you can

[wheat plume]

You aren't meant to use mouse xd

[pale sigil]

you can tho

i dont mean drag

i mean adjust windows

[wheat plume]

Yeh

[pale sigil]

hyperland would be mice on a touch screen i rekon

[wheat plume]

Nope

Gnome is really good on one though

[pale sigil]

is it tho

last i tried it was shite

[wheat plume]

Same gestures work on touchscreen the same way as on touchpad

[pale sigil]

laptop gestures are still horendious too

[wheat plume]

Not in gnome

[pale sigil]

I have gnome 49 on my Laptop

[wheat plume]

[umbral heron]

[pale sigil]

Use Windows on the laptop and come back to me

Because you're crazy

[wheat plume]

I wish I could use them to control media playback and volume like you can on Windows though

[pale sigil]

Did you hit your head, if so, its the only excuse ill accept for that claim.

[wheat plume]

But the desktop navigation is way better than Windows

[ashen spindle]

[pale sigil]

get back in the basement

[umbral heron]

Idea - we crowdfund a hostile takeover of Microsoft, lock all Windows devs in basement and make them make Windows 7 2.0

Then we are going to put whole board of directors into one of their AI server rooms and recreate Hunger Games

[pale sigil]

speaking of Windows

i somehoiw have 2` versions of steam open

[pale sigil]

Hello arch my old friend

i take itr back

i love plasma now

still ugly

[pale sigil]

actually kinda dig this

lets test sleep....

Sleep no work

Outstanding

Ayyy

It eventually worked

if auto screen off works fine ill be happy with that

@umbral heron ngl kde has come along way

I have a problem that if I use analog i press the ‘w’ key and my ‘a’ and ‘d’ key only go 60% sometimes. Is there a fix for that or is it that the magnets are confused cause of the ‘w’ press

[raw zephyr]

I never use analog personally, but it makes sense if you press forward on a real stick and want to go left at the same time you cannot have 100% in the direction and keep going forward 🤷‍♂️

[fair gull]

what do you mean the a and d key only go 60% as in the combined stick angle?

[smoky parrot]

Ooft

[umbral heron]

That's how joypad works, limits to 70% because circle
If you want to override that check Gamepad > Configuration > Use Square joystick output, then it'll allow axes go simultaneously to 100%

Digital sovereignty? Now Microsoft can kill our whole corpo with one snap of a fingers

Why can't Americans be normal
Okay, it's one thing not use metric system, or DD/MM/YY, or Celsius or 24 hour clock...
But why do they have calendars where week starts on Sunday?! How does that make any sense?!

[leaden kiln]

aren't there a lot of countries that use sunday start weeks

not just on the american continent either

[distant tapir]

Week starting on Sunday is/was a normal Christian thing. Sunday was also the first day of week in Norway until recently. In old (1800s) dictionaries I have it's listed as the first day of the week

[umbral heron]

Oh

Let me rephase that then

Why can't Christians be normal

[rough osprey]

now that is hard

[distant tapir]

Mine also starts on Sunday

[umbral heron]

Took me like 20 minutes to dig through all settings on my ereader to set calendar to start on Monday

[leaden kiln]

it might be due to christian influence but a lot of asian countries also have sunday as the first day of the week

[umbral heron]

Some dude made a fishing club with his buddies 2000 years ago and now I have to suffer with modern technology using calendars having Sunday as first day of week

[leaden kiln]

top 10 first world problem type shi

[marsh glade]

Because a week is a loop.
Take a piece of string, and shape it into a loop.
The ends of the week, the weekend, are the start and the finish of the loop.
Therefore, the week ends of Saturday and starts on Sunday.

[umbral heron]

Noe
Weekend is a rest after work, therefore days of rest are after days of work, makes perfect sense

[leaden kiln]

but I work weekends

[urban peak]

I've been having this issue recently where my keyboard keys randomly press themselves this only happens to keys that have tachyon mode enabled. Could it be due to the combination of Tachyon Mode and rapid trigger being so low? Or is this not supposed to happen and I should just contact support?

[sudden imp]

Try unplugging it for a moment then plugging it back in

May be a calibration thingy

[urban peak]

Ive done this a lot of times

[sudden imp]

Rip

[urban peak]

I even waited some time till wootility had an update

hoping that would fix it

funny enough yesterday after the update it was fixed I no longer had this issue and shit my pc down happily
and today when I launch my pc the same issue occured again

Basically whenever i toggle on Tachyon Mode as you can see it thinks the key is slightly pressed or something like that...

No matter the key it shows the same default value and no key is being touched at all

[vagrant pagoda]

when it happens disable tach and set keyboard to a analog based rgb mode and see if you have any keys flickering

[urban peak]

where do i set it to analog?

[vagrant pagoda]

and of the rgb modes that have a analog effect

[vagrant pagoda]

you have to be out of tach

[urban peak]

i am i disabled all of tach

as you can see also no more actuation bug (it does come back once i re-enable tachyon mode)

[vagrant pagoda]

did they remove touch?

[urban peak]

here is my entire wootility UI im using their app not the browser one

[vagrant pagoda]

im on 5.3 beta 4

but its been there for years

do you have it in a digital or analog mode?

[urban peak]

im on v5.2.4

[vagrant pagoda]

you gotta put it on a analog profile fam XD

[urban peak]

oh do you mean these?

[vagrant pagoda]

yes

[urban peak]

like this?

[vagrant pagoda]

no

just hit a1

[urban peak]

i did

its on Main

i created a new analog profile

okay when i press Mode or A1
The RGB switches over fine no flickering or anything

funny enough even with the default analog profile when i toggle tachyon on on a key it has the same issue

oh the scroll lock button flickers apparently

not always it stopped flickering...

[jaunty rose]

Really interesting video a friend sent me!

[pale sigil]

[empty wren]

That is a good sign

[pale sigil]

Now I just need to figure it out;

• How to disable everything re opening when logging in
• Change boot order to default to Windows until I get remote shit working properly

@umbral heron any idea what causes the former

[umbral heron]

Oh yeah, there's a setting for that

[pale sigil]

Ah for fuck sake

[umbral heron]

For later use efibootmgr
For first thing let me take a look

[pale sigil]

I can't have my remote app work when screen dims

Always something!

That's probably why I'll default Windows and just use Linux when I'm actually at my desktop.

It's the only middle ground

Consequence of Wayland

Wait.... I hope sunshine works with Wayland

Nooooooooooooo

[umbral heron]

in Plasma settings Session > Desktop Session > Session Restore > Start with empty session

Sunshine works, I use it

[pale sigil]

Ye but it doesn't just work

Guess I'll just use sunshine on Windows because like.

I WoL a lot and use it that way.

It won't work with screen dim

How is Wayland so shit on basic things

[umbral heron]

But it works just fine for me out of the box

[halcyon moss]

Samsung does qi2 (which is magsafe but made available by Apple)
But Samsung doesn't include the magnet in the phone. At least not on the S25u. The magnet is on the case

[halcyon moss]

Because wayland is more secure, screensharing is more annoying as well.. Like having to install some funk

[umbral heron]

I just added LizardByte repo, installed package as it said on git and changed monitor in settings, because it was casting the wrong one
That's it

[pastel galleon]

screen recording is fine though right

[umbral heron]

In most cases you just get a prompt which screen to share to app and that's it
OBS worked with Wayland for ages

Although I hope that they will just ditch some of the "security measures" in favour of usability
No reason for the app to not control its window placement or other apps getting window names

[lyric hatch]

That's because the s25 ultra has a stylus that works magnetically and even having a case with magnets messes it up, having an internal magnet would make it basically unusable

[pale sigil]

Either way it doesn't work with my use

It doesn't work with screen dimming

[wheat plume]

Does windows boot without secure Boot enabled?

[pale sigil]

Yes

[umbral heron]

Sure

[pale sigil]

But you can't use pin/hello

[halcyon moss]

This is my current windows on my laptop

[wheat plume]

Can't use pin???

[pale sigil]

It'll bitch and moan

[wheat plume]

So I use password?
I have a local account enabled no Microsoft account

[pale sigil]

I use a local account with password and pin

[halcyon moss]

Funny thing is that it will still sorta accept fingerprint sensor, but it won't proceed

[umbral heron]

If you want dual boot with Secure Boot it's 4 commands on Linux side - install sbctl, reinstall grub with tpm and secure boot support, sbctl create-keys and sbctl enroll-keys --microsoft https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

[pale sigil]

I enabled secure boot and it doesn't have any issues

After install

[umbral heron]

[pale sigil]

I had to disable it for installing though

[umbral heron]

I don't have Windows anymore on PC and I still have Secure Boot enabled because it works

[pale sigil]

I'm doing a lot as is, I'm not ready to nuke windows

XD

Until I find a solution for everything it won't happen

If I could use WoL and remote easily like I do windows sure, but I can't.

Wayland stops that.

Does kde even work with x11

[umbral heron]

I think they still support it, just have to install plasma-x11-session, because they split wayland and x11

[pale sigil]

Seems more hassle than it's worth

Pretty sure x11 isn't as smooth either

[umbral heron]

Wayland? Yeah

[pale sigil]

I mean x11

Are you using x11

[umbral heron]

Oh

I'm using wayland, the only hassle I had was Discord screensharing, but they fixed it like 3 months ago I think

[pale sigil]

x11 is neglected from what ive read and generally isn't stable anymore

[umbral heron]

There are patches for most headaches for years, but Gnome devs are vetoing most of them, because "nobody uses it anyway" and "muh security"
For example proper permission handling between apps and access to stuff x11 had for years in a secure manner

[pale sigil]

Its a hit and miss for me

Xwayland btw I just read about

[crimson wigeon]

But if you run the game through Wayland directly cause it makes it smoother or you want fancy crap like HDR then the overlay won't receive any of your input

So toy can activate the recording no matter what apps in focus on your screen

[pale sigil]

good for you : D

But nah, its more hassle ands not worth it

[indigo sonnet]

turn on replay buffer on obs and set it to launch at startup/minimize

[pale sigil]

still hassle

[indigo sonnet]

for setup i agree. in usage i dont

[ashen spindle]

uses linux
needs separate tool to not do 5 minute one time setup to have infinitely more options

[indigo sonnet]

good point actually

[pale sigil]

i mean

it took me 2 seconds

it just works

lol

i dont use hotkeys either, never have

xd

well

i always alt + z and click save

[indigo sonnet]

you know what. fair enough if you arent interested in a clipping hotkey

[ashen spindle]

yes I'm making fun of you spending like hours earlier and then not wanting to spend 5 mintues on a obs setup is all xD

[pale sigil]

Ye but this is my reward

something that just works right away

: D

[indigo sonnet]

i bet you use arch

did you rice out your desktop?

[pale sigil]

nope

[indigo sonnet]

show

[indigo sonnet]

no neofetch 😔 no anime girls 😩

[pale sigil]

brb a few min

[pastel galleon]

i wondered if the cat always looked that happy

or if it was edited

[indigo sonnet]

i think its because of the wide angle lens

[pastel galleon]

probably

[wheat plume]

I tired CachyOS earlier....
Couldn't get secure Boot working :/

Or my external SSD for my steam game library
Though now I've got Fedora and both those are working

[indigo sonnet]

i wish riot supported linux so i could give linux a real try

[wheat plume]

I followed the wiki guide for secure Boot on the CachyOS wiki
But no go still :'(

[pastel galleon]

What do you need secure boot for?

[wheat plume]

Vanguard anticheat?

[wheat plume]

I also have Windows on a second internal SSD ....which needs secure Boot

[indigo sonnet]

yup. thats the only thing really holding me back

[pale sigil]

@indigo sonnetDoes this satisfy you

[pastel galleon]

oh :(

[wheat plume]

What about a second internal SSD for just windows and Valorant? Like what on basically doing for Windows and fortnite xd

[indigo sonnet]

goonable, yes sir it does

[wheat plume]

No dual boot
You choose to boot windows with the bios boot menu

[pale sigil]

Windows to go?

[wheat plume]

No risk of windows breaking the setup

[wheat plume]

Essentially xd but on a fast drive

[pale sigil]

there is no essentially

it is or it isn't

is it via usb or sata

[wheat plume]

My Windows install??

It's an m.2 SSD inside my desktop

[pale sigil]

ok so not windows to go

[wheat plume]

Whenever I want to boot Windows, I spam f12 and then choose that drive

But default it boots Linux xd

[pale sigil]

why not just add to the linux bootloader

[wheat plume]

And risk a windows update overriding my bootloader? No thanks

[pale sigil]

but thats not how it woreks

works

Windows still uses its own bootloader, the linux one just swaps to it.

when you select

[indigo sonnet]

ive thought about it, but ive been prioritizing other things to buy

[wheat plume]

Oh wait....
That's not a problem on separated drives apparently

[wheat plume]

Just got a small capacity drive
Doesn't need to be SSD xd

[pale sigil]

ye so lana

[ashen spindle]

day 450 of people saying windows updates arent breaking their dual boot setup and lana still says it breaks it

[pale sigil]

this is not the same thing

This is the install alongside Windows feature

its on about

[indigo sonnet]

i kinda need another ssd anyways, newer games like marvel rivals and helldivers 2 suck on hard drives

[pale sigil]

i have linux on seperate drives, the linux drive has my linux/linux bootloader and on another windows boot loader

they do not interact

[wheat plume]

I tried this guide for secure Boot
It didn't work ....
The enroll keys command
Said the system wasn't in reset mode?

https://wiki.cachyos.org/configuration/secure_boot_setup/

[pale sigil]

secure boot worked fine for me

I did not need to do any of this

[indigo sonnet]

let me add to that, my dual boot win 11 and win 10 has never broken

[wheat plume]

I enabled it in the bios without doing anything first and the system didn't boot

[pale sigil]

ye i did it after install

[wheat plume]

Same
But no boot still

Booted immediately once it was disabled again

[wheat plume]

Noice

[pale sigil]

i dids not even think about it lol

[wheat plume]

Same for Fedora

[pale sigil]

i forgot i had it off

can i manually contribute to steam hardware survey

linux needs me

[wheat plume]

Also
My issue with the controller not working in Distance when running the game natively is fixed on Fedora, which is odd cause Bluefin is also Fedora but the controller didn't work on that unless I ran the game through proton

But running the game through proton is locked to 48fps for some reason

[pastel galleon]

my friend told me to dual boot windows and my linux install

on my framework 16

[pale sigil]

Also ngl

[wheat plume]

It's fine if you do it on separate drives
And remove the Linux drive from the computer when you install Windows to the other one

[pale sigil]

there is a lot of bloat on cachyos

[wheat plume]

Oooooo jealous
I want that laptop....

[pale sigil]

ye doing dual boot with windows is horrible

[wheat plume]

Ironic ...considering the main focus of CachyOS is speed

[pale sigil]

ive ran into the update issue before

[pale sigil]

i consider mpv bloat tb

tbf

[wheat plume]

....mpv is the least bloated media player possible

[pale sigil]

i did not want it pre installed

and there is a random media playertoo

there are like 50 terminals too

why

[wheat plume]

Fair
I use it to stream my music using a keyboard shortcut

[wheat plume]

I have a shortcut to play my local music and another to stream my YouTube playlist

[wheat plume]

The only terminal you need is Alacrity

[pale sigil]

Why does there need to be 4 terminals

there doesn't

[wheat plume]

I see 3

[pale sigil]

are console and konsole not different?

[wheat plume]

Oh my bad

No
They are not the same xd

[pale sigil]

thats what im saying

Alac
Kitty
Console
Konsole

Aso other than flameshot and xsnap which i installed

why are there two image viewers

[wheat plume]

3 document viewers....

Ok
2 and a scanner

That being said....
CachyOS uses fish by default
I may swap back to fish tbh
I do like the colors and the autocompletion

[pale sigil]

Why install video player

And mpv

[wheat plume]

Or do I stick to my zsh / powerlevel10k combo?

[wheat plume]

Why's the gnome video player on a plasma desktop install?

[pale sigil]

also why is octopi installed

[pale sigil]

Oh...

that might explain it

😂

[wheat plume]

Huh??
Oh
Did you install plasma alongside gnome???

[pale sigil]

ye

and hyperland

[wheat plume]

NO SHIT YOUVE GOT 2 OF EACH APP XD

[pale sigil]

oop

[wheat plume]

Xd

[pale sigil]

how do i safely remove gnome

[wheat plume]

Console is gnome terminal
Konsole is plasma terminal

[pale sigil]

i have no interest in it

[wheat plume]

You can tell it's plasma cause it has a k

[pale sigil]

ok apparently not worthit

ill li ed

live

[pastel galleon]

I got the 7700S GPU

it's nice

[wheat plume]

Ooo yes yes
AMD 💜

[pastel galleon]

I never dual booted, i just main cachyos and I'm very happy with it

[pale sigil]

also i used to use piper but it does not work with my mouse

which is poop

[pastel galleon]

My only issue is my trackpad sometimes disconnects, not really sure whats up with yhat

[pale sigil]

solaar works but i cant do anything reallyt

[wheat plume]

I have a 256 GB SSD spare....
I may move my Windows install to that
Would 256 be enough for fortnite and Forza horizon 5?

[pale sigil]

cant remap etc

[pastel galleon]

its not a huge deal since i just reconnect it and its back to normal

[wheat plume]

Try piper instead

[pale sigil]

lana

look up

[wheat plume]

O

Solaar has a nice nicer UI too

[pale sigil]

like, idk whgat it is but as soon as i go back to Windows im so comfortable, it feels so nice and clean haha

[wheat plume]

That used to happen with the speakers on my previous laptop....
Waking it from sleep made the speakers stop working until I rebooted it :/

It wasn't a Linux issue
The exact same thing happened on Windows too

[austere birch]

Can someone help me i'm having some wierd issues where randomly when i spam somekeys some keys don't register example switching quick from my gun and knife in cs while pressing W, some time even if my W is pressed it stops registeing. i didnt change anything.

[pastel galleon]

I also got the FW16 because my friends kept pestering me to get a laptop but I dont like laptops at all

so I got the FW16 because it was the only laptop that made sense to me

[wheat plume]

The Framework Desktop is hella tempting me 😅

[pale sigil]

i love my laptop

[wheat plume]

Pricey af though :'(

[pale sigil]

I would never buy a framework

Joke of a price

[pastel galleon]

fair

[pale sigil]

literally throwing money in the bin

[pastel galleon]

i just dont want 1 part to be faulty and then have to probably get a new laptop altogether

doesnt make sense to me

[wheat plume]

Yeah
The fact the framework 13 is still thin and light while being user upgradable is awesome

[pastel galleon]

also if there will ever be Single CCD X3D mobile framework 16 boards, I will definitely get that board

[unkempt lake]

Try using wibdows @pale sigil

[pale sigil]

the ram

[ashen spindle]

you can still repair a normal laptop you know that?

its not like the average windows laptop is using soldered ram like apple

[pale sigil]

Well

[pastel galleon]

part of the reason i bought the framework in december before they had to hike their prices

[pale sigil]

Ye but even ebfore the hike

You cant just replace it

either

[unkempt lake]

Some have 1 dimm soldered 1 unsoldered

Kinda the new trend as of late

[pastel galleon]

I'm not that skilled, but I would love to learn how to

[unkempt lake]

But hey at least it's upgradable

[pastel galleon]

thats also why I like my framework 16

[ashen spindle]

I mean its taking out screws or letting a repair place do that

[unkempt lake]

I'll say if you can build a desktop you can most likely replace a basic part

In a laptop

Did you have someone build you desktop for you?

[umbral heron]

Smart, no one will steal it from you during Great Hardware Wars of 2028

[pale sigil]

Its so cool how i can just launch rivals

[unkempt lake]

They can only steel half the ram

[heady hazel]

i mean most big Laptop makers have a small video tutorial on how to add ram or change a ssd

[pale sigil]

I know proton is not new

but it still blows me away

my fps is a bit poop but im going to assume because i skipped vulkan shaders and in game sahders

[pastel galleon]

im talking about soldering or reballing parts

or dealing with bad hinge designs

I dont know how to deal with those

I dont believe I wasted my money on the laptop

[unkempt lake]

Half pf the time it's not worth reballing anyways

[umbral heron]

Reballing is fun

[unkempt lake]

Random but my old msi laptop still works great even tho it was abused to shit

I mean ok there's a piece of tape holding it together a little but it's mostly structurally sound

[pale sigil]

ooft that perf

[nocturne pelican]

yo anyone got any idea on what to set these settings on? i'm having issue where i press sometimes dd or aa two times in a row...

[pale sigil]

Im back on Windows and it does feel nice

[empty wren]

For stuff to work?

[pastel galleon]

no, it ruins the fun for me, I love building ITX systems

[pale sigil]

Idk it just feels smooth and nice

[empty wren]

I thought Linux was supposed to be that with reduced background noise

Alright then

[pale sigil]

I mean aesthetics and feel

If I could 1:1 windows 11 I would

But you simply can't

[empty wren]

Ah

[pale sigil]

Animations for example

I really really loved Windows 11

@ashen spindle https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/s/WwYihJajDd

Lol

Same hero 800+ hours

[empty wren]

I mean max brightness with white probably exasperated that. I remember seeing someone's galaxy phone it was burned in at the status bar and navigation virtual buttons

[pastel galleon]

I could never buy an OLED

[distant tapir]

Permanent or temporary?

[ashen spindle]

not sure why I'm pinged for that but even 800 hours isnt much that just seems like someone ignoring the burn in protection features

[lyric hatch]

well you've probably had one in your pocket for quite some time

[ashen spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbEgQrigiLc

like thats a lot more and he's seeing less burn in just bc he does the refresh cycles

[rough osprey]

i lowkey got those features turned off

[fair gull]

i dont have that cause i think i bought a VA panel

[nimble arch]

I don’t have that because I’m not intentionally burning in my OLED panel.

[fair gull]

oh i didnt know it a setting for burn in testers

[nimble arch]

Oh, the refresh cycles are on all OLEDs. I was commenting on the broader topic.

[frozen ingot]

had a VA for ages too

I might replace it this year, its getting on a bit

[umbral heron]

https://frvr.com/blog/news/valve-confirms-steam-deck-shortage-caused-by-worldwide-ram-crisis-because-ai-companies-hate-you/

[ashen spindle]

on the bright side means less people get a steam deck assuming it can still play new games

[marsh glade]

Why is that the bright side?

[frozen ingot]

they do need to update the hardware a bit

but now they can't really do that reasonably because slopomania

[ashen spindle]

because if you get a steam deck play something new and get 12fps you'd be not enjoying that?

[marsh glade]

Is the Steamdeck that outdated qua hardware?

[ashen spindle]

the cpu STRUGGLES

its cut down zen2

[frozen ingot]

it wasn't that great even at launch but at that time it was at least pretty competitive on price

[umbral heron]

Also Valve's fault - who in a right mind would make Borderlands 4 verified on Deck if it doesn't work like verified on 90% of PCs out there

[frozen ingot]

it wasn't for the past year or two

[ashen spindle]

verified on deck doesnt mean it runs well

[crimson wigeon]

Or maybe developers could just optimize their shit more

Hell, make the AI do it if it's too much for the humans

[nimble arch]

Valve’s fault for being hands-off regarding platform moderation.

[crimson wigeon]

Maybe the AI could do something good...

[ashen spindle]

huh what does platform moderation have to do with any of this

[nimble arch]

Enforcing clear rules for the store front is platform moderation?

[umbral heron]

Deck be outdated, true, but I wouldn't put like top of the line stuff in it either
I don't want a handheld that can only last an hour on battery

[frozen ingot]

tbh most new games are pretty ass too

[ashen spindle]

what rules for the store front? huh?

[frozen ingot]

at least in the triple A sloposphere

[umbral heron]

Indies flourish
Timberborn 1.0 release in March

[nimble arch]

Enshrouded and Valheim both hit 1.0 this year

[ashen spindle]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3050900/ROMEO_IS_A_DEAD_MAN/ game this heavy on particles and looks and steam deck hurts in cpu limit

[magic minnow]

Like these?

https://partner.steamgames.com/steamdirect/

[nimble arch]

GTA VI

[frozen ingot]

can't wait to finally beat valheim

[umbral heron]

Valheim I'll only believe when I see it

[frozen ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/old-boomer-history-84years-many-years-ago-gif-18534104

[smoky parrot]

Funny enough

Guild Wars 2 is amazing on steamdeck

[magic minnow]

So is FFXIV

[nimble arch]

I suspect 1.0 will coincide with the PS5 and Switch 2 release.

[marsh glade]

It seems obvious to me that a handheld would only be suited for a specific subset of games, based on both performance and gameplay style

[smoky parrot]

I don't think anyone would expect to run the last game full bells and whistles

[fair gull]

you obviously havent seen the steam reviews.... it runs well on everyones PC (if they have a dual 5090)

[smoky parrot]

But, maybe that's me

I remember the old pentiums :v

[umbral heron]

HOL UP, There's new Suda51 game?!

[ashen spindle]

Yeah but that’s the thing it’s starting to run into cpu limits when the game is graphics heavy so even if you get games that don’t look like they are heavy it’s going to run into performance problems

I was mostly joking anyway xD but yes for newer games the cpu is just really struggling

[marsh glade]

What do I know, I just play Rimworld 😛

[reef patrol]

Rimworld can get quite demanding on the CPU (and to some extent GPU) depending on your modset.

[marsh glade]

Mostly vanilla

[umbral heron]

[ashen spindle]

but also there isnt going to be any good handheld chips coming out the next years probably so... either SD has to live on for a lot longer or SD2 is going to kinda suck most likely

[vapid ruin]

Or SD2 be using Snapdragon chip

[smoky parrot]

Get down mr president

[ashen spindle]

yes thats still going to suck bc qualcom gpus are kinda poo xD

[nimble arch]

Or the prices will go up

SD2 for only $900

[ashen spindle]

price doesnt matter

higher price isnt giving you a better low power chip options

[umbral heron]

Supporting a small subset of VR games via Proton/FEX for Frame seems quite possible, but I wouldn't expect ARM in SD2

[ashen spindle]

imo snapdragon is the most likely chip for SD2

but only because its the least worst option

[nimble arch]

I wonder what’ll happen with the rumoured PlayStation handheld?

[ashen spindle]

thats likely getting a custom cut down sku

[umbral heron]

I wan Steam Machine
Smol box that will live near my TV for gaming after work from bed

[vapid ruin]

Unholy option, apple M chip

[ashen spindle]

loooool

that would be funny

[nimble arch]

Apple TV with an M-series chip for peak living room gaming.

[smoky parrot]

Mom says it's my turn on the comfy steam box

[ashen spindle]

but that handheld is probably a 2028 thing anyway so they have more options

either cut down regular amd sku or a custom one maybe on a cheap samsung node or similar

but they can afford something special unlike valve

[nimble arch]

True

PS5 stock and price should also be fine in 2026, if the media reports of them securing supply is true.

[umbral heron]

An idea
Let's go and burn down all OpenAI's server facilities so proces of RAM and storage will go back to normal

[nimble arch]

I don’t think hardware will get cheaper once the bubble bursts.

Higher prices are probably here to stay.

[ashen spindle]

but valves option for steam deck 2 in my order of likelihood are : snapdragon>amd zen6+rdna3.5>>>>>>intel>> amd zen6+rdna5>nvidia tegra

[crimson wigeon]

Just like with GPUs, higher prices are here to stay

[old marlin]

yea wait until deckard is out in the wild and we'll see how nice stuff runs on it natively

I assume that will play a heavy factor in steamdeck 2 architecture

[ashen spindle]

FEX runs quite well

[old marlin]

yea but deckard will make the userbase SPIKE

[crimson wigeon]

It will probably perform worse than Deck since it's a similarly old chip

[old marlin]

more about how well games will run on it respective of the hardware

[ashen spindle]

you will be surprised how well they will run

[old marlin]

bigger userbase will more easily show general support etc

[old marlin]

oh yea I am not saying it will run bad, but that will just be a big test for FEX imo

[crimson wigeon]

My last experience with FEX is not great, but that's like a year ago. Just wanted to run a simple old dedicated server for game, completely deadlocked after a few seconds of glorious working

[old marlin]

big user base will be the best way to find possible rough edges

[ashen spindle]

ehh, from someone who worked on fex in parts, it's surprisingly well, and even if there would be some more issues, thats not thing you cant fix in time

[old marlin]

and with deckard not being intended to run everything locally 100% it is a good way to test imo

[crimson wigeon]

It will be funny if Steam remains a x86 32bit program even on deckard

[ashen spindle]

given that a SD2 wouldn't be out this year anyway and if we assume next year launch, it could still already be made with a snapdragon and you have enough time to smooth out unknown issues

its really going to be a thing of how cheap is amd going to sell them their scraps again and does it work well enough on low power for them to not use qualcom

[old marlin]

giving how long we knew of deckard and how little we know of a steamdeck 2 I personally think that a 2027 release would be optimistic

[ashen spindle]

well deckard needs a lot more custom work than a handheld

[old marlin]

and in that amount of time just about anythign can happen still

[nimble arch]

2027 is optimistic for new hardware in general

[old marlin]

well, knowing valve who knows what they are doing

[nimble arch]

PS6 might be 2029 at this point.

[crimson wigeon]

Valve Silicon obviously

[nimble arch]

Not even 2028

[old marlin]

valve ram fab

[ashen spindle]

nope consoles are not going to change timeline at all

too far into the cycle to change that

[old marlin]

yea not since sony decided that they aren't gonna sell consoles at a loss

[ashen spindle]

the only thing you could change would be something like ram amounts maybe

[old marlin]

aka release model is an xbox series s

and the "pro" model a few years later is the reg one

[ashen spindle]

nah you wouldn't get more ram on a later model

[vapid ruin]

Can't wait for Valve to turn New Zealand into second TSMC

[nimble arch]

I hope we get PS6 in 2027, moving on from a Zen 2 CPU would be great.

At which point government will begin enforcing limits on purchases for corporations?

[reef patrol]

Mhmm

[vapid ruin]

The year of (cloud hardware) linux looms

[nimble arch]

Apple servers to return

[hollow path]

One phone policy and ten trillion to ai data centres, the governments are in the pockets of the conglomerates anyway. Seeing how microsoft can just build a new illegal datacenter in The Netherlands says enough

No new power connection for houses but a hyperscale datacenter is no problem

[crimson wigeon]

You see those houses would provide very little monies, but that datacenter is gonna be worth billions

[frozen ingot]

yep the AI boom is basically one big nail into the coffin that is personal ownership

it has a cascading effect across many industries

[sudden imp]

[frozen ingot]

its not enough for the cannibal elites to own everything materialistic, the final step is owning you

[vagrant pagoda]

or the bubble will burst

[umbral heron]

It won't
It would if it was capitalism
But it's capitalism with cheats, so government will pump money tax into AI companies

[analog sinew]

slop will continue until morale improves

[frozen ingot]

we're making the slop subscription only

[analog sinew]

can my life be subscription only so i can cancel

[placid plover]

[vapid ruin]

Hmm, if gaming do just be on the cloud, that could possibly mean the main thing people going to spend now are the peripherals

[placid plover]

z

[sullen bear]

It will become incredibly p2w lol

People with actual rigs will farm those on the cloud

[vapid ruin]

I meant keyboards and alike, not computers

[sullen bear]

I think then it doesnt even matter anymore

Unless everyone has glass fibre you’ll all have similar slop delays

[ashen spindle]

eh for 99% of players delay doesnt mean anything anyway

cant blame it on lag if 50% of the players run head first into the molotov on inferno banana

[pale sigil]

Maybe my LCD steam deck value will go up

@ashen spindle I tagged because it was funny but also it's 2020 oled

[urban peak]

can someone explain what causes this weird behavior where wootility think i am slightly pressing a key

[lyric hatch]

Unplug for 10 seconds replug and don't touch any keys for 10 seconds to recalibrate

[urban peak]

am i supposed to do this every single day?

[lyric hatch]

No

[urban peak]

also do i keep wootility open or closed during this?

[lyric hatch]

Doesn't matter

[urban peak]

okay done

okay so rn it seems fine but its been a constant struggle so far where everytime i restart my pc i get this bug and so far the only thing that helped was to start up wootility

• switch back and forth between profiles
• toggle off tachyon mode save
• toggle on tachyon mode save
• and wait

if lets say later or tomorrow it happens again what would you advice me to do?

support ticket? or do you have other troubleshoot steps that you could provide for me to try out?

[ashen spindle]

check #1019755933959733258and if there isnt a post about the same thing make one and see if someone knows the answer

[urban peak]

is this looking correct aswell?

i was assuming perhaps something went wrong with a driver??

since i saw someone else they had 6 usb input device drivers

[ashen spindle]

driver is fine, as I said check the support section

[rose surge]

Guys can someone help me, I tried to update my kezyboard after 10 min or sth it was still not working so I restarted pc and now it won’t work

[smoky parrot]

Can someone recommend me a decent budget dac for my PC?

[sudden imp]

honestly google may be more helpful

just look up DAC

and see what is in your price range

[leaden kiln]

Apple dongle

[vapid ruin]

what is your budget?

also what headphone/iem you'll be using with it?

[smoky parrot]

100ish euro? Is that reasonable? I'm using truthear x crinacle zero blues

I was looking at the lil kiwi ears allegro portable amp

[vapid ruin]

More than reasonable. You can get away with apple dongle. But if you want to spend that amount there's Moondrop Dawn pro 2, Tanchjim Luna, and Fiio Ka15 if you're planning to get a hard to drive headphone someday.

[smoky parrot]

What does hard to drive mean, sorry

I have chu 2 and these truthears

I'm looking at potentially picking up starfields

[hollow path]

fr, good ass dac

[smoky parrot]

Trying to expand my horizons so to speak

[distant tapir]

If you're American, it means manual transmission

[smoky parrot]

Lmao, I'm not but funny

[leaden kiln]

apple shill/puppet (me)

[vapid ruin]

its like trying to get 60mph with a shit box. Not a good experience.

[hollow path]

lmao, nothing wrong with a little apple dongle in everybody's life. Its probably good enough for 90% of use cases

[smoky parrot]

I just found this on AliExpress:
Linsoul Kiwi Ears Allegro Mini Portable High-Fidelity DAC USB C to 3.5/4.4mm Output with High Resolution 32bit/384kHz HiFi Amp
https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIyVXL6

Has anyone tried this one per chance?

I'm worried it's too cheap basically

If that makes sense

[coarse raptor]

price isn't everything for iems, that thing will handle starfields easily

[vapid ruin]

looks to be just your cheapo dongle dac

[hollow path]

looks inconvenient tbh

[smoky parrot]

I'm hearing different things now

I should've prefaced with this

[vapid ruin]

imo it'll do fine

[coarse raptor]

just grab the apple dongle, it’s legit for iems and saves you cash

[smoky parrot]

If I use my 3.5mm jack on the front of my pc, there's a static when things are supposed to be silent

And the one on the back does not have said static but my iem cable is too short for that in my setup

[vapid ruin]

3.5mm cable extender

[leaden kiln]

cheap chifi can often be good, I don’t think he meant cheap=bad, just that it looks like the average quality dongle

[vapid ruin]

I got one, has no latency, and potentially less risk compared to long extension cable.

[smoky parrot]

I'd prefer to stay away from too long cabke extenders

I'm literally maybe 10cm short to be comfortable

[vapid ruin]

if that's the case, prop a dongle dac with usb c in and a 1-2m c to c cable

[coarse raptor]

front usb port with the dongle solves the length issue too

[smoky parrot]

Will the dongle fix the static you reckon?

So what I'm hearing is Apple dongle :p

[vapid ruin]

yesh yesh

[distant tapir]

Yes it will clean up the noise

[smoky parrot]

Thank you kind people

[hollow path]

apple dongle is the ultimate Big John dac and everyone that says otherwise is wrong

[smoky parrot]

Where do you best purchase an Apple dac?

[vapid ruin]

obv place would prop be an apple store

[smoky parrot]

Sounds very logical, thank you

[distant tapir]

If you want the American version which is twice as powerful you have to buy it from Amazon or something I think

Assuming you're Yuropean

[smoky parrot]

I am european, yes

[umbral heron]

[reef patrol]

Here's hoping it's all local.

[halcyon moss]

Just this is not enough to go by indeed

[ashen spindle]

cloud based password managers still sound insane to me, I'd never use that

[halcyon moss]

What do you use?

[distant tapir]

My brain

[ashen spindle]

KeePass

[vapid ruin]

my dream

[halcyon moss]

How do you sync between devices?

[ashen spindle]

I dont

[frozen ingot]

at this point I'll just store them on a piece of paper because nobody thinks anyone's foolish enough to have their actual passwords written on paper

[halcyon moss]

Good luck doing that with 200 password

[umbral heron]

Looks like BitWarden at least addressed and fixed all vulnerabilities already

[halcyon moss]

.........

[frozen ingot]

in all honesty though, all this password and safety shit just feels increasingly futile against what we're up against

[ashen spindle]

if I have another pc I'd want the same file on I'd transfer the key file via usb or something

[frozen ingot]

am just hoping am insignificant enough that nobody bothers to haxx me

not like I have much to steal

[coarse raptor]

syncthing makes that way easier while keeping it all local honestly

[ashen spindle]

I need to do that like maybe once a year if not less

I'm really not cloud hosting my passwords to keep me from using a usb stick for 3 minutes once a year

I think kepassXC is cross platform and has extensions and could do that? idk

[coarse raptor]

keepassxc is great, it basically has everything and stays offline like you want

[ashen spindle]

yeah and I dont see a reason to ever change that

[smoky parrot]

For the record; I bought an apple dongle :)

[halcyon moss]

Phone, tablet, pc, laptop 1,laptop 2

Ill use bitwarden

[ashen spindle]

I think you can self host some keepass fork? would do that if I had to use something hosted

Dlss 4.5 > fsr > native taa

[halcyon moss]

There is no actual title there lol

[unkempt lake]

I posted the reddit page cuz idk i dont speak frikin german so i used translate on my phone to read it lol

[sullen bear]

Who tf uses taa

[frozen ingot]

most modern games you play in native since its often forced on

[coarse raptor]

yeah forced upscaling is annoying, usually gotta hunt for a config tweak to disable it

[frozen ingot]

TAA isn't upscaling though

its just a shitty kind of anti aliasing

[coarse raptor]

ah yeah true my bad, good catch, just hate how blurry it makes everything look

[coarse raptor]

lol true it just smears everything honestly

[frozen ingot]

yeah, it ain't called the smudge filter option for nothing

and yeah as much as relying on upscaling is a bad habit in modern games it usually looks way better than TAA these days

[cerulean arch]

DLAA is the nicest AA

[umbral heron]

FXAA is peak

[indigo sonnet]

no AA is king

if you take off your glasses you get natural AA

[frozen ingot]

use a crt monitor, got that native aa
