Most reviews on youtube are already telling the full story. My review is this: it’s a good controller, comfortable to hold, with tmr joysticks, gyro, trackpads and back buttons. I use it to play controller focused games, and as a mouse/keyboard solution for htpc purposes. It does the job very well, can’t complain. It’s also “just a controller” with more features, so there isn’t much to talk about in the first place.
I don’t know much about quicksync but it’s very likely that you’re just missing something on debian to have it working. I believe the hardware in that mini pc (particularly the 32gb of ram, that’s practically gold) is more than capable of running all the services you listed.
also, if anything installing stuff from the AUR makes things slightly safer because PKGBUILDs and .install files are a lot easier to inspect: you can check the source repo/tarball/whatever points to an official source, and you can verify that the scripts (which are just shell scripts) are not doing anything nefarious.
on the other hand, IIRC OBS and COPR just distribute binaries that are very hard to inspect
EDIT: just don’t use an AUR helper and you avoid most of the trouble
Take a look at Xournal++, it’s not precisely the same workflow but if “scrapbooking” is what she’s looking for then it’s quite good for that
It’s a simple game that runs well at launch and doesn’t have scummy micro transactions or live service. It might just be my opinion, but while the game is enjoyable, there’s nothing special about the story itself to justify making it into a series. I mean they can if they want to, but it’s more the technical formula that works and they need to repeat, rather than the story concept itself.
This reads like quite a different workflow, but AFAIK the standard in both x and wayland for inserting special characters is using a compose key. You can set up a key as the compose key in the keyboard settings of any de/wm/compositor (right alt in my case) and use it in a key sequence to assemble special characters. I use it all the time to type italian accent characters on a us keyboard and it’s always dependable and quite intuitive even for characters I don’t regularly use.
Some examples:
compose a " → äcompose e ' → écompose c , → çcompose o o → °compose - →I’m not saying your use case is invalid, but it falls well into unsupported territory I feel like, and reminds me of this.
This said, there must be a way for an application to simulate input, that’s what virtual keyboards do, including steam’s virtual keyboard which is not integrated in the desktop environment, so your workflow can likely be replicated. You might need to spend some time finding the right tool for it, or possibly creating your own, but wayland and plasma wayland in particular have all the bits in place to make this happen.
Sure, this comic edit is just for the fun of it
They accomplish different things. Anyway, in my experience music assistant is still a bit underbaked. But I’d love to hear what other people have to say!
you will still need multilib for a while: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/13015#issuecomment-4099423331
has it been a nightmare? I’m genuinely asking because I have it set up (with nextcloud master container) and although I don’t use it very often, the times I do it seems quite alright
Easiest way is to use heroic. You can easily install it from the discover store, log in with your gog account and click install. Then right click and add to steam directly from the heroic interface, this way it will show up in the deck game mode.
Ps: I know you wrote you don’t need a fancy launcher, but this is legitimately the absolute easiest way to go about it.
Pretty much the same as any other incarnation of openwrt, just without a lot of the compatibility headaches and weird installation processes that you typically have with other architectures. It’s just install and forget pretty much.
As for the link speed, you can just cat /sys/class/net/eth*/speed as with any other linux system. Not sure how your configurations stopped working or broke, maybe your storage got corrupted or something? Hard to tell, but I doubt openwrt caused it on its own, it sounds new to me.
I use middle click paste all the time, but the title is misleading and clickbaity. At least on GNOME’s side they’re discussing about disabling it by default, not completely. While this is annoying as long as the setting isn’t going away I’m fine with that and I understand the reasoning behind it.
As for opensense, I just like openwrt better. Also yeah sure I bought a dumb switch and a standalone access point (some zyxel also running openwrt) for an extra ~120eur total but that’s a whole setup and it works quite well.
FWIW I bought an N100 mini pc with 2 nics for ~100eur and use it as an openwrt router. It’s so easy and simple IDK why more people don’t recommend it.
I literally just installed the beta ;_; nevermind I thought this was finamp, not findroid. Please disregard this comment :D
mind telling me what adapters you tried? I haven’t faced this problem myself since I’m 100% DP, but if it does come up I’d like to know what’s what
In case anyone is interested, the whole HDMI 2.1 fiasco can easily be worked around by using DisplayPort. Assuming your monitor doesn’t have DisplayPort, you can buy an inexpensive active adapter that supports HDMI 2.1, where you have DP to your GPU and HDMI out to the monitor. This might sound undesirable but IIRC HDMI outs in intel gpus are actually going through adapters internally so it shouldn’t really make a difference.
EDIT: found the source for Intel GPUs using a built-in converter: https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/HDMI-2-1-UHD-144Hz-Arc-A750-A770/td-p/1452946
I literally set up encryption on a server with a usb drive a couple weekends ago, I did a writeup on my blog if you’re interested
just use what works for you? 14h battery life is gonna happen when we have proper arm laptops with good linux support, in the meantime you have to compromise. I think there are some arm laptops that are usable on linux, but it’s gonna be a science project not a stable workhorse machine
