I feel like I've heard my grandpa say this, things were better back in my day...

Penny Arcade Expo is one of the biggest gaming conventions in America (and Aus) so I'd say yeah. I think they still make the comic too.

I get ai being an existential threat to most of the denizens of lemmy (overwhelmingly techy and left leaning) but ai vastly simplified the Linux install process for me. I took a c++ class 10 years ago that I failed and that was about the extent of my programming knowledge so without AI it would've been a nightmare trying to get everything set up. Gemini remembered what distro I was installing, my drives and their /dev/ name or whatever, how I should insert those into fstab, why grub wasn't picking up my nobara install, etc. AI might be useless in other situations but computer commands and troubleshooting I think it's the one place it excels.

I concur on retrodeck, just a way better experience than emudeck. I like just knowing when I feel like emulating I click retrodeck and boom, it's all there. Way more cohesive.

Wish they were more widespread. Closest to me is... 800 miles away? Was nice when I was near one.

I always use isthereanydeal before buying anything, and that'll list gog on there was well. Good practice for getting a deal and buying drm free

The article disagrees, but idk what staffing numbers are right

Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I'm still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?

While I have you here too, I've just found one more bug that's been bothering me... In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won't select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It's kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn't really bring up anything conclusive. Here's a clip to see what I'm talking about. Thank you again!

I'm in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn't seem to replicate the issue...

Thanks for helping!

~~I'm on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it's using wayland as well. I'm using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.~~

~~I really can't peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I've only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that...~~

Ok, I'm not sure why I didn't try this, but I downloaded just the linux ...exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What's the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?

Thanks for the response, no dice though.

EDIT

So anything I said below was all a lie, it turns out that the issue was kde and my monitors, which are 240hz. I swapped to gnome and the issue disappeared, and then I installed bazzite kde on a second drive and the issue reappeared. Setting my refresh rate to 120hz stopped the flickering and upon setting it back to 240hz I do notice an appreciable decrease in artifacting. I have no idea what to do with this information, but if anyone is experiencing this try just decreasing your refresh rate for your monitors.


Howdy,

Just installed Nobara again and am trying to figure out why this is happening. I think it's a firefox thing since I haven't seen it happen in any other application; basically anytime I do a lot of scrolling, the firefox window breaks down and I can see my desktop background behind it. It always happens in the bottom right cornerish part of the window. I'm up to date on all updates as far as I'm aware. I did some googling and checking out the nobara discord but I couldn't find anything related. I tried recording my screen via spectacle to show the issue, but it wouldn't capture the issue.

Any help would be appreciated; I am a linux beginner so dumbing down any info you have would be nice. Thanks!

Probably because this post was submitted 9 hours before.

 

Hey, Henry's come to see us!

 

Pretty surprised, I was kind of expecting it to slip past its supposed spring release just due to its enormous success. Excited to play drm-free, especially after all of the rave reviews.
