We Have Been Promised a New Linux Smartphone Which is Not Based on Android in c/[email protected]

That's interesting! I hadn't heard of that yet. I wonder how viable that is on a phone or if it would hog too many resources.

Laptops/ PCs are generally well equipped enough. But a phone? Maybe!

I could have missed it, but is there any mention somewhere of compatibility with existing android/iOS apps?

One of the reasons the windows phone died was a lack of apps as they entered the market too late and app devs weren't very keen on building the app on yet another platform.

Probably because they're still airside and not officially in France yet? ( I don't know, just guessing )

Didn't Vista get a ton of hate for its new UI?

You mean "stand-ups" mister president. We're calling them stand-ups now. To make the government more efficient we're doing everything using the AGILE methodology now!

You'd expect governments to sue over this. Instead they'll queue up to buy the data

Someone playing cs2 Arch Wayland KDE without problems? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Note about the proton thing. The game will start but not let you start any competitive game ( unsure about workshop/casual) but it does start.

I tried this when I had issues with cs2 and my Nvidia card. I switched back to the native one because I couldn't play the proton version.

So i don't think you'll get banned for it, it just won't work. Except if you try to shoehorn/hack the proton version to be able to join competitive games. But that's a whole other reason to get banned.

Not having any issues anymore since I switched to team red. Though sadly that doesn't help your case :(.

I'd keep an eye out on the GitHub repo. It's where I found an issue w.r.t. my Nvidia card at the time and once they found the issue and fixed it it got patched in quite fast.

And using a simple system means that once somebody figures out the system, all your passwords become compromised potentially.

New gaming rig (lemmy.world)
 

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a new gaming rig as my current machine feels like it's getting a bit dated. Been gaming on Linux for the past 6 months to a year. Ditched Windows around the time they announced ads and that recall bullshit.

What are your experiences with gfx cards and their drivers? I haven't bought AMD (gfx) in... Over 20 years. Online results show conflicting answers. Some swear by AMD, others say the drivers are unstable and they need to reboot when switching games. Other say never to update the drivers as long as stuff works.

Currently have an Nvidia 2080 super. Which has served me quite well. But newer games are starting to give it a hard time. Never really had any driver related issue.

I have a friend with an AMD gfx ( windows) and he's not super happy with it. Game/pc crashes related to it apparently. So I'm a bit on the fence about AMD.

I'm not sure what to look for in a cpu. I currently have an AMD. I guess more expensive is better and that's about it? Is there a noticeable benefit of the amd 9 vs AMD 7 series?

I'm not looking to overclock any of the hardware.

What's the standard regarding memory nowadays? I've got 16 in my current rig, and more can't hurt. I would never go under 16. Was looking at 32 but I've seen PCs with 64 and wondered if that is just overkill or not.

I've mainly games on nobara, but recently switched to bazzite as I've been meaning to give that a go. I didn't really have any complaints om nobara.

Side note: my monitor supports Nvidia whatsitcalled, but not free sync I think.

Counter strike 2 issues (lemmy.world)
 

Is anybody here playing cs2? The game runs natively on Linux, but its more laggy than it was on windows for me. If i run cs2 in proton it works better than natively on Linux, but I'm unable to play competitive that way.

My issue is the following: the game just hangs/freezes occasionally. The duration is random. Could be 3-5 seconds, could be 10. Could be that I'd have to restart the game.

This occurs sometimes in the warm up before a match or when the bomb explodes.

It happens most consistently when i press the escape button in-game.

I'm running it on nobara/KDE. I've got the latest graphics drivers, tried validating the game files.

The game is set to run full screen ( as windowed fullscreen caps the framerate to 60, while the screen supports 144 ).

I can add more hardware info if required. The PC is 4 years old so its not ancient, but also not latest and greatest ( amd CPU+nvidia rtx 2080ti ).

Anybody else ran into this behaviour and ( hopefully) found a solution for it? Googling only left me with sites telling me to upgrade my gfx drivers on windows or 6 year old threads of CS:GO on windows.

Switching between wayland and x11 didn't really seem to make a lot of difference. It feels a little bit better on x11, but negligible.

There isnt really anything running on the backgroudn except discord.

Thanks!

Xbox controller over dongle (lemmy.world)
 

Hello fellow Linux gamers!

I've recently switched to nobara for gaming. I've had no real issues so far and it's all running smoothly! Queue my Xbox controller.

A year or two ago I bought an Xbox wireless control ( 2020 version according to the order ). Now I wanted to use the controller, but it is not being detected. The light keeps blinking. On nobara itself it looks like it mounted the dongle as a USB Stick.

That would explain why the controller isn't connecting.

How would I best go at tackling this? Any tips? I've already ran the following command:

nobara-controller-config

This installed some drivers and required a reboot ( which I did ).

Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!

Hello all,

I've recently gotten a MacBook pro at work. In the past I've mainly used Linux, so the switch isn't super drastic. I'm mainly getting used to the shortcuts. My work mainly involves DevOps related work.

Things I've installed so far ( besides standard things like an IDE ):

  • neovim
  • brew
  • rectangle
  • jq / uw
  • docker desktop
  • iterm2

I have some coworkers excited about Alfred, which I have installed, but haven't really used yet. Looks like an enhanced spotlight?

Any apps/tools you can recommend which makes your life easier on Macs? Hidden productivity gems?
