From my experience, phasmo’s proximity chat works in-game, but not in the lobby.

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble!

Regarding the vainfo thing, at least on Arch, the Nvidia vaapi driver is a separate package. I’m not sure what the equivalent is on bazzite, but that’s likely why vainfo doesn’t show anything. And you should still be able to use nvenc anyways, which sunshine will choose before vaapi.

Is moonlight able to see the computer on your network? And in sunshine’s web interface under the “troubleshoot” tab, there’s a log. Does it say anything that might help?

My ds4 works out of the box— the touchpad even maps to the mouse cursor (I use libinput and Wayland).

Ds4drv, if you use it, will override the default kernel driver I believe. Make sure it’s not emulating an Xbox 360 controller, unless you want that.

ArchWiki also mentions that you need to disable hidraw in Wine. Maybe that’s related, if you have issues with Windows games?

If you’re feeling adventurous, you could compile Marlin yourself. I did it to use a pin as an “off” signal for my fans, but ended up tinkering with options like linear advance. The set up isn’t too hard, but you need vscode.

This list was really hard for my phone to view. It’s an older phone, so that’s probably why, but it kept freezing and reloading.

It made fairly big waves when it was released— mostly covered by cod influencers and the like. Their big selling point was “no sbmm”. I’ve thought about giving it a shot, since it can run on Linux under proton.

I’m excited to give it a shot when I get back to my desktop!

Her name is Link 😒

Which VCS do you use?

This is really good news, glad to have access to the Roblox library on Linux again. I’m curious to see how the graphics compare to the desktop version.

That said, Roblox is a scummy company that exploits users and developers, many of whom are children. Also, the chat filter and content moderation are poor, and they completely ignore the major predator issue the platform has. I don’t support the company itself.

That’s awesome! It’s really cool seeing low poly models realized.

It’s also just a great game with pretty graphics. Pretty short, though.

BeReal was cool, and the concept is still appealing to me and my circle.

The groups and the celebrity/brand accounts aren’t cool. And I can imagine them adding more garbage after this acquisition.

At the end of the day, capitalism gonna capitalize~

I don’t think there’s a separate build with Nvidia patches now (at least on the AUR), as they’re included/fixed upstream. Still plenty of config and environment variables to set on Nvidia. And the new Nvidia beta driver, 555, should fix flickering in xwayland windows that was caused by a lack of explicit sync support. It’s been working well for me so far!

Right up front two major issues with Linux:

1. No standard UI - it’s different on every system

2. No standard tools - you can’t rely on the same tools being on every machine

These seem like pretty fundamental traits, since Linux is only the kernel. I think a better way to compare other OSs to Linux would be comparing them to specific Linux distros, since those often do have standardized installs.

But there’s not really a great answer for which distro or distros should be used to represent the whole linux ecosystem… and that fragmentation has both pros and cons.

Like, I really love my Arch desktop, but it took lots of time to learn and configure. And it often breaks with updates— it’s not something most users would want. However, I get cutting-edge updates and features, and I have specialized my entire OS to best work for my workflows.

I currently use and love bluetuith! I hope you are able to secure funding and contributors, as this sounds like it could be a great development.

Got home, it’s working really well. Like, I’m super pleased!

VRR still needs testing on my system. I know that there’s yet to be a fix for multi-monitor VRR. I still need to test with a single monitor, though.

YOOO!!

I can’t wait to get home for this! I’m going to try to use VRR again too, see how it plays with that.
