Check out keyd, it’s very powerful.

The only thing I miss from Windows is Voicemeeter. God, I loved that thing. I miss it so much.

Handling the audio and adding what were once simple things like noise supression has been a really really shit experience.

SpiritFarer is an amazing deal if you haven’t played it yet. Super recommend it.

I finally bought Kingdom Hearts. The price is steep, let’s see if it pays off.

Why so you care so much about point 6? Feels like overkill.

I read a bit about it, seems great. I should probably give that one a go!

Are you playing the N64 version?

especially if you’re looking for a physical gift

Yep, it’s a git! :)

The short term goal is only to learn the absolute basics of programming. I only mentioned GIS to give some context on why I was narrowing down the language to python.

She’s familiar with all the keywords you mentioned as she already works in GIS, just not as a developer.

Looks great, thanks a bunch! EDIT: ordered it! :D

It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.

I use freerdp with Wayland, works OK.

You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.

I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.

I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?

I have tried the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 before and I can tell you it definitely helps. The game is unplayable without it, to be honest. The VRAM still fills up but it’s not instantly, it takes quite a while. Makes the problem manageable.

Edit: Several people have reported that this VRAM bug doesn’t happen on AMD cards. If you happen to have one, you might give it a try.

Unfortunately I do not. I bought this nvidia card long before I switched to Linux and boy, do I regret it.

I believe that config needs to be in the working directory context of the game, but maybe I’m misremembering that.

Yep, I tried that as well. I have the exact same file in /gamedrive//SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Diablo IV/

If upon starting your game, it immediately starts using 10GB of vid mem, then that is what is needed by the game to run. Setting this to 8GB is going to magically make it run by using less.

But the game does quickly fill 10GB with both low and ultra settings. It hints to me that the game doesn’t need 10GB to run. It just makes use of the available memory. My theory is that using 8GB would at least make my desktop usable. Currently, switching to my browser in the second monitor can break the game. If I never focus out of the game it doesn’t break.

• Problem occurs in both x11 and wayland
• Window vs fullscreen makes no difference
• ProtonDB has some additional flags, I tried them all
• I tried several proton versions from 8 to 9, GE and no GE. Made no difference

See if you can force a specific renderer that is more stable.

What are the available options? I haven’t tried this.

Thanks a bunch!

Very disappointing. They delayed the game for a few weeks and then for 5 months. How did anyone think the November date could be achieved?

Guess I’ll look for a community updated database for this year.

It’s a gigantic money sink, it’s going to be extremely hard to come up with a profitable (or break even) alternative.

The only one pretending mistakes can’t happen is the person I replied to. Mistakes definitely can happen and no programming language is fool proof.

Continuing my car analogy, would you rather drive a car with airbags and seatbelts or one without them? Of course you can still have a fatal accident, but it’s nice to have safety features that make it as unlikely as possible.

Every car has airbags if you drive well enough. Right?

Well if I only have time to play a game a month, I’m not gonna play a 6/10 game. I’m not saying to blindly trust metacritic but when you seldom play games you need to filter them aggressively somehow.
