  • As long as the price is right, this could be good. Maybe cheaper than the RTX 5050?

  • Pretty cool episode. I thought the dialog was a bit drawn out at times, the 2 main characters are a little over the top lol.

  • It's tough to think of use cases for this. But I have a Mastodon bot with auto delete enabled. It posts when Twitch streams start, so it's irrelevant by the time it gets auto deleted. I like to think I'm saving disk space for Fediverse admins.

  • From what I've seen, Fedora is like halfway to rolling. It's pretty cool for sure. I was also looking at Manjaro which is maybe similar but slightly more stable.

  • Oh, on the phone side KDE Connect has a checkbox for notifications from each app. Thanks for making me check lol

  • I thought Fedora KDE was not rolling? I would like to have known stable "checkpoints" as full releases. Kubuntu is good but some packages seem a bit older than I'd like.

    I've been primarily using Flatpaks on Kubuntu already. Otherwise AppImage or Snap. I'm mostly avoiding native installs aside from Steam and Chrome Beta

  • I put F-Droid on my Meta Quest 3 and then I didn't even need to use SideQuest anymore lol, I could just install a file manager and KDE Connect from F-Droid, transfer apk files remotely through KDE Connect and then install them using the file manager

  • Boost for Lemmy was huge for me.

    I've also been using KDE Connect, but I wish I could set filters/exclusions for notifications, because a lot of things I already get notifications on my computer for so when KDE Connect syncs the notification from my phone, that's a duplicate.

  • RIP, it's over. Back to Windows, everyone. /s

    Probably just a correction from the huge amount of people that tested Linux in the past couple of months. Or people who got new prebuilts/laptops for Christmas since those will mostly come preloaded with Win11.

    I think we'll see growth again in the next few months.

  • No, the 6000 series and higher use DDR4 RAM

    But I think the 4790k would be faster than the 7600k in most games (except for very old single threaded games which run fine on both anyways)

    4000 series can do AVX2 (same as the 7600k), so it has all the commonly required modern instructions

  • I'm getting 10~20 FPS regardless of graphic settings. I've also checked on my GPU and it maxes out at around 50% utilization so I'm guessing the processor is my limitation

    Yep that's a CPU bottleneck. 4790k will be a good improvement for sure. IDK if it's worth $100 but maybe, considering any other upgrade would require buying RAM.

  • This ALMOST works lol. The problem is the center of the game is off-screen, and the game tries to keep the mouse centered in its center, so my camera just spins like crazy lol

    Maybe I can fix this with some abuse of my multi monitor layout

  • I've been thinking of switching from Kubuntu to Fedora KDE

    I don't like rolling releases, I'd rather have point releases (like Ubuntu or Fedora), but Ubuntu is really far behind on a lot of packages

  • What if I switch to the Nouveau drivers? Deus Ex would probably still run well enough, so if they can do custom resolutions that could help

  • I did try this but I couldn't get it working with Flatpak OBS and native Steam. I even built it from source and added obs-gamecapture to the Steam game's launch command

  • That's true! I'll probably do that lol, thanks

  • that works but then it doesn't fit on my screen so I can't see what I'm doing in the game lol

  • ok I installed gamescope, and set my launch options (for Deus Ex)

    gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -b -- %command%

    It seems like it sorta works, Kentie's Launcher is big (like when I tried this in Bazzite's Gaming Mode), and the 3840x2160 resolution is an available option, but when I try to launch the game and Kentie's Launcher closes to launch the game, gamescope just dies and the game never starts

    EDIT: I have a workaround by just skipping the config dialog

    gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -W 2560 -H 1440 -b -- %command% -skipdialog

    But OBS is only capturing at 2560x1440, so this idea doesn't work
