  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • What's the problem?

    Played Wilds on launch and had pretty much no issues other than the game freezing for a second or two every hour or so.

    On the other hand, my friend on Windows would crash from time to time, which I didn't experience.

    Although it should be noted that neither Wilds nor Dragon's Dogma are technological marvels. They run bad everywhere.

  • Those who've switched to Linux in the last year, how is it going?

    Jump

  • Cheat Engine is a thing on Linux!

    Game Conqueror is bundled for a lot of distros but PINCE is my favorite.

  • but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

    What's your desktop environment? On KDE you can just enter smb://serverhost/path in the Dolphin navigation bar and it will open it.

  • What about HDR?

    Jump

  • If you're on KDE, you can use the "sRGB color intensity" to quickly test if your content (e.g. via mpv or Proton) is really in HDR.

    If the content changes while going from minimum to maximum in "sRGB color intensity", it's SDR, if it does not change, it's HDR.

    I also have an OLED monitor and HDR looks fantastic on KDE.

  • Netblocks: Update: #Iran has now been offline for 96 hours, limiting reporting and accountability over civilian deaths as Iranians protest and demand change; fixed-line internet, mobile data and calls

    Jump

  • Indeed. Connections to my Tor bridge dropped by 80% when Iran disconnected.

  • Too sloop to get it

  • I'm 100% using the KDE Connect gyro mouse the next time we play Gartic Phone.

  • Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure

    Jump

  • I bought a used Tesla model 3 just before Elon started donating to the GOP and I'm going to disconnect the WiFi and 5G antennas this weekend

    If it's old enough you can even strip out the entire connectivity module or the physical SIM.

  • Fedora 44 Will Be the First Distro to Adopt KDE's Plasma Login Manager

    Jump

  • The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228

    I don't really have this problem anymore since I got rid of my projector which advertised a resolution it couldn't handle. Had to login into the void since the login screen never showed up. Looks like this might be fixable nowadays.

    The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.

    The locale is set to American English but the time format is set to German, something the lock screen can handle but SDDM cannot. I also tried applying the Plasma settings to SDDM a few times but it doesn't really change anything.

  • It always chooses the default highest resolution, (which may not work on some devices with faulty EDID), does not respect the Wayland/X11 choice, has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop and does not support 24h clocks.

    Just to name a few.

  • Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

  • How drunk are these guys?

    Ask the dude that renamed Twitter to X (formerly Twitter).

  • 39C3 talk about FEX: Breaking architecture barriers: Running x86 games and apps on ARM

    Jump

  • So far I liked:

    Zentrum für Politische Schönheit (German protest group) recap: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-zps-ein-jahr-adenauer-srp-und-mehr

    Still have a few more on the to-do list (including the one from this post).

  • GTA Radio 📻

    Jump

  • A tech bro radio station, filled to the brim with AI songs actually sounds like a very GTA thing to do.

  • 39C3 talk about FEX: Breaking architecture barriers: Running x86 games and apps on ARM

    Jump

  • CCC is really cooking this year. So many great talks.

  • How Hackers Breached the Great Firewall of China (39C3)

    Jump

  • Same, still got the devkit 1 and 2 in my cellar.

    Really looking forward to the Steam Frame to finally get standalone VR without Meta involvement.

  • The beginner of tutorial hell

    Jump

  • Really? I did a 365 day streak in Japanese (and most of that time was spent learning Hiragana and Katakana) but I still had some basic phrases down at the end.

    Kanji broke me in the end though, Duolingo really doesn't do it well.

  • Valve is stopping production of LCD Steam Deck models, once sold out they will be gone forever

    Jump

  • Phones usually don't do pixel shifting since they lack the extra pixels on the edge to shift the content around.

  • Pixel shifting is done entirely on the monitors firmware nowadays, no OS intervention necessary.
