  • What Git clients do you use?

  • cli and meld for mergetool

  • Games no longer launching with same gamescope command

  • https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope

    might go through some of those troubleshooting steps and make sure you have drm kernel modeset.

    one other thing you might try (at end of the page) by setting LD_PRELOAD=”” with the command which can at least rule out features that sometimes break on certain games. I've had game recording and overlay cause similar issues and could only launch after disabling those in game settings.

    also might not need gamescope? mesa 25.1+ and proton 10+ have a lot of the features built in and I've not noticed much if any performance difference. now i only use gamescope if i run into issues and usually only if protondb shows consensus that you need to use gamescope or specific workarounds.

  • Squad even has imo the best Star Wars mod (Galactic Contention). just be aware it's a much slower pace than battlefield/Cod and heavily depends on teamwork

  • i never know what's expected on those type of captcha. if the handle bars of a bike go into an adjacent box and are 99% covered by a hand does that count? what do you do when you have a blurry image full of jpg artifacts and are asked to identify if it contains a fire hydrant. I'm pretty sure it usually classifies me as a bot for being too exact since I'm asked follow ups for a few minutes until i give up and just close the tab out of annoyance.

  • Gates made his money off monopolizing technology. You can find memos where he specifically leveraged his contacts with manufacturers to ignore specifications (which Microsoft helped specify) so FOSS like Linux wouldn't work properly.

    I truly believe in a world without Microsoft that todays software would be much safer, private and advanced by quite a few years.

    Gates only became a philanthropist after he married, there's probably a very good reason she left, even excluding the Epstein connections.

  • Linux Distros for Gaming: CachyOS is Taking over (ProtonDB data)

    Jump

  • yeah the flatpak version of gamescope is the latest version which is meant more to be used in something like lutris or directly with wine. my understanding is a bit hazy on the issue but i think flatpak steam or the Vulcan layers required a specific version or you get something about compatibility and the game would still launch but disable gamescope.

    i think the workaround was to install gamescope through pacman and then configure steam to be able to access it.

    Jump

  • flapak when i was using it on arch always had issues getting gamescope to run as the flapak version doesn't match the version in steam. with wine adopting support for native Wayland and improvements to Vulcan layers i think flapak version may start to get more popular. but for now the main limiter is, "do i need gamescope to play?"

  • Mouse recommendations

  • tried Razer, Logitech and they just never felt right. got a new zowie (za13-dw) and it felt smoother, good weight and sensors, also no need for extra drivers. they make different shapes for different grips and hand size so you can find what fits. honestly one of the best mice I've used, up there with my old mx518

  • Bazzite gets a new app store, newly supported devices, improved WiFi and more

    Jump

  • have been using bazzite for a while now and don't have issues with Firefox, could be tests Google are running. they recently are targeting users of adblockers and artificially setting high load times in hopes users disable them. a decent alternative is freetube (on flathub) which is anonymous so you can't login but you can import playlists and includes ad+sponsor block. they're pretty fast at fixing Google's attempts to break it too, sometimes you might have to change instances to get it working.

  • caches are never really a concern to me they will regen after the fact, from your description i would worry more about db, this is dependent though in what you're using and what you are storing. if the concern is having the same system intact then my primary concern would be backing up any config file you have. in cases of failure you mainly want to protect against data loss, if it takes time to regenerate cache/db that's time well spent for simplicity of actively maintaining your system

  • What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?

    Jump

  • fair point micromachines is finicky to play so it's good for teaching patience lol. although the mechanic will only give points if one player falls to far behind and goes off screen. when i was a kid my brothers and i would just explore the maps and played it more as we have to stay close enough to not lose. as an adult the game just becomes chase your kid, probably best to not play it seriously

  • in Windows you separate each drive by a letter like C:, D:, etc, however on Linux your drives are mounted as part of your folder structure. the top level is called root which would be / you can then mount each disc as a folder under root, so for example /home could be a separate hard drive but it's still mounted under root, note the starting slash. This means the command deletes any and all files+directories under root, this can include mounted USB, mounted network drives and anything mounted to your root. you're basically nuking all the files you can access when you're logged in as admin/root.
