  • Wayland, Switching between & focusing windows with just hotkeys?

    Jump

  • So this is not exactly what you want, but have you seen the rofi -show window feature? There's no preview of the window, but it does display the title even if the window is not on the current workspace.

  • WSL uses

    Jump

  • I have nothing really to add, but just want to say thanks for making watchfaces!

  • PSA: Don't use nextcloud's auto upload on the android app as a backup

    Jump

  • Nextcloud logs me out whenever I restart

    Jump

  • key ring

    I had a similar problem a long time ago on a new laptop and this is what it was for me. I didn't have a keyring provider that the nextcloud client could use, so it would get a token when I entered the password, but couldn't store it so it would be only in memory and vanish every time I disconnected.

  • Wayland started to degrade on CachyOS?

    Jump

  • This. I had symptoms extremely similar to OPs and saw this in the kernel logs immediately before the system would reset:

     
        
[    0.705185] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
[    0.705187] mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 17: Machine Check: 0 Bank 5: baa0000000090150
[    0.705190] fbcon: Taking over console
[    0.705191] mce: [Hardware Error]: TSC 0 MISC d012000200000000 SYND 4d000020 IPID 500b000000000
[    0.705195] mce: [Hardware Error]: PROCESSOR 2:a20f12 TIME 1678252812 SOCKET 0 APIC 3 microcode a20120a

    It turned out to be a hardware issue with my CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X). I got it replaced under warranty (twice actually, the first replacement had other issues) and everything is fine now. Definitely check what the kernel logs say.

    You can look at the previous kernel log from before a reboot with journalctl -k -b -1 (as root)

  • Any software good for making this kind of mechanical animation/simulation?

    Jump

  • You can do it just in the sketcher and get 90% of the way there with just sketcher constraints. You can also create a body with a subshape binder for each sketch line and use assembly and create an animation. You don't even need 3d solids. I created a gif, we'll see if it attaches properly to this reply...

  • Games no longer launching with same gamescope command

    Jump

  • I see you made a comment in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/issues/1913 . Did you try vkcube like someone earlier in that issue? And the other workarounds like --expose-wayland?

    Also what version of gamescope? And you don't happen to be running steam as a flatpak do you?

    EDIT: they JUST released a new version https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope/compare/3.16.14...3.16.15 . So if you are having issues downgrading might be worth a try, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issues you are having.

    Also, I know it sounds weird for a linux machine, but update and restart just to rule anything weird out. I've had steam and steam related applications leave around weird state, processes, etc. before and restarting is an easy way to clear that all out and start fresh, eliminating variables.

    Looking for an FPS with active community servers

    Jump

  • Quake3 and Overload (only sortof FPS) are the ones I play. Both have plenty of community servers and also community games. And both have linux native versions that run without wine. I'm by no means an expert in this area nor do I have a vast knowledge of what people play these days. Just sharing what I like.

  • Alright, who has the best info for using racing wheels on linux?

    Jump

  • universal-pidff is working on support for many wheels. I believe they are also working on upstreaming.

    Thrustmaster hid-tmff2 is a module that supports some common belt drive wheels. (I had a t300 but upgraded, see below)

    OpenFFBoard is fully supported without any extra drivers/modules in Linux. Even the configurator is just python+qt and works fine (This is the wheel I use).

    Running the drivers in wine won't work, or at least there is no benifit that I've seen. Oversteer provides some udev rules which improve logitech support, you should install that and reboot even if you don't plan to use it. The udev rules initialize the wheel correctly, set permissions on the sysfs components, etc. AFAIK the Logitech Driving Force GT is fully supported by the in-tree logitec driver link. Can you post more details about the issues you are having, maybe with screenshots?

    EDIT: I forgot that oversteer recommends using new-lg4ff for most logi wheels. So definitely give that a try as others said.

    Lastly there's sim community https://infosec.pub/c/diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de (the creator of openffboard is the mod of that community) if you're interested. It doesn't see that much action but there's a little here and there.

  • NTSYNC driver for improving Windows games on Linux with Wine / Proton should finally land in Linux kernel 6.14

    Jump

  • That Dirt 3 performance improvement though...

     
        
Game 	Upstream 	ntsync 	improvement
Dirt 3 	110.6 	        860.7 	678%

    Might have to go dust off that game just to experience the speed

  • Lenovo Legion Go S official: $499 buys the first authorized third-party SteamOS handheld

    Jump

  • wow... I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it but a trackpoint in thumb's reach on a steamdeck-like device is a great idea. And good marketing continuity for Lenovo

  • What do I need to know about trouble shooting windows games on linux?

    Jump

  • In addition to everything everyone else has said, the launch option: PROTON_LOG=1 %command% (from the wiki). It will create a steam-<gameid>.log in your homedir which can have lots of good wine/proton specific information in it.

    You can also rename the user-settings.sample.py file in a given proton version in $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton - <version>/ to user-settings.py and uncomment the additional wine debugging options (PROTON_LOG is already set in this file, but it is not active until it's renamed or passed directly on the Launch Options line).

  • Could anyone recommend me a self-hosteable TinkerCAD equivalent?

    Jump

  • Someone posted this https://webvm.io/alpine.html in another community and it made me think of this post. I've never used webvm and I suspect there are many downsides but seemed relevant and the demo seems to be able to run a full desktop environment. You have to find a CAD software that supports Linux though which is a controversial topic at best.

  • Could anyone recommend me a self-hosteable TinkerCAD equivalent?

    Jump

  • There is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project.

    Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.

  • Recommendation for webcam that doesn't push its software?

    Jump

  • Yeah I think it probably is. Streaming output from it causes the infrared LED to flash rapidly and the image isn't coming from the main lens, it's the smaller lens right next to it.

  • Question: self-hosted instant messanger.

    Jump

  • The really hilarious thing to me is that the NextPush app (unified push provider that can be run on your nextcloud server) is unsupported by nextcloud talk. But it is supported by a bunch of other competing applications.

  • Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages

    Jump

  • This probably won't help with EA and the like adding kernel-level anti-cheat 6 months after release....

  • Using a ps4 controller over bluetooth [solved]

    Jump

  • works for me both on my archlinux machine and my steamdeck with steam and non-steam games. I've even played NFSU2 with it =] . I don't think it required any more configuration than just pairing for me, no special drivers or tools. Maybe it needs a firmware update (I don't know if that's a thing, just a thought)?

  • Anybody know how to get lossless audio on linux?

    Jump

  • the qobuz webapp is hi-res too, I just use it in Firefox and my dac reports the same bit/sample rate that qobuz does. AFAIK there's no compression there though I haven't extensively verified that, only that the end result is 24bit/192kHz if that's what qobuz says is playing.

    EDIT: Also, qobuz is nice because there's very few things you can click on in the web interface which cause the music to stop playing. I really appreciate that feature.... looking at you bandcamp....
