Linux gayman thread

Trying to make VR work, hearing wayland and xwayland is better for vr than xorg which doesn't make any sense

the problem linux has the problem that development is spread out over 50 different projects that all try to solve the same problem but because they are so fragmented you just have 50 half-assed solutions to a problem
windows has a dedicated team all making 1 os 1 kernel 1 de and it is pretty much perfect
also the windows team is made up of actual professionals not some random guy in his bedroom lol

name 10

name a distro better than Arch + KDE
pro tip, you can't

i'm actually pretty surprised about how most things "just work" thanks to lutris.
except for sengoku rance though, i get slowdowns and glitchy text, any tips?

Lately I have been playing through Ultima 5 but have gotten a craving for strategy so later I will try Stronghold HD and Medieval 2 Total War.

You are in for one hell of a ride. The sheer amount of crazy shit people have made for that game is insane.

Why do I get higher performance with Wayland over Xorg? Nothing I do, including turning off the compositor, can make it match. Xorg actually matches what I get in Windows.

Game in question is Xonotic, and I am using Intel UHD 630.

26th for Vulkan Precompiling Shaders Fixing Elden Ring

This is what VMs are for

upgraded to ubuntu 22.04 and firefox got snap'd. honestly not that bad and even automatically migrated my profile. vaapi works and it uses the kde file picker. what I lost is kde plasma integration and saving to arbitrary system locations like /tmp.

couldn't for the life of me get vaapi working with the flatpak version.

Why the fuck do all the desktop shortcuts have that little symbol on them? Are they symbolic links or is that how the DE actually shows ".desktop" files on the desktop? Linux Mint just showing the icons without obstruction was one of the little things that I liked about switching away from Windows with its little arrow-corner shit on every icon as if I desperately need to be reminded at all times that my desktop icons aren't the actual executables.

steamos seems to put a decent effort at making the user experience seamless by making it as similar to windows as possible.

they're symbolic links to .desktops as opposed to the .desktops themselves. in some ways better, some ways worse (like your visual autism).

Are you using Linux as your daily driver?

I'm just gonna play at 60 fps, I guess.

not much of a vm guy

yeah. i go raw about every year into a different one

lol
Well okay, I do see how it might make sense to do that. If you already have a desktop entry for a program in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications (so that it populates the application menu), then creating a link to it in ~/Desktop is more efficient than having separate copy. But I just tried creating a symbolic link in ~/Desktop to a desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications on my own system, and the little icon in my case is even more egregious. Holy fuck it might be worse than the Windows one.

I stopped distrohopping once I started actually using Linux as my main OS.

Heh... gay...

I don't get distro hopping
Do you do it just to get a feel for something different or because you're tired of the same stuff after a year?

I mean, I use to do it monthly.

Pretty much, yeah. Looking for a complet fresh start and go to something a little different. I'm fighting the urge, but there's a strong part of me that wants to go back to Debian. But I also know I'm just going to go back to Fedora a year after that.

That icon is pretty big
Can't it be changed?

>Do you do it just for A, or for B
>Pretty much yeah.
that's not how you answer a question with 2 choices, retard.

Maybe. I'd rather just not use symbolic links though. If I really want to eliminate redundant copies of desktop files, then I could hard-link them instead.
If you're asking about the entire shortcut icon rather than the little arrow part, there are size settings. The arrow thing seems to scale with the rest of the shortcut though.

street status: DESIGNATED

That's your brain on distrohopping

Yeah I meant the shortcut icon
I have my icons extra sized but the symlink icon stays smol
arch kde btw

like all things linux, you could probably do it yourself.
>ls /usr/share/icons/*/*/*/*-symbolic-link.svg

Looks like I've got five size settings and I'm using the default middle one. It gives me ten rows so it's good enough. Some old games' icons do end up looking really shitty even at this size (like the Opposing Force icon which is, for some reason, inconsistent with those of the other Half-Life games), so I ended up replacing some icons (just not that one). The classic Doom games, for example, aren't really the GOG versions; I just grabbed the GOG icons because they're nice. And I had no icons for Fate of Atlantis, Sam & Max, Full Throttle, or The Dig so I just cropped cool bits of the box art for each (9000 hours in GIMP).

cool

>KDE

KDE is not a distro user

This is way too much aesthetic for me, I can't handle your powerlevel

so many arch + kde retards lately, you can just tell they're just bandwagoning because "steam deck uses arch and kde!!" and can't think for themselves. literal sheep.

Big fan of that one, altho when I last played the power up order was basically a binary order once you got a feel of the game and knew which pickups combined with what to evolve.

You've reminded me, is there a proton.db equivalent for visual novels and japanese games?

maybe appdb.winehq.org/
but a lot of entries can be really old compared to protondb stuff

>mint

As I explained, it's more or less both, you fucking kike.

i've been running that setup since 2012 dude

Just be sure you're changing the locale in your local shell so you can avoid that character gore.
