Honestly, considering how much of a meme Trump’s presidency seemed to be (at least as an Australian that’s what it appeared to be - I wouldn’t be surprised if people voted for him for the meme at the time), having someone named “literally anybody else” on the ballot seems like a great way to get votes if only for the meme.

Interesting, if it’s a native Wayland app, I’d guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.

I’d think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.

Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?

X11 Doesn’t support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You’ll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.

The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.

2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)

The world shall be… Rusty.

At least untill someone sneaks a tab in your spaced code, and you don’t know how to make your code editor show the difference, or it doesn’t support showing the difference.

Ever wanted to be somewhere inbetween java and JavaScript?

Yeah, that’s Groovy. Only it’s the wrong groove

Doesn’t mean it won’t either - most people won’t realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they’ll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it’s out of support. (And when they do, it’s “how can I get rid of this annoying error” not “how can I update this?” - they probably didn’t even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won’t like it if you do)

Hell most people don’t even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn’t even tell me what their operating system name is.

I’ve had relatives that try to ask what’s going on and say “I have 11” without elaborating that it’s windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.

It’s hypr-chan!

Honestly I would love to see a webcomic about hypr-chan, I wonder what the significance of all the Holo cat. And that bus looks super sci-fi, she must be riding the hypr-loop

I finally switched to AMD on my main desktop. Holy crap does it just work. I went straight for hyprland over my previous XFCE based desktop.

I enjoy tinkering so having some programs that just work and some that need a little push is great for me. Gaming is pretty easy these days - games that straight up don’t run I just don’t buy, and protonDB or even the proton issue tracker and wineDB for tips and tricks.

However with DEs I tend to set one up, and keep it how I set it up. I had XFCE for a total of 3 years with no changes. Hopefully I can do the same with Hyprland. I usually only try a new one when reinstalling Linux.

In a same but more drastic vein, you’d have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it’s bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain’t installing win11 there untill I’m forced to)

Wow, I don’t think presidents are supposed to hurt anybody. Ffs. Need to some how change American political culture to be a little less fucked. Greed, party bashing, and warmongering need to be far less prevalent.

Wow, you know these politicians are fucked when they refuse to make life better for people simply because it would boost the reputation of someone they are against. Talk about skewed priorities.

Politicians aren’t good at understanding that they should be there to do the right thing regardless of consequences anymore.

Even in my home country they haven’t done a true “screw the consequences, I’m doing what’s right” since they introduced gun control in 1996.

What a fucked up world we live in.

The worst of these is Bluetooth. I bought a USB dongle with a chipset said to be compatible.(CSR 8510 A10) Then I found it was a knockoff version of the chipset with some weird ass quirks that make it incompatible with the official drivers. To this day it’s the one thing I never bothered to try and fix, even though others have succeeded in making the fix. The fix wasn’t something I could easily turn into a DKMS module as I have no idea how to do that, and as a result it had to be compile with the kernel manually and I want ready to go diving into kernel and at the same time also trying to work out exactly what the quirks were.

I eventually bought a dongle with a chipset that worked was either not a knockoff or it was a perfect reproduction. It worked flawlessly, and I’ve bought more since then for PCs with no Bluetooth support.

Some games proton might not be enabled by default - on Linux go into the steam game settings for the game you want, click the compatibility page, and check the box “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”, select the version - if one doesn’t work, try another - proton 8 is a good start, proton experimental is usually a good second option. Wait for steam to download proton if it hasn’t already, and the game should now play like normal

Note: some games might require additional configuration, or custom versions of proton to work. Other games won’t work due to anticheat.

https://www.ProtonDB.com is a good option to check on games and see how to get the more complicated ones running.

https://Areweanticheatyet.com is a good way to see what games that have anticheat will work and what won’t work.

For non steam games running proton try installing the heroic games launcher - it’s like a combined launcher for Epic, Gog and Amazon Games.

That’s not usually the problem. Usually you can generally do this on any distro, even ones that have a higher level of integration with their DE.

The problem is more likely to be issues caused by overlapping configurations and base libraries that can cause weird issues if they aren’t swapped out or kept default. If they aren’t default and are managed by the package manager, usually the package manager will mark it as modified and often won’t touch it unless you purge the configurations. Some will ask and some will straight up nuke em.

Most are out of touch with reality, the rest aren’t dumb, but are completely corrupt and seek to take advantage of a trump government to give themselves more power. They know how Trump and the republicans is, what he’s trying to do, but the truth is it will benefit them and that’s all that matters.

Fork it on a different platform - GitLab or something like it - we really should diversify our code repos. Microsoft has too much power with GitHub

Android or some other Linux based os on iPhone hardware anyone?

The question is, what brand? Duracell?, Eveready?, Energizer?

Oh my pkcell…

Nor the cash to increase the bandwidth capacity to do so.
