atmur,

I had a similar issue, it ended up being a hardware problem (my SAS expander specifically). Make sure everything connecting your drives is working correctly.

atmur,

I’ve listened through it 3 times now, it’s amazing.

atmur,

Yep. From the North Sentinel Island wikipedia page:

The islanders have been observed shooting arrows at boats, as well as at **low-flying helicopters. **

If they’re shooting at a helicopter, I don’t think they’ll think about a bunch of drones any differently.

GTX 750 ti

This GPU is right on the edge of what DXVK supports. Kepler (600/700 series) isn’t supported past 1.10.3, but the 750 ti happens to be a super early Maxwell card. Might be worth trying proton 7.0 to see if that makes a difference anyway, since that version uses DXVK 1.10.3.

atmur,

atmur,

It feels like most Lemmy/Kbin communities skew towards having a lot of CS people. Makes sense considering what kind of people would be interested in using the fediverse over traditional social media sites though.

I love all you fellow nerds <3

atmur,

This is one thing I really like about Flatpak, never having to worry about missing or broken dependencies. Totally worth the bigger install size imo.

One thing to note if you go this route OP: If you use Steam Input, you’ll also need to install the steam-devices package (game-devices-udev on Arch), or setup udev rules manually. Flatpak still doesn’t let apps do this automatically as far as I’m aware, but it’s smooth sailing aside from that.

atmur,

Navidrome’s smart playlists can do some of this. You’re basically building filters for songs to be added to a playlist automatically though, it’s not as “smart” as Spotify.

atmur,

I was a super early adopter of Jellyfin because Plex was going to shit. It’s amazing to see how much it’s grown in just a few years.

atmur,

Time to build a scream-resistant SSD server

The firm is also in talks with a “known company” for a potential sale of its NASCAR license.

I’m guessing it’s Kylotonn. They just lost the WRC license and are nearing the end of Test Drive Solar Crown development. They need a franchise they can push out every year.

Another possibility is EA, because they love their yearly releases and have an abundance of racing game developers right now (Codemasters, Slightly Mad Studios, Evolution (or what’s left of them), Criterion, Firemonkeys).

atmur,

They also own Studio 397 and rFactor 2, which has had its fair share of shitshows as well (before and after the acquisition).

atmur,

Ah, I didn’t think about iRacing. Yeah, that’s a super strong possibility.

I can’t wait for this album. No Geography was a masterpiece.

atmur,

it would be a distro recommendation discussion with out at least some disagreement

I would be disappointed if there wasn’t, lol

I actually put quite a bit of thought into how I wanted to go over forks/downstream distros, and I may have come to a weird conclusion but I decided discouraging them was the best option because:

  1. Distros like Manjaro/EndeavourOS are being described as “beginner friendly” when beginners should not be starting with anything Arch based. Listing out individual bad examples would just make the entire message more confusing.
  2. People will always google their question in the format of “distro name” + “problem”. Someone with Linux experience using KDE Neon will know to google “ubuntu problem” because it’s just Ubuntu, but a beginner will google “kde neon problem” and will find very few results. Alternatively, if they’re using an upstream distro, that search will (probably) return lots of thorough results with more information on why exactly that problem occurred.
  3. Upstream is (generally) less likely to break than downstream, although this shouldn’t be an issue for well managed downstream distros. But again, listing specific examples will make things more confusing.

Regarding Linux Mint and Wayland, I completely agree. I didn’t know that Cinnamon/Mint still didn’t support Wayland, so that should’ve moved Mint into the tentative recommendation category.

atmur,

Yeah, something like “Update Promptness” does fit better now that you mention it. I wrote “frequency” and never thought about it until now.

If it weren’t for Snaps, I would’ve had the warning and still recommended Ubuntu. It’s been a couple months since I last used Ubuntu, so maybe this has improved, but the opening times for Snap applications is brutal. Firefox taking forever to load? Install Flatpak, add the Flathub repo, uninstall the Firefox Snap, install the Firefox Flatpak. I just can’t call Ubuntu beginner friendly if they’re pushing Snaps like this while refusing to support Flatpak out of the box.

atmur,

I already had the AVR, and sometimes my setup includes an Xbox 360 so I’ll use it as an HDMI switch as well. If I ever buy a TV again, I’ll move the AVR to that then buy a Rekkr and another set of speakers for the desk.

atmur,

This is correct, just vanilla Gnome.

atmur,

I actually really like keeping the dock out of the way in the activities view, I’m not a fan of Windows/MacOS style taskbars/docks on the desktop.

Blur my shell is nice, but it doesn’t work properly on multi-monitor setups in Gnome 44 at the moment (there’s an open github issue about it). I definitely plan on reinstalling it once that’s resolved.

Gsconnect looks cool, I’ll check that out.

I genuinely really like stock gnome. The one thing it’s missing for me is corner/quarter tiling support. There are extensions for it, but they break other stuff like applications resizing together when side by side.
