redcalcium, to linux in GNOME 45 Alpha Is Now Available for Public Testing

I’m still waiting for proper fractional scaling in gnome’s wayland that won’t turn the screen into a blurry mess. I’m using gnome tweaks’ font size setting as a workaround for now, but it’s not ideal.

Shouldn’t be blurry if you run Wayland supported apps. For me only Jetbrains products are blurry since they use Java which doesn’t support fractional scaling.

I assume you enabled experimental fractional scaling in gnome?

redcalcium,

I’ll try again to see if the blur only happen on certain apps or all of them.

laxe, to linux in Firefox 116 Beta Brings Quick Actions in Address Bar, Improves Wayland Support

Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.

They added features that benefit power users and developers? I’m sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

Engywuck,

That’s likely a mistake that will be corrected before the stable release. /s

    nki,

    It’s something you can disable, and work is already been done to allow the user to further customize it.

    Silejonu, to linux in Firefox 115 ESR Is Here with Hardware Video Decoding for Intel GPUs on Linux

    Another cool new feature for Linux users in the Firefox 115 release is the ability to open links or search for text that has been copied on your clipboard by middle-clicking on the New Tab button. This is a productivity feature as you no longer have to open a new tab and paste the copied text or link you want to search/open.

    I have to remember to use it, it'll be incredibly useful.

    On,

    this honestly sounds awesome.

    Nvidia strikes again. :)

    Fantastic news! thanks

    beware NVIDIA tho:

    However, Valve notes the fact that enabling hardware acceleration on NVIDIA GPUs may cause X11 to crash. As such, hardware acceleration will be disabled by default for NVIDIA systems. In addition, Valve says that DPI scaling may not work correctly when hardware acceleration is disabled.

    RedBlackUnity, to linux in Firefox 113 Promises Support for Animated AV1 Images, Debian Package, and More
    @RedBlackUnity@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    Sick. I literally just switched from Ubuntu to Debian

    shreddy_scientist,
    @shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

    Just curious, what made you choose Debian over say Fedora or Arch option?

    RedBlackUnity,
    @RedBlackUnity@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    No great reason, really. I’ve tried Arch before and it needs a bit more manual administration than I prefer. The goal was to get off of Ubuntu and, having never used Fedora and Ubuntu being close to Debian, I just kind of went with what I’m more familiar with.

    AnonymousLemmy, to linux in Wine 8.0 Compatibility Layer Is Out Now for Running Windows Apps on Linux

    Nice, what new features does it have? Since proton is based off wine does that mean it will benefit proton as well?

    shreddy_scientist,
    @shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml avatar

    The article highlights some of the bigger upgrades include finalized PE format conversion, upgraded “Windows-like” WoW64 mode plus better Vulkan support. But Wine updating will still require Proton to make changes before these features are included I believe
