opular, in Fedora Workstation 39 and beyond | Christian F.K. Schaller

I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time tunnel rush.

chemicalwonka, in Are Epson Ecotank printer/scanners Linux-friendly

I have an Epson L1350 and I installed Epson’s proprietary drivers without any problems on my Debian. I think Epson is much more Linux friendly than HP

Check if the printer is Mopria or AirPrint certified. If it is, then it doesn’t need any print drivers and will work fine.

I have one and it mostly works fine out of the box. It’s been a while since I set it up but I think I used the Linux CUPS driver. I had one time where it printed raw postscript but I haven’t had that happen since.

AAA, in Inkscape 1.3.1 Released with More Than 70 Bug Fixes and Two New Features

One of the softwares I really want to love but am too stupid to even get the basics right.

See you next time when I miserably fail to use you, Inkscape.

I remember fondly using I some years ago. Glad to hear it’s still going strong.

isthereanydeal, in Ultrawide on Linux: can you tell a game to take up only the "middle"?

I don’t recomend Ultrawide Displays for gaming on linux. Get it and you,LL SUFFER (spoky voice)… The EDID of my UW display (predator) is horrible … like… uw 1440p or 768p and nothing in between…

Tbh theres have been a couple of years since the last time I tried and people says that gamescope does the trick but I didn’t tried… but believe me that It was a real pain in the passt to avoid res stretching.

Clearwater, in Ultrawide on Linux: can you tell a game to take up only the "middle"?

As the others said, windowed mode at your desired resolution, fullscreen at your desired resolution, or if neither work, gamescope.

Gamescope will make the game believe the display is a particular resolution and force it to run that way regardless of the actual hardware.

Sounds like a job for gamescope.

Doing this in reverse all the time. Stretching games on my triple head setup to full size. It’s the same principle. If the game doesn’t offer it kill it with gamescope, Wine virtual desktop or if nothing helps a completely virtual display that overlays your current:

For some editing the config files directly works wonders. Looking at you Unity!

AProfessional, in Ultrawide on Linux: can you tell a game to take up only the "middle"?

Just set the game to full screen 2560x1440. The monitor does the right thing.

isthereanydeal,

No it won’t. Source: me suffering during years gaming on Linux on UW display.

AProfessional,

Works for me. I have a Dell UW.

isthereanydeal,

What are your EDID resolutions? Is there real display scaling available ? Mine Takes the whole monitor no matter what. Maybe yours was designed by a sane engineer.

Quazatron, in Will there be a thunderbird lemmy client?
@Quazatron@lemmy.world avatar

There are already some Lemmy/Mastodon clients for Linux. I don’t really think Thunderbird is a good fit for this use case.

If you want to read (not reply) your Lemmy feed in Thunderbird you can simply use the built in RSS feed reader.

I honestly don’t see the harm in integrating it since matrix is already in there and lemmy/masto have a similar structute to email anyway. And having all communication in one app is pretty cool imo.

Thanks for the tipp with rss though. I didn’t know.

raevn,

I had no idea Thunderbird integrated with Matrix… could be a nice place to integrate everything together

Exactly my thoughts. :)

nilclass, in Trying to get linphone to work properly...

is that because it’s self hosted?

Correct. It’s important to differentiate “gitlab” the software from “gitlab.com” the hosted service. An account is local to one instance, gitlab is not a federated system. “gitlab.com” is one instance running the “gitlab” software. You will have to sign up on each instance to interact with it. Some instances support third party identity providers, so the signup can be delegated to gitlab.com, or github or whatever else is supported. You still have to “sign up” to each instance though.

Thanks for elaborating. That was very helpful. :)

rufus,

Thanks for linking this.

sebsch, (edited ) in Hyprland is a toxic community

I mean. You install it and the first you see is a picture of a child in a sexual context dressed with an oversized boyfriend shirt and naked legs.

Having nothing against young people having “sexy” mangas as wallpaper but for a fresh installed DE it’s at least for me a sign to not use the software at all.

The phrases in the docs about how bad sway is, just completed the picture.

rufus,

Idk. But it’s not a picture, it’s a drawing. I agree you typically don’t have backgrounds with manga girls in a professional context. I’m not a pro when it gets to pop culture, but I think it’s pretty tame. Every anime girl looks about that age (say school-girl). And they all have large colorful eyes. This one is wearing a boyfriend-style shirt. I don’t think it’s any more ‘sexual’ or ‘child’ than sailor moon or any of the tv series out there.
