I have used Linux on and off for 15 years. I consider myself a casual user and stuck to the mainstream DEs (mostly KDE, XFCE and some Cinnamon).

Now that I have my new Oled, I’m wondering what would be good video settings for BG3. I can set the preset to ultra and it seems to offer no performance problem, but I wonder if vsync fsr2 etc should be set? How can I get the most amazing BG3 setup?
I know that Thunder can filter the posts but only limited. It only hides the currently loaded ones and only on button press. You need to do it over and over. Is there an app that does it automatically?
Strange, I thought that was a general Lemmy feature, as you can control that in the profile settings, which are shared between apps and web frontend. Jerboa and Liftoff do it. Only downside is that it also hides your own posts.

Looking for a good, not too difficult, single player FPS that gets right into the action without too many story requirements, and is a lot of fun, and is not Borderlands (because I have played them all). EDIT: Forgot to mention I am looking for PS4, XBOX One X, or XBOX Series X. Thanks!
Thanks to Jurassic Park it was the Velociraptor. But then I learned that their depiction was totally wrong. But then again my children taught me that they are even cool as murder chickens. So everything is well.
My kids have always been using Linux because that’s what I use on my gaming PC. When it was time for my eldest to get his own computer I tried to educate him on the differences between Linux and Windows (admittedly with my bias) and he chose Linux. I feel like wobbly windows played a big part in that.
He moans about some unsupported multiplayer games now and then and I have told him that we have a spare SSD he may use to install Windows. But so far his suffering wasn’t big enough to help me step him through that process.
We recently played a oneshot on Owlbear Rodeo instead of our usual Foundry or Roll20 and I much preferred the simpler Owlbear experience. With the others it was usually a question of “how do I do this with this VTT” and with Owlbear everyone managed their character on their own and we could just play. And I think it gave the DM more confidence to do theatre of the mind when something wasn’t prepared.
I think the original comentor was bemoaning that Valve isn’t keeping anyone from installing SteamOS on their device. There are already enough community projects to jump off of.
Anyways, this probably depends on the application. You’d have to find out if there is a command line option in the application to start it minimised or in tray.
I need to upgrade my laptop and one of the things I’m looking for is repairability/upgradability. I’ve been told thinkpads are good in this respect, how true is that? In terms of replacing batteries and memory, at least. I’m also looking at the frameworks, but those black friday deals are looking alright at lenovo....
I have a T580 with nVidia graphics. Repairability is great. You can find a manual with step-by-step instructions for every part online.
But the thermals in that thing are awful. Especially on Linux and doubly so with the GPU. It has some stupid on-lap detection which heavily throttles the system to not burn the user. Up until a few years ago there wasn’t a driver for Linux so it always defaulted to on-lap-mode. But even worse, the GPU has some hardcoded 70° limit and it throttles down to the lowest clockrate when it reaches that. And it reaches that quickly because CPU and GPU share a heatpipe.
Nowadays I just run it on the integrated Intel graphics on Wayland and it’s great. But it would be cool if I could use the GPU that is at least theoretically able to run Doom 2016 at 30 fps. But practically it struggles with Quake 3.
It’s just a shame that you probably won’t know about these kinds of problems on a new laptop because people only notice them after a few months to years.
If signal gets the new username feature, this just might be what i do, so fricking tired of people just blindly giving random apps and websites their contact permissions and they get my contact as well, and there’s nothing i can do about it
Hasn’t it been a year since the first level was released? This is going to take a long time if they intend to make the whole game. And manage to dodge Disney’s lawyers until then.
Was just now looking for a car repair shop near me. Searching for “Werkstatt Northeim” in DDG gave me stupid non-working address scrapers. And the map on DDG gave me four results all over the place and no way to get more. Google gave me a neat list with addresses and telephone numbers.
Google is getting worse and worse each day. But somehow it still usually gives me better results than DDG.
You’re supposed to use distilled water which is not conductive. At least that used to be the case last I saw liquid cooling.
In the end it’s simply not worth it for me. You still need to radiate the heat out, which usually means a big fan, which most air coolers nowadays have anyways.
I once built a home theatre PC that was completely passively cooled. The case was basically the entire heat sink. It got the heat from the CPU through heatpipes. Unfortunately the shitty motherboard died due to unreleased reasons and since then I didn’t have the time or money to revive it.
The cases aren’t even built anymore. No idea why, it was really cool.
My brother had acquired a pirated copy for me. But the videos and dialogues had been stripped out to save space. He was gushing about how your footsteps would make different sounds on different floor types, but I already knew that from Jedi Knight. So I really didn’t get what the fuzz was about.
Don’t know how much time later I got a full copy and completely fell in love. It’s one of my all time favourite games. The atmosphere is the best. And the different footstep sounds actually serve a gameplay purpose.
I’m sure this has been asked, but is there a way to lock specific games onto my home? I want to keep games I usually play there and hide things I either don’t, or that I tested once and opted not to keep playing. Using the “hide” option feels a bit too aggressive for that since I’m happy with them being in my library,...
Not really. I mean you could boot into some other frontend that would support this. But at that point I guess the effort far outweighs the benefits.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even bother with hiding the games. Sounds tedious. The games you played last appear at the front by themselves. So as soon as you start your favourite games they will all be at the front. And if you don’t do that so often, maybe they aren’t your “real” favourites. At least for the moment.
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
Teleportation every time. It’s just too useful. Invisibility is really only useful for mischief and security. And both can also be done with teleportation.
Which reminds me, what did we get for the 25th anniversary of Unreal, another super important game from 1998 whose engine nowadays even powers movie production?
I already have heared about Bottles sandboxing capabilities, but, how this differs from standard Flatpak sandboxing system? Is really secure execute any Windows Software using Bottles? (yes, every machine have his vulnerabilities blah blah)
No, not at all. Bottles just helps you setting up different environments for running programs with Wine. They are not sandboxed in any way. The only thing they do is tell Wine “use this folder as the Windows-C-Drive”. And by default the whole root system is exposed as Z to the Wine environment (with the usual Linux permissions). And even if the root drive were not exposed there are not any mechanisms in Wine to prevent a malware from gaining access.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even trust them. If the malware’s goal is to get into your local network it will have achieved that on a virtual machine. And as far as I know there have also been ways to break out of a virtual machine. Probably fixed by now, but who knows what else lurks there.
In the Networkmanager you can set that a connection is either available to all users or just yourself. If you set it to “all users” its configuration will be saved somewhere in /etc/Networkmanager (I’m too lazy to look up the real path) and will therefore be available for Networkmanager on boot. If you just make it available for yourself Networkmanager will only attempt to connect after you log in.
I think the default is to make it only available to yourself, because then you don’t have to enter your sudo password when you set it up or want to change something. The downside is of course what you describe in your post.
