merthyr1831, to linux in Poll: GUI framework for widgets/apps in Wayland

Flutter gang rise up (though technically it’s just hijacking a GTK window)

merthyr1831, to linux in Announcing Brise theme

These are some good tweaks! Personally, especially the smaller changes like uniform sizes for controls, would be worth taking up with the KDE community because they might consider merging them into breeze proper. Unless it doesn’t work like that for theming of course!

merthyr1831, to fediverse in The instances blocking Zuckerberg's Threads.net

The XMPP article was good, thanks!

merthyr1831, to fediverse in The instances blocking Zuckerberg's Threads.net

Good. On one hand it’s good to see fediverse stuff coming mainstream, on the other hand the last thing we want is a load of celebrities and brands trying to cannibalise said fediverse as an opportunity to corner the market instead of genuinely useful resources for communication

merthyr1831, to opensource in AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3) is now open source

Looking forward to this coming to Godot. Personally unlikely to ever need it but there are some impressive projects going on in godot right now that could use it!

merthyr1831, to linux in December Updates: The Spirit of COSMIC

The text editor that’ll be coming with Cosmic looks pretty slick! I’ve got a loooong way to go with learning rust so maybe I’ll take a look at the iced/pop libraries when Cosmic comes out 👀

merthyr1831, to linux_gaming in Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite

no idea. As far as I know it’s never worked on linux

merthyr1831, to linux_gaming in Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney was asked by Verge why there is no support for the Steam Deck for Fortnite

Sweeney is just being diplomatic here. I dont think he ever wants to support Linux

merthyr1831, to linux in Integrity and config errors Ubuntu

the gpio one could also just be the BIOS being whacky. I think I have the same one show up on my Acer laptop and I’ve never had an issue.

merthyr1831, to linux in Integrity and config errors Ubuntu

Secure boot uses them

merthyr1831, to linux in Integrity and config errors Ubuntu

yup. and it’s usually on laptops that run less standard bios setups that aren’t easily flashed anyway

merthyr1831, to linux in Integrity and config errors Ubuntu

It’s a thing with certain laptops, where their secure boot certs are outdated or something. Not really anything you can do to fix, but it doesnt mean anything in practice - I never had issues with it after running linux across multiple distros about a year on my Acer nitro 5.

only thing you might have issues with is using secure boot in certain distros but if you don’t have problems then no need to worry

merthyr1831, to opensource in Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps

his last comment before closing the thread suggests that “99%” of the code is controlled by him and other paid contributors. still seems like you’d have to manually contact the last 1% to relicense their code.

merthyr1831, to steamdeck in Steam Deck OLED Is the Battery King

I was gonna say “turns out adding a larger battery makes your device last longer, who knew!” but that discounts the fact that the OLED screen and smaller soc also help quite a bit.

If I remember right, the newer SoCs, especially on the newer Zen 3 core, are not that much more power efficient until they’re being pushed to their limits. When the cpu isnt the bottleneck the two cores are similar.

merthyr1831, to linux in An open-source, cross-platform terminal for seamless workflows

Not that I dont dislike electron anyway, but I’d hazard a guess that most of the jank we see in electron apps is more to do with javascript and overengineered web UI frameworks than the browser runtime. If it runs like shit in a browser then it wont be much better ported to electron.
