myersguy,

Avalonia and Uno Platform if you are working with C#

myersguy,

Been playing through Stardew. The wiki is a godsend

myersguy,

Honestly, I enjoy the humorous colour names.

myersguy,

Average FPS in the benchmarks I’m looking at seem to be 30-35, with 1% lows around 25. Sounds pretty standard for many console games. Especially handheld (switch Zelda games run at 30fps with huge dips, no?)

myersguy,

1% lows below 30 is what I call unplayable. Consistent 30 is my absolute minimum.

That’s fine for you to feel that way. I’m just saying that Tears of the Kingdom was Exceptionally well received, despite it running around 30fps with huge dips in performance during some gameplay. It is evident that some gamers (perhaps console/mobile gamers more so) are less sensitive to lower frame rates and dips in performance.

In fact, 1% lows below 30 would disqualify almost any other game from even being rated playable by valve. But having cyberpunk run on the steam deck when it doesn’t run on a PS4 is a good sales pitch, so it’s clear why they verified it.

Their verification page seems to show what they are looking for. I don’t think mediocre frame rates stop a game from being verified.

myersguy,

Most people want stability (low change) for servers. Arch is typically run where plentiful software updates are welcome. It’s not that you can’t/shouldn’t use Arch for servers, but it isn’t the most conventional suggestion.

myersguy,

MySQL (and by extension, MariaDB) has an even better option:

mysql --i-am-a-dummy

myersguy,

How are you installing your Nvidia drivers? Are all of your packages from stable?

myersguy,

Arch, Fedora, and Debian. Think I’m going to start phasing out Fedora though.

myersguy,

Not particularly interested in Studio One, but I really hope this trend of production companies supporting Linux continues. Would love for NI to follow suit one day (at least with Native Access)

myersguy,

Without an explanation, this comment looks more stupid. Why is their example bad?

myersguy,

I respect the fuck out of Brolund. He was giving press conferences between firefighting shifts, while also himself being evacuated.

myersguy,

He literally explained why he doesn’t use Firefox.

myersguy,

Not sure how this thing will compete when there are mini PC’s like the Beelink SER7 out there.

myersguy,

Can you explain what “breaks” you are experiencing?

I’m running Fedora/KDE/Wayland on two machines here, and the only oddity I get regularly is on my system with one monitor in landscape and one in portrait. Sometimes half of the landscape screen seems to be funky until I turn the portrait monitor off and on again (almost like it is trying to put the two displays on one for some reason). Most everything else has been flawless.

Should I give Arch a shot?

I’ve been using Linux as my main OS for a couple of years now, first on a slightly older Dell Inspiron 15. Last year I upgraded to an Inspiron 15 7510 with i7-11800H and RTX3050. Since purchasing this laptop I’ve used Manjaro, Debian 11, Pop OS, Void Linux, Fedora Silverblue (37 & 38) and now Debian 12. I need to reinstall...

myersguy,

I’ve previously been against trying Arch due to instability issues such as the recent GRUB thing.

But you used Manjaro? 😂

Go for it. If you use archinstall, it is incredibly simple to get up and running. The difficulty around Arch is quite overblown except perhaps when talking about people brand new to Linux. Even without archinstall, you are just following a guide in the wiki.

myersguy,

The different repos and bad reputation was my point 😉

If you didn’t want to try Arch due to instability, Manjaro is a funny choice. I was mostly kidding, anyhow.

myersguy,

What an attitude you have. He made a suggestion, and wasn’t gatekeeping anything.

There exists VanillaOS btw.

myersguy,

If I just had one more synthesizer…

myersguy,

Yes.

myersguy,

I use a VPS from RackNerd for all kinds of things (my personal Lemmy, for one). Have had it for two and a half years or so with no complaints.

myersguy,

Few thoughts:

  1. What is being made? Can’t really care about it without having some idea
  2. What makes this company’s version of it worth our interest?
  3. How is it better than the FOSS solutions that in this day and age almost definitely already exist
  4. Why are we to put our faith in this group for pay once software when their two major products are SaaS?
myersguy,

It’s funny because it’s heartbreaking!

myersguy,

Nothing like castrating half of the family tree because of that one time your brother tried to break up your empire!

myersguy,

Would absolutely love to have one. I’ve got a solid connection ready to seed!

myersguy,

Who is in the wrong? Your manager, for not giving you time to refactor? Or you for giving him the option?

myersguy,

C# is great. VS is fine, but being bolted to Windows is no go for me. Rider all the way.

myersguy,

I guess I need to refactor for readability. What you just explained is the entire point of the comment I posted. Refactoring is part of the job. Don’t give your manager a choice on whether or not it needs done.

myersguy,

True, but he mentions .NET development is Windows first, and even mentions that you have “some IDE’s that work with it, like Rider”. He kind of said it without mentioning the specific IDE.

Rider is the real MVP anyways.

myersguy,

How do you mean? Like, how is this different than someone saying “I don’t get the point of Linux”?

myersguy,

Well, you got a new switch!

myersguy,

This used to feel true until Amazon Sidewalk happened.

myersguy,

Sidewalk is (to my knowledge) only used by Amazon devices.

My point was more that Amazon advertised a system where if you didn’t have internet, don’t worry, you can use a neighbours. The current system is all opt in. The issue is that these major companies have never minded hiding other technology or its uses from the end user. We believe we can just block the device from the internet, but it is entirely possible that some of the TV’s of today have similar systems to sidewalk (or even just cell connectivity) built right in.

Let’s not forget when Google nest security systems sold in 2017 received an OTA update (in 2019) to be able to use voice commands (oops, did we not mention there were microphones in the device you bought?)

I’m not saying everyone needs to slap a tinfoil hat on. I’m just saying that while I also block these devices from the internet, it really feels like any day now things will become more difficult than that (possibly in devices we already own)

myersguy,

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it’s very solid.

myersguy,

Lemmy was created because of reddit fucking BS

Lol, no.

myersguy,

Ah yes, I see. Thanks for the link!

VENMusica, to linux

@linux I was able to install Keyscape on Ubuntu Studio, but the GUI won't work in the standalone or VST. Does anyone know how to resolve this? Should be similar if anyone has encountered this with Omnisphere

myersguy,

Are you using yabridge?

myersguy,

even shamed one user in my team to switch from Windows to Mac …

It’s so strange that Windows users don’t see how welcoming our communities are.

myersguy,

Tiny correction: Fedora uses DNF now, not yum (possibly RHEL too, but I have no experience there)

myersguy,

That’s distro choice, no? Debian minimal would also be good for the same purpose, or any other minimal distro, really.

Pssst, can I interest you in some free video games? (feddit.uk)

Howdy pardners, this is a cheeky self-plug for !freegames, a community I’ve created to post limited-time full-game free giveaways. It’s been going a month or two and I’m already claiming games faster than I can play them, so come and join me and make your what-game-to-play choice paralysis worse!

myersguy,

If I have to have a prime subscription to get the game, it’s not free IMO

Otherwise a great idea!

myersguy,

No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.

myersguy,

I’m planning on doing this personally, as my setup is a bit complex (Protonvpn doesn’t have port forwarding on wireguard supported very well on Linux, so I have some helpers running that make it work). Setting this up each time (and on each computer I want to torrent on) is a bit of a pain. If you do all of your setup and dockerize it, you can just pull the container on each new install/machine (0 setup)

myersguy,

Qbittorrent is actually one of the few clients that has this feature, one of the reasons it’s so widely recommended.

Deluge can also do this.

myersguy,

I… Don’t get the joke. Deluge is solid and on the list.

myersguy,

This is it, yeah

myersguy,

…What?

“I’ll see (will show) myself out” is a pretty common thing to say after a joke. If it isn’t a joke, I just don’t understand the first line of your comment.

There’s nothing “wrong” with me, I’m not being in any way “pissy”, and I don’t have an issue. I just didn’t know what you were trying to convey.

myersguy,
