3·3 days agoShoutout to EasyEffects, which has a nice UI and can make the worst microphone sound fantastic.
14·4 days agoamdgpu (the Linux driver) does not support HDMI 2.1 because the HDMI Forum does not allow them to open source their implementation.
Valve would have to provide their own solution and I assume they have not been able to deal with the crooks at the HDMI Forum yet either.
28·5 days agoSelf-hosting is trivial and everyone can do it.
Exposing services to the internet is not.
Just like everyone doing open heart surgery on dummies is fine, everyone self-hosting in their own network is fine. You can buy hardware right now that connects to power and wifi and you are self-hosting.
They have a simple .sh script you can run. Works fine on native Steam, couldn’t get it to run with Flatpak Steam.
Oh come on, they added guidelines on how AI generated content has to be marked.
The alternative would be people committing their AI generated code anyway and just not telling anyone.
Now I’m wondering, which non-From Soulslikes did you enjoy?
Same. The game is fantastic but the RNG is only cool on paper and falls apart just a few hours into the game. The methods they give you to influence your luck are just not enough to do much at all.
It’s really frustrating when you are trying to do something but you constantly have to do something else because that’s what the game is giving you.
I cheated at the end and gave me infinite rerolls for rooms so I could create the layout I needed in that moment. Much better that way.
Not sure if it counts as “budget friendly” but the best and cheapest method right now to run decently sized models is a Strix Halo machine like the Bosgame M5 or the Framework Desktop.
Not only does it have 128GB of VRAM/RAM, it sips power at 10W idle and 120W full load.
It can run models like gpt-oss-120b or glm-4.5-air (Q4/Q6) at full context length and even larger models like glm-4.6, qwen3-235b, or minimax-m2 at Q3 quantization.
Running these models is otherwise not currently possible without putting 128GB of RAM in a server mainboard or paying the Nvidia tax to get a RTX 6000 Pro.
That explains things. Non-focused applications cannot read keystrokes on Wayland.
Since Discord is still running in X11, if you are on KDE you can enable one of these options as a workaround:
Hopefully Discord (or a wrapper for it) will eventually get proper global shortcut support, in which case you can set it right in the KDE shortcut settings.
I’m using the Discord Flatpak on Fedora Kinoite (Wayland/KDE) and have no such issue.

Check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps as well.

Which one? Support varies wildly depending on manufacturer.
gamepad
I have never seen a gamepad that doesn’t work on Linux. You may not be able to update their firmware if they only provide a Windows tool but they work perfectly fine.
VR
Valve Index and HTC Vive work out of the box. SteamVR is pretty rough in Linux and plagued by issues but it works.
For any other headset you will have to depend on community support. Some work, some don’t.
There’s lots of info on https://vronlinux.org/
status LED or info displays
Which ones? They usually use completely proprietary protocols.
Sound Blaster G6
It will work like any other bog-standard sound card has for years. You will lose any features that are custom to the sound card (dialogue mode, virtual surround, equalizer, …) but those are rarely necessary because there is lots of other software that achieves this for every sound card.
I recommend you boot Linux from USB and take a look. No need to install anything, just boot from USB and take a look if your hardware works.
HDR
HDR works on KDE and GNOME desktop environments. KDE is currently the better choice if HDR support is important.
As for software:
- Not included in official Proton builds yet but can be enabled in Proton-GE with 2 environment variables
- mpv works fine
- Kodi gets support in the next major version
- Firefox and Chromium have experimental support
Can’t speak for DP 2.1 since I have an AMD GPU and no hardware that uses DP 2.1 (yet).
This is by amount of games, not by player count. Most games (including non-popular ones) are not live service multiplayer games but small indie titles that do not try to break Linux compatibility on purpose. So yes, 90% sounds plausible.
and thought Microsoft was fixing up their filesystem.
NTFS now comes with Copilot integrated, automatically placing your files where you will never find them again.
The Matrix server is a normal Signal client that can encrypt/decrypt messages from your account.
Assuming you trust your server, no. I would not use it on a third party Matrix server.
Sure, I got all my Signal/Telegram chats synced to my Matrix server.
I finally moved my mail server from Hetzner to my homelab.
Pretty smooth sailing so far. For now I’m using Scaleway for outgoing mails since I can’t set a PTR record here but I might just try sending a few without PTR to see how other providers react.
