The proprietary Nvidia driver has kernel modules that are specific to a single version of the Linux kernel. With pre-built packages that's typically whatever the standard kernel is for your distro. If that kernel isn't booted then you'll have no graphics driver.

This is solved by DKMS, which will build those kernel modules for every kernel you have installed. You'll need the kernel headers for the kernel you want to build for, as well as the nvidia-kernel-dkms package which the wiki you linked only offhandedly mentions. Whenever the kernel or driver updates it should build the required modules.

If it's only 3d printed plastic, yes. Most "3d printed guns" are like Glocks. Metal for the important bits, plastic for everything else.

While Vendetta may still work for now, the devs have officially stopped working on Vendetta as of February 6th

If your monitor is like mine (Samsung Odyssey G9 original), you have to disable freesync monitor side to have the aspect ratio correct on non 32:9 resolutions on the displayport inputs.

If you're coming from newer Metroid titles you might want this. It is a romhack that has a number of quality of life patches like GBA-style missile and aim controls, faster door transitions, and not locking backtracking from the final save room, etc.

Here is a website that keeps track of the latest YouTube anti-adblock scripts and if uBlock Origin's filters are updated to bypass it: https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/

I wish we had something like Sponsorblock but for podcasts instead of YouTube. Integrate that into AntennaPod and it'd be amazing.

The Pokemon part fucking killed me. No need to write your own jokes when reality writes them for you.

The LCD panels that typical resin printers use do have an expected lifespan. I wouldn't advise eating into that just for post-curing prints.

I think they were saying that they could save space by converting their existing jpg files to avif or jpgXL, not converting to a 70% quality jpg. JpgXL can do this losslessly so there's no drawback there, but converting to avif would be a lossy to lossy transcode.

EDIT: I completely missed OP's last paragraph, which does say they are considering converting their existing jpg files into 70% jpgs.

Not sure if you're sticking with World Tour specifically for your mods but Clone Hero has a native Linux build. There's also rips of nearly every Guitar Hero and Rock Band game that you can add to it.

The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system's version to get TF2 running again. It's usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I'm not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I've found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they've found a match.

The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application's config files, cache, etc.

There are many applications that don't follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.

WatchParty works fine for watching YouTube together but uploading to your friends requires Chrome. I've also never been able to get video working with mkv files. Webm works but I've never seen a release in a webm container.

I want to try this one but my friends are on Windows.

I use SyncPlay since it works on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

You can actually get Vulkan on GCN 1 and 2 cards through the AMDGPU driver set. It's just not enabled by default because support is in beta status limbo. YMMV though because a reason I remember upgrading from an R9 280 (HD 7950 refresh) was to get better driver support.

You should also be able to set the SDL_AUDIODRIVER environment variable to pipewire to get this effect globally.

uBlock Origin does actually block network requests before they leave your browser. The main difference is that Pi-hole can block requests from any application on all your networked devices. Theoretically you can achieve the same effect of a Pi-hole with a hosts file (except DNS caching), but that would involve setting up and maintaining one on every device you own... if that's even possible (looking at you, Android and IOS)

You can decode and view HDR files in SDR just fine but the Linux ecosystem just does not support HDR yet. It's being worked on though and Valve's Gamescope compositor has started getting HDR working in games.
