MakeMKV: For ripping DVDs & Blurays

MakeMKV is available on Linux as Flatpak and works out of the box: https://flathub.org/apps/com.makemkv.MakeMKV

Bulk Rename Utility

Probably a tough one since most people will use the command line to bulk rename files. I do use ChatGPT sometimes to create rename commands for me that are more complicated.

Exact Audio Copy

I use Sound Juicer now, used fre:ac before.

Logitech G Hub I know OpenRGB exists, and it’s good enough for my needs when it comes to LED management, but it doesn’t seem to be able to control DPI presets like G Hub.

Piper can do DPI presets: https://flathub.org/apps/org.freedesktop.Piper

Mp3tag

I used Mp3tag on Windows and switched to Picard, I like it even more than Mp3tag now: https://flathub.org/apps/org.musicbrainz.Picard

Paint.NET

Is GIMP really that complex for this use case? I use GIMP to do simple stuff like paint, rescale images, blur things, fill things, ... https://flathub.org/apps/org.gimp.GIMP

Playnite

I don't use anything out of Steam often but If you don't like Lutris, maybe Heroic for GOG and Epic? https://flathub.org/apps/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

Mod Organizer 2

r2modman has native support for Linux: https://github.com/ebkr/r2modmanPlus

There's also support for one-click installation of Mod Organizer 2 with steamtinkerlaunch: https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch/wiki/Mod-Organizer-2

I played TotK start to end on yuzu on release in 4k with ultrawide and 60 fps mod, little to no issues.

BotW is also very playable now on yuzu, development sped up drastically when TotK released.

Well thanks for the heads up, as a fellow lazy Gandi user I now know where to switch my domains to.

The architecture is literally better than Flatpak

Why?

I don’t understand why people are so hell bent on hating Snaps.

Every single time I tried snaps in the last years I had a bad time. Either they were slow to start, refused to work (Docker snap) or made my machine boot significantly slower. Granted, I haven't bothered in a year or so.

At this point they just released unfinished software that was not ready for production, forced it onto people and are surprised when everybody remembers snap as being partially closed source, slow and unreliable. Even if it's not now, that's how the first impression was and it's going to stick forever.

I mean letting people play their coop game if their servers are having issues is free. The game itself is P2P anyway.

Same here, all my 4k players run Kodi/CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin.

If I hear a song I like in a movie, game or other media I add the song and the discography for the artist to the downloader.

Once I have some free time I listen through those songs and filter out everything I don't like.

The rest gets added to my collection. I never delete songs unless something slipped through like a short interlude.

This is the thing that annoys me the most about this situation.

They literally only need to check in after a game ends to update the overall planet progress. If something fails after the match, so be it.

But I guess microtransactions gotta microtransaction.

They all run in user space. As such, they can barely get a process list.

My best guess is they do absolutely nothing right now.

Are you using the official dock? If so, you might have to RMA it.

The first firmware update on my OLED deck messed it up and it stopped outputting anything. The one I got now outputs HDR and VRR with no issues.

Can the monitor scale the rate down to consume less power or something?

In theory, yes. However, I have never seen it used that way. The only widely used applications for VRR are games and video playback.

Would be interesting to do some power measurements though.

Is X downgrading my 75 Hz monitor to 60 silently?

Yes, X does not support different refresh rates. Wayland does.

Since I noticed a lot of people didn’t replay due to slowness

The system to replay chapters was really bad, if you had been able to jump in at every scene I probably would have replayed parts I was interested in as well.

Only being able to resume at given checkpoints and then having to spend an hour to get to the part you are interested in was just a drag so I didn't really bother after my initial playthrough.

Especially since AI is already in Firefox, the offline translation feature uses local NMT models.

If only ESPHome had support for Zigbee on the C6 and H2. So much potential for cool projects.

The lamp stopped working and I've put off replacing it.

If you still have it, do it. Replacing the lamp on a projector is incredibly easy and only takes like 15 minutes.

If you only order the bulb without casing it's also very cheap.

Yesterday I plugged my Xbox 360 controller into my steam deck and played Halo 3 Like an OG.

If you had told someone 10 years ago that you can play Halo 3 on a handheld running Linux with a OG Xbox 360 controller on Steam they would call you crazy.

I had the same issue and you can do this by editing your Steam shortcut and adding -silent to the arguments.

Yes, I don't want external users to accidentally play the 4k version so I only give access to people who I know can handle it.

Fedora:

• Put H264 and H265 hardware video decoding back in
• Make Flathub the default Flatpak repository
• Make the installer easier for beginners by hiding advanced settings most won't need
• Make their KDE spin more prominent, currently you have to look for it to find it

Only on Windows, on Linux it runs in user space.
