  • My comment was mostly meant as a joke. I'm aware most of them use their networking capabilities for IPC and being able to use them remotely is just a cool feature resulting from that (except X11).

  • Or maybe a server OS with desktop features stapled on the front?

    That is a very accurate description of Linux considering even X11 and Wayland are display servers. Pipewire and Pulseaudio are also servers.

  • HDR support is the feature I'm mostly looking forward to.

  • Do you have more details on your setup?

    I currently selfhost mailcow on a small VPS but I would like to move the receiving part to my homelab and only use a small VPS or service like SES for sending.

  • Well, guess I'm pushing back my first Deus Ex playthrough.

  • Can't say I ever had that problem, sorry. My Logitech PRO X scrolls normally over wireless and wired.

  • Which distro do you use? I don't really have much sound issues here and I have a pretty exotic setup.

    I mostly used AMD Software for instant replay, I miss this loads. Tried replay-sorcery like 3 times, failed all 3 times. I gained more knowledge since, fixed discord’s screenshare, so I might give it another shot, but I also heard that you can get instant replay with OBS somehow.

    Yes, I use OBS for that. The feature is called "Replay Buffer" and I have it running with no issues with hardware encoding. I would recommend you use the OBS flatpak, depending on your distro you might also want to use Steam in a Flatpak to make things easier.

    I’d like some alternative to fancontrol, I know I could set fanspeed in the bios, idk why I don’t. But I had a nice lil software that managed fans, now I don’t.

    I'm not aware of a software that controls all fans but I didn't really look since I just let them do what they want. CoreCtrl can do the GPU fan but I also leave that alone.

    Piper also doesn’t support my mouse. It does however support the one I just switched from a month ago…

    You might have some luck requesting support for your mouse/keyboard on their git page, maybe support can be added.

    Idk what Realtek does, but I never had any sound related problems on windows. AKA it just worked, I’d like it back pls.

    What does not work?

    I’d still like to fix the bandwidth (I read somewhere that it’s limited by default)

    There's no bandwidth limit on Pipewire that I'm aware of. The default sampling rate is 48000 if you mean that but it's a sensible default and you probably don't want to change it.

    and mess around with EQs, my lead is AutoEq.

    AutoEq sounds good. EasyEffects definitely can do your EQ and much much more.

    there is just so little support, paired with such a steep learning curve.

    The learning curve can be steep but don't be afraid to ask, there's a lot of helpful people on here. Also most Github/Gitlab projects might look intimidating but they also gladly offer support for applications there.

    PDF viewers

    Okular is included with KDE and is pretty competent.

    Like grep’s powerful, how does regex work, links?, everything in /etc, bash script. hopefully I can get these answered in 2024.

    Those are not strictly needed in order to "use" Linux but if you want to learn about them you there's a lot of resources for them out there. ChatGPT is also pretty useful in helping with bash scripts/commands since they're sometimes hard to read.

  • I didn't do it on the Deck but on Linux, so steps should be something like:

    1. Switch to desktop mode
    2. Download GMDX and place it in the game folder
    3. Install "ProtonUp-QT" from Discover store
    4. In ProtonUp-QT install "SteamTinkerLaunch"
    5. Switch back to game mode
    6. Make sure to launch Deus Ex unmodded once before continuing
    7. Set the compatibility tool for Deus Ex to "SteamTinkerLaunch"
    8. Start Deus Ex
    9. Click "Main menu" in steamtinkerlaunch
    10. Click "One time run" in steamtinkerlaunch
    11. Choose the GMDX exe file in "One time command" and hit "Run command"
    12. Install normally
    13. After installation go back to the main menu and select "Game menu" in steamtinkerlaunch
    14. In "Custom command" select "Play_GMDX.lnk" in the "GMDXv9" folder
    15. Hit "Save and Play" and it should launch modded
  • Thanks for the tip, I started a few weeks ago and barely made any progress. Maybe this will help.

  • I really like Elisa.

    I mostly use it to listen to music that's not in my Jellyfin library yet but it does that beautifully.

  • Like how do you replace

    Most of the time there is no 1:1 replacement, it all depends on which features you use from these apps. Some suggestions:

    AMD Software

    CoreCtrl can do most of the important stuff from the AMD software like GPU overclocking, custom fan curves and per-game profiles.

    Logitech Ghub

    Piper has a lot of support for different mice and keyboards, maybe yours are supported there?

    Realtek audio

    I'm not sure what Realtek audio does nowadays, which features do you need?

    Video recording

    OBS is available and does pretty much does the same stuff as on Windows. If you need to capture gameplay you will have to install obs-vkcapture which is the Vulkan/OpenGL replacement for DirectX capturing included on the Windows version of OBS.

    Audio settings

    Which settings do you require? What do you mean with "Audio quality"?

    Unfortunately most Pipewire/Wireplumber settings are hidden behind config files and I'm not aware of any applications to manage them. The KDE audio settings are quite decent but limited in scope. However, most of the Pipewire settings have a sensible default and probably shouldn't be changed unless you're doing audio production.

    qpwgraph is quite powerful when you need to connect multiple devices together or have virtual audio devices.

  • when IPv6 gets mainstream adoption

    At the current speed that would approximately be in 2087.

  • Tesla wasn’t alone in the push. Nissan’s Leaf was very popular but Tesla made it cool. Cool, as long as you cold afford it,

    The Leaf came both after the initial Roadster launch and the initial funding by Musk. They definitely helped but the main push was the Model S and 3.

    but dieselgate and climate change are what made EVs a necessity today.

    Do you really believe anyone gave a damn about dieselgate or gives a damn about climate change now? You gave them money by buying a ID.3, did the dieselgate situation influence your decision at all?

    maybe do some reading first before launching a defense?

    My comment is in reference to a single sentence. Neither am I defending anyone, simply correcting a wrong statement. If you do not think the statement is wrong, that is fine but don't tell me to do some reading while ignoring the context of the comment chain.

  • So what?

    None of what you said is wrong but none of it concerns the original statement that everyone knew things were headed towards electric cars.

    Nobody knew, nobody would have invested, but Musk tried anyway. One can be a massive asshole and sometimes right at the same time.

    Your ID.3 is the product of the push Tesla gave the industry at a point in time where nobody gave a shit about electric cars. Who knows much much longer things would have taken without that push.

  • Anyone could tell the wind was blowing towards electric cars.

    Not to defend Musk but that is simply not true. Everyone was saying electric cars will never work. Just 6 years ago the Volkswagen CEO made fun of Tesla and now they are still playing the catch up game.
