Valve has been doing amazing work putting money into Linux gaming, funding open source projects and showing that it's a viable option for quite a while now, and it's starting to pay off.

The only issue (and it's not exactly a real one) is anticheat support for some mainstream tentpole games, like Fortnite, GTAV, Valorant... Devs could fix that if they wanted, but until they do some people won't make that jump. Someone needs to wave some money in front of some game studio execs to entice them aboard.

There is an active gitlab issue tracker for the open source amd drivers that you can keep an eye on.

I definitely mis-read that as IKEA on first glance.

There's a "US Gov protecting fossils" joke in there somewhere but I don't really want to kick that hornets nest.

They were limiting their own production to raise demand and keep the price high, but then realized their competitors were benefiting from selling at those higher prices... so now they're going to raise their own production and try undercut competitors on prices. They have the capacity to out-produce their competition, so they can afford to sell for slightly less than competitors if they want to, hence the "long and shallow” price war quote.

They are against low prices, but if anyone is buying low they want to be the one selling it.

Main character syndrome.

I've had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

In the description for ArcMenu they say:

Requires GMenu package:

• Depending on your distro you may need to install 'gir1.2-gmenu-3.0', 'gnome-menus', or 'libgnome-menu-3-0'

Have you got that dependency covered?

What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

every time I got lost in the ship builder, I'd spend an hour on some crazy design, be a piece away from saving it, and the game would just lock up and stop responding to input. Only ever happened in ship builder. I lost like 4 hours to that flippin' bug!

I found Fallout 4 had good gameplay, but the main questline didn't connect with me at all. I'm currently playing through Starfield at the moment, have like 220 hours playtime, I honestly wish I wasn't finding it so boring but it's easily the most bland Bethesda game I've ever played.

The story writing seems kinda half-arsed, but my main issue with Starfield is in the environments. Every location feels the same, and the planets are all just barren deserts with a random base and two caves plopped on it. At least Fallout 4's environment felt hand-crafted, and not just like they rolled three dice.

What part of it do you connect with most?

Now try Starfield.

You'll find it so shallow that Fallout 4 seems like the Mariana Trench.

I’m not doing this for approval.

Okay. Go away and do it then.

My monitors.xml has two <configuration> blocks, with the only real difference being that one has <layoutmode>physical</layoutmode> and the second has <layoutmode>logical</layoutmode>. I don't really think that'd be the issue here though, because if the dummy plug is listed as disabled it shouldn't be trying to use it anyway...?

I think you're right in reporting it to the GDM repo, at a minimum someone there will know where to point you towards figuring this out. Maybe the GNOME Mutter repo might be a related stop for this too, seeing that's the part generating the monitors.xml...

The things that are supposed to be simple are always the bits that suck the most!

Yeah, seems like it should just be working...

You've probably already got this covered, but when you created your user monitors.xml config, did you have the dummy plug connected and disabled?

Maybe the config:

• has it included as a monitor and enabled as part of the screen layout
• or possibly doesn't include it at all, and then GDM just assumes it can/should use it as a new option?

When you copy over your monitor config, are you correcting the ownership/permissions?

The little scriptlet I made to combat a previous nvidia/wayland multi-monitor headache boils down to:

 bash

    
sudo cp $HOME/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/
sudo chown gdm:gdm /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml

  

Maybe double check if GDM is ignoring wayland as well, I've definitely had that happen in the past too.

Deluxe also includes Morrowind and Skyrim.

ack-tually... that's a separate Elder Scrolls Summer Bundle. The "base" GOTY version has Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles included, and then the "Deluxe" GOTY version adds all the smaller horse armor tier micro-transaction DLCs too. (that AFAIK you can't buy separately any more?)

Yeah, this is probably what OP noticed.

Adwaita Sans is a tweaked version of Inter (the main change was to make lowercase I and L look less similar, IIRC) and then Adwaita Mono is basically Iosevka tweaked to match with Inter.

I use Tauon Music Box on Linux, I think it's pretty decent, but it is kinda playlist focused.

Yeah, the Forgejo documentation was dreadful when I last looked, it really showed its origin as a Gitea replacement for people already using (and understanding) Gitea.

That's cool. Any reason why you went with a self-hosted GitHub runner over making the full jump to a self-hosted Gitea instance + runner?

As much as I love the Steam Deck, I just don't find myself playing mine much. What makes you prefer it to your (I assume) desktop?
