Has flatpak/snap fixed the screen lease issue for vr yet? Had to install the version off steam for vr when I set it up

$500 bucks to not answer the census, couldn't find if we just refuse to answer 1 question. Small price to pay to object to this unnecessary collection of data

Edit: When they come-a-knockin I will check back and let you know what if any consequences

As a hetero, I will NOT be answering that question on the census. This is information they just do not need, having a nice local badly secured repository of sensitive info. Didn't OSAP get hacked and a thumb drive walk out of a secured area? Our govt will not use it properly, will not secure it properly, I am sure

I hear the term "Burn it All Down" a lot, but is this how it should be done?

My fear when first using the big toilet

Headin back to linux (kubuntu this time) after about 12yrs, forgot sooooo much.

Me either, trust is a hard thing with any of these companies, especially one that has proven it is untrustworthy. Source: Been using windows since it was an application masquerading as an operating system, read win 3.11. Almost done with em tho, almost

I switched to BD when the russian attacks on Ukraine started again, was using Kaspersky before, system runs like a dream. A friend was having difficulties with his pc, he was using nortons, I suggested he try BD. We cleaned his system, so much virus and malware, and he has had no slowdowns since. I recommend it, along with something that can still use ubo and privacy badger.

Is "Vibe Reading" a thing? Like vibe coding? Lol

I'm using the "official" Nvidia driver and Kubuntu, due to VR, and have not had any issues with video. Still wish I'd gone AMD though

This is an issue for me. I have a G13 and cannot find drivers to get it to work, I'm talking to program the buttons so they do something as right now it does nothing but display G13 on the screen. Of the 2 options I have found/been told about g13d and g13gui neither will compile to work on my system

Reading is hard

The latest vids from my subs always show up on my main feed, I sub to give the creator a number boost, let yt know to put these on my feed, and even with notifications off I will see their latest vid near the top of my feed within a short time of release, sometimes I get the vid posted less than 5 mins before I get back.

Never reflect on how long ago something was, it is almost always a slap in the face ;)

Yeah, make sure you get steam from the steam site not flat pack and if you use Nvidia, use the official Nvidia driver, also make sure you select compatibility in steam. Sometimes you need a different Proton version. Turn settings down and the fps will normalize.

I just saw that suggestion from someone else, will try that if wlx doesn't work out, ty

Wlx, that's the one he suggested. I have it in a folder in steam and will be testing sometime soon. Will check out envision as well, ty

Steam/SteamVR is where all my games are located, I like to have 1 launcher. Tho I cannot interact with the monitors from inside steamvr, yet, if i click on the window it closes unlike in windows where I control OBS and other stuff, also only shows 1 of my 2 monitors. BUT, when I get a chance the creator of Desktop+ that I use on windows suggested a linux app that does most of what his app does so that may give me the pc control I need since I do most everything in vr for streaming.

edit: I think some of my issue may be the poor old Ryzen 7 3800 I am using vs the RTX 4070ti super. The Ryzen 7 is having issues with a few games now, especially the VR mod ones like Satisfactory

So far, with the 2 games I have had a chance to try, other than having to lower the settings to bottom, they load and play if a little stuttery. With how Proton has improved by leaps and bounds I have no reason to believe it won't keep improving at near the same pace. It is just that darn translation layer combined with the very high requirements of VR that needs to be overcome. If enough linux users go on the vr games and lament there is no linux native option we may get movement on that end. The flat games run so smooth right now I forget which OS I am using, compared to 2 years ago. I even have the disadvantage of an Nvidia card, at least the official driver is better meeting our requirements, shoulda gone AMD...

Then VR games will work at better than min specs. Trying hard to get off windows, mostly there. Except when streaming VR games, Kubuntu is my daily driver. All my flat games (like 8 of them) work flawlessly now that cloud is syncing. Just need drivers for one device and software for another but may just have to deal with the loss of a left hand kb, and 2 buttons on trackball.

I did get some useful looking apps recommended not long ago, not 1 will compile on my os and I am way to tired at the end of the work day to read read and read some more(I used to do more complex stuff 20 yrs ago but, well, I forgot most of what I knew. Why is "make" looking to github instead of the directory I am in?

Proton is is coming along great, I used to support Cedega to play win games before.
