So, I created this file. I assume it needs to be set as “executable”? Did that and put in the path you suggested. Now what? Launched steam, still the same. Launch the file itself and nothing happened. :/
No idea. I don't have windows anywhere on my PC, so can't tell ya. I can tell you that I don't have that issue on Wayland never fucking mind, I have it on both now. Only on x11. Wayland has a different issue with the monitor that is not this. Lol
Damn, seems like doors walls are closing in on me with Linux. I have all AMD, not sure shit is not working. Using HDMI gives me on 30hz which is stupid. Good thing it fixes for me when I reboot
Damn, this makes me think that it's an issue with Dell monitors when connected through DP. I have a similar issue with my monitors on kde where my dell monitor goes into a 1024x768 resolution after a suspend. My other monitor is fine, but it is not dell. So, even if I check the resolutions list, it's not there anymore 3840x2160
I'd have to reboot then it'll show up. I wonder if an update somewhere messed with Dell monitors.
So let's say I ran the multiuser command and installed the repo. How do I install packages after that? I'm assuming I won't use pacman, and would have to use something from nix? Sorry if this sounds dumb, I've never tried nix and know nothing about it.
Oh, and also there was Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U at the beginning under the [Desktop Entry] section that I added your command to to make it look like this Exec=GDK_SCALE=2 /usr/bin/steam %U and it still didn't work. Also, there are two steam apps, native and just plain steam in etc/usr/share/applications. I have two steams in my apps menu, steam(runtime) and native. It's so damn confusing :/
Thank you.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I just installed it from the repos.
As for the exec command, it is a bit confusing because there are more than just one. There is an exec command under every catagory.
For example, there is a section called [Desktop Action BigPicture] that has an exec line Exec=steam steam://open/bigpicture. There are more than one section, and they all have an exec line. I tried the line you provided at the very end of the steam.desktop and steam-native.desktop and still got nothing. So not sure honestly
Running Wayland/kde on endeavourOS here. It has gotten so much better in the last couple of updates. I used to have stutters and just random plasmashell carshes. Those are gone now. Only major annoyance I still have now is some apps are still blurry, which is not Wayland's fault of course, and sddm when I wake the machine from suspend always turns into a black screen with a warning that the session is locked and I need to unlock it with ctrl-alt-F and run loginctl-unlock-session 9 (or some random number). Id do that and it unlocks. It's so weird, and not a big deal, but kind of annoying.
EDIT: So, apparently it does have a proper dark mode that I didn't know about. My apologies.
Oooof, we can only dream. That sunny white paper blinding you in the dark mode is a major turn off. I still use it, though. I appreciate the rest of the suit for sure.
😂 don't feel bad. I've been using Linux for almost 6 years and never knew this until I built my first PC ever last week and needed to add more drives. I was like wtf. I thought it was all like windows, but nope, there is a lot more to it
I understand the fear of the word "telemetry" thanks to MS, google and others... But it is not all bad. If they show me what they collect, I'm ok with that. Good and honest telemetry is good actually.
