I think about this a lot and just remember a thing I read once: “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”

i have friends that are trying to get linux gaming and stuff like jellyfin working and its the opposite problem where they’ll tell me about the problems and i’ll want to help but they’ll be like “nah its ok i’ll figure it out” oh ok

This is a great project, if I could make a suggestion, it might be helpful to add, to the “availability” category:

• f.droid app store
• the ability to generate wireguard and/or openvpn files. I know a few providers support this and its generally a better experience on Linux IME with Wireguard than trying to get their applications running on various different distros, since its natively supported with NetworkManager. There’s also a Wireguard app for Windows but I haven’t tried it, and of course OpenVPN is well supported on all major operating systems. Some advanced features may not be available, or can be set up in some cases at creation of the configs. I’ve only personally done this with Proton and it’s worked well. (I think PIA discontinued openvpn generation years ago which sucks as I had a lot of trouble with their app on Linux since I wanted to make a headless server)

I had some trouble getting it to connect to my TV via HDMI. The solution turned out to be to switch back to the open source display driver instead of Nvidia’s proprietary one LMFAO

I actually ran into something similar with Fedora a month or two back where it would boot into a “no signal” mode. Tried a few things and it would intermittently work, sometimes I’d get to the login screen, but get “no signal” once I logged in.

I was frustrated trying to get beta nvidia drivers working on fedora so on a whim installed Arch and …it fixed the issue? Same proprietary driver version even!? Ive been using Linux my whole life and I have no clue what’s going on here.

I don’t think switching distros is a viable solution for the problem, but it is weird that it worked.

i hope the sound will take the form of an apology to me personally for having to work in the tech industry during this bs

last time I played FNV I used this guide https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/ . i thought it was fun to set up and everything but i had trouble getting MO2 working on Linux (I think its easier these days) and playing too was a good time

I discovered some fun™ things about baldur’s gate 3 lately on linux.

1. if you’re using a CPU that needs core parking (like a CPU with P/E cores, or an X3D chip with more than one CCD) AND using gamemoderun to run the game, the audio in the game won’t work. The solution is not to use gamemoderun (or disable core parking in its ini file), as the game will do its own core parking and if you’re doing it it’ll crash trying to spawn audio threads. Apparently this affects Windows users using Process Lasso as well!

2. If you love Wayland and want to get on the XWayland-free gravy train, you might know that using GE-Proton gives you new env vars you can use PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 (No XWayland needed! For me this means more stable VRR, better Alt-Tab support, etc.) and even PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 (HDR without Gamescope! Works only on some games, apparently not on Vulkan-native games yet). I lost several hours tonight to this trying to play the damn game over the Internet with a friend and suffering from what appeared to be network issues - my character would rubber-band, it would take seconds and multiple clicks to activate an ability, there’d be huge delays in any action I’d take. Even though my framerate was a smooth 170 or w/e the entire time! No stuttering! Nope, it was PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND. Removing that fixed it. Why does running in Wayland directly cause this game to act like its running over a 56k modem (only when connected to another player)? I don’t know, why does parking cores kill audio?? I hear this is an issue on Windows too, or was at some point, if you had VSync off.

I suffered. Maybe you won’t have to.

forgot to plug in the 8-pin power connector to the motherboard

truly I’ve lost count of how many times I or someone I know have done this.

weird that food and rent aren’t on this chart
