Coming from Windows, I set up KDE’s Spectacle to open with Super + Shift + S in Area Select Mode and save and copy to clipboard on click release

Maybe not as unique but kinda neat I think

What about video acceleration though? Cause last time i tried it as soon as I moved the camera the screen share’s framerate would drop like crazy making it essentially useless. On AMD anyway

I’ll prob check later today cause im interested

Something to be aware of with Nvidia on Linux:

I’ve seen that some dx12 games don’t run so well on nvidia compared to Windows. I havent checked that myself but this video shows it well.

I like btop Maybe not really “unknown”, but hey for those that don’t know about it, check it out!

Well when I was a teenager I liked pvp games. Now I don’t. I assume when they’re adults some of them will feel the same, probably

Not really through Caddy but for my setup I have it so the ssh port for Forgejo is only accessible through tailscale. So for push/pulling updated my ssh config file to something like

Host git.mysite.com HostName tailscaleMachineName User git Port 1234

Then doing git pull git@git.mysite.com:user/project.git works just fine as long as I am connected to tailscale

Otherwise you could open the port for Forgejo’s ssh so that you can access it without any vpn

Getting a second drive just for windows I think is a good approach. If you were to do so, it’s important that you remove all other drives while installing windows, otherwise the Windows installer will put its boot files into whatever existing EFI partition it finds.

Then using something like https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat you should be good to go with a relatively clean setup.

To have a local account, I use Rufus to setup the usb installer in a way that it automatically creates the local account, and it can also disable the secure boot and tpm requirements from the installer if you want. Though I think rufus is a windows program only. I know there’s the “OOBE” approach for the local account, but I haven’t done that before. That could be an option too

Sections 3.3 or 3.4

I did 3.4 to disable the headset profiles cause generally it’s ass

I have had this happen to me when my monitor turns off before the night shift starts and when I come back let’s say an hour later and the night shift is not on.

Prob has something to do with the monitor being off at the switching time

For this same dumb reason I wanted to play Forza Motorsport 7 on PC and couldn’t buy it.

And somehow you can still get NFS games that are at least 10 years old I think

The one example I can think of is the Remnant games, at least for Remnant 2 on release it was cheaper on Epic Store than on Steam, by like 10 USD if I recall correctly

A tip I saw some time ago is to do:

rm folder -rf

Additionally you could move the git folder to the trash folder. I think it’s usually located at $HOME/.local/share/trash/files/

Then you can delete it from the trash once you’re certain you got the right folder

It mentions it fixed bluetooth issues with certain devices, I wonder if it’s related to what I’m experiencing on regular fedora KDE (and EndeavorOS too) with a kernel version 6.9.3, CachyOS kernel on fedora, Liqourix on EndeavorOS, where my game controller will not connect to Bluetooth unless I restart the bluetooth service or pair the controller again.

With Fedora’s default kernel which is currently 6.8.11 I don’t have this issue. Honeslty I don’t know what’s up, and from a quick search I couldn’t find people with the same issue. I’ll search again later just in case

One pet peeve of mine is how in Windows 10 switching between virtual desktops was flawless, and somehow in Windows 11 they fucked it up. At first it had no animation when switching, the taskbar kind of glitches. Now it has an animation but it’s kind of delayed and the taskbar still kind of glitches, it seems to reload or something. Kinda crazy honestly

I tried it out for a while and I think a new feature? is that you can control de brightness of the monitor through Plasma. Cool for one monitor but I have 2 and one is brighter than the other at a given brightness %, so it got a bit annoying. I didn’t look further into it but when 6.1 is released on Fedora I will probably need to.

Additionally the SDR colors when HDR is turned on looked better overall. Better than Windows was able to do even. Awesome stuff

mfers raised the yearly price from 80 USD to 100 this year, and then they sent me an email that next year it’ll be 120! a 50% increase in two years, insane.

I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it’s good enough for my needs

May be related to this: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/11380

I know my setup with intel integrated gpu worked prior to the release pf 10.9. Now I can’t get transcoding to work. In the comments they suggest the kernel version has something to do with it but for me it didn’t fix it. I’ll have to troubleshoot further today

Meanwhile transcoding works fine in Plex, so I feel it may be something specific to jellyfin

I can speak at least for rootless podman, I spent some hours on it and different ways I tried all ended in permission issues.

I gave up on trying to do it properly and just set the permissions of the /dev/dri device to 666, so that my podman container can use the gpu for transcoding.

Part of the issue with the container images that I tried is that they create a new user with whatever uid:gid I pass to the container, and so even if my nonroot user is part of the render group, the new user inside the container is not and so it can’t write to the /dev/dri/renderD128 (gpu), and so transcode wouldn’t work.

That’s where I left the troubleshooting at cause it was being a headache
