AProfessional,

That Obsidian is long gone.

AProfessional,

I can agree ER doesn’t have an interesting implementation. I always assumed they added it just to get some experience with the tech rather than anything practical. It was just randomly dropped in an update.

AProfessional,

Emulators will just run at higher resolutions instead of blurry upscaling anyway.

AProfessional, (edited )

I think the problem is their software sucks, so it wouldn’t be useful for any real usage. Even now.

AProfessional,

It’s complicated. Many good devs find them immoral, some just waste time there getting overpaid, I’ve heard management is just yes men. Having money doesn’t always mean good products; it’s well known most innovation in these large companies is through acquisitions.

AProfessional, (edited )

They are older, more system level projects. See libera and OFTC.

To counter your experience Ive only seen emulators use Discord.

AProfessional,

GNOME has had a top panel for over 20 years, it just used to have two panels.

AProfessional,

The option to enable Nvidia drivers is buried

You just type Nvidia into Software. They’ll never promote it unfortunately.

AProfessional,

selinux support doesn’t actually work. The point was to present snap as portable when it is not.

AProfessional, (edited )

A new freedesktop runtime releases once a year, most apps are on the latest.

Nobody uses the Fedora runtime. It exists for political reasons not practical.

AProfessional,

Works on any Linux kernel in the past like decade, yes.

AProfessional,

It’s pretty unlikely. Even on Windows Widevine is lower quality. You have to install native apps that have deeper DRM.

AProfessional,

Flathubs repository’s is GPG signed.

AProfessional,

The GPG key is literally in the repo file https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

AProfessional,

There is no such thing as a “package”. It is a repository of binary data with references to data in it (ala git). The whole repo and all data is gpg signed.

AProfessional,

AProfessional,

GPG errors are fatal unless you manually configure the repo to ignore them with an obscure command.

AProfessional,

Its only really for nvidia which goes out of its way to be portable.

I've Installed multiple Linux Distros on my Editing Rig to see how well Davinci Resolve Studio works. Here are the results.

So a couple of weeks ago, I made this post asking for help from those who used Linux and Davinci Resolve, and their experience. To those who’s response was effectively “I use arch btw”, I hear you, but that wasn’t the question I wanted to ask....

AProfessional,

Its still there, one click, works fine.

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! (gitlab.freedesktop.org)

Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

AProfessional,

Literally all rendering could flicker. So maybe.

AProfessional,

Well correct is a matter of opinion.

Nvidia doesn’t support implicit sync, because they view explicit sync as more correct, it lets the driver do fewer things that might be wrong and perform better. This is true.

The Linux world often assumes implicit sync works. This was never true.

AProfessional,

No, there are hundreds of projects that assume implicit sync. Because its worked forever on Mesa.

AProfessional,

Whats wrong? Don’t say GOG will suddenly go streaming only.

AProfessional,

Pacific Drive is cool, I like the style and gameplay, but it feels very drawn out and repetitive.

AProfessional,

Just a heads up to those interested, it’s part of this months PS+ Extra too.

AProfessional,

Let’s hope Sony treats them well, it’s a huge success in their growing PC push.

AProfessional,

They cannot decrypt your data while sitting, so IMAP cannot work.

AProfessional,

OpenSUSE does not have Fedoras ABI or package names. The RPMs aren’t compatible.

This one might work as its just Electron.

AProfessional, (edited )

Base 10 is correct and more understandable by humans. Everyone uses it except Windows and old tools. macOS, Android (AOSP), etc.

AProfessional,

Thats an irrelevant technical detail for modern storage. We regularly use billions, trillions of bytes. The world has mostly standardized on base 10 for large numbers as it’s easy to understand and convert.

Literally all of the devices I own use this.

AProfessional,

There is a distinct type called a not-for-profit.

AProfessional,

No of course not. It’s for very limited businesses like clubs. Obviously you can’t grow or really make products under that structure.

It was just a fun fact they do exist.

AProfessional,

2% is still very low, and thats not necessarily spread evenly throughout different areas/communities.

AProfessional,

Also its just hostile hardware. I can run Linux on any PC I own. Only a few phones support installing it and have bad drivers even if.

My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I would just like to preface this. This is the first blog post I’ve ever written, so please please please give me feedback if you can. I also didn’t intend on it being here on Lemmy, but Hugo is quite a complex tool that’ll take some time for me to understand. Webdev is not my cup of tea....

AProfessional,

Only layer if the software doesn’t work in a sandbox.

AProfessional,

PackageKit is not used on atomic. Gnome-software has a direct rpm-ostree and flatpak plugin.

AProfessional,

I’ve really enjoyed my first day with it. The performance on the PS5 isn’t the best though, was rough on the eyes.

AProfessional, (edited )

“This looks like a higher budget rip-off of The Long Drive.” Seems like that was mostly correct except for some reason PD has a time limit, which is kind of a bad move for this genre IMO.

As far as I can tell they are just different games in different genres.

PD is structured differently, you do short missions where you collect resources and explore in new areas while avoiding hazards, then return to a hub to do management. It’s often said to be a survival game which is pretty accurate.

AProfessional,

The repo is gpg signed. I don’t know why you think thats not sufficient.

“packages” don’t exist like traditional distros. Its a large repo of data.

AProfessional,

ostreedev.github.io/ostree/man/ostree.html - GPG verification section

AProfessional,

… I assumed you knew the basics.

Flatpak uses ostree for all data. docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/under-the-hood.html

I’m disappointed you criticize the project so harshly with no knowledge of it.

AProfessional, (edited )

Look, Flatpak does, and it’s secure. You can spread misinformation if you like but don’t be proud of it.

You clearly have no capacity to accept new information in good faith.

AProfessional,

DnD works fine here on Wayland?

AProfessional, (edited )

I never drag anything into Nautilus, but Nautilus -> gnome-text-editor works as expected. Nautilus -> My terminal, and my video player works too.

AProfessional,

None of these are walled gardens really. That term applies to platforms (iOS) that restrict the user.

Steam and Epic are just stores. The DRM part isn’t even required (for Steam at least).

AProfessional,

Yes they use kernel level anticheat and they are correct it would be easier to cheat on Linux.

AProfessional,

EAC does support Linux and can be enabled. It just isn’t as secure.

AProfessional,

I’m not saying it’s necessary but “some raytracing“ is very little, the next hardware refresh will be a lot more raytracing.
