There’s also !localllama@sh.itjust.works on here

The latency is insanely low on Pipewire, which is important for rythm games like osu!, that’s why I originally switched to it. It’s also really cool how it’s compatible with all other audio backends as well.

I’m going to finish school soon and I want to drive a car when I have a job and can afford it. I’ve used public transportation for the past 3 years and will probably still use it in the future when it’s not too inconvenient but a 30 min drive to work taking 1 hour instead, where I spend 30 minutes just waiting, sucks. This weekend I drove to a friend. It would have taken 30 minutes by car but it took me 2 hours with public transport because I had to wait a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The issue isn’t public transportation itself but that the government was trying to save as much money as possible and it is getting better with the new government but there is still so much to do and it will take time.

My drivers license. Now I’m 19 and still need to do it.

I hope GTK and GNOME (or is GTK part of GNOME?) adopt this, I didn’t even know just how bad the inefficiency with todays cursors is. Having a single svg for each cursor and rendering it server-side makes so much more sense.

Did someone already open an issue for this?

I think this makes sense. I still need X11 for VR because GNOME still doesn’t have display leasing on Wayland but once that gets implemented I won’t be using X11 anymore. I think most people don’t need X11 anymore either. For people like me who still need it for specific things, it can just be installed again manually.

You could install it without a desktop and then manually install only the packages for Plasma with Wayland but idk if that’a really worth the effort

It’s actually 0.6 FPS or 1.6 SPF (Seconds per frame)

Do you know how big those two Wikipedia downloads are?

It’s just in case you have issues with the headset not getting detected, the cable can become a little loose and you might need to press it into where it connects to the headset

I use a Valve Index on GNOME as well, so here’s a few things:

• VR doesn’t work yet on GNOME Wayland, you need to select GNOME on Xorg when logging in
• Sometimes the LEDs are red and the headset doesn’t get detected, just unplug the cable and plug it back in
• You might also need to press on the cable where it connects on the headset sometimes, it can become a little loose
• Use CoreCTRL to manually set the GPU performance profile to high, it doesn’t do that automatically for some reason and there’s a huge performance difference
• If you have the issue that moving your head makes it look like the image is jumping back and forth, go into the per-application video settings of the game from SteamVRs menu and turn on Legacy reprojection
  • This only happens when I have very low FPS, the CoreCTRL thing fixed it for me without having to use this option
• There’s an older SteamVR version for Linux you can select as a beta option for SteamVR in Steam but I’d actually not recommend using it, it only works when games use Proton 5 and there are newer games that don’t work with a Proton verison that old. A lot of the issues the regular SteamVR version had are fixed now and it works pretty well for me.

That’s basically what I meant, he was the main villain in the beginning, after all. Didn’t think about that this would kinda spoil it tho.

That’s only temporary tho. One fork will emerge as the replacement everyone goes to, including the developers who were only working on Yuzu and Citra as volunteers. We know what Nintendo was sueing over, so that can probably be avoided in that fork.

It’s the other way around imo. I don’t want to pay hundreds of euros for a console (which is still just a computer) that is slower than my phone just because Nintendo puts artificial restrictions on what hardware the software they make can run on. I already have a PC that could run those games perfectly fine. Or rather, it can run those games perfectly fine, way better than a Switch actually. Unfortunately, the only way for me to play those games on my PC, without having to buy a console I don’t need, is to pirate them.

So basically, I can either pirate the games for free to play them on my PC or I pay for a console for no other reason but to get the privilege of being able to pay for the games.

What I meant was that bad things will always happen simply because we’re so many humans and a few bad ones will always exist, not because it’s some sort of natural thing we can’t stop. I absolutely agree that we can, and should, always work to make the world a better place. Religion might help you stay hopeful in that aspect but it doesn’t help you in actually doing something to make that happen. Without a god, all issues are caused by humans, which also means that those issues can be fixed by humans. On one hand, it means that we need to do everything ourselves and don’t have someone or something helping us but on the other hand, it also means that we can fix everything ourselves and we don’t actually need any help.

I don’t think there’s a soul. If you really think about what you “are”, it’s just your thoughts, memories and senses. Everything that you experience as “you” in this exact moment is the thoughts you’re thinking, the memories you can recall and the information your senses are giving you. If someone were to make an exact clone of you, including all the memories in your brain, you would both think that you’re the real “you” but you would also be two different people with different thoughts and perceptions. But what happened to the soul in this case? Has it been cloned too or has a completely new soul been created? In any case, there has to be a new soul because 2 people obviously can’t have the same one. If you instead transplanted the brain into the clone, would your soul have been transferred? I would think so. But doesn’t that just mean that what we think of as a soul, is just our brain?

My thinking is the same and I get what you mean with wishing that you’d believe in a higher power but I’m not sure if believing in a higher power would actually put me at ease. A god would be something we have no control over and who, to some degree, would have to judge things as good or bad, even if they’re not objectively one or the other. It also kinda puts me at ease that life is just over when you die and there’s no deeper meaning to life. It means that I can live however I see fit and I don’t have to worry about going to heaven or hell or whether I’m following the path that was set out for me. I also think that it’s better to accept that bad things just happen, be that to you or other people, instead of just saying that some god wanted it to happen like that. It means that you actually have to work to fix issues and can’t just rely on some higher power to do it for you.

I agree with the others that testing in a VM (Virtual Machine) first is probably a good idea. Keep in mind that because of missing 3D acceleration inside a VM things like desktop animations might not work.

As for distros, I’d recommend Mint or Fedora. I personally use Fedora.

What’s also important is the desktop environment you choose. The most popular ones are GNOME and KDE Plasma. GNOME is closer to MacOS than Windows and is made to just work while KDE Plasma has a layout similar to Windows out of the box but is very customizable and has a lot of options. Ubuntu uses GNOME but they make quite a few changes to it. Fedora uses GNOME by default but there’s also a KDE Plasma version, I think. Mint doesn’t have these 2 by default, you can always install them if you want to afterwards tho. The 3 options Mint gives you are also more Windows-like but I haven’t tried them myself, so I can’t tell you much about them. A VM would give you the ability to just install them, try them out and delete them afterwards. I personally use GNOME btw.

I don’t know what AI could bring to the table in this case that you can’t do without it already. Command completions or fixing typos works without using AI. If there was an actual benefit, I’d be open to try it out but only by using an open source LLM running locally. I’m definitely not creating an account and paying a monthly subscription while not even being able to use it offline.
