Which distro? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Nobara is very good for middle user that just want a ready-to-game distro; Bazzite is best for noobs, thanks to immutability; for an experienced user there are no reasons to not use Arch.

Arch. Bazzite/Nobara are for noobs (in a positive way, don't get me wrong). Gaming is in spot where you want stability but also a rolling release, since we have daily improvements on essential packages; as an experienced user you can use Arch for that; consider also even Valve is on it with the Steam Deck (Arch-based).

If you want to learn more in depth about how Proton works I suggest you to ask here on [GloriousEggroll's Discord](https://discord.gg/6y3BdzC.

For emulation, X360 and PS3 needs intense resources and their emulators may be in an early development state; look back to the previous generations, maybe with a cool megabezel shader on RA.

What Linux distro surprised you the most? in c/[email protected]

Void Linux, very clean and fast on old hardware.

Proton is Wine with prefixes, basically, you can use it without Steam on Lutris for example (Wine-GE suggested); also, emulation for old games isn't so demanding, try different cores for RetroArch.

Can I launch modern games thru RetroArch? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ok this is the closest thing i have found but i haven't tried setting it up yet: https://forums.libretro.com/t/official-release-thread-for-windowcast-core/40464

From an user "the only way to run non-retroarch programs within retroarch is via the Windowcast-Core, but all that really does is allow you to use shaders and overlays. it also adds some latency, so I wouldn't really recommend it anyway."

Bazzite KDE: I have a stupid bug that zooms the mouse cursor (Solved) (slrpnk.net)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

Can I sync "stars" for my music between devices without a server? (slrpnk.net)

Maybe using Syncthing or MPD? I'm searching something to keep/share my votes or even maybe listen counts for desktop and mobile. Also it would be nice to create a backup for these data.

I love the ViMusic/RiMusic UI, it's something different that works also better than standard material designs.

What is your usual procedure? (slrpnk.net)
 

Where do you download? Excluding particular cases, what are the common steps you take to make most games playable? Where do you keep and launch your collection?

I know there are in-depth guides but I wanted a more genuine commentary on your experience.

Has anyone ever had experience with 'precious plastic' or similar? (slrpnk.net)
 

In this period I was learning about different systems for recycling and reusing plastic from a DIY perspective, when I came to know about this open hardware.

This community is the most important for videogames preservation (slrpnk.net)
 

Think about it, Linux is the most future-proof OS, not threatened by companies or commercial interests, and the same can be said for Lemmy in the world of decentralized communication for topics of interest. Without these two things the preservation of video games would be greatly in danger.

How to add RetroArch games on Steam? (slrpnk.net)
 

crosspostato da: https://slrpnk.net/post/8602499

My stuff:

  • ArchLinux KDE, amdgpu, vulkan, wayland
  • RetroArch installed from official repos
  • cores installed via RetroArch utility

I'm using this command but it results in a graphical glitch when launched from steam:

retroarch -L "path/to/core" "path/to/game"

Possible causes I found:

  • the command may not work if the game is a .cue file
  • loading a game from Steam via RetroArch 64bit can be a problem(?)
  • cores installed with the utility are in ".info" and not in the ".so" extension

spoilerI haven't tried Steam Rom Manager as it doesn't solve my doubt and in any case I'm not sure it can solve the problem even if set correctly.

Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more? (simplex.chat)
 

SimpleX Chat is an instant messenger that is decentralized and doesn't depend on any unique identifiers such as phone numbers or usernames. Users of SimpleX Chat can scan a QR code or click an invite link to participate in group conversations.

It's clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

Music apps and sorting music (slrpnk.net)

It's just me or no music player can correctly sort albums by date? I do tag my music using Picard and I had luck just with VLC in that sense (which is ok but I don't love it for music) but all other apps sucks with this.

Steam Big-Picture wrong controls (Arch, KDE, Wayland, AMD) (slrpnk.net)
 

My setup works perfectly with my old but gold RX580, the only issue is big picture: it recognize my controllers (SteamController or 8bitDo) but the buttons don't work correctly (for example (B) doesn't back but open a menu). I've tried to reset the chord or guide layout but nothing change.
