This is very sweet and wholesome. Thank you for sharing :)

Can also grab a PCB + case for a 60% if that's up your alley. Not exactly a kit but you can definitely put the parts together. Note that if you want more than a 60%, most PCBs and cases must go together.

I thought manuals were a type of car transmission

I only use windows at work rn so I don't really get into the guts of it much. It works well enough most of the time but I've had to adjust and most of the adjustments are dealing with annoyances like the start menu. I also can't just install arbitrary apps to solve all the issues. I appreciate the points you've made but I've largely found the usability of this OS to be meaningfully worse than Windows 10 and incomparably worse than my recent linux experience.

I haven't really had any of these issues. Those would certainly be enough to push me away. I know I was having somewhat similar issues with consuming the content before enabling hardware acceleration. I haven't tried changing audio tracks so idk there. I'm sorry to hear you've been having a bad time

Curious about your issues with jellyfin? Ive been using it basically issue free for a few months

[–] Corr@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I take issue with the settings menu still relying on the old menus while having shuffled things around so I'm forced to look for settings. I don't really bother with tabbed file explorer because it doesn't bother saving my last open folders. I can't speak to dark mode.

I can say that the start menu is horrendously slow, it can take up to 5 seconds for it to load. Sometimes keystrokes disappear in the start menu only to magically appear some time later. They made the right click menu worse and only changeable in regedit. They made RDP credentials only saveable using CMD. They removed vertical taskbars. There are a lot of issues in going to windows 11 for me.

I'm sure there are some improvements but at work we have a wiki page on how to unfuck up windows 11 so it works how you expect it to.

Ctrl + alt + t opens a terminal in most DE I've used as well

The lord soul runbacks are rough for sure. I hated doing them, but never for the enemies. Just so long for no real reason lol. But you're right, challenge is absolutely the name of the game here

This is very interesting to me, re: enemy spam. Goes to show everyone is different. I literally have no issue running through basically any area in DS1, including the ones you listed. Meanwhile iron keep, the magic swamp area, the bell tower area, and the run back to the samurai dlc boss all haunted me. There's another part in the dlc where you send like oil barrel dudes through a trap door. I did that area about 30x until Everything despawned.

Ds2 does a lot right in vibes. I didn't really get it that much while playing but it focuses a lot on being an RPG and making you utilize the different systems in the game. You benefit a lot from being able to use ranged weapons from time to time.

That said I found the game kinda ass to play. I think the enemy spam in ds2 is significantly worse than ds1 other than the room before the gargoyle fight. When there is enemy spam in ds1, you can almost always run past it. In ds2 you're pretty much forced to fight every single enemy every single time.

I do think it's over hated but I think it's because people wanted a clone of ds1 which its not. If you went into without any expectations, I suspect it would be viewed much differently.

That was a joy. Thank you for sharing

 

On Fedora 39 I installed libunity to get notification badges on Discord but on upgrading to Fedora 40 I seem to have lost them. I still have libunity installed and I tried removing it and reinstalling it and it still dosen't work.
I'm using the native package on the KDE spin if that changes anything.

Would love to see if you guys have any ideas! Thanks

I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can't find an alternative that works on wayland and that's pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.

Thanks in advance to any recommendations!

Edit: this reddit post outlines my exact problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/1bcnj6l/mouse_trapped_dual_monitor_with_different/

 

I installed GNOME on my KDE fedora install some time ago not realizing it would litter my install with gnome apps. Wondering if there's a safe and easy way to remove them. Everyone online seems to say that removing a DE risks uninstalling a lot of stuff and thought I should ask here to be sure.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

 

Lately, when booting up my linux machine (Fedora 39 KDE), everything looks good until about 30s after I log in. Then both screens go black with no output, and shortly after that they light up as if there is a signal but I don't seen anything.

I've tried accessing a TTY but nothing changes on the displays. The only solution I can find is pressing the reset button on the PC, and then I have no problem on the following boot. I'm not really too sure where to start looking regarding solutions. Would really appreciate any input you guys have to solving this problem.

 

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it's been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol.
Fortunately I kept my /home on its own partition, so this shouldn't be too bad to get back up and running as desired.

 

So I've been wanting to try to move to linux for the past few months but have been waiting to be done school, so I could the MS office suite behind me. I'm mostly writing this to share my experience for people who are considering switching.

I finally wiped my laptop to use as a test environment and installing and using it went really well so I went straight to dual booting my main PC with windows (some games I play need to be on windows for now). I started with trying opensuse tumbleweed because I wanted to try to KDE since gnome didnt vibe as well with me in my experience with Ubuntu VMs. It worked great on my laptop but the experience felt quite laggy on my desktop (if anyone has any ideas as to why, I would love to hear them). After fiddling around with installing codecs for a few hours I decided to try out KDE fedora.

This has been working super duper well so far out of the box. No sluggishness, everything's been easy to install and whenever I need to change any settings a quick search gets me what I need. The main thing I have left to figure out is gaming performance. I've launched 1-2 games without too much difficulty but it does seem there maybe be a performance hit. Gotta test more before coming to any conclusions there. Hoping all the games work well so I can decidedly move to Linux without leaving too many games behind.

 

I've managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I'm able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I'm a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.

I'm hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I'm home but this seems less ideal.

Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.

There was a post on lemmy a couple of weeks ago about an old, hard, I think text based game. I wanted to look it up but forgot the name and I can't seem to find it anymore. Any help with this would be really appreciated.

Edit: I don't think it's on the list of text based games on Wikipedia. I've added a comment with some meagre details I can remember

The post referred to it being something they always went back to and it being a lightweight game (maybe from the 90s)

I found it!!! Nethack is what I was looking for. Not text based but ascii. Sorry for the super vague question. It was mentioned in passing on some forum talking about ascii/text-based games.

The post I was referring to: https://lemmy.world/post/1570921

 

Basically just just the title. I thought I read somewhere I can do that, but I don't see the option to when I find the account in trying to follow. Thanks in advance for any answers
