Quoting: SoulprayerI was already unhappy that EndeavourOS is dropping XFCE support.
But i will always love XFCE as my favorite desktop.

according to PCSX2 developers, Wayland is "super broken/buggy in basically every scenario. KDE isn't too buggy, GNOME is a complete disaster" and have disabled it in their distributions.
But:

QuotePCSX2 still supports Wayland. It just prefers the XCB/XWayland platform by default. You can set the I_WANT_A_BROKEN_WAYLAND_UI environment variable and experience the brokenness for yourself on the AppImage builds, or add the wayland socket to the flatpak.

One of the 'fun' little breakages I've found... I use a Nitrokey. Copy/Paste in it is broken under Wayland. The way it works under Xorg, I can right click on the tray icon, select password slot label, and the password is copied into the clipboard...

Under Wayland, this doesn't work at all, and the only way I can get it to work is to open the full UI, go to the slot where it's saved, click show password, then copy and paste it that way. That goes from 1 click to like 8... all because Wayland hasn't implemented all of the Xorg clipboard tricks.

Wayland may not be entirely to blame here.

KeePassXC has similar functionality, where you can select an entry, click copy and then paste it elsewhere. It also prevents it being added to clipboard history, and clears it out of your clipboard after a set time.

It does all this on Wayland just fine. So, perhaps Nitrokey could follow a similar method?

That's actually my work flow, use the saved nitrokey password to unlock KeePassXC. I think the reason it doesn't work in nitrokey is because it's still using an old version of Qt that hasn't been updated to be Wayland 'aware'. I may see if I can recompile it on my system to see if that fixes it, assuming it'll compile clean with a newer Qt.

I wonder if Redhat has Nitrokey-Users

Ha, I wonder if anyone who uses Redhat actually uses it with a GUI, or is on a new enough version for them to be using Wayland. I've installed it for testing to make sure some scripting I needed for work would do what I want it to, and am lazy so install the full desktop. They have a funky enough support things that I've been paying the 50 bucks a year for it. Even though they eventually allowed a free Developer version. But it has such a limited amount of packages, I still go back to Debian...

Quoting: ObscureThe stats they show only add up to 95.43% so is it safe to say the other 4.57% were from Linux users across all the various distros?

They also only show Windows 10 and 11, I would assume they have many players on earlier editions.

i thought Steam no longer works on 7? And would anyone seriously stay on 8.x?

I think that's with the beginning of next year. We saw some of them (not many though) on the Steam for Linux forums. Though tbh I am not sure I want people who run operating systems without security support to switch to Linux now. One of them explicitly said they don't want to do any os updates...

Yikes! Ha, I've gotten lazy lately and just install the 'unattended-upgrades' in Debian and let it do it's thing on my server. I just keep my sid box on manual updates. Lately I seem to only go into Windows to apply updates, or the rare time I need to burn an EEPROM or something (though I can actually do that with Linux, but they don't have the GUI stuff for some of the programmers, so it's harder to see exactly what you're burning.)

Ha, they can try and push this because there isn't a whole lot of people using RHEL with a GUI... and after their boneheaded treatment of CentOS... who is not making a shift from RHEL/CentOS?

Quoting: Villianplease don't use X, the name only confuse the article when mentioned

Who on here doesn't know what X is?

And it's in its eleventh incarnation already...!

I always wondered why they didn't just call Wayland X12...

On another note, when people refer to the Steam Deck OLED as a 1.5... it feels more to me like the original Steam Deck was a 0.8 release, and the OLED is the 1.0. They released the hardware out there, then kept patching SteamOS and giving it new features, smoothing things out. The OLED version feels like they wrapped up all the little things and produced what most people should buy, where the LCD one was more for developers / people who love bleeding edge tech.

Quoting: ArdjeDominatrix is also an awesome and free game on steam, and it has been deck verified.
Try it out!


Edit: *Dominatrix simulator
It would have been so much fun if it was just Dominatrix ;-).

How is it in VR? Ha ha!

You're in good company; Liam could have warned you about that.

Ha, I did my operation last weekend, and almost forgot the microSD, it was thick enough to prevent the case from opening, so remembered to remove it before breaking it. Pretty sure the Steam Deck actually runs cooler with the new nvme.

In theory, my OLED should be delivered tomorrow.

Quoting: Luke_NukemBloody hell... I remember being uber excited by Half-Life: Uplink. Really feeling my age now.

Back then, Uplink impressed me to no end and made me really exited for the full game, but it still didn´t prepare me for the real impact of Half-Life. I´ve been gaming since the mid 80s starting with C64 and NES and I´ve seen some games do a sudden leap into the next generation of gaming, but Half-Life felt like it skipped a whole generation just like that.

I'll never forget the very first time on the train. Everything around me just tuned right out.

And then internet cafes started springing up mostly centered around Counterstrike tournaments

Ah the internet cafes... did they just evolve into Starbucks with Wifi? :P Unfortunately no one games together in person anymore...
