21·11 days agoI am on the latest version of FF on Linux and I don’t have HDR working, not on YouTube, nor on standalone players like Jellyfin. Yes my display is HDR and Wayland+gnome is exposing HDR properly to games and Helium (chromium fork).
Since some govt and utilities sites only work on “chrome” (borked even with user agent switcher set to chrome+win on FF) I had to get this other browser, and the speed difference is noticeable on most sites, even tho theoretically FF should be faster since its stripping a lot of crap with uBlock Origin.
Tried flatpak’d Brave and also runs snappier than FF.

493·12 days agoI don’t really mind AI features where it makes sense. That being said, as someone else commented, this should have been a plugin.
I’ll add on top of that: this should have been a plugin wholly developed by Mistral. Mozilla should stop spending time and money on side features and focus on the browser and its engine. It still is way slower than any chromium based browser, lacks features that have been standard on chromium for years (eg. HDR video playback) and it’s way less efficient on battery than the competition.
Complaining about Firefox doing this and groveling on “I’m good, I’m on <random fork>” is spitting upwards: even the most modified forks like Zen still rely on Mozilla’s aging engine.

4·23 days agoYou’d be surprised. Linux is where good hardware goes to live forever.
For example, the super weird “Sidewinder Strategic Commander” runs out of the box on Linux. A Microsoft device. That got its drivers deprecated after XP SP2, runs today on new kernels without doing anything

I’ve seen that message only when I forget to add my relay info and key. Maybe it’s not getting picked up? Check on settings > network > relay/ID see if the info there is right.

flinging upvotes to y’all, really makes my day seeing civil discourse and not “Discourse” on here. Keep it up, really this is what makes Lemmy such a great place

Paperless always had some sort of primitive AI for document classification and auto tagging. I haven’t yet read the changes on 3.x but I’ve been using it for years and it’s like a dumb AI that needs a lot of guidance and manual tagging at first, but as time goes on, it “figures out” every document you throw in the ingest. I’ve been sending it emails, or uploading straight from the mobile app and its amazing, can’t go back to a folder filled with “Download(739).pdf” or “IMG_4926.jpg” files of random recipts and invoices

It requires a steam client restart for refreshing, but I’ve been doing this for my steam games on Linux.
On the storage settings on steam you can add a new library on the external drive and move games to it. Both the game data and the compatdata folders are moved, so you keep the savegames and the whole protonprefix intact

Used to play it on my previous rig (ryzen 5 2400G + rx580) on lower settings. That’s why I got hooked with AMS 2, ran far better 😁

ACC runs great on bazzite, though I have never played competitively. Got a g29 and works OOTB on Bazzite. The only extra step was downloading “oversteer” to adjust settings per game. You might need a different piece of software (from Bazaar aappstore) depending on your base’s brand.
If you are somewhat inclined, I’d highly recommend building your own machine, especially if you have a nerdy friend, relative or coworker that could coach you along the way.
FWIW, here are some titles I’ve tried and ran without issues:
- AMS2
- RaceRoom
- Project Cars 2
- Beam.ng (AI drivers have a lot more cpu overhead tho)
- Asetto Corsa (tho CSP and launcher are a pain to set up)
- Dirt Rally 2.0
- Forza 4 5 and 6 (6 needs a few tweaks)
- RaceRoom
Depending on the usecase for your future machine, you can choose between regular and “deck” versions of bazzite. Deck versions boot straight to big picture mode, easier if you want it on your living room or as a dedicated simrig pc.
Go for amd and you’ll have absolutely no issues, everything will run straight out of the install
No need, you can create a password protected link that you can share so anybody can get in as a named guest. I host my own NC instance using the AIO docker since 2020 and since last year we’ve been using spreed (aka NC Talk). I manually added friends and family (each group with their own ACL rules) but also keep a live invite link for casual friends that might hop on a call every now and then. Password is just a safety measure so I don’t have randos joining the call/chat
