I’m aware, but doesn’t the lack of an LTS for KDE make things difficult for Debian’s maintainers?

EDIT: Wrote “thing” instead of “things” at first.

This is why I wish KDE still did LTS releases. Even though I use Wayland on my systems, I know it doesn’t have feature parity with X11, and that some users may still need X11 for different reasons. If 95% of users are using Wayland, that means there’s 5% that aren’t, and 5% is not an insignificant number. I know there’s other DEs that people can use if they need X11, but that’s missing the point.

I really don’t like this whole “march of progress, legacy can go to hell” mentality.

Good. I hope this puts a dent in the number of new projects that use AI. I also hope Flathub implements a system to clearly flag existing submissions that have used it.

580 is the latest Nvidia driver branch that still supports 10-series cards, IIRC.

If Nvidia hadn’t headhunted Nouveau’s main developer to work on the open source drivers for their later cards, maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess…

Well this sucks. I use Flatpak all the time, so I guess this means I’m going to be even more dependent on systemd than I was before.

I don’t hate systemd as much as most of its detractors; in fact I like how easy it makes it to manage services, but with the age verification attestation controversy, and the performance improvements I witnessed switching my Pi-Hole box from Debian to Alpine, these things have caused me to question my use of systemd.

That might help to a small extent. I’d be somewhat worried about this feature discouraging people from engaging with smaller communities, but I imagine the active members count does this already.

Looks like some of these could be helpful, along with the Lemmy411 community itself. Thanks!

N64 controllers with this layout always annoy me, because you can’t use them to play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark with the d-pad under your left thumb, and the analog stick under your right thumb. 1.2 Solitaire layout with the left grip on a standard controller is my preferred way to play these games.

Are you using SteamInput for the desktop controller input? (In steam, go to Settings -> Controller -> scroll to the bottom to Non-Game Controller Layouts, and enable SteamInput for Desktop Layout)?

I believe so, but in my case it’s Settings -> Controller -> Show Advanced Settings, then under Non-Game Controller Layouts I have the Desktop Layout.

I don’t see an option to enable or disable Steam Input. This is the same path regardless of whether I open Steam’s settings in Desktop Mode or in Gaming Mode.

Since it’s supposed to switch when you launch a game, I assume that only applies to Steam games? Would I be able to have this trigger for non-Steam games if I added them to my Steam library?

So I’m guessing that if I launch a game through desktop mode, my binds will conflict unless I do something to prevent them from conflicting, like setting a modifier that needs to be triggered to use my binds?

Proton’s a little more recent than that. I still remember the bad old days of Steam on Linux from 2013-2017 where Proton didn’t exist yet, and running the Windows version of Steam through WINE was a PITA. Heck, Proton didn’t really start to get good until about 2021.

Most indie games work fine on Linux, thanks to Proton. MacOS is just an exceptionally poor platform for gaming.

Consoles are the rich man’s platform these days. If you have a bit of technical know-how, it’s not hard to find a cheap old PC and get some games running on it.

GNOME Disks is awesome. It’s the one GNOME app I use regularly, and it amazes me just how good it is given who develops it.

Limited Run

I’ll pass.

I would possibly upvote this if it were just a GNOME customization guide, and if it didn’t try to insist that “GNOME is good, actually.”

TIL at least one German computer magazine still ships cover discs.
