Huh, interesting. I have seen the black window thing before but only with electron apps, and those can be told to use in-proc GPU to get around that issue. I assume that’s not the issue you had.

I was more wondering like what apps, since I’ve not had trouble myself.

Hadn’t heard of labwc, will have to check it out if I run into issues, thanks.

What’s stopping you from using wayland, out of interest?

If gentoo stopped being maintained, I guess I’d find something else.

And any platform that wants to allow adult content would have a viable means to secure funding. You can’t overstate how far the chilling effects of VISA et al’s anti-porn stance reaches.

What’s their stance on porn?

Wait, Rust is a functional language and not object oriented?

Red Hat, back when that was a distro. It was a long time ago now and my toying with it didn’t last long; and began an obsession with hardware RAID…

I just really like portage, I guess. I know how to use it, and learning how to do the same thing in guix doesn’t offer any benefits that I know of that matter to me, yet. Maybe one day.

I use Gentoo, and atomic just doesn’t seem like a fit for me. That said I could see it being great for people who don’t tinker. If I were to get a family member to use linux I might pick an atomic distro.

Man I picked the best time to take a serious shot at daily driving desktop linux. Most of what I want just works and new stuff is always just around the corner. Just got NTsync on my preferred kernel, now wayland session restore is coming.

Star Citizen runs just fine under linux. For the most part, anyway. Being under active dev it breaks occasionally, but the Linux User Group has always gotten it working again so far.

I would recommend using Wine directly over using Lutris right now, but that’s an option you can pick in this script. Join the discord if you have trouble, people are friendly there if you’re polite.

Don’t use Proton/Steam for it.

Would this allow apps like Solaar or Piper to work without having a udev rule allow the seat user and plugdev groups RW access to all logitech /dev/hidraw* nodes?

I am not gonna use SteamOS. But if a bunch of regular folk do, then it might convince peripheral and game makers it’d be worth putting in a modicum of effort to support linux. That’s why I’m excited for SteamOS.

Yep. :P

Can you elaborate for the curious among us?

KDE, because it’s familiar yet customisable. Gnome is just too strange for me, and doesn’t seem to allow me to un-strange it.

I feel like Samsung works better for Crusader. RSI would be the early gen android with the trackball. :P (RSI is my favourite manufacturer, btw)

KDE Plasma. I just like it. It seems to have options to do what I want, for the most part. There’s some things I wish it had, like a way to programmatically get the active window under Wayland, so StreamController could automatically change pages.

I know it’s tangential to your comment, but I need to get this off my chest. I hate when things like Epic’s stance is framed as “not supporting” linux, when in reality they barely need to do anything to let the game run there. What they’re doing is actively detecting and blocking it.
