Can I get a summary of what’s going on in Chinese Linux land? That seems pretty interesting; I always wonder what programs the East uses vs the West

Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Teamviewer Terminates Perpetual LicensesEnglish1·3 months agoDo you know how wasteful? Is there like an actual overhead when running obs, or is it more like Nvidia shadow play or steams recording? Are you actually recording when you have that active or is it just actually creating a virtual screen?
Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Teamviewer Terminates Perpetual LicensesEnglish71·3 months agoAnyone know how I can get remote access with my monitors off while using Wayland ? Everytime I log in if I have my monitors off I just get a black screen. I bought one of those dummy HDMI plugs no dice. Works fine with x11 but I don’t want to have to relog every time I get to my computer.
Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft Plans Major Job Cuts at Xbox Gaming DivisionEnglish4·3 months agoXbox will still exist as a platform, just not the console. It’ll probably just be stuff like the Xbox ally x; Xbox partners with brands to sell hardware with cut down versions of windows that has access to 3rd party markets like steam and such, but a major emphasis on the Xbox/windows store.
Either way, I don’t think there has to be a third platform if Xbox went away. PC looked kinda shaky there for a moment in the '00s/'10s, but at this point it seems pretty well poised to become the dominant platform. Xbox and PlayStation already port games to steam and even GoG. Nintendo is the harder nut to crack, I’m not sure what’d it take for them to get out of the hardware business. I read somewhere they have enough cash on hand to operate at a loss for like a decade or something.
I get ai being an existential threat to most of the denizens of lemmy (overwhelmingly techy and left leaning) but ai vastly simplified the Linux install process for me. I took a c++ class 10 years ago that I failed and that was about the extent of my programming knowledge so without AI it would’ve been a nightmare trying to get everything set up. Gemini remembered what distro I was installing, my drives and their /dev/ name or whatever, how I should insert those into fstab, why grub wasn’t picking up my nobara install, etc. AI might be useless in other situations but computer commands and troubleshooting I think it’s the one place it excels.
I concur on retrodeck, just a way better experience than emudeck. I like just knowing when I feel like emulating I click retrodeck and boom, it’s all there. Way more cohesive.

Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I’m still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?
While I have you here too, I’ve just found one more bug that’s been bothering me… In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won’t select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It’s kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn’t really bring up anything conclusive. Here’s a clip to see what I’m talking about. Thank you again!
I’m in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn’t seem to replicate the issue…
Thanks for helping!
I’m on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it’s using wayland as well. I’m using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.I really can’t peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I’ve only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that…Ok, I’m not sure why I didn’t try this, but I downloaded just the linux …exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What’s the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?
Thanks for the response, no dice though.

Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Android@lemdro.id•Huawei allegedly sold over 400,000 tri-fold Mate XT units alreadyEnglish6·6 months agoIncredibly so, so much that it kinda makes me doubt it. What causes foldable phones to be such a success in Asia? All my time in NA/EU and I’ve seen like 5 in the wild.

Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•4 Months After Launch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard Headlines PlayStation Plus March 2025 LineupEnglish11·7 months agoWere you a big dragon age beforehand? From what I can tell, it seems like old fans actually did like the game but newcomers (who I’m sure were the reason the game morphed so much) had a much colder reception. I loved dao, hated da2, and liked dai but still haven’t taken the plunge on this one.
Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Is anyone else playing Avowed? What are your thoughts so far?English1·7 months agoAny diehard pillars fans who have played it? For the most part it doesn’t seem super well received but I wonder how much of a bump it gets for being in the pillars franchise. I loved the first two and would love to continue my time in eora. Haven’t dived in yet mostly because of the price tag, waiting for it to get to at least $60

Valencia@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is coming to GOG this Spring!English8·8 months agoWow, that’s pretty perfect. Avoid all the launch bugs but still get to play somewhat early on to join in the launch hype. Maybe even a 10% launch discount…?
Total opposite for me. Could get lost in Kenshi, I watched a review on qud in bought it and was like uhh wtf do I do lol
