Seriously. I’ve spent more time maintaining my debian home server than I have my two arch installs combined.

Yeah, I briefly tried out Noctalia, Caelestia and DMS and chose DMS. They all feel a bit too bloated for me, but on this PC I can’t be bothered to setup all the utilities manually. It has worked just fine but I can unfortunately feel the QT framework.

Currently using niri. It’s not easy to explain, but you could say it takes GNOME’s concept of infinite horizontal workspaces and applies it to individual windows.

I don’t really like to talk about it on here because people are very hostile towards GNOME and its users, but I used it (extensionless, tweakless) for about 4 years up until recently. Very comfy and efficient workflow in my opinion. I think a lot of people don’t take the time to understand how it works, they get frustrated and want their alt-tabbing and minimizing back. Either way I don’t really care. No emotional attachment to any DE, and I use neither GNOME nor Plasma right now.

chat are we cooked?

For those unaware, the new rare blade MOMO is a prominent character in all three Xenosaga games.

Interesting read, thank you for sharing!

Nice! Slow Heat here, from the same album. Can’t get enough of it.

I’ve been daily driving niri on my gaming PC for about as long as you’ve been away. The only problem I have now and then is games will run in tiled mode, while the game itself is fullscreen, so I’m only seeing the left half of the game. Mod+Shift+F has always fixed it so far, and it’s rare enough that I haven’t looked into making a window rule. I don’t use Steam but I’m not sure that matters.

There’s a lot of benefits but for me the biggest one is reduced lag

there’s a lot to unpack in that headline

Maybe the regular Trimui brick? Hammer is like a deluxe model afaik

I didn’t need to see that GNU logo today :) but I did

I don’t like grey though :(

The actual app Magic Earth is proprietary, but it uses OpenStreetMap

Thanks for the compassion and discussion today. I saw your other comment about keeping all virtual cards on the primary console and you’re 100% right. I’ve been mulling over this all day but that solution just… Didn’t occur to me. Thanks again!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. With this setting on, your primary console can now be locked out of games if you’re caught offline and without the virtual card. That wasn’t possible before.

Though I don’t understand your point about being offline. If you are using the current primary / secondary console, then you can’t play on secondary console unless you are online, right?

I could have explained better. My docked Switch is set as secondary console, which forces online checks. That’s fine because I never take it outside. My Switch Lite is set as primary console, which means it (used to be) able to play any downloaded games, no questions asked – if the connectivity check fails, it will just warn you that your cloud save status couldn’t be verified.

Say I have a virtual game card of Suika Game loaded in my docked Switch. I now need to leave home, so I close the game and bring my Switch Lite with me which has Suika Game downloaded. During lunch at work, I open my Switch Lite and start up the game. That used to be fine, but now there’s instead a prompt to move the virtual game card from my docked Switch at home to this one, which I can’t do because I don’t have internet at work. I forgot my digital copy of Suika Game at home even though it’s downloaded on the console I’m holding.

This is a hypothetical example, and sorry for the wall of text, but it’s a needlessly complicated system that is a net negative for the user.
