I wonder what distrotube is going to use from now on since he’s an arcolinux user. He recently made a video about turning dtos into an installscript bundled with a base arch iso, maybe he’ll use that?

Void? Alpine? Guix?

I’m not sure if they still are, but yeah i think they were made by sapphire as well. My vega was specifically a nitro+ though, so not a reference design.

Yeah openrgb is your best bet, but like others already pointed out it can be hit or miss. For example i used to have a sapphire nitro+ vega 64 and that thing never worked with openrgb in linux. They used a weird implementation that someone would have to reverse engineer in order to get it working, which to my knowledge never ended up happening. At the moment i’m using a reference rx 6950xt and it just worked straight away.

The only thing i know about vi is how to exit it lol.

Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would’ve expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.

You’ll have to give a source on that cause i can’t find anything about those cards being cheaper. I looked up bravely default and it’s a remaster of an old game, so it better not cost 90 bucks lmao. And the 90 price is coming from europe. Looks like the games will cost 90 euros in europe. Insanity.

Cartridges that only have a license on them. Nintendo is planning on killing off physical media just as much as any other company.

I thought wuthering waves was broken on linux because of anti-cheat

I personally do like all the eye candy, especially animations and round borders, but sometimes i do enjoy using compositors without any of that just as a change of pace. I also really like river for example.

I haven’t tried swaylock unfortunately, gtklock is the first wayland screenlocker i tried. Before that i think i was using i3lock-color on xorg, which also worked fine as far as i can remember, but the problem with xorg screenlocking is that it isn’t actually very safe. Also, i’m not sure what distro you are using, but if it is a systemd distro there is probably a better way to trigger the screenlocker. I’m not sure if that script works in that case because it might be elogind specific. elogind is used on distros like artix and void because they don’t use systemd. Elogind is basically just the logind part ripped out of systemd.

I recently finally configured my lockscreen again after switching to wayland. I’m using gtklock and so far it has been working really well. I’m using void linux with elogind installed, laptop suspends when closing the lid ootb. In order to trigger the lockscreen on suspend, i’m using a script placed in /etc/elogind/system-sleep, as described on the artix wiki

I like to imagine void linux is kinda like that one emo kid. No specific reason really, i guess void just sounds more edgy compared to other distro names.

I like it mainly because of the image protocol and supporting both x11 and wayland. I still have alacritty installed as well because i like how damn fast it is. If alacritty had proper image support i’d probably only be using alacritty, but they are both great terminal emulators.

I mean, it’s free with prime 🤷‍♂️. That does mean i have a prime subscription though, you got me there.

I have both lol, dual ultrawide setup. My main monitor is a 1440p 165hz ultrawide, and i have a 1080p 75hz ultrawide mounted above it that used to be my main monitor before i upgraded. A decent amount of games support ultrawide from my experience, but for some reason mostly japanese games often times don’t support it. Usually you can find guides to edit the exe to enable ultrawide support, but i haven’t had much luck with that myself. I don’t have an oled display or use hdr though, but from my understanding you might be able to make it work in games by using gamescope. For other types of content hdr isn’t really there yet, but the good news is that the required wayland protocol recently got merged, so it should be a matter of time before it will eventually be working. I usually always have atleast 2 windows open on my desktop next to each other, and ultrawide is really great for that because it gives each window more width to work with, so you have lots of space.

Yeah i must say i’m a bit confused at why youtubers are glazing this 9070 card so much. First of all like you said, prices are still not down to what they used to be before the first mining craze, second of all: why are they pretending that this is the first time amd has a decent answer to an nvidia 70 series card? From what i remember they always had cards that could compete with that, the problem was usually that they couldn’t compete with the 80/90 series cards (which is probably still going to be a problem now). I also don’t see how this is going to impact competition at all. Most people judging by steam surveys are buying 60 series cards, and those people also seem to keep insisting on buying nvidia instead of an amd equivalent, so i’m skeptical.

I personally don’t really care much about the init system. For most of my linux journey i was using arch, then void, then nixos, and now i’m back on void, so i jumped between systemd and runit for a bit. I never chose to use void because of its init system though, i just prefer its package manager. I found both systemd and runit to be fairly simple to use and it just gets out of my way. Poettering working for microsoft has concerned me a little bit, but if i’m being honest that’s just me wearing the tin foil hat. I will say though that at this point, if something were to happen to void and i had to move back to arch, i might try using artix just for the style points, and because of me already being familiar with runit anyway.
