If you have to know… Mostly Skyrim as of late . Been thinking of doing some questionable content at some point with a few friends

This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!

I have 2 PCs

my main one is full AMD running hyprland -5800X, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, etc.

My second PC is solely used for streaming and is running an old GTX 1070 for encoding purposes.

From what I can see, I’ve not really had any issues running hyprland on it. Though I will admit it doesn’t do much beyond running Carla, OBS, Qpwgraph, Firefox, discord and jack_mixer on specially designated workspaces. And it streams soley via EVGA Xr1 Lite capture devices. It does have desktop-portal-hyprland, just in case I want to capture my stream PCs desktop, but I don’t really use it much. It’s connected as a second input to my secondary monitor, and has a mirrored display on a small touch screen so I don’t have to swap monitor inputs too often, and can trigger scene changes with just a touch. The hardest part was getting the monitors to play nicely, as the touchscreen sits upside down.

Full specs of my second PC, as it’s quite old - Intel Core i5-4690, ASRock H97M pro4, 16GB Ram, EVGA GTX 1070, Intel 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Green 5400rpm HDD.

Conversely, failing to quick save us the bane of our existence.

If it’s unremoveable its probably been installed from the beginning.

Interesting, if it’s a native Wayland app, I’d guess the issue is just gnome problems then - from what I hear gnome is one of the poorest DEs for Wayland use, mainly because they refuse to support things the same way that everyone else agrees to, if at all. And they take a fair amount longer to deliberate and agree how to implement anything they do decide to support.

I’d think of looking at KDE, which is very functional at this point, or a wlroots based Compositor/WM, - hyprland seems like one of the more well supported window managers out of the ones using wlroots.

Let me guess… You’re running an X.Org based WM/DE?

X11 Doesn’t support fractional scaling properly . So some DEs will simulate it by scaling the apps the same way you scale a rasterized image like a PNG or JPEG, and as a result everything looks blurry. You’ll generally also have the same issue with XWayland apps on a Wayland display.

The best way to combat this? Try to use Wayland native apps as much as possible.

2nd best? Use non fractional values for scaling (x1 or x2 instead of x1.25)

Our class party’s were always “bring a plate” type parties - parents would give the kids a plate of something to contribute

It was the best.

imma decline this. My town is in the midst of a heatwave. It’s too fuckin’ hot.

Also the only bike in the family is a rusty piece with flat tires and the gears perpetually need adjusting. The chain is probably in awful need of lubrication.

Doesn’t mean it won’t either - most people won’t realise the computer is still usable, either by workarounds or installing a different OS - they’ll either trash the PC, recycle or sell it. Or keep using it not caring that its complaining constantly that it’s out of support. (And when they do, it’s “how can I get rid of this annoying error” not “how can I update this?” - they probably didn’t even read the error - and god forbid you manage to do the update, they won’t like it if you do)

Hell most people don’t even know Linux even exists, and a lot of them couldn’t even tell me what their operating system name is.

I’ve had relatives that try to ask what’s going on and say “I have 11” without elaborating that it’s windows 11. I remember years ago my aunt said I have version 97. Referring to, at the time the totally unrelated fact that she had Office 97 installed on her winXP machine. Took me ages to work out what she actually meant.

It’s like the XP olive theme with the vista/7 style widgets sidebar - all you need is the RPM style CPU usage gauges.

It was just a line…

A Taaag Line!

Sorry couldn’t help myself

Hmmmm… no signs saying you can’t do some donuts with a rear wheel drive car in the rocky patch. That should break all the windows. It may also have the bonus of breaking nearby people too.

Hey, that counts in my book!

Yes it was, but in some ways Nintendo still succeeded In what I believe is their goal - to scatter the developers.

By shutting down Yuzu, they fragmented everyone into forking their own copies and competing to become the next Yuzu.

What’s more of a threat to them? One emulator with thousands of contributors, or 1000 emulators with 2-5 contributors each?

The best thing about open source is the pooling of developers and resources. While forking is neither a good nor a bad thing, it does tend to break up the developer pool.

It could take anywhere from months to years if at all for everyone to finally settle on a single fork and get back to the level of developer pool that originally existed - then if that happens, Nintendo can come along and do it all over again, at least untill they don’t see the value in continuing.

This time without incorporated companies to hide behind! They can take our money directly!

Oh there will be forks across the git-verse. There’s no way there wouldn’t be.

Also does this create precedent? - they settled, its not like it actually went to court.

It may have also been the fact that they linked to instruction on how to rip prod.keys and system firmwares. Also their instructions on enabling running copyrighted ROMs - despite the fact that Ripping game ROMs and firmware is not (unfortunately arguably, due to licencing models and jurisdiction - you will own nothing and like it.) illegal so long as it’s for personal use.

They should’ve advertised it primarily as a testing and homebrew platform, and made sure not to make too much mention of the fact it can be used to play backups. Then they can at least play the ignorance card with more confidence.

Even then though, multi-billion yen company Nintendo probably would still pull this shit and drag, drag, drag the lawsuit out for forever and a day- draining lawyers fees of money. That being the case, settling is unfortunately the only option.
