Installing Linux bare onto a Chromebook involves unplugging the internal battery (or buying a cheap special USB thing) to disable the hardware write protection and flashing a custom BIOS. Some models have issues with basic things like sound output not working through speakers or headphones or both. From experience I don’t recommend.
If you still really want to though there are two websites that are really useful and should have up to date information.
I just cloned the existing rule for Elden Ring as a custom rule, but changed the extension to match the co-op save.
I don’t know about other people, but the only thing I don’t like about Signal is that it is centralized. It seems to be the only option to actually get everything right for security though from what I hear.
Old games don’t use “HDR” the same way we use it today. In old games, enabling HDR makes the lighting calculations in the game engine have infinite range which will then be mapped onto SDR colorspace, which is all software and very much supported in Linux.
If anything the screenshots show a gamma calibration issue. From my experience on Linux native Team Fortress 2, the in-game gamma slider does not do anything.
I’m on a 4770k and GTX 980 as well but I’m really feeling the pain because all the newer games I want to play are CPU bottlenecked.
They want to get to the equivalent of vim’s :
Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.
I use a PS5 controller connected through an 8bitdo USB adapter 2. It works great and has a much more stable connection compared to the bluetooth adapter I used to use. I’ve had no issues using it in xinput mode on Linux; games pick it up as a normal xbox controller and just work. The adapter also works great for bringing your own contoller to friends’ houses for any console party games without having to do the bluetooth pairing roundup minigame. The only real issues I have with it is that there’s no auto disconnect when it’s idle, and as you mentioned the firmware flashing tools are all Windows only.
Add-ons work just fine. You can even get a native version of the add-on manager Minion from Flathub. Not all of addons support the gamepad input mode, but that’s the same situation it is on Windows.
I agree he didn’t do a good job evangelizing Linux. He made a video about his experiences with it, but I do think it’s representative of someone googling and first time trying Linux on their own without a guide friend to tell them, “oh you can do it this way now.” Him ultimately sticking with it in spite of that for data sovereignty is kind of the whole point of Free Software so I can respect that.
I like his other channels for drums / drum history (Drum Thing) and cars (Garbage Time), but notably the main DankPods channel has 1.65 million subs which could bring a load of new people’s attention to Linux.
I use gifski
It’s designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif
To be fair on most Android devices sideloading isn’t a very meaningful term, but on locked down devices like iOS it is.
The new X branded chips have the same TDP as the previous non X chips (65w), so my guess would be that we are more likely to see some XT branded chips that try to push more performance instead. The 7000 X chips ranged from 105w to 170w.
Closest thing I can think of would be the tags system from DWM iirc or AwesomeWM or on Wayland RiverWM. They can be used like traditional workspaces but you can have a number of workspaces (tags) active at once. However, they are more merged and tiled together instead of overlayed on top which sounds like what the special workspace would do. At the time I used AwesomeWM I never really used the tags system to it’s full potential and only used it like traditional workspaces.
That is only temporary though and does not set the default.
Can you link the original quote? I feel like there is a lot of context missing here.
What is wrong about it?
iirc mandatory Client Side Decorations is only a Gnome on Wayland thing and everyone else has support for both Client and Server Side Decorations.
Chromebooks are locked down yes, but they do give you the keys. It involves unplugging the internal battery to be able to modify the hardware write protection, entering dev mode to disable the write protection, and then flashing a Coreboot port onto the firmware. Even then, a lot of basic things may or may not work once you’re booted into Linux. From experience I don’t recommend.
