Perpetual Motion finally achieved!
  • I can't relate to these, but Rust is lacking in some aspects that's no secret. That's why it barely has GUIs or object oriented coding. It's usable for both, but why would you. You don't have to use rust for what it's not ment to be used at.

    it's trying it's best tho, lol. I wonder if in X years, it'll be like c++, a Frank Einstein of syntax to be usable for everything.

  • Perpetual Motion finally achieved!
  • Isn't that the point? It doesn't let you write bad code, thus when you did manage to get something compiled it's close to C speed. Also I kinda like that it tells me ebery lil mistake, it reminds me when I forgot to delete/change something

  • What do you think about this?
  • I believe some things I'd also get downvoted for, but telepathy? The ability to read one's mind at will? Without any probing or device? That's far even for me. And I heed the fucking flat Earth theory.

  • KDE keeps bugging out.

    I haven't yet learned how to replicate the bug, it keeps happening at seemingly random intervals. Right now it happened after walking away from my pc for a while, and when I got back it happened.

    I find my taskbar (Set to be on the bottom) at the top, when I open the edit tool it says that it's still at the bottom. The add widget button just doesn't do anything. The notifications are at the middle of the screen (however they are set to be bottom right).

    This all started happening after I updated to plasma6. I searched online and found that typing killall plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell into alt+space fixes it for a while. But it's not a permanent fix.

    Also pre-update I didn't had any problem with my screen going blank while watching Youtube, but now my screen goes to sleep when I watch fullscreen Youtube.

    I'm sorry that I got no more information, if I should supply some logs or screenshots, please tell me and I will.

    [SOLVED] Trouble running Baldur's gate 3 on Arch.

    The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I'm not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it's relatively new. I'm talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped:

    ! !

    Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don't think it's a hardware limit.. if this can't run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn't stutter.

    Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as:

    !I can run this .exe natively. I'm sure I can't so what's going on?

    Anyways, thankfully mangohud got me and tells me that I'm using proton-experimental 9.0. (on the prev. screenshots, I had forced proton enabled, stutters the same)

    I tried using steam tinker, and it says: "using proton-unknown-958".

    I have no idea what information more to give, I just typed out things that might be related to the issue. If something's unclear or if I should supply more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.

    SOLVED

    thanks for the tips, this one was solved by u/Leopard1907 over on Reddit.

    it was my driver, and these two commands:

    • sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
    • sudo pacman -R amdvlk lib32-amdvlk

    When the votes are on the right, and in compact mode the downvotes fall offscreen.

    I'm on Samsung Galaxy A32 4G.

    !1000007506

    !1000007507

    The post has 6 up- and 4 downvotes. On the homepage I only see the upvotes, not the sum of both. I can only see the downvotes when I open the post.

    Is there other options outside of Linear and Tactile?

    My friend says that there is, but I told him to show me the it's chart, and he said that it's not about that (?).

    So here I go asking: Is there any other type of chart (g/mm) outside of the two?

    Clipboard randomly clearing

    I just started noticing it like half an hour ago. I'm fairly new to this OS, so I have no idea where to look for any logs or anything.

    I took a screenshot with Spectacle, and instead of it putting it into the clipboard it cleared it. Then when chatting on Discord (thru Vencord) and pressing ctrl-A & ctrl+X to write another message first, ctrl+V didn't paste as my clipboard was empty. the screenshot happened multiple times, text only once. I can't replicate it. I'm on Arch KDE, checked the clipboard setting, I don't have a hotkey that I may be fat-fingering. I tried rebooting.

    I tried abusing the clipboard while writing this, and just to mock me everything worked. So this might be a spam post without me even knowing, in that case I'm sorry; But please tell me how I can look at the logs, maybe I can catch it red handed still.

    edit: no problem since, I haven't done anything. Sorry for wasting your time.

    Follow-up for surround sound config.

    well it's less about surround and more about sinks in general. I have 3 hardware sinks. My headphones, my monitor and my mic for some reason has a headphone jack. When I pick the virtual surround sink as default it works perfectly. However the device I'm hearing the sounds from is uncontrollable. It likes to choose my microphone, so I get no sound. The way I figured out I can temporarily change this is by setting the default to my headset, and back to surround.

    Now I wouldn't want to do this every time I start listening to anything. How can I make it so that the virtual sink's output is at a specified device. Or alternatively I looked into, maybe I can just disable these unused sinks, turns out I can only turn off alsa ports, which won't do as it'd disable my microphone's source part as well.

    Arch, kde, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber is installed but I didn't find a use for it so far

    and I haven't even touched Eqs and bitrates. I fear I'm gonna post a lot. You guys are the only reliable source fr, I read a bunch of docs on a bunch of sites, asked any way I could two AIs.. nothing. is it even possible to do this?

    How do I get virtual sorround sound working?

    You have heard the story "I have moved to Linux (arch btw).", well.. this is also my story. Anyways I have problems with my headset's virtual surround. I realized that almost all of the drivers are just simply not working on Linux, but also that there are a bunch of alternatives. I have a HyperX cloud 2 (it was cheap), it's 5.1 by default and 7.1 if toggled. Since I switched to Linux it has been stereo only. And I also feel like the sound quality is worse.

    I heard somewhere that any headset can be virtual surround if configured correctly. And they sell "gaming junk" because people don't know of this. I'm writing this so that hopefully some of you can teach me how to make any headset surround. I feel like I also must learn how to do this if I'm planning on gaming on Linux.

    PS: I tough about buying an actual good headphone, but if it's not capable of surround than that's kind of a deal-breaker. I don't play that much, but I remember playing shooters on stereo and they were unplayable, I wouldn't like to lock myself out of those kinds of games.

    Real quick question about the "break"

    I'm studying programming, and I don't agree woth my teacher. She basically said that if we use break (and continue too maybe) our test is an instant fail. She's reasoning is that it makes the code harder to read, and breaks the flow of it or something. (I didn't get her yapping tbh)

    I can't understand why break would do anything of the sorts. I asked around and noone agreed with the teacher. So I came here. Is there a benefit to not using breaks or continues? And if you think she's wrong, please explain why, briefly even. We do enough down talking on almost all teachers she doesn't need more online.

    Package up and transport a linux?

    I have a simple wish, with a probably not so simple solution.

    I recently started with linux (Arch kde), I'm loving it, I quickly realized that this OS and almost all apps, are highly customizable, I'm laving that as well. My problem is the unavoidable reinstalls and that I have a laptop.

    Is there any way that I can save all my configs, apps and my apps' configs, and transfer them over to my laptop, while almost having a very quick back-up. I realize that I could turn it into an ISO somehow, but that wouldn't work (I think) because my laptop has vastly different hardware. I also realize the partitioning problem. So in my idealistic world, there should be a solution that requires a clean install (from scripts or manual) and some .sh file, that installs all my apps, pastes all my configs and reboots.

    So is this possible? and if yes, how should I go about this? did someone make a tool for this already? Or(!) can I burn it to a flash and the drivers will correct themselves/I'll deal with them later?

    For final words I'd like to say that I'm far from finished configurating, but I'd like to know the proccess, to not shoot myself in the foot somewhere along the way of configing, thanks!

    Where can I find a desktop Lemmy app?

    Hello all, I've only used lemmy on mobile so far there has been a million and one posts about apps for lemmy for mobile. My plan was to lurk and read something about pc lemmy, and set it up, but I haven't found any. What can I use on desktop to browse lemmy?

    I know that I can just type my instance and have lemmy, but I wont be able to post in private, defederated, etc. communities. Even so if my instance is down, I'd be just locked out.

    So basically my wish is to port whatever I have on mobile to pc. A multi-instance & multi-account lemmy client, bonus points if it has a bunch of features, like blocking, or if it's pretty, but that goes without saying. Even a link to a same, but older, question will help, Thanks in advance.

    What do you recommend a video editing PC to have?

    Hello, me again. I'd like help in workstations. I see all of you jump to pcpartpicker whenever someone wants techsupport, but I'm just looking for general ideas or spitballing. Like whether Amd or Nvidia or Intel.

    The usecase will be to try out videoediting and maybe 2d animating. There will also be unavoidable gaming on this device. I'd describe it as a hybrid gaming and workstation.

    My logic instantly went to RAM and VRAM. as that should be the focus, but I don't know whether the speed or the quantity is more important. I also don't know if Amd or Nvidia is better at videoencoding.

    I'd like tips like this please. NVMe for speed, hdd for capacity, or sata ssd for a mix? recommended MT/s for ram with channels? What gpu cores does premiere use? do I even need to worry about 2d animating? does the x3d modells of amd cpus any good for this usecase? do core # metter or only the GHz?

    closing point; I know how to pc, but idk how to workstation pc as I only messed with highend/mid gaming pcs. Thanks for any info in advance!

    I need help buying a mic

    I'll be brief. I've been looking for a mic for a long time now. My current one started dying and is really bad.

    All I'd like is some shock absorption, for keyboard and stuff to not be earrape.

    Some sort of mic arm, I wouldn't like to take space up infront of my keyboard, and to put it behind it would probably be a bad idea.

    On another note is: please don't say HyperX, I don't really like that brand.

    mt budget is: as cheap as possible, but still not shit quality, AKA whatever you'd buy
