  • The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

    Why the fuck do people upvote this misinformation? They held primaries literally this year, which is information everyone can trivially look up

  • EA / Respawn now block Apex Legends from running on Linux and Steam Deck
  • Some day it will make it's way to banking apps/sites being unusable on OSes other than approved "secure" ones.

    That day was years ago. Many banking apps refuse to start if you even just have your bootloader unlocked, and some banking websites only support Chrome, some really crappy ones even only Chrome or Edge on Windows specifically.

  • What cursors do you use on Wayland?
  • The real one? It was fine on Xorg though

    When an app (in your case, Steam) uses X11 APIs to move the cursor, that of course works on Xorg, but Xwayland merely emulates it - so it moves the X11 pointer for X11 apps, but not the pointer from the Wayland compositor.

    Some compositors allow Xwayland to request moving the real pointer instead of doing emulation, but River apparently doesn't.

  • What cursors do you use on Wayland?
  • I have some problems with X11 cursors and that's quite normal with Wayland obviously

    It's not. There is no Wayland specific cursor format, it's all just images on disk, and the most widely used format hasn't changed away from Xcursors yet.

    For example, my cursor can become invisible if my screen sleeps

    That's either a compositor or driver bug, please report it (as I've never seen that on Plasma, to your compositor first).

    Additional controllers that control mouse cursor don't control X11 cursor, however they still work, I just don't know where the cursor is unless it highlights something.

    That's because it moves the X11 pointer but not the real one. A cursor theme can't change that.

  • Trying to find a solution to a use case where I need to disable certain display outputs or focus one single display temporarily.
  • If the KVM tells the PC that the TV has been disconnected, then you can just disable the other screens in the display settings while the TV is connected, and it'll just work. Which screens are enabled or disabled is remembered depending on the currently connected displays.

  • KDE cares about your input [devices]
  • long press for imitating a right click, but text selection with popup copy/paste/etc buttons would also be useful.

    Unfortunately that's not something that can be done system wide, apps have to handle that themselves.

    afaik not packaged for any distro

    It's packaged in every widely used distro.

  • Valve Engineer Mike Blumenkrantz Hoping To Accelerate Wayland Protocol Development
  • Debian

    ... is not something you should ever use on a desktop PC. Due to its eternally very outdated nature and not even shipping bugfix updates**** it is not a good fit for anything but servers.

    Wayland, for some reason, couldn't handle 4 monitors, with one above the other three.

    "Wayland" doesn't handle monitors at all. What (because of Debian, wildly outdated) desktop did you use?

    Oh, and the biggest issue I had with Windows was copied straight into Linux. I want my (single) taskbar on a monitor that isn't my primary.

    Not a Linux issue, but a problem with the desktop environment you chose. KDE Plasma allows you to configure panels in any way you want.

  • YouTube TV on steamdeck with more than 720p
  • Yes, there's an addon for Firefox that gives you Netflix 1080p without any downsides, probably just by changing the user agent for Netflix.

    Really shows how utterly useless the restrictions are.

  • Why does Maliit work on desktop?
  • The virtual keyboard is hidden by default, unless you're using touch. You can change that by setting the KWIN_IM_SHOW_ALWAYS=1 environment variable, until there's a proper setting for it

  • Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow?
  • The github repo has tons of issues about the problems caused by the hacks (from the cursor not being recorded, to it not working in Flatpak, not working with virtual displays, to even preventing graphical sessions from starting!) with the suggested solution of just using the remote desktop portal... I don't know what the problem is, but it's not a lack of knowledge.
