Quoting: GustyGhostI got it to build but not to run. Some error with default-run in the .toml file. Their documentation could use some love.

Quoting: mao_dze_dunYet, they can't be bothered to ad HEVC/h.265 support for desktop to desktop streaming... How can they be THIS lazy?

I can imagine why they don't go there: it's a patent racket, it adds latency, acceleration is not portable or predictable enough.

Just wait a few days for it to be packaged in the PPA.

I usually check for release availability on the CLI:
apt policy nvidia-settings

Here's a pirate I did a while ago, using Inkscape, for a forum avatar.

I've hit a wall in a few games: a literal wall in DeadCore (well, several of them, hurtling towards me), a nest of warpers with a shaman in Shadow Warrior, and the Absolution in Freedom Planet. I like those games, obviously, but it's frustrating.
