Quoting: devlandIf Wayland were a pie it would be filling up the house with a delicious aroma right now.
It still needs some more time in the owen but it's smelling good. :D

Been using it as my daily driver for 5 years, and have not had any issue beyond having to set a manual launch option for GoldenCheetah in almost 4. Though that has been mostly Gnome, even on Fedora KDE spin it was working well enough when working with that.

What I am trying to say is - sure, it does not work for everybody yet, but everybody should give it a try! And maybe report stuff that is not working...

Quoting: alexleducI have set the environment variable with an export so that it's permanent, but Steam doesn't seem to use it. I does work when ran from the command line with:
steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.5
or
STEAM_FORCE_DESKTOPUI_SCALING=1.5 steam

Launching it from a Plasma shortcut or just having steam start on boot ignores the environment variable (at least on X11)

How did you export it and how are you using steam? Exporting via your Desktop Environment should work better than in your .bashrc normal installations. If you use the flatpak, better use the local flatpak config (easiest in flatseal).

It seems to me that the big deal here is actually the chiplet design. Sure, it's not several compute chiplets, but the whole point is they can build it cheaper by reducing chip surface in 5nm, having the memory controller separate.

It remains to be seen if that comes with a performance hit, I am highly curious :happy:

Quoting: ArehandoroNextcloud is cool, but for people with scarce time, or zero knowledge, or too lazy, etc, they should offer a subscription as a service model (similar to what thegood.cloud does, but with full on functionality for emails, photo AI for organising them, etc). Otherwise, their market share will be still in the niche.

It is a very deliberate decision to separate the business of running the cloud from the development. And I am very sceptical about the feature creep of my beloved Nextcloud. First it became NC Hub with videoconf and groupware and all, now social media. I hope the core functionality does not get neglected, otherwise it's home-made extend before extinguish

Quoting: Nateman1000The rich class now has 100% control of the biggest discussion platform ever. Disgusting

What changed? Were the previous owners of twitter middle class? What discussion platform or media has ever not been owned by rich people? Already in ancient Athens, democracy was for the 10% wealthy people with citizenship.

I really don't get why so many people are cracking up about Musk buying twitter. For years, the platform has been a pit of narcissists convinced of their divine missions, moderated by "fact checkers" that care for nothing but conformity with their world view.
The only importance of twitter has been given by journalists, who are reading there all the time, because citing tweets is easier than doing real research, so they spun headlines out of a bunch of people using specific hashtags. Trump had mastered using twitter for effect long before Musk.

Why has this suddenly become a Problem?

Quoting: dpanterI'm a bit concerned what the endgame is for Embracer Group.

Extinguisher Group

Yeah, but that'll be a while. Wonder what will happen during the shift to Extender Group?

My guess is extending the franchises into new genres: Deus Ex: Mankind Presided will be a 4X where you lead mankind into space (and Human Prostitution that kind of graphic novel you hide on your steam profile), Thief will become a management sim where you can steal the labor of the working class, and Rave of the Tomb Raider is going to be your new favorite dancing game!

Or crossovers: Thief: deadly shadows of the Tomb Raider has definitely already appeared on a whiteboard in a meeting somewhere.

Quoting: minfaer- Fractional scaling and different scaling on multi-monitors at least in gnome require Wayland

Is that a limitation only with Nvidia?

No, it's purely Xorg vs Wayland. See the arch wiki describing how to potter around this. [External Link]

Huh, is not something that I frequently use, but it works OK here by default.
I have Gnome 3.36.8, two monitors on Xorg, one at 175% and the other at 150%.

That's interesting, I remember a Gnome dev writing that they cant implement it on X. What distro is it? And are you sure it's X (as in  echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE )?

Quoting: FlapI was waiting for Wayland to work on my Nvidia card, and now there is a possibility that my card is too old :/ I had Kepler GTX660ti and later I upgraded to GTX970 on maxwell, but looking at how slow it takes to get any support on NVIDIA I'm skeptical. Is it the same with AMD GPUs?

If you mean for wayland: no, that has been running fine for years.
If you mean in general: There are ups and downs. Freesync over HDMI for example took forever...

Quoting: scaineIt feels like the technology that's permanently "just around the corner". I just wish it had some kind of selling point - something that made me want to try it, other than vague "better architecture" back-end stuff that I'm meant to care about, but don't, on my single-user system. Instead, there's a list of quirks relating to screen sharing, keyboard overlays, proprietary apps and Nvidia or KDE incompatibilities.

- Fractional scaling and diferent scaling on multi-monitors at least in gnome require Wayland
- Gamescope - even if you run it in an X session, it is a wayland compositor
- Active developers that fix upcoming issues

Maybe none of these apply to you, but to other end users, they do.
