Quoting: ShmerlJust tried Plasma 5.22 / frameworks 5.82.0 with the Wayland session and I get a weird issue when copying to clipboard works only every other time. I.e. Ctrl+C on something - works. Another time - it doesn't. Then it works, then again not.

Did anyone encounter such issue? Is it a bug or something isn't configured properly?

I'm going back to X11 session for now because this issue is extremely annoying.

Could be worse. A new 'feature' in Microsoft Teams makes it so if you try to copy a piece of text out of a code block, it copies the entire thing. Legit is making us all stab happy.

Quoting: slaapliedjeThere is still not really a reason to move to Wayland. Like sure maybe architecturally it's better. But as a user and needing my things to actually work correctly, then why would I move to Wayland?

The people who used to work on X11 don't want to any more. They only work on Wayland now. No one else has taken over the X11 work. Wayland will become adequate or it won't, but, either way, there's no viable alternative.

This isn't entirely true, they did just release some new Xinput updates. They're just not doing full releases like they used to.

Funny thing is, that was the WHOLE point in moving from XFree86 to Xorg. They wanted to make it more modular and so you could update individual pieces here and there without having to modify and do full releases.

Then someone got the bug and decided that Xorg was old, and we should have something shinier, but for some reason they didn't want to support features that 'nobody' used... then got a bunch of push back and then keep teetering on the fence about such features being added or not. X11 forwarding may not be used very often, but when you absolutely need it, it's one of those features that are literally impossible to find on any non-Unix platform. Sure beats having to remotely display an entire user interface, when you only need one application to run!

There are other just random things that don't work in Wayland. As I've pointed out elsewhere, specifically the Tomb Raider ports for Linux won't run on it. I was getting some errors from Shadow of the Tomb Raider for sure, until I switched to Xorg on my VCS.

Basically, 'It's not ready until it works for me' is a perfectly good reason not to switch to Wayland, but you have some individuals who think that if you're an Xorg user over Wayland that you're an evil scum. People are so weird. "think my way, or I hate you!" seems to have caused a lot of strife in history, you'd think some would just come to the conclusion 'hey, what works for you may not work for me' and leave it at that. :P

Like the Gnome vs KDE war, etc. Amiga vs ST. ST vs Mac... haha. the wars will always go on, it's just kind of weird.

Anyone try Subnautica? I haven't yet, but was talking to a co-worker who said the game was amazing, but he doesn't have a VR setup, so hasn't tried it yet there either. Sounds like one where you'd want to put some plastic down on your seat and have a pair of fresh underwear nearby, as you may thoroughly wet yourself.

Quoting: STiATInteresting, will have to check how much stamina blocking a ground slam takes.

In the end I liked the playstyle of dodging them and hitting them in the butt.. was fun to me (more fun than arrows)..

Probably will still kill them that way even if blocking turns out more efficient... for the fun of it

I usually shoot the trolls in the crotch. I also want to be able to make rugs out of their skin. Would be sweet to have a self-healing rug.

The modern Plasma System Monitor replaces the old KSysguard

What are they drinking??? This is a completely backwards decision. KSysGuard is the only answer Linux has to TaskManager. Plasma System Monitor is on the same level of usefulness as gnome-system-monitor - better than nothing but insufficient for power users.

What TF are you talking about? The new System Monitor is awesome for a detailed look.
I still have KSysGuard on CTRL+ESC though because it's better for a quick look and maybe some killing ^^

BTT: YAY, looking forward to it hitting manjaro testing :D
Love KDE and Kudos to all you contributors! <3

Nothing beats 'slay $user' :P

Quoting: einherjarThanks to Mariusz Chwalba and Liam for this interesting interview!
I hope there is more to come.

Perhaps you can interview Bernd from egosoft? Their X-games are great and the Linux support of this company is also very well.

I was thinking an interview with the Valheim developers would be nice, and if so, ask them if there actually are some weird quirks in the Linux vs Windows client.

Dude I play with keeps blaming that I'm running it on Linux for some of the weird bugs we've encountered, like I couldn't push a boar without sliding around. Or one of the mods we use was glitched so I could build up from the chests, but then it wouldn't actually consume the materials. So the game allowed me to cheat. :P

But yes, excellent interview! Would be awesome to be able to see more of these. He confirms that cross-platform development really is beneficial to finding bugs, and makes it overall easier to develop anyhow.

Also neat to see a game have more Linux purchases than Mac :)

Quoting: AnzaCome think of it, releasing full game as a demo does have at least one additional benefit. As demos are usually hacked together usually in a hurry, they might not give good indication if full game will work properly on your computer (or if the final game is as fun as the demo). In this you can be pretty sure it will work.

There's always refunds, but with demo like this you don't have to go through that hassle.

I still remember the Battlefield 1942 demo would run perfectly smooth on people's systems at the time. Then when the full game released, it ran like crap on just random hardware. Like some lower end systems would run it fine, and higher end systems were sluggish, some driver conflict or feature or something. Took them a while to get it patched right, but was such a weird performance difference between the demo and full release...

I imagined this is another reason that demos kind of died off...

Quoting: MohandevirSteamPal with an optionnal eGPU docking station... Mmmmmm... :wink:

Yeah, I'm not sure how the Switch does this, I think the Dock basically just allows for more overall power to the system when Docked, so as not to eat the battery when undocked.

This brings up a question, has anyone been able to get eGPUs to work in Linux? Last time I tried with mine, it didn't work all that well.

Quoting: starfarerPeople harp on about how great Wayland is. Unfortunately I am not willing to move away from KDE and it doesn't look like KDE will work with Wayland very well very soon [External Link]. :/

There is still not really a reason to move to Wayland. Like sure maybe architecturally it's better. But as a user and needing my things to actually work correctly, then why would I move to Wayland?
