Does that mean i can finally remove "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true

and it will be able to update itself?

this method worked well though. I just did my regular package updates when i felt like and discord was outdated until then.

nice, but i seem to lose about 2-4% perf when i bring mangohud overlay up in games.
with steam overlay fps thing ther's no perf drop.

Very strange..i must be the weirdo then. For me the text in the middle of the screen makes my eyes hurt more because i have to watch only one point of the screen consantly without moving my eyes that much.
and yeah i agree that having line of text from one end 16:9 sceeen to another is not ideal either but at least double the current squished size would be good.

anyway i guess people are different

Quoting: VigilNot everyone displays one program at a time taking up the whole monitor. Some people have multiple programs side by side on their widescreen monitor.

Sure, your filemanager scales perfectly depending on the window size. So thats not the point. Sites should scale a bit better, given 16:9 is still the most popular aspect ratio for desktops.

I mean we could have the navigation bars on the left side and then the rest of the content stretched more.
would be very readable imo. I just don't like scrolling that much.

something like youtube has for example.. with navigation bar on the left.. though youtube has gone worse over times also so i have to use the rowfixer extension to have more videos in row.

edit: i think its just because everyone designs the sites for mobile scrolling or something these days. I could be wrong ofc.

Why on earth is there so much empty space. Everything is squished into the middle. I have my monitor in landscape not portrait ffs.
well thats not steam only issue ofc. Every freaking site does that these days :(

Quoting: EhvisI ran it for some time a good while back. Too many issues with compositor with only good old "compiz" really doing everything I needed it to do. But that too degraded over time until I just had to leave it. It always felt like they did not just stick to traditional desktop paradigms, but stuck with old tech as well. How is it doing with Wayland?

theres picom option these days (MATEs own software rendering compositor is bad yeah). But i personally don't care or use compositor at all. Snappy and responsive desktop without any fluff animations is what i value more.

Quoting: JarmerMate itself is still stuck on x isn't it? With all the distros dropping x and going wayland only, if mate doesn't migrate to full wayland support as cinnamon is doing, will it even have a future at all?

there is experimental wayland support also but it's very basic and broken.

What distros are dropping X11 support? there are still things that dont work on wayland some people require, so i doubt X will go anywhere soon. If that time comes we will see.

Quoting: PhlebiacWhat's the attraction of MATE over Cinnamon or current GNOME with classic-look extensions? Serious question, not trying to start any desktop wars.

I'm using MATE on arch. The attraction for me is that the thing just works without breakages or problems. I know exactly how it behaves from years of using it and it does exactly what i need it to do without any problems.

will have to wait several years if its infected with denuvo on release though (and hopefully gets removed later).
