I don’t have much experience with AMD gpus on Arch.

I was looking at the Arch AMD GPU wiki page and it looks like you might also need to run

pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon mesa lib32-mesa xf86-video-amdgpu

But admittedly there’s a lot about AMD GPU drivers I don’t understand. Like how to verify your driver in installed correctly.

You might also want to try out amdgpu_top or radeontop to monitor what the GPU is doing.

Would need a bit more context too help diagnose.

First question is if you’re HDMI or DisplayPort cable is actually plugged into the GPU or if it’s plugged into the monitor.

Now depending on your desktop environment (DE), you should be able to verify what aspect ratio your display is actually set to by going to your display settings. Again this depends on your DE, how to do this in gnome is different than how to do it in kde.

You can also verify if your game is set to output 2160p (4k). Sometimes game settings get reset depending on the game. Also make sure the game is actually using your GPU. Maybe try a linux native game like super tux cart just to help diagnose the issue.

Also how did you verify that you have the latest drivers for your gpu

I love freetube for my android and Linux PCs.

If someone is complaining about windows, or raising privacy concerns that Linux would solve, or just talking about price options, then I think it’s perfectly fair to mention Linux.

Right now the biggest issue with Linux is that some software is not made for it. With more Linux market share, devs have a higher incentive to build software for Linux. Like imagine if videogame devs didn’t think they needed windows to work, or Mac to run adobe.

I agree…I Linux game in Arch btw.

Ehh, it’s not like Linux is perfect. And if we want more Linux adoption it’s good to have different perspectives and be made aware of things that perhaps we haven’t thought of. It could be useful to vent about Linux through memes if we can have proper discourse and are willing to work collaboratively to solve issues.

You know, you can be critical of a government without using racist slurs against the people from that country. Not everyone from China is part of the CCP.

I’m talking about not needing anything installed on the server though. Like you don’t need sudo. If the server has ssh then you can use Emacs to edit a file on it

I used to think this way. Until I found that with emacs you can edit any file on an SSH enabled computer remotely. Meaning that not only are you no longer constrained by what the computer has installed. But you can use your personality configured editor while editing that file. It’s called tramp.

BTW, with Emacs you can use vim key bindings evil-mode, so don’t stress about that.

I love kagi but I don’t think it actively filters out ai generated content.

I know when searching for pictures you can disable AI generated images.

I think the hard part for a search engine is that unless there is some kind of identifying mark on the content, how do they know that an ai didn’t write a top 10 list of pastebin alternatives?

You are right that something that most others will host for free are going to be censored since otherwise they might have some kind of responsibility legally. I learned this while trying to diagnose an issue with my cars door lock.

At the end of the day, anything you ask some hosted llm is being recorded so if you actually want something uncensored or something that gives you a sense of freedom then the only real option is to self host.

Luckily, it’s very simple and can even be done on a low spec device if you pick the right model. The amount and type of ram you have a will dictate how many parameters you can run at a decent speed.

Here’s 3 options with increasing difficulty (not much however) written for Arch Linux: https://infosec.pub/comment/13623228

organic artisanal buttplug business

OK… I’m interested… Is it like organic rubber? I hope they don’t test on animals, although…

Interesting, I haven’t had that experience much myself. It might be a bad port to Linux?

I wonder if there is a launch option that you could set that would help? It might also depend on your GPU and drivers. But to your point, it’s much less hassel to just tell steam to use proton and not have those issues.

While I agree that proton on its own doesn’t make gaming on Linux a “first class experience”, it does sometimes perform better than the original native “first class” Windows OS that the game was originally intended to be played on. Which is just funny, but also shows all the work that has gone into proton.

Game devs need more Linux players before they make major industry wide changes, but proton makes those numbers have a chance of increasing by making the games playable on Linux.

Another reason why I wouldn’t call gaming on Linux a “first class experience” yet is controller and input driver issues. Which can be worked around like if I open a game I bought on gog through steam and use the steam input methods but I shouldn’t have to use steam to play a gog game with a controller.

You’re not wrong. That sugar and sodium is going to do a lot to the human body. However I think we should understand what plastics (especially when heated) do too.

This is a very complex and nuanced issue seeing as plastics as a class of materials can vary greatly in its manufacturing process and if any coatings are used. Some materials have varing use cases, also new materials, coatings, and process combinations are created constantly. Additionally a material might not have noticeable effects on a person for 10+ years.

The American government could pass legislation and studies could be done for both old and new materials and manufacturing process with an introduction of an approval and inspection process. However, did you know that worrying about what corporations do to Americans is “woke”?

Also, fuck Google. I’ve been removing the word from my lexicon. I say, let me search (or research) that instead

Great list, I would just suggest to recognize all dark patterns. It’s not like only shopping sites use them.

I’ve never personally used a GUI package manager. I just install an aur helper like yay and use the terminal, using the Arch repo websites to help look for packages when I need to.

I’m not sure why it might be bad to use discover. It’s in the extra repo, not even from the aur. I would say you should backup, timeshift, and try it. You can always do a reinstall if you break something.

I did find this article which is not too old. https://www.debugpoint.com/arch-linux-gui-package-managers/

Out of this above list, I would try Bauh.

I’m always angry at funko for being a shit company that sells shit plastic products whose main purpose is to take up shelving space, everytime I’m reminded they exist.

Iwantmyname is a budget registar so I’m not surprised at their non effort. I’ve used them to help see what domains were available but never actually did business with them and I don’t recommend you do.
