Huh, interesting. I have seen the black window thing before but only with electron apps, and those can be told to use in-proc GPU to get around that issue. I assume that’s not the issue you had.

I was more wondering like what apps, since I’ve not had trouble myself.

Hadn’t heard of labwc, will have to check it out if I run into issues, thanks.

What’s stopping you from using wayland, out of interest?

If gentoo stopped being maintained, I guess I’d find something else.

Yeah, I admitted in another comment that it may only be for Dynamics F&O.

Sadly not.

Couldn’t tell you, I don’t know what AL is. Dynamics is actually a bunch of different enterprise apps loosely lashed together with twine, so X++ might only be for Finance & Operations.

Fun fact, making extensions for this requires you to learn a new language called X++ that is based on .net framework 4.7. Development is done only on azure-hosted VMs that contain the application code and sql server and web host and visual studio with the special X++ build tools, all on one host that runs like shit at your expense.

And any platform that wants to allow adult content would have a viable means to secure funding. You can’t overstate how far the chilling effects of VISA et al’s anti-porn stance reaches.

What’s their stance on porn?

Red Hat, back when that was a distro. It was a long time ago now and my toying with it didn’t last long; and began an obsession with hardware RAID…

I just really like portage, I guess. I know how to use it, and learning how to do the same thing in guix doesn’t offer any benefits that I know of that matter to me, yet. Maybe one day.

I use Gentoo, and atomic just doesn’t seem like a fit for me. That said I could see it being great for people who don’t tinker. If I were to get a family member to use linux I might pick an atomic distro.

Man I picked the best time to take a serious shot at daily driving desktop linux. Most of what I want just works and new stuff is always just around the corner. Just got NTsync on my preferred kernel, now wayland session restore is coming.

Star Citizen runs just fine under linux. For the most part, anyway. Being under active dev it breaks occasionally, but the Linux User Group has always gotten it working again so far.

I would recommend using Wine directly over using Lutris right now, but that’s an option you can pick in this script. Join the discord if you have trouble, people are friendly there if you’re polite.

Don’t use Proton/Steam for it.

I still cannot believe half of you maroons voted for this. So now doge has a serious .gov DNS entry.

I mean that literally, btw. I cannot believe half of you voted for this, it’s impossible. If it turns out there really was election fraud this time I will be completely unshocked.

Would this allow apps like Solaar or Piper to work without having a udev rule allow the seat user and plugdev groups RW access to all logitech /dev/hidraw* nodes?

I am not gonna use SteamOS. But if a bunch of regular folk do, then it might convince peripheral and game makers it’d be worth putting in a modicum of effort to support linux. That’s why I’m excited for SteamOS.

Yep. :P

I have research to do, I see.
