    looks like a bad Nvidia driver that isn’t playing nice with Niri since it looks like Niri triggered it. Try installing temporarly another Wayland WM like say River or Hyprland and see if it still happens. Bet it’s not going to happen on River, bet it will happen on Hyprland.

    Reinstall your Nvidia drivers, update your kernel, update Niri if it isn’t already up to date.

    People thinking this is a joke or laughing at this don’t seem to remember when Apple released what was essentially a sock for your ipod video. or how about the $1000 monitor stand? or the wheels for your Powermac that cost hundreds of dollars.

    This is Apple folks. If they can find a way to nickle and dime their gullible cultish user base they will do it. They’ve been doing it since…well since the company was founded.


  • What helped me when I was a kid were games like Quake 3 Arena, Worms, and Mechwarrior 2, 3, and 4.

    Q3A was because of the speed. you had to be fast with the mouse if you hoped to compete. Add to the fact that the bots in Q3A, at the time anyways, were quite good. you can play it offline with bots or even over a local LAN.

    Again going back to a LAN staple but Worms is also good. you need precision with the mouse on that one. lots of geometry at play.

    Finally the Mechwarrior games which really emphasize the mouse and keyboard combination. Torso Twisting and Flicking, positioning of your legs in regards to your torso, etc. really helps with mouse coordination.


  • I play EVE Online soooooo this happens daily? multiple times a day?

    The political dramas in that game could put actual real world political drama to shame. I mean take what’s currently happening in game right now. A massive alliance named Pandemic Horde decided to evacuate the space they held. fair enough, the issue? Leadership made the announcement they were leaving said space and then…leadership quit. in the same message. Thus all the regular members, literally hundreds of them if not well over 1000, were left on their own in hostile space with all their assets stuck in stations that were now actively being shot at and destroyed by opposing alliances. The players are essentially stuck because all the upper leadership of Pandemic Horde have the massive capital ships that they could have used to save their members by getting them out of system or aiding in destroying the attackers but they said nope, we’re not going to do that. It’s a cluster fuck.






  • I…I don’t understand. Why would you use Bazzite for software development and not gaming when user is not a gamer but just likes KDE?

    you can literally put KDE on anything. Bazzite isn’t friendly to installing anything that isn’t a flatpak or whatever.

    Just use a different distro. you don’t need Bazzite. Switch them to like Fedora KDE or something.

    And to people in this thread trying to push a camel through a pin hole…why? you’re talking about setting up VMs and Distroboxs or just using flatpaks on Bazzite when the most painless solution is to just switch distros.

    You picked the wrong distro, just switch them to something more appropriate for what they want to do.


  • I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.

    So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.





  • Guix.

    My Dad wanted to switch to Linux because he always liked watching me use whatever distro I was on my machines at the time. So I started him out with Fedora and he didn’t really like it. he likes to tinker. He started out on DOS and the Commodore 64 back in the 80s. So I showed him my current setup on my main machine with NixOS. he liked it but I think the whole flake and configuration.nix went over his head. He liked how it worked, just really didn’t want to deal with all that. So I found a compromise for him. Guix.

    He friggin loves it. Yes it’s slow, too slow for me, but he adores it. he has a system configuration setup but also different user profiles for himself and my mom. He loves that all he has to do is “guix install whatever” and that’s it. It’s not like he’s gaming or doing any dev work so for what he and my mom needs it’s perfect.

    all that being said I would NOT recommend you start off new users to Guix. as I previously said, it’s slow, but it’s god damn simple.
