I agree, really anything with KDE Plasma will feel basically the same because the Steam Deck's desktop is basically stock kde.
Not going to surprise anyone but Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets aren't great on Linux, at least with controllers
Although that is improving!
Hmm I just tried editing some systemd service with Kate and it did actually give me an authenticator popup when I tried to save it
Although then the prompt expired and now it does nothing when I try to save it. Restarted Kate and now it works again...
I haven't tried that before
When I try to go into the sudoers.d folder tho it just says I can't, and the same thing happens when I try to open the sudoers file in Kate. If I try to copy and paste a systemd service in dolphin tho it just says I don't have permission and doesn't give a prompt.
lol if I open it with nano through sudo it says 'sudoers is meant to be read only'
Yeah, when I was on xfce on Arch I remember going into some places in the file manager where it wouldn't let me edit files etc without running it from the terminal through sudo.
Is there a technical reason that Linux apps can't/don't just pop up an authenticator thing asking for more privileges like Windows apps can do? Why does nano just say that the file is unwriteable instead of letting me increase the privileges?
They're already going to only ship it through Steam. As long as you're using Steam, they don't care.
You could use Nsight, it has a Linux version and is very in depth (shows every draw call, also has one that shows very detailed CPU tasks)
Of course harder to use than presentmon
like really, you're just realizing that now??

Here's a different, big double slit:

Blender was also used a bit in Everything Everywhere All At Once
With the smaller 14b model (q4_k_m), just letting it complete the text starting with "why do I"
edit: bonus, completely nonsensical (?) starting with "I don't" (what could possibly be causing it to say this?)
Microsoft had relatively interesting ideas concerning 3D and VR content, then proceeded to do an extremely mediocre execution, simultaneously dumbing everything down while also making it hard to use, and then proceeded to discontinue their software after almost never touching it again for seven years
I have a Reverb G2 (windows mixed reality headset), it is really a good headset and is still competitive with the Quest 3 in several areas for use on PC. The WMR software itself isn't that bad and I think if it had more care and attention put into it it could genuinely have been great. If they had better home options, user created homes, more customization and the ability to fix things in place so you don't accidentally move them, the ability to add (even just user created) minigames and dynamic objects that stay in the world, and (most importantly) the ability to actually invite other people into the space to play with you and launch into other games. They're Microsoft, they were large enough and early enough that I'm sure they could even have gotten game developers on board with some protocol that automatically brings people you're playing with into a multiplayer session of whatever game you start. I think they were onto something with their home system and could have fleshed the software out into something much better than even the modern competition. Of course it's all discontinued now, the latest version of Windows doesn't even support it, I plan to continue to use the old version until it stops getting security patches in 2026 and then switch to Linux where hopefully the open source people will finally fully support using controllers.
reference image if you have no idea what I'm talking about:
I know this is a minor nitpick, but it's something that annoys me.
I got this graphics card mostly because it was the best deal on Amazon at the time (gpu shortage), and I also thought it looked decent from the images they had. However, when I actually installed it, all I see is the relatively unattractive looking black metal backplate with some white text. The other side is always the side shown in the promotional images too - not a single one of the pictures in the Amazon listing even shows the side that you'll be seeing 99.9% of the time. Do they think everyone hangs their PCs above them from the ceiling, or has open-air testbenches? Why do they never even bother with the other side? I know they want the fans on the bottom so the cooling is better, but the air in front of the CPU shouldn't be that bad, a lot of cheaper GPUs don't need that much cooling, and a ton of people have watercooling now anyways so the CPU radiators just go on the sides.
my reasoning: the actual colors we can see -> the wavelengths that we can extrapolate to -> basically extrapolated wavelengths plus an 'unpure-ness' factor -> not even real wavelengths (ok well king blue and maybe lavender if I'm being generous could be)
shocking: users of open-source reddit alternative like open-source things
I've often seen this sort of thing in videos advertising GI in minecraft shaders, and tried it out in blender.
This is at JFK, does anyone know what they are used for? There wasn’t an obvious time when it was taking a picture.
They massively changed the UI in 2019, in version 2.8. Hasn't changed much since then though.
If you remember Blender having a bad-looking light grey UI and no support for multiple workspaces, that's the old version.
Software support is basically identical across any Linux distro. It's not really a concern when choosing a distro to use. Of course some are easier to install stuff on than others.
