I wish it had split screen & controller support.

Which one is easier to self host? Has anyone tried using it on an offline LAN?

Wait, Fluxer and Stoat have Voice channels ? Am I getting this right?

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It might be voice calls.

Does it have voice channels ?

I prefer Gnome's UX/UI, But Valve sponsors KDE and they collaborate, this helps KDE ship gaming related improvements faster than other desktops, so that's why I switched to KDE. IIRC, KDE had VRR 6 months faster and when Gnome got it, it required editing a text file, then a few months more for the UI and last month it was deemed not "experimental". Both are great, with different strengths. My advice is that you try and chose what works best for you.

I've been running Bazzite since it launched. When Microsoft announced the TPM requirement for W1 and sunset of W10 I started the switch. After trying 10+ distros I settled on Bazzite.

It's been the best PC experience I've ever had. I've used Windows, MacOS, and all major Linux distributions, and the Universal Blue distros are the ones I like the most. I appreciate their ease of use, stability and having the latest drivers.

I have 2 kids, we use Bazzite (with KDE) on my 3 PCs:

  • Intel i7 14700K + 3080ti
  • Ryzen 7 7700X + Radeon 7900 XTX (Main Rig)
  • GMKTec K12 (Ryzen 7 H255 32GB) as a Living room console.

Bonus:

  • Steam Deck running Steam OS is the same experience as Bazzite for my family.

I run Aurora on my work laptop through an external M2 caddy. I am extremely happy to have made the switch.

My daily experience is pure bliss, there's no maintenance whatsoever, and everything I need to do with my PCs is easy.

I don't want to be an expert on any OS, I just want it to work for ME and not the other way around. I don't want to maintain anything. I want to work and play and the OS has to move aside and let me do my thing when I want to. And Bazzite and Aurora have been that for me.

Sure, we can't play Fortnite or FIFA. But this is a gazillion times better than dealing with Windows bullshit.

For other stuff like Adobe and what not, I found alternatives which some are free and better.

Valve, KDE, and drivers are being improved on a monthly basis, for me it means every little nuisance is being resolved automatically without requiring my attention.

But right now, in Game Mode, HDR and VRR work perfectly. Next month brings better HDR for desktop mode.

Nothing is perfect, but this is the happiest I've been with my computers ever. I don't do shit, everything works.

My kids are proud to show their setup, it's easy enough for them that they don't require my assistance to use them on their own.

I love it.

My advice? Switch and try. Settle with the one you like the most. Privacy is not the only benefit.

From their repo:

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

  • Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR
  • Keyboard layout switching
  • Virtual keyboards
  • Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input
  • Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)
  • Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup
  • Deeper Plasma integration including:
    • Display and keyboard brightness control
    • Full power management
    • Pairing trusted bluetooth devices
    • Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP

I just read about people struggling with Next loud in the OpenDesk thread and wanted to share this in case someone is interested in contributing to this project.

I thought this would be relevant to Linux, since the options available to us Linux users are either unmaintained, hard to use, require a subscription, an account, or to upload your content to a server.

BentoPDF is the opposite of all that.

I just hope they add a dumb-proof way to install it (PWA? Flatpak?) for easy access.

I just found this interesting PDF tool:

https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf

Fully offline, everything is client side, the files get edited in the browser, there's no server uploads.

Does anyone know anything about it? Any thoughts worth sharing? Is it trustworthy?

Traccar integration (lemmy.world)

What I want to achieve:

I'm subscribed to Home Assistant Cloud, and I want better location history but integrated to Home Assistant.

What I've tried:

I've tried to setup the server integration, I have traccar running successfully, but I don't know how to reach traccar without exposing it to the internet too, is that even possible? I know there's a script that feeds a HA device's location to Traccar, but I would prefer to use the official integration if possible.

Questions

Can I avoid exposing Traccar server to the internet without using a VPN?

Bro, seriously.

Your account is yours only. If you want to share your library with her, make her an account and add that to your famiy group. I do this with my 2 kids and everyone plays whatever they want, simultaneously.

https://docs.spacebar.chat/faq/

Currently there is no voice or video support in any Spacebar instance. This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility. We would be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

Damn.
