Xfce's Wayland Roadmap Updated in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Animortis@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That’d be nice. Getting my monitor above 60hz requires Wayland on my AMD card. I’d like another desktop environment option.

Digging New World and Albion Online at the moment. All those others are great, too. ESO can get tricky to install addons is my only comment there.

ZRAM is insane in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Anyone know of an eli5 on zram? I don't see why just compressing your RAM would make it run better.

I stand corrected!

Debian supports their version for two years. Then you need to upgrade.

But I just think more options are always good. Only having one just limits us to a mono-culture if we don't want to go with some corporate solution.

I honestly think we need community-managed LTS distros. This is a good start.

Highlighting that he called out Steve for not asking for comment from LMG for his video.

OK, this I can agree with. And in fairness I was never writing about a big, constantly-updated video channel that was continually talking about itself. But it still screams to me there needs to be a chance at letting them respond.

Happy Debian Day - going 30 years strong in c/linux@lemmy.ml

With increasing enshittification of so many Linux distros, community distros like Debian are more important than ever. Debian, Arch, Void, Gentoo are so important. I hope more people put some life into Mageia and OpenMandriva. We could use some more alternatives.

From the majority of the team, this is a pretty good and textbook PR mea culpa. "Here's how we screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

The pushing the merch was tone-deaf and the defensive whining from Linus was NOT on-point, though. I appreciate it ended with "how I'm going to fix it," but he should keep the defensive shit to himself.

I know Linus was pushing back REAL hard on getting a fact checker. And it would've likely prevented this situation entirely.

Edit: Other than the pushing of merch... Sigh... This is a pretty good PR mea culpa. At least from the rest of the team. I guess I should finish it. Pretty textbook. "We screwed up, here's how we're fixing it."

Edit 2: Nevermind. I got to the part with Linus. FFS.

If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it? in c/gaming@lemmy.ml
[–] Animortis@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago

Steam. I need higher Linux compatibility.

Newbie question: Spray-on Varnishes (kbin.social)
 

My question here is if there are any rattlecan varnishes people recommend not from Citadel or Army Painter? I'm looking to speed up the varnishing but not all my FLGS have them in stock all the time.

I usually use a painted-on Army Painter Anti-Matte varnish, but lately I've found that process to be rather tedious. Additionally, it can cause issues with my Speedpaints 1.0.

Once I'm done with my bottle, I was considering spray-on varnishes. Now I know that we can use certain regular brand rattlecan primers, like Rustoleum, but I was wondering if anyone had a go-to rattlecan varnish they use that isn't from one of the "big" mini paint companies. (Like Rustoleum? or something?) I can hit a hobby store too if there's something there people like.

I've found there isn't a lot online about this topic. Some videos, sure, but they seem Europe-oriented, and we often have different products here in the U.S., particularly in these regular hardware store items. So I was looking for advice and thoughts.
