Apollo sideloaded stopped working so I’m back to Lemmy. Seems like an API issue.

I fixed this by deleting Windows.

I wonder if this is why my monitor’s brightness was acting up and dimming by itself. I just thought it was time to upgrade the monitor. Haven’t seen the issue in a few days so maybe it’s fixed.

I remember setting up a TeamSpeak server back in 2012 before Discord took over. Worked for us at the time.

I’ve been streaming Helldivers 2 to the Steam Deck too. It’s amazing as long as you have a good router.

It’s been a while but if I remember correctly Terraria instead of using the default gamepad config it took advantage of all the controls on the Steam Deck for a unique and pleasant experience.

I once played Terraria for more than 5 hours on battery and it still had battery leftover.

I mostly play with the Steam Controller so I rely on Steam Input which works quite well but only if you’re playing on Steam.

EndeavorOS with KDE is basically steamOS without restrictions. I’ve been running it fine for years.

Wasn’t this an actual product a few years ago?

I wonder what they fixed for Helldivers 2. All the bugs I’ve experienced happen to Windows users too.

There is no advantage to games and average applications preferring Wayland over X11 – only severe performance and unusability regressions right now. Thus, we must revert this change until fifo-v1 and commit-timing-v1 are released and at least in a stable release for major compositors."

Does this mean I’ve been getting reduced performance for using Wayland when playing games? I haven’t noticed any difference but I haven’t been benchmarking.

Yes as far as I know you need special clients for now. I’ve been using discord-screenaudio for a year or so and it works on Wayland. Also with the latest update of Webcord I’ve been able to stream with audio but friends are saying that it doesn’t sound as good.

Other than showing the xdg-portal popup when sharing your screen the experience is essentially the same as the Discord app.

Yes it is preserved.

Not sure about this specific issue but whenever I had issues with EA games in the past I would nuke the compatdata for the game and that usually fixed it. Make sure to back up your save file if you do that.

I switched to Wayland to get discord streaming with audio working but now Steam remote play has issues capturing some windows unless I open Steam with the -pipewire option. Other than these issues with video streaming it’s been almost the same ir better than x11 on my AMD machine.

I actually had to switch to Wayland to be able to stream with audio on Discord.

So the main takeaway is that you no longer need to be offline if 2 family members want to play at the same time as long as they’re playing different games.

That’s fair and it should alleviate a bunch of headaches.

We need a SeniorProgrammerHumor community. Less jokes about quitting vim and programming languages and more about every day funny issues.

It would’ve been funny if it was full of infill.
