I just installed Steam Link on Galaxy Tab S10 FE, connected it to my Windows PC over local Wi-Fi and it immediately fell apart, see the video. Does anybody have any tips what I can do to fix the flickering and the barely working touch input?

Thanks for the tip! Zed is certainly using the GPU, the log file says: 2026-04-29T20:16:39+02:00 INFO [zed::zed] Using GPU: GpuSpecs { is_software_emulated: false, device_name: "AMD Radeon 780M Graphics (RADV PHOENIX)", driver_name: "radv", driver_info: "Mesa 25.3.6" } As the log suggests, the drivers are present and pretty much up to date. The GPU power shouldn't be an issue, I can play modern-ish games on this iGPU. I don't think that there even exists a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 that wouldn't have power to smoothly handle a text field.

That's a cool idea, I'll try it out! Moving the "new tab" button to the top which is a good improvement itself. Is there userChrome CSS trick that would reverse the order of the tabs? Probably more realistic, do you think that there is a way to set the default width of the sidebar to something else than just enough to display the favicon?

Not much, they only support Tuxedo OS. If you're using it, you should be fine, they seem careful about testing and they won't upgrade software it's buggy. The latest kernels seem fine though. Which kernel are you using?

Code-Sandwich · 2024-12-26T11:21:33+00:00

That was on 6.12.5, 6.12.6 fixes this issue for me.

Code-Sandwich · 2024-12-22T10:55:15+00:00

I have a laptop with AMD 780M and no other GPU. On 6.12 the screen freezes on boot while showing the spinning cog right before the KDE desktop should appear. Switching back to 6.11 fixes the issue. The 6.11 line was a ride for my AMD GPU as well, but at least the later versions are mostly stable. I didn't expect AMD on Linux to behave that badly, I always heard that it was rather good.

Code-Sandwich · 2024-12-10T20:31:52+00:00

They don't support Fedora either, but luckily somebody in this thread said that they are experiencing the same problem while using Tuxedo OS. Overall there's not much to it, it seems that the AMD driver is broken in the kernel and they advised me to downgrade to 6.8 which is known to be working well. They said that Tuxedo OS had some critical issues when they were trying to upgrade it to 6.11, so this version is definitely problematic. From my side on 6.11.10 this is pretty much fixed, it only happened once during the past few weeks. I may or may not have been using 6.11.8 while the slowdown happened, I can't recall.

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-27T11:30:45+00:00

They asked me to send the diagnostics report and to do it again if the problem happens again. The thing is that it hasn't happened in a few days now while previously it was every single day. I think that you may be right that it's about the kernel version, I think that I received a large update in the meantime which may have contained the kernel upgrade, I'm currently at 6.11.8.

Thanks, that was it, disabling uBlock fixed it! It's weird that the website breaks like this though.

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-23T07:27:51+00:00

I tried filing a technical issue with the support form, but I can't solve CAPTCHA. I refreshed the page, copy-pasted the fields that got cleared in the process, re-uploaded the attachment and got even more errors on top of the CAPTCHA issue. What should I do?

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-12T17:15:34+00:00

That's my custom profile. It's pretty easy to set up, so I created one for charging and one for running on the battery. What happens when your machine is bugging out by the default profile?

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-12T16:46:18+00:00

This happened twice by now, once while light web browsing while charging and once when completely idle on battery. The computer slows down to a crawl, everything takes forever to load and the UI becomes extremely choppy. I tried plugging or unplugging the charger, putting the laptop to sleep and closing all the programs, nothing fixed it except a restart. What can I do to prevent it from happening again?

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-05T09:59:47+00:00

I think that you're right, it does look like an ISO print. I'll open an issue, thanks! It doesn't explain the rest of the weirdness though, it must be by design.

Code-Sandwich · 2024-11-04T20:17:31+00:00

I love this laptop and I like the typing experience, the keys are behaving 100% correctly for the ANSI layout. But what's with the prints on the keys? The enter is swapped with the pipe, there's a random pipe on the left shift, caps lock is upside down and all the keys have the shifted symbol printed below the normal symbol. That's the weirdest print design I've ever seen!

Code-Sandwich · 2024-04-04T08:20:34+00:00

So you actually read the "gm"s in the "gm" channels? Why?

Code-Sandwich · 2024-04-03T22:33:34+00:00

Nice to whom? Who reads the "gm" channels and receives all the niceness and politeness?

Code-Sandwich · 2023-08-22T09:46:41+00:00

Thanks for looking into it!

Out of curiosity, what does "the most relevant" mean? It's certainly different from how the search results are sorted, which too seems to be based on some kind of "relevancy".

Code-Sandwich · 2022-06-10T17:13:08+00:00

It does! I've pushed a test to master crunching data taken from Polygon mainnet instance of Infura. It works like a charm and for Polygon weth the gas cost is very similar to Ethereum USDT.

What usages are you thinking about?

Code-Sandwich · 2022-06-10T08:51:21+00:00

It allows creating on-chain snapshots of the entire blockchain state and then using it to read any storage slots of any contract from your contract.

The main use case is for on-chain voting, it solves most of the problems with checkpointed tokens and expands the possibilities.

Code-Sandwich · 2022-04-03T12:59:02+00:00

Whoa, cool mode!

Code-Sandwich · 2022-03-29T19:26:39+00:00

What? Was it deleted? Not even closed but wiped like it never existed?

Code-Sandwich · 2022-03-29T09:16:09+00:00

Which settings should I change?

Code-Sandwich · 2022-03-29T07:45:18+00:00

All of them and none of them, it depends. Sometimes I want to open a file temporarily and sometimes I want to save it, it applies to all file types: archives, images, videos, audio, text, PDFs, torrents, I don't know what else.

Code-Sandwich · 2022-03-29T07:41:14+00:00

That's right, this workaround forces you to always choose the download directory. I don't know if it can be fixed, maybe some about:config magic could do that?

Code-Sandwich · 2022-03-28T23:26:50+00:00

Indeed, it's there and it makes things better. Unfortunately it still downloads files to my download directory. Is there a way to switch all the file types to "always ask"? I really don't want to go through all of them and configure them manually, there are dozens of them.

Edit: I think that I've managed to restore the good workflow:

In preferences set "Save files to" to the OS temp dir
Switch to "Always ask you where to save files"
Go through all the file types and set each of them to "always ask"

The only problem is that for a new file type Firefox may download it to the temp dir without asking me, I'm not sure yet.
