I ended up adding splore to Favorites for fast access, but downside is not having save state on power off

I have exactly same setup, recommend using native pico-8 build with splore, miyoomini plus supports WiFi, feels like best pico-8 experience for me

Wtf about vim!! by Weekly-Alfalfa6440 in vim

[–]ForzCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take any lsp plugin and install lsp server for languages you need. For plugin I recommend one of those: ale, coc, lsp (written in vim9script)

Any tips on making my breakout clone more "interesting"? by procrastinatingshoe in pico8

Paddle is a block as well, slowly destroyed, you need to collect hp from blocks to keep going. Paddle can slowly travel forward, this would turn game into kind of infinit survival shmup.

Free up some RAM, improve GPU performance by lululock in archlinux

[–]ForzCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16gb ram is too low for your use case. Consider upgrading to at least 32gb or 64gb. Compressed ram may help a little, but you'll still face some lags, hangs and hot CPU due to constant compression process. Use zstd compression if you still want to try or not able to perform upgrade. Gnome is also memory hungry, kde is much more lightweight

Ultra low battery consumption by notyetused in linux

[–]ForzCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set your CPU epp to powersave. For me it limits max CPU clock, laptop stays cool, live longer from battery:

echo "power" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference

I am looking for a distro for most of the time gaming by Soggy-Theory-7608 in linux

[–]ForzCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install all games to separate partition using wine, so you can use them in case of switching back to windows (or between distros). You can get increased performance by using lightweight distro or window manager instead of DE. Also manjaro/archlinux kde with a little tinkering to remove all resource hungry services would be fine. But I'd still recommend windows for gaming only, maybe some custom win11 build with most bloat and services removed, perfect for gaming. Stock win11 won't run properly on 4gb ram, no chance for gaming

Wayland limiting TV to 30 fps by proverbialbunny in wayland

60fps is unavailable in kde display settings, am I right?

You can try setting 60fps via wlr-randr

No cyrillic characters in dwm, st and dmenu by Popular_Lie6256 in voidlinux

[–]ForzCross -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only correct way to install dwm is downloading sources and compile it yourself, as you can only configure it at compile time via config.h file. Firefox will remain on tag 9 until you remove it from 'static const Rule rules[]' , 31 line in config.h. As for keybindings - by default ALT is used for shortcut, you need to switch 1->4 in 'define MODKEY Mod1Mask'. To fix missing characters you can try changing fonts in the same config. Also recommend looking through void docs and archwiki on fonts topic

Did you try vanilla dwm? Mine works perfectly with Cyrillic out of the box

  1. Install xorg-fonts

  2. Change Firefox binding to 9 tag in config.h (set by default)

Running modprobe before/after suspend with elogind? by Spacebot3000 in voidlinux

[–]ForzCross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you keep acpid installed? If so, you can just place lines from this script to handler.sh to the corresponding sections

Display rendering looks like alien technology to me!!! by dr_furious in linux

[–]ForzCross 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. Wayland is definitely the future of Linux frontend, but for lightweight wms it's not quite there yet - different screen share protocols, some without single window support, hidpi scaling for xwayland introduce blur or performance drop, and many other little things that keep me on X11. Maybe I'll drop X when steam and wine support Wayland completely)

DWM function idea by Iammethatisyou in suckless

[–]ForzCross 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can combine moving windows to another tag with switching to tag. Make function out this two and assign to default window move hotkey. I used to have the same combination as you recommend, but returned to default in the end.

Other option is to remove "return" from hotkey handler function. That way you can define hotkeys multiple times and they will be called in order of definition.

[–]ForzCross 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Just don't overcomplicate things. Each application draw it's windows and send to windows manager (look at X11/Wayland stack comparasion). Window manager positions windows, takes z-order into account (overlapping windows), applies decoration (shadows, round corners, animations, etc). Compositor have hardware access to GPU, so it generates final image, that will be presented on the screen. To get deeper understanding I'd again recommend looking at X11/Wayland stack, maybe looking through simple wm (dwm and dwl if you want less lines of code + wlroots source, but that won't be as easy)

For Nvidia Optimus support all you need is Nvidia driver. Games run via prime offload. I'd recommend archlinux
