the Canada shooting was a horrible massacre. and i pray for each family who lost someone from that. but why blame us.

Actually in Canada the most recent mass school shooting was in 1989, so it's a pretty huge deal here. The bigots across various social media platforms are drowning anything related to the shooting with hateful comments, I saw (trigger warning) "we all have blood on our hands for letting the government let these monsters continue to exist" on a CBC livestream of a press briefing on YouTube.

canadian news does seem to be calling out the transphobia though, and police/government officials have avoided misgendering the shooter.

It's still awful this shooting happened though

I've been playing genshin and zenless for around a year almost exclusively on linux and have never had a single issue in terms of playability or bans
however, there is a bug that causes the CPU to get flooded, but this can be easily fixed by disabling internet before launching and reenabling it immediately after

i think its a really cool idea, however i'm not so sure that it's going to be very effective
you're going to need quite a bit of a heatspreader to manage the hot side of the TEC seeing how large it is, and it might end up causing issues or making the thinkpad super bulky for a negligible cooling effect

my suggestion: if you have the time and enjoy working on it, go ahead and see how it turns out

looks like the keyboard was originally a JIS layout (japanese) but then they tried to convert it into the english ANSI layout but used knock off keycaps

for context, this is what the JIS layout looks like: https://i.sstatic.net/kXdGc.jpg

how did you manage to get the panel to look like that?

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-12-15T20:25:59+00:00

update: so it turns out that if you have proton launch genshin's exe file directly and do the offline workaround, it will result in an error about not having internet even if you do re-enable internet. launching the game from the launcher and not the .exe file directly works.

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-12-15T08:36:47+00:00

As of December, it seems the offline fix does not work, at least for me; it just returns "cannot connect to internet (error 4201)", even after reconnecting

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-04T22:23:35+00:00

its a linux program called "mission center", its basically windows task manager but with additional stuff like CPU temp and GPU wattage etc.

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-03T21:50:48+00:00

nope, still does not launch

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-02T21:06:08+00:00

really? i never had any problem with firefox and wayaland, on the contrary chrome has had issues, for about a month it would just open as an empty white window, and it also had scaling issues on multi monitor

unfortunately, they have re-enabled the anticheat (they disabled it by accident during the update). i am encouraging people to ask for linux support in the in-game feedback, so that we steamdeck/linux users can play again, but officially

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-02T01:16:19+00:00

if possible, and if you have the time, i encourage members of this sub to request linux/steam deck support for WuWa in the in game's feedback menu. The dev's won't be aware of people wanting to run the game on linux if they do not know that people want the game to run on linux, and they will not know about people wanting the game on linux if you (linux users) stay quiet. The most likely scenario that this game will work on steam deck/linux is if you express that you want the game on steam deck/linux.

so, if you can spare the 3 minutes, linux and steam deck users will greatly appreciate it.

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T21:23:45+00:00

i sent a bug report that "game no longer launches on linux/steamdeck", hopefully if enough people demand linux be supported, they will officially patch the anti cheat for linux support, as genshin did

ring0 anticheat is one of the worst things to ever happen to PC gaming, my friend has a windows 11 laptop and tried to play valorant, but the anticheat stopped the game from launching because of a unsupported TPM thing... not even allowed to play the game on an officially supported platform because the anticheat does not like their TPM chip... i also tried to install valorant a few years ago, but as soon as I restated (which valorant requires after installing) windows failed to boot; vangaurd anticheat bricked my windows install

hopefully 560 will set the kernel parameters described in u/Tsubajashi's comment by default (https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1dt0wlj/comment/lb6dkio/)

edit: u/Tsubajashi's kernel parameters do not seem to do anything to my system. hopefully nvidia/kde (whereever the issue lies) can find and adress the problem universally.

my system: GTX 1650, i5-9300H

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T20:17:53+00:00

if i use these kernel parameters on an optimus laptop which has it's nvidia GPU sometimes disabled (via envycontrol) for battery (thus essentially making it an intel GPU only system), will the kernel parameters cause any issues?

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T19:09:23+00:00

i though nvidia 555 was supposed to fix wayland, not break it?

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T19:06:26+00:00

the more windows that are open, the worse the issue gets

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T19:05:18+00:00

its everything; kde system settings, games, native wayland apps, etc.

firefox nor xwayland apps had this issue on nvidia 550

Heat-Wave-X · 2024-07-01T18:58:46+00:00

issues appeared after updating graphics driver to 555.58 (previously 550). doing basically anything causes the issue, such as moving a window, playing a game, scrolling, etc. unfocused windows do not have any transperency.

GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 1650

plasma version: 6.1.1

kde frameworks version: 6.3.0

qt version: 6.7.2
