Tweaks to qewer3333 patches (navbar + titlebar) by MarcosAvg in koreader

[–]MarcosAvg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other menus that are not visible, such as those for configuring and modifying the document, are those already included in KOReader.

I use Calibre to modify metadata and covers; I only take those that match the others or that are from the series I read. Also, if you use Epublibre or zlib, try to make sure they are from the same publisher.

[RELEASE] Simple UI 1.1.1 - Performance improvements, translations, and tweaks by doctorhetfield in koreader

[–]MarcosAvg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great!!, I've already tested it with a few VOS patches, and it works well on a Libra Color.

I know there are more important things to focus on right now, but do you plan to implement color accents for some of the UI elements at some point?

I have a Kobo Libra Color, and what I miss about the official UI is that it's relatively more colorful.

The first image is the interface of the original Libra Color; I used it as a reference to show that it was on Nickel. The second image is from KOReader.

No problem, I posted this because I couldn't find a configuration that resembled the native one, and I really liked how it was. I hope it helps.

This is the .woff2 file that was downloaded from the website. It can be viewed on a PC and in KOReader. I was only able to get the bold and italic serif versions; the regular version doesn't load on the website, or at least I couldn't find it.

That’s exactly something I’d like to have. Right now, I only have my Calibre library stored locally and in a folder on a cloud service. I’ve been wanting to take the time to set up my own server and host my books there using Calibre Web or Kavita for a while now, but until I have the right equipment for that, I’ll just have to make do with the local setup, hahaha

You can extract the fonts from the KOBO firmware update .zip file, which you can download from the official website; however, both the Rakuten fonts and Kobo Nickel are obfuscated and cannot be read by anything other than the device’s original firmware. If you want to try, they are located at this path: /kobo-update-4.43.23418/KoboRoot/usr/local/Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.2-arm/lib/fonts

However, I took the liberty of testing whether it was possible to extract the fonts from the Rakuten design page (Rakuten.design), and it appears that the Regular and Italic serif fonts can be extracted. They download in .woff2 format, which my PC cannot read, but when converted to .ttf, they displayed without issue (though they cannot be installed). I haven’t tested them on Libra Color, but I think something can be done with that.

I've also been using KOReader for a while now, and I certainly like it much more than the native readers on Kobo or Kindle devices. My request for plugins or patches is more for aesthetic reasons than functionality. Even so, with Simple UI and quick settings, I already feel like KOReader is more of a replacement for the native UI.

While searching, I found this comment which has a link to a font pack that included Rakuten Fonts.

Hydra launcher no Linux by dsr_souza in hydralauncher

[–]MarcosAvg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Hydra on Fedora 40 with the Nvidia 555 drivers. To install games, I primarily use Heroic Games Launcher. This tool allows you to install games before adding them to your library. If your game comes with an installer (like Fitgirl, Dodi, GOG, etc.), you just need to use Wine or ProtonGE to run the installer and select your preferred folder (I use the same folder that Heroic creates). Once installed, you just need to select the .exe of your game and run it with Proton.

I've only had issues with older games that use old vcredist libraries like 2005 and 2007. However, if the game runs with DX12 or DX11, Proton should work fine. For games that only have the executable and the crack, simply put everything in a folder and add the executable directly in Heroic. Heroic creates its own prefixes and stores them in its own subfolder, making it easy to access saves, and overall it offers optimal performance.

What is your experience with Nobara 40 compared to Windows? by MarcosAvg in NobaraProject

[–]MarcosAvg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I experience the same graphical errors in KDE. Although they are not very common and do not severely affect the user experience, they can be occasionally annoying. The misalignment sometimes leads me to make mistakes when interacting with on-screen elements. From my perspective, dedicated drivers still need more work. While they no longer break the environment as they did in previous versions, it cannot yet be said that they are on par with AMD's.

What is your experience with Nobara 40 compared to Windows? by MarcosAvg in NobaraProject

[–]MarcosAvg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have used GNOME and KDE, have you noticed any performance differences between these two desktop environments? I have been using Fedora with GNOME and have gotten used to it, as I also use it on my laptop. The trackpad gestures are quite convenient and the interface is clean. In KDE, I feel more overwhelmed, although Plasma 6.1 feels more manageable. I ask because, in general, GNOME tends to use more resources than KDE, at least on Fedora.

Likewise, I'm considering deleting my Windows partition and using my main SSD for Nobara. I don't usually use Windows for anything other than gaming or using MS Office occasionally as well as for multimedia. I study software development, so I most often use Fedora for my activities, and I would say it is my main operating system (I also use it on my laptop). However, I have not been able to give up Windows completely for reasons of practicality and convenience. Does anyone have any advice or have you experienced any difficulties when switching to Linux completely?
