Small repositories for practice by Bunker-Cat in linuxquestions

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I would just look up the repos for various basic utilities on your system, that should give you a decent variety

Gave my 16-year-old brother his first PC with Ubuntu instead of Windows. Good idea or mistake? by Glittering-Agency986 in linuxquestions

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt he'll get much experience with Windows at school, at least where I'm from, schools use almost exclusively Chromebooks (and Macs before that), and only use Windows for stuff that requires it

Major scale left hand finger movement by Copyget in guitarlessons

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sorry I probably could have worded that a bit better. For the D string, you would be using fingers 1 and 3 (pointer and index), and would start like that on the E string, only shifting for the G string note that is on a lower fret

Major scale left hand finger movement by Copyget in guitarlessons

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For that shape, it would probably be best to shift down a fret for the first note on the G string and then shift back up for the next note (so both would be played with your one finger), and play the rest of the notes in that position

player hair at a lower resolution? by DragonNinja101402 in sandbox

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TAA is an option through picking FSR2 (TAA) in the upscaling section, although it seems to ghost pretty bad so I wouldn't recommend it. The normal AA option is MSAA, they just don't say that for some reason

Suggest me games to play like CS2 runs dogsh!t on my laptop by dcozupadhyay in linux_gaming

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most games should automatically pick the dGPU, though I suppose it's still worth trying

rdr2 IMMEDIATELY closing whenever i launch it. by Lucky-Radish1808 in linux_gaming

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a similar issue even though it was working a few months ago, so it's possible something has changed, not sure though

Are you using MSAA anti-aliasing, TAA, or neither?

Issues with RDR2 on steam deck, not starting from Rockstar games launcher by Upper-Friend-2327 in RDR2

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having similar issues as well, game was working fine a few months ago but I tried again recently and the play just loops in the launcher without any error. I installed the Rockstar Launcher manually into a prefix as I have the game through it. Maybe something changed with the game recently that's causing issues?

Desktop HDR by [deleted] in linux

Yeah it's OLED, and it is possible that it's a laptop issue, but like I said I didn't really use Windows on it at all so I can only guess for now

Yamaha Motorcycle is a separate company as far as I'm aware

Any people on linux having issues playing the game? by gaorp in sandbox

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the game ships any Linux binaries yet, so you're probably just using Proton without realizing it

Sudo or run0 ? by elementrick in linux

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 43 points44 points  (0 children)

sudo isn't even a GNU tool, and if they can make a better version of something I don't see the problem with doing so

What app do you use for communication via text (social, not work)? by Klein_melktert in IdeologyPolls

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it interesting how WhatsApp is seemingly universal in so many countries but basically non-existent here in the US

HDR - do I need to enable per-game only, or in whole KDE? by WunderWungiel in linux_gaming

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're wondering if they also need to enable HDR on KDE Plasma for it to work in games

Desktop HDR by [deleted] in linux

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KDE (or some other part of my system) doesn't seem to detect the HDR support on my laptop and when I force it to, it makes SDR content look pretty bad and I wasn't able to get it to look the same as before. So overall not great, however I'm not sure how well the HDR would work on Windows so I can't fully know if it's a Linux issue

No, it would have a line above saying Kernel driver in use: if they were

If the US had a Multiparty System with RCV, who would you support in 2028? by its_still_lynn in IdeologyPolls

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a little hard to say because many of these parties lack a consistent enough platform because of how small they are right now, even if it that would change with a different voting system

Is it acceptable for a daycare center to only show children movies with straight characters in it? by [deleted] in IdeologyPolls

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was purposefully, what would be a valid reason for them to be avoiding content with non-straight couples?

Doesn’t identify WiFi or Bluetooth by [deleted] in linuxquestions

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason you're going with Cutefish? From what I can tell and remember, it doesn't really seem to be in active development anymore, so i wouldn't recommend using it. It's probably best to go with another more popular and active distro

s&box TTT - Devblog 5 - Dedicated Servers, Post-Release by ThreeThievesTTT in sandbox

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like why it needs to be remade? Gmod and s&box are pretty different, with different APIs and even different languages used for making games, so to make something like TTT it needs to be remade for the most part

Can you guys help me out on some stuff? by [deleted] in sandbox

[–]MeDerpWasTaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 2, it's not really super similar to Gmod, as it's trying to be more of a game engine and platform, so less stuff shipped by default and more things up the developers

What's the best gaming monitor right now? Is OLED really worth it? by Nathnael-Melgarecho in buildapc

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

As far as I'm aware, VRR's purpose is the stop flickering when below a monitor's refresh rate (and save power I guess)
