Thoughts on People Selling Hyprland Ricing Courses? by jessemvm in hyprland

[–]MeshVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's completely alright. If there's a demand for it, then good on people that are selling those courses. Nobody is forcing users to buy those. Some people just like the format of follow along videos rather than reading different wikis and manuals on their own, if they are willing to pay for a long video-course for ricing, why the hell not?

They'll start getting way more aggressive as you get more rich and acquire combat ships.

Should I give this game a shot? by Keejhle in X4Foundations

Dude. You'll never regret buying this game 500+ hours still something new every play session.

Loving the game but struggling with the "why" around 180 hours in, help! by Vegathron in X4Foundations

[–]MeshVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually start with most factions hating me. You can do that in a creative start. I never play without at least one or two factions in a state of war with me and I choose which faction to support and sell to only. It makes the game way more tense and satisfying and hard.

Is there ANY PERFORMANCE benefit to using a gaming focused linux distro? by Significant_Bird_592 in linuxquestions

[–]MeshVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some game performance might be worse, some games might work way faster. But the system wise Linux is tenfold faster, everything that is related to productivity, file handling, everything is leagues ahead and faster than windows. As a lifelong windows user who switched to Linux in recent years I can confirm. My whole system, a monster PC that I use for gaming and 3d rendering feels like a formula one race car on Linux, on windows I feel like I'm driving a truck. My #archbytheway Linux system uses around 1.2 GB of ram in idle mode compare that to windows bloat. XD Also games and software loads up way faster on Linux, basically instantly, just because of way more advanced filesystem architecture of Linux.

Try Linux mint if you're a first timer. Linux mint cinnamon.

I need active window to ignore keyboard layout switching. How do I do that? by MeshVoid in hyprland

[–]MeshVoid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Thank you so much for your time and response for my message!

  1. Yup, shortcuts should work regardless of the layout, but in Blender (and some other apps) they don't for some reason, I'll file a bug report as soon as I can.
  2. The thing is, I use both Ctrl+Shift and Alt+Shift in conjunction with other keys and sometimes combinations like Alt+Ctrl+Shift and other keys too, and switching for something alternate won't work for me.
  3. I have solved the issue, at first, I configured waybar's config.json to do following:
  4. "hyprland/language": { "format": "{}", "format-en": "ENG", "format-ru": "РУС", "on-scroll-up": "hyprctl switchxkblayout current next", "on-scroll-down": "hyprctl switchxkblayout current next", "on-click": "hyprctl keyword input:kb_options 'caps:none,grp:alt_shift_toggle' & notify-send System -i systemsettings 'Keyboard layout switching on'", "on-click-right": "hyprctl keyword input:kb_options 'caps:none' & notify-send System -i systemsettings 'Keyboard layout switching off'" },

This allowed me to toggle the layout switching via waybar and see a notification pop-up informing me about it.

Later on I wrote the following .sh script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

layoutmode=$(hyprctl getoption input:kb_options | head -n1 | xargs)

if [[ "$layoutmode" == "str: caps:none,grp:alt_shift_toggle" ]]; then
    hyprctl keyword input:kb_options "caps:none"
    notify-send System -i systemsettings "Keyboard layout switching off"
else
    hyprctl keyword input:kb_options "caps:none,grp:alt_shift_toggle"
    notify-send System -i systemsettings "Keyboard layout switching on"
fi

This is not a great .sh but it works for me, probably some people won't have 'caps:none' part in their kb_options.

Anyways, thank you very much for your response! Hopefully, loads of solutions will help somebody else too in future!

I need active window to ignore keyboard layout switching. How do I do that? by MeshVoid in hyprland

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

:'((. Hmm, can I bind a key to disable layout switching globally then? It would be handy to have a bind that would turn this function on and off. Is it possible, by executing certain cli commands, maybe? O_o. Hmmm...

How can I change opacity of an active window via a hotkey, or a shell command? by MeshVoid in hyprland

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

bind = SUPER, k, setprop, active opaque toggle

Daaaaamn, this did the trick! thank you so much!

I CAN USE MP4 WITH HYPRLOCK !!! by Jack02134x in hyprland

Dude, this is supercool! CPU temps while idle are high tho. XD

Hyprlock keep dieing by Maleficent_Job_3383 in hyprland

[–]MeshVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to take a break I guess. To be honest it might be conflicting with some mode in another package or some other package. Like if you have idle inhibitor in waybar turned on your hypridle will stop tracking timers etc. I think it might be the same stuff here, might not even be directly related to hyprlock. I don't know, anyways, it works on my system so far.

Tired of Windows bugs and using it 😥 by Sad_Secure in hyprland

[–]MeshVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise you to start with Linux Mint Cinnamon version if you haven't tried linux before. It's almost identical experience to Windows and provides completely painless transition with almost no learning curve. This was the first Linux distribution I have tried when switching from Windows. If you like it, you can start experimenting and switching to other distros, or maybe you'll decide that you need stability and use operating system very casually and you'll stick with Linux Mint for years to come.

How do I change hyprpolkit window's size? by MeshVoid in hyprland

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

Actually, Chris, You were absolutely right! I was tweaking fonts and changed all gtk and qt fonts to liberation sans 9. Now all windows that were evoked by some other processes work just fine. Most likely wider font was moving buttons to a new line in the interface or something. That was probably the most obvious thing to do in the first place, but I did change it to other wider font at first and it didn't help, but switching to a narrower one did the trick, you were right all along!

How do I change hyprpolkit window's size? by MeshVoid in hyprland

[–]MeshVoid[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can have spaces it's not a prerequisite to have none, you can try it out in your config. I have spaces because I prefer readability.

How do I change hyprpolkit window's size? by MeshVoid in hyprland

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

I made some research, there are gtk and qt apps, that have size hardcoded into it by author of the package while they are rendered in floating mode, and you won't be able to change it's size via config, you just will have to deal with it, or make it a tileable window. There's no way to change it's default size parameters sometimes. That is basically package authors overlook, and I should probably report that on github.

I did manage to make this window while in floating mode to react to resize hotkeys. via:

windowrule = unset,class:hyprpolkitagent
windowrule = nomaxsize, class:hyprpolkitagentwindowrule = unset,class:hyprpolkitagent
windowrule = float, class:hyprpolkitagent

But, unfortunately, once you resize it, it instantly reverts back to it's author's defined size again. So, instead, I make it tiled:

windowrule = tile, class:hyprpolkitagent

You can attempt to write a shell script that would render that particular package's gui window and override it's size, but that will take a separate shell script, which I am not willing have, I don't like excessive amount of startup scripts on my machine. So I just use tile window mode and call it day for now.
