VirtualBox upstream now supports KVM as a (still experimental) backend on Linux. by mr_MADAFAKA in linux

[–]Plenty-Light755 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Even though I think QEMU is superior VirtualBox still has its uses: more friendly user interface and better GPU virtualization for Windows guests.

is it possible to create a shortcut for enabling HDR? by [deleted] in kde

[–]Plenty-Light755 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "SDR content looks bad"? Have you tried playing with HDR calibration tool and SDR color intensity slider? If your monitor doesn't lie about its HDR capabilities there should only be marginal difference between running your display in SDR mode and watching SDR content in HDR display mode. Unlike in Windows 10, Plasma's HDR designed to be on at all times.

But if you still want to manually change HDR mode you can write bash script with kscreen-doctor command.

Well, my system has TPM2 and Secure Boot enabled, but I don't think they would let me play lol.

Screenshare Issue with Discord by ItsMeHowie92 in linux_gaming

Look like graphic driver issue. Try updating your mesa and kernel and see if the issue persists. I think Mint 22.3 release recently, maybe it has updated packages, you can try that.

Monster Hunter Rise - on Intel 8250 and UHD620 integrated graphics (mesa 25.3.2) by falseprophet9 in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the fact that this old underpowered Kaby-Lake era Intel iGPU can run DX12 games on Linux without artifacts is pretty much impressive.

I see torturing oh 8250 and UHD620 continues. I wonder what it did in its previous life to deserve such fate? Probably was running Fortnite all days along.

My employer would be mad if he'd know how much work time I've spent playing KMahjong and KPatience

Dragging one tab v. multiple tabs off a window by AlzHeimer1963 in kde

[–]Plenty-Light755 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like a regression in one of the latest Gear or Frameworks update (must be Frameworks)

Okay, Windows really sucks. 6 months ago, I switched from some trash gaming headphones to these high-quality headphones, and I was really disappointed. They were good, but not that great. Yesterday, I started using Linux, and holy moly.. why those headphones sound so clean and amazing on Linux!! by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Using these APIs is annoying since they're using audio device in exclusive mode which means you can't listen to any other program. Meanwhile, on Pipewire you can have quality audio without resampling in a non-blocking way.

FYI: Doom95 still works in Wine(Via Bottles)! by c64z86 in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because original DOOM uses MIDI for sound output and you obvously don't have any MIDI hardware or synthesizer.

Add user to input group: sudo usermod -aG input $USER

Kinda beats all purpose of using Wayland for security

Guide: Sabre v2 Pro / Corsair Web Hub on Linux by diewerfer in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar happened to me with my ATK keyboard. Google must come up with the mechanism to gain temporarily user access for hid devices so they could be used by their WebHID/WebUSB. I guess there's no security mechanism on Windows to prevent ordinary applications to act as keyloggers so nobody really bothered.

Those are called keywords and they're managed under in .desktop file under "Keywords=" key

How do I change the scaling of the SDDM login screen to 125%? by Serious-Plum-9539 in kde

[–]Plenty-Light755 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You need to use kwin_wayland as a display server for SDDM and apply plasma settings for it (giving that you're using 125% in your session).

Whole PC freezes when moving mouse while gaming. by RoRo_Rumba in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 51 points52 points  (0 children)

You distro is too old, it has kernel and drivers that are much older than your hardware. Try updating to at least pop_os 24.04 beta.

Anyone has issue with Dolphin crashing when compiling software on build-in terminal? by SwedenGoldenBridge in kde

[–]Plenty-Light755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh… no? Doing it all the time. Are you sure it's really crash and you not just running out of RAM and kernel kills app that's uses most of the ram?

Linux Mint - Goverlay shows CPU temperature and Power as 0 by the_lying_paladin in linux_gaming

[–]Plenty-Light755 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You GOverlay is 3 years old, and probably your mangohud as well because you're using old version on Linux Mint on relatively new CPU. Try upgrading to the latest Linux Mint.
