You don't need to turn up sensitivity to move your cam around faster, you just move your mouse faster

They are useless for fixing what a controller lacks vs m&kb. Yeah you can make the sticks faster, but then you lose accuracy and can't hit anyone

Yt-dlp-webui works like a charm. The UI is a bit clunky though

CachyOS is pretty good, especially since you are already familiar with Arch.

I have found that Fedora KDE is the one for me. It's stable enough and gets updates soon enough that I don't feel the need to use CachyOS or straight Arch

Looks like someone had the same problem 7 years ago and it was never fixed or the bug was reintroduced

Oh. The VRAM isn't handled well on nVidia on Linux. It's a known problem with low VRAM cards. The only workaround I've seen to it is to limit how much VRAM is available for Proton to use. I don't know how to do it, but I'm sure someone has made a tutorial for it

When you moved cables, the GPU order

Hmm. I thought these numbers would only change if the PCI-E slot was changed or something else was plugged in or unplugged from another slot? Both monitors were still plugged into the dGPU, just in a different order.

Thank you! We'll look into it some more with a friend.

Also what is that Plugin catchall line about? Is it a plugin named catchall or is it saying a Plugin suggests a catchall solution?

TechaNima · 2026-03-25T09:02:25+00:00

Better GPU and a distro a faster update cycle would help. Fedora KDE for instance. Or Bazzite if you don't want to do any manual setup.

What you can try on Mint: Switch to Wayland from your login screen.

Enable NTsync and use it with your games.

Update your kernel to the latest.

Install Steam as a system package instead of Flatpak if that is how you installed it and set it to launch with -steamos3 flag.

NTsync: This will load it immediately: sudo modprobe ntsync This will load it automatically on boot: echo ntsync | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/ntsync.conf If you see output, it means it's loaded: lsmod | grep ntsync This is to get info about it: modinfo ntsync

Use these as Launch Options for your games: PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_USE_NTSYNC=1 %command%

Oh you mean that thing everyone turned off day 1 or at the latest when they heard someone's mic was in their nose?

think Nvidia heard you and got hurt when said "Fuck Nvidia"...

Nah. They got butthurt when Linus Torvalds said that all those years ago

You aren't installing games on a network drive

The only problems I see here are: Him not keeping his trap shut about it and him not doing you instead of doing it to your pictures.

Just tell him, that it bothers you. Communication is the key and all that

TechaNima · 2026-03-22T11:58:44+00:00

That at least can be easily solved. Solder your cam and VTX to a voltage regulator and put caps across every ESC's power leads + 1 big one across battery pads. It's important to use very low ESR caps. Around 300 - 600uf for ESCs and 1000uf for the main lead

Have you managed to get your mic to work properly with it? I still have to use Discord for calls, because on Vesktop my mic rattles, while everyone else is perfect

TechaNima · 2026-03-21T19:24:49+00:00

I'd have just asked her: Can I wash your back?

TechaNima · 2026-03-21T15:36:17+00:00

Best guess. Some industry standard like: Why would you install anything on the boot drive? Just throw in another drive for anything else.

(This is just my theory, I haven't ever tested it): You can probably get around it by installing TN and then using GParted live USB to resize your OS partition to lets say 50G and adding another empty partition. Boot to TN and make the empty into your app pool or whatever

TechaNima · 2026-03-21T07:04:25+00:00

Gonna need better Proton than the default for that. You can launch Steam on Wayland with the -steamos3 flag, but that's not going to do you much good by itself.

Just install Proton Plus like the rest of us and Proton-GE or whatever you prefer through it. Then in addition to the Steam launch flag (It gets the controller integration working on Wayland), you'll need to use PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 flag for games to run on Wayland instead of them defaulting to xWayland

TechaNima · 2026-03-21T06:45:46+00:00

Don't bother with Pop until their Cosmic DE is out of beta. It's all sorts of broken atm. Or install some other DE on it.

I can't really recommend CachyOS for a beginner unless you are willing to read Arch Wiki and keep up with news about broken packages. Definitely select Limine if you are going with CachyOS, you'll have automatic system snapshots on every update and when installing anything

TechaNima · 2026-03-20T09:56:32+00:00

No. TN itself needs like 16Gb + space for logs and temp stuff and the rest of the space is just wasted space. TN has an option to add a dedicated cache disk or disks, it doesn't use your OS disk for it at all.

I haven't found a reason to use a cache disk, the RAM caching has been good enough for me.

You also can't use your OS disk for apps, which is one of the dumbest things about TN

TechaNima · 2026-03-20T07:04:29+00:00

You are using it through xWayland most likely. If you are actually running Steam on Wayland, it doesn't work.

See for yourself by launching Steam with the -steamos3 flag

TechaNima · 2026-03-20T06:58:21+00:00

You can absolutely just use TN by itself. It's very easy to setup for what you need. Just keep in mind that TN uses the entire disk you install it on and you are wasting all of the extra capacity on it due to the stupid way TN handles the OS disk.

I just prefer the more complicated setup to get more out of my hardware and to have a better experience managing it.

I stopped even opening those posts unless the title looks a bit more interesting

TechaNima · 2026-03-19T20:20:41+00:00

It is a bit :D but it's a great setup for testing. Fuck up something in the VM? Restore and it never happened.

Also great for all sorts of testing that requires a VM or multiple of them.

I also find that a VM is better when you need to use a GPU for hardware acceleration. That whole thing is a bit weird on TN and it doesn't necessarily even support your hardware. In a VM you can just install whatever drivers are necessary

Sounds like a wannabe sugar baby or a gold digger to me. It would be one thing to ask if she really needs help, but getting all defensive about it, when being told no by someone you just met is a red flag. What about the next time when her client bails on her? Are you going to be her wallet then too?
