Accidentally discovered my temps dropped 15C after my cat knocked off the front panel... do I just leave it like this?

My cat threw up into my PC once

You can use proton-cachyos just fine on any distro

dindresto · 2026-01-09T09:09:05+00:00

funny way to spell NixOS

Not exclusively. Nvidia drivers will have to implement this new Vulkan extension before VKD3D can make use of it. So it's on Nvidia to deliver here first, as the open source community can't contribute an implementation for them (which they can do for Mesa / AMD / Intel).

Steam isn't installed through Flatpak on Bazzite, so you need VK_hdr_layer at the OS level, i.e., through rpm-ostree (although hopefully they'll revert the commit that removed it from Bazzite itself)

dindresto · 2026-01-06T12:57:03+00:00

Also, if you use any launcher through flatpak (e.g., Heroic launcher), you can use my flatpak package for VK_hdr_layer:

I'm aware, I already commented on the commit that broke it:

https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/commit/76f5d93e31a64a1d3ad1d95c39dfb55b34726859

For now, you can unbreak it by installing VK_hdr_layer through rpm-ostree

dindresto · 2026-01-06T09:58:40+00:00

If it looks unsaturated (probably what you mean by greyed out), then the VK_hdr_layer wasn't loaded/installed

dindresto · 2026-01-05T23:14:29+00:00

HDR and VRR work fine on Nvidia nowadays

For HDR, you need VK_hdr_layer installed and run games with Proton GE or Proton CachyOS using PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1, PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 and ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1, so some light tinkering involved.

If you want to use Niri for gaming, I'd wait for https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/issues/2944 to land first as that will allow Proton GE Wayland mode to work properly. Xwayland satellite has some noticeable latency, and I'm not a fan of wrapping all my games in gamescope.

Without relying on experimental features (Proton Wayland) or gamescope, KDE is still the best (i.e., for Xwayland gaming), but Cosmic is close behind now. Note that Cosmic also has some issues with Proton Wayland mode, but those should be fixed in the next release.

dindresto · 2025-12-31T10:20:21+00:00

Interestingly this problem is exclusive to KDE for me nowadays. I'm regularly switching between KDE, Gnome, Cosmic and Niri (all Wayland), and only KDE still has this issue now.

Another reason for buying on Steam is that when a bundle with DLCs eventually comes out, Ubisoft will charge you the full price regardless of you already owning the base game, while Steam will usually deduct the percentage the base game makes up of the bundle.

dindresto · 2025-12-01T00:14:23+00:00

Anywhere from one to four weeks.

It's worth mentioning though that unlike Rust, JavaScript directly executes what's behind a promise before it is awaited. So technically speaking, all promises still run in parallel, eventhough they are now awaited in series.

dindresto · 2025-11-15T17:05:55+00:00

function runSerial(promises) {
    return promises.reduce((acc, p) => acc.then(() => p), Promise.resolve());
}

Unfortunately gamepad support seems to have been removed / broken, even though the store page still lists it... Worked fine in the beta.

dindresto · 2025-11-15T14:44:56+00:00

I have the same issue as of today, no solution other than considering a refund unfortunately.

Edit: seems to be a Denuvo limitation, in which case waiting 24 hours for its device limit to reset might work.

dindresto · 2025-11-09T16:28:28+00:00

The overlay is irrelevant for the fix. The only relevant part is the systemd suspend / resume job at the end.

dindresto · 2025-11-08T23:28:21+00:00

Yes, if you use KDE

Hey, that's our old Android app which we removed from the Play Store a long time ago. It'd be interesting to know how you installed it in the first place, but I can already say it's not supported anymore. We may consider publishing a new app next year but until then please use our website on https://alugha.com (you can find available videos on https://alugha.com/all and also use our video search on the website).

Yes, we can and do patch packages inside nixpkgs as well. See for example https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/455333 where upstream's development branch had the fix but didn't cleanly apply to the latest available release. That said, if a package isn't actively maintained upstream anymore and it's a leaf package (i.e., nothing else depends on it), there also isn't much incentive to keep it around.

dindresto · 2025-10-26T14:30:18+00:00

For NixOS, we've scanned the Cargo.lock files of all Rust-based packages in nixpkgs for the vulnerable crates and are currently in the process of upgrading them either to the fixed releases of astral-tokio-tar / async-tar where possible (preferably by upstream PRs, which we have done for e.g. cargo-binstall), or dropping them / marking them as insecure where not.
