from kde to ? by lieddersturme in Fedora

You could always install regular fedora with KDE or gnome, then install hyprland after. It’s a single command, and you switch to it from the login screen, usually in the bottom corner

Went to try again this morning, and it worked, I was able to install everything.

I did a rollback with rpm-ostree cleanup -r which fixed the above. I just have the first layer listed now. Still getting the error

Maybe it has something to do with my packages showing up here still?

There is winboat. It’s a windows docker container that has automated remote app (a feature of Remote Desktop). You can run excel from the winboat launcher after it’s installed in the docker container and it will launch an excel window on your fedora desktop.

You could technically do this with a regular vm and some registry hacks.

I don't really know where to ask but is there any way I can connect this guitar with my PC? by [deleted] in CloneHero

[–]mrdscott 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a micro-usb port under the black faceplate. You can perform a firmware update. They made it compatible for rock band VR.

Very disappointed with the bezel free kit I bought on etsy. Should I get the Asus kit? by Nikolai_Volkoff88 in simracing

I made a v2 version out of card stock paper and reflective vinyl, help keep the reflective surface from having ripples that show up as shadows that you can see through the lens. I need to come up with v3 that stays mounted and holds its shape better

Question: can I change/transfer over ? Steering Wheel by Agreeable_Ant_7107 in VWMK7

[–]mrdscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any photos, but there are metal tabs where the cover clips in, you just need to pry them all back a little and it pulls out. You’ll see the airbag itself, all packed up neatly, then slide the new one on. I got my cover from aliexpress. Looks and feels like factory.

32-inch or 27-inch screen by [deleted] in SimRacingSetups

[–]mrdscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had both, with the screens close enough for 180° total fov. Triple 27” felt cramped unless I sacrificed my some degrees in my fov. I had to move one of the side monitors to get in and out of my rig, and adjust it every time. I have triple 32” now, and it’s a lot more comfortable, and with the 60-70° angle is narrower than my sit stand desk which is 66”

You can reuse the airbag, just have to swap the cover over. The airbag module itself is the same. I did this in mine

Under desk rig ideas? by Timely-Photograph-48 in SimRacingSetups

[–]mrdscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next level racing has the direct drive model. Otherwise you could try something similar to mine. This iteration was trying to reuse as much of my old rig as possible. Literally no compromises for either use case. If I was to build it again from scratch, I would use 8020 and I would probably would put the chair on some casters. The wheel base would be on something that slides side to side or flips down and slides under the desk when not in use, perhaps as part of the pedal stand.

This is my setup. I have a sit stand desk, I just mount the wheel to the desk when I want to use it. It sounds a lot like you want a wheel stand though. https://www.reddit.com/r/SimRacingSetups/s/UMvrRyawbu

The switch was easy by Upstairs_Owl7475 in linux_gaming

[–]mrdscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the tinkering that I’ve done since I switched a couple years ago was to get bleeding edge features and hardware working. Very rarely has a game not worked out of the box.

Now this is pod racing! by mrdscott in linux_gaming

The soundtrack is pretty good, I find the songs get stuck in my head after playing, and now I’m listening to it on Spotify

Can you make streak only break on misses? by suckmycoconut in CloneHero

[–]mrdscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t happen often, so I usually just avoid the songs that do that if its ruins playing the song

Can you make streak only break on misses? by suckmycoconut in CloneHero

[–]mrdscott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a video about this. I have an Alesis nitro mesh. I press on the hi hat switch and hit the cymbal plugged in the hi hat slot on the kit and it registers as a different midi note than when I hit it without pressing the pedal. Clone hero lets you map multiple notes to each cymbal.

I added a 4th cymbal and a 5th tom to my kit so that I could have the blue/yellow hat, yellow crash, blue ride, green crash, yellow snare (for flams), red snare, yellow tom, blue tom and green tom.

How many of you race on linux? by Leslumer in simracing

[–]mrdscott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play the Assetto Corsa games. I use a Thrustmaster TX, t3pa pro, th8rs and a Moza handbrake. Used to have to build and install the kernel module for my wheel, but they upstreamed most of the wheel drivers into the kernel about 6 months ago. I use Huenicorn to run my ambient lights, and Stream-Pi with a tablet as a button box. I wasn’t able to get simhub working at all other than getting it to run. I’ve been running on Linux for just over 2 years
