Confetti Camouflage

Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

Can you link the original quote? I feel like there is a lot of context missing here.

What is wrong about it?

From what I understand in the article the prototype TCL panel being demonstrated is actually 4k@1000hz. They mention a few competitors with multiple modes right after which could be where the confusion comes from.

The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.

The XDG Base Directory Specification is a set of guidelines to tell application developers where they should store their application’s config files, cache, etc.

There are many applications that don’t follow the guidelines and put their files in a hidden folder directly in your home directory, which is what the guidelines are trying to combat.

You can actually get Vulkan on GCN 1 and 2 cards through the AMDGPU driver set. It’s just not enabled by default because support is in beta status limbo. YMMV though because a reason I remember upgrading from an R9 280 (HD 7950 refresh) was to get better driver support.

Can you elaborate on what specifically makes ALSA bad, and what you mean by HAL audio drivers?

“Natural scrolling” just reverses the scroll direction. Pushing the mouse wheel up will scroll the content down. It’s called “natural” because it’s similar to the way you drag content around on touch screens.

Out of all the email clients I’ve tried, Thunderbird has been the only one that seems to fetch email the instant it comes in, as well as just being all around well featured. I haven’t tried Betterbird but from the name I assume it’s a fork of Thunderbird so it’s probably good as well.

Nothing inherently wrong with NTFS itself as a filesystem besides being proprietary, and Microsoft supplies absolutely no support for using it in Linux. All the work done to get it running in Linux has been from the ground up and it shows. Many times I’ve had a hiccup on my external drives and they completely lock up until they’re repaired on a windows machine. Unfortunately NTFS is one of the only journaled file system that works on both Windows, Apple, and Linux.

There has also been a lot of advances for filesystems like checksumming so you know when you get bitrot. Or copy-on-write which can take snapshots of a file and then further changes are stored as the difference. You can then rollback to any snapshot you’ve taken.

AFAIK the problems are exclusive to the 3rd gen line.

The biggest thing was sometimes all output coming out as a distorted clipping mess, with nothing fixing it but a reboot. It was random and I can’t tell why it happens. Other than that it’s a lot of more minor stuff like the configuration software being Windows exclusive.

I can recommend NOT getting a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen. It does not play well with Linux. It still can work but has issues.

Thanks, this is kind of a huge detail that was left out.
