KDE Plasma, yes that happens when electron apps run in native Wayland mode

Except it also has said issue. Additionally it causes my VPN connection to drop when watching streams, and does noise cancellation despite that option being disabled.

As a person who used to do Hackintoshes I am impressed people got it to boot on a Steam Deck

It’s possible your screens electrically disconnect themselves when going to sleep, which makes Plasma refresh its desktop layout, causing flickering.

My Asus screen does this when powered off but not in standby. That used to crash Plasma Wayland back in 5.24 lol

Not all of them. Full scan of hardware is performed only when participating in a survey or requesting a hardware report. An example is Steam on my PC not detecting a SteamVR native headset (goggles icon doesn’t appear) until I’ll launch VR mode.

Iirc there’s a setting for Wireplumber (in case you’re using PipeWire) to disable that behaviour when a BT mic is being picked up

Thanks, it’s a heavily modified VRChat avatar called Rindo, in case you’re curious :3 : https://booth.pm/en/items/3443188

At first I was tipping my toes in Ubuntu but kept coming back to Windows as I kept running into stability issues. Googling my issues very frequently kept sending me to the Arch wiki, and I thought “well if they have so much covered, why not use this distro instead”. That and 196 subreddit (rule) made me try Arch, and my experience was noticeably better. Barely any crashes and improving Proton compatibility made me use it more and more. I kept a windows install for VR and anti-cheat enabled games until late 2023.

During my transition period (both in Linux and gender lol) between 2021 and now, I kept getting comments “why are you making your life harder with Linux, just use Windows where everything works”. Well, nowadays tables have turned and now I get to say “weird it works for me on Linux”. Except VR, it’s still a mixed experience.

If I’m not mistaken Valve said they want to release it for desktops

This sounds like the chicken or egg debate

I’d like to see those numbers stacked against modern Proton/Wine-GE solutions focused on gaming, rather than stock Wine

And Discord for communication

Arch, roughly 2 months ago

Uninstalling Xwayland breaks it, you’re greeted to a black background and your mouse pointer.

Additionally, as per their own website, it says “The workspaces have been developed for X11 and much functionality relies on X11. To be able to make proper use of Wayland these bits have to be rewritten.”

KWin is just a composer though. Plasma as a desktop environment still relies on XWayland

I find that ironic as in SDR mode Plasma says EDID colour profiles tend to be very inaccurate

I run foobar2000 to transcode music, apply ReplayGain and edit tags. Except I do all of that on Linux through Wine, I have no clue why someone needs Windows for foobar

I think you’re talking about CPU governors (conservative, ondemand, powersave etc.)

Changing schedulers on-the-fly, depending on what you need to do on your machine.

You’re on X or Wayland?
