Yeah, their gaming strategy is laughably hilarious: forcing a new graphics API on developers, going through the trouble of copying Proton into their Game Porting Toolkit, but then not allowing devs to actually ship games with it, etc.

Lately performance has improved dramatically. A year ago, it used to be about half-speed, but now it’s basically on par with a CLI-mount.

Which file manager are you using?

In Nautilus, you can right click anywhere and click Open in Console, at which point it will open up a terminal leading to a gvfs mount directory.

In KDE, it is slightly more annoying because there’s no right click option to quickly open it in terminal, but like gvfs, there’s a mount directory that you can access at /run/user//kio-fuse-/smb/.

It really needs proper federated search. I shouldn’t have to go to a secondary site just to search for videos across the network.

I agree, for most cases just mount it via your File Manager of choice. If you’re using it as a backing storage for another server, then that’s a use case where fstab is fine.

That’s my reasoning as well. Jif is for peanut butter, why make things extra confusing?

I hate how he cuts the video whenever an app is loading. I want to get a feel for how fast apps are launching. The fact that he’s cutting makes me think it must take forever for apps to launch.

The trick was to not use the -u option apparently. I also ran into this issue and that’s how I solved it. Strange how Pacman couldn’t just figure it out on its own.

Yeah, if you look at some of those YouTube channels that scam the scammers, you’ll usually see that the scammers are all running Windows.

No, you’re probably thinking of AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames, which is similar to what HDTVs do for motion smoothing and works at the driver level. FSR 3 requires game support.

It’s just as slow. I have a laptop with a Radeon 680M and I regularly have to wait for Vulkan shaders to be compiled. Most recent game I ran into this issue with was For Honor. Took about half an hour to get into the game.

Okay, that join-lemmy redesign needs to make its way to actual Lemmy instances. It looks so sick. Love the color palette and the animations.

changing settings in Network Manager.

What’s wrong with this method? I feel like this is the main one and it works well for me. Even if you were using systemd-resolved, I believe it still works.

If its reverting, you may have a fallback DNS configured somewhere, or your browser is using DNS over HTTPS, which sometimes will bypass whatever DNS server you’ve configured.

Yeah, just go into your connection profile and under the IPv4 tab, change the Method to Automatic (Only addresses), then specify your Pihole in the DNS servers box.

This driver broke VRR in both Xorg and Wayland for me. Anyone else seeing this?

Probably not best to do this because chances are he’s using NetworkManager which will override /etc/resolv.conf. Better to set it on the connection profile itself.

Others are chiming in on how to debug the issue where your Linux bootloader isn’t picking up Windows, but if you really need to access Windows for your work, you can try going into the BIOS and changing the boot order to launch from your Windows EFI partition. That usually still works even after installing Linux as its a separate EFI binary.

CriticalRole’s Sam Riegel also does amazingly hilarious ad reads that have me bowled over laughing most of the time.

There’s definitely ways to make ads more bearable without forcing them on users.

KDE Connect is still on my phone. Installed from Google Play Store.
