I might be being dumb here but are these things Mullvad are implementing on the browser level or is it strictly when running through their VPN?

I already use Mullvads VPN but still prefer LibreWolf as my browser.

I'm normally not someone who gets hung up on fonts but this one thing bugs me SO MUCH.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah pretty much.

Unless you want to build your own car from the ground up, which you can do in most places if it passes safety regulations. But that takes time, money, workspace and knowing what you're even doing.

Sorry, that just sounds annoying and less productive.

It is but the "holy trinity" of Ui/UX design Apple, Google and Microsoft have been pushing this for years now.

My eye twitches anytime I go onto a webpage that's just a phone app in the middle of my screen with two blank voids on either side.

EndeavourOS has a pretty nice colour scheme and wallpaper going by default.

If I was forced to use a default distro look, it would be that or Linux Mint probably.

I've been using it for years just to translate my PS4 controller to Xbox so it works with most games

Rules for thee but not for me

Pretty sure they do? Unless you're talking about a different DRM thing.

I'm gonna keep using and recommending LibreWolf for the foreseeable future.

But I wonder what other alternative web engines do we have with both Chromium and Gecko being run by advertisers now?

I know Palemoon runs a fork of a really old version of a Gecko and I used it for a bit back when Firefox 58 broke most add-ons. But I'm a bit iffy of it's security these days.

Sadly I found out the Linux version hasn't gotten the latest update so you gotta run it through Proton if you want Co-op with people on Windows.

No Besiege fans in here? Probably the most relaxing way to cause complete chaos and destruction.

As a newer Linux user I really like flatpaks.

I don't use them for most things I install but proprietary apps I want sandboxed or programs that have weird issues with dependencies I grab the flatpak.

I got this Harley Benton DC Junior a few years ago and it's been my main axe since.

Only issue is it has the worse tuning stability of any guitar I've owned, Not only going out of tune but getting it to correct pitch can be spotty in the first place.

Any ideas for replacement tuning machines? I've already replaced the nut with a graphtech one a while back and it only slightly helped when tuning up. I also don't mind drilling new screw holes if need be.

I just got Deck a few days ago. At first I was trying to sync files (Minecraft worlds, Gamesaves etc) using Syncthing but my WiFi was too spotty for it to work consistently and kept disconnecting. It also makes downloading games take forever, I can download a 30gb game in around 2+ hours on my wired desktop but it took almost half a day to download the same game on my Deck.

I eventually found DeckMTP which lets you just copy files over USB C like you would do on your phone. But even after switching my Bios USB setting to DRD it still wouldn't connect to my Linux desktop.

Apparently some SteamDeck bios update broke the DeckMTP plugin? But I'm finding a lot of conflicting information on the cause and solutions online, People saying it still works fine or that I have to update the bios manually or downgrade it to a previous version. Please tell me someone here knows what's going on? Thanks in advance!

(Bonus update) I'm back on KDE6 and it's actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn't work but I'm only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27

(Update) Well finally back on my desktop but sadly not on my original install, Thanks for all the help and advice! Sadly every path just sent me into another brick wall, I'm starting to think my drive itself is physically failing as I couldn't mount it in chroot and even had trouble reformatting it...I'll keep an eye on it and not save anything important to it.

I've decided I'm just not cut out for vanilla Arch just yet and gone back to Endeavour but this time with Cinnamon (for now) Thanks again!

After upgrading to KDE 6 and experiencing too many bugs for it to be useable for me I went back to a snapshot I made right before upgrading.

Now I've spent half my Friday tracking down different systemctl errors and trying to fix corrupted conf files from live USB environments, physically unplugged all but my nvme boot drive.

Rn I'm in a situation where I'm getting

[FAILED] Failed to mount /boot. See 'systemctl status boot.mount' for details [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System.

Then it's asking to give root password or press control-D, which I've dealt with before but this time my keyboard just doesn't work

I tried to just sort it myself reading the Arch Wiki before begging for help on forums but I'm kinda at my wits end, This is a pretty new Arch installed and the first time using btfs on my main drive, I last updated maybe 4 days ago before today. I've also successfully restored from timeshift snapshots on this install before without issues.

Any help where to go from here would be great, thanks in advance.

(Solution) I was missing lib32-libpulse from my install, I guess it was a default on EndeavourOS and that's why I never knew about it.

I have both my monitors in-build speakers disabled within KDEs audio panel and have my FiiO USB DAC set as the default audio output.

But games running through Lutris are still outputting audio through my monitor and won't detect my DAC, even cycling through the outputs in game won't show the correct one. I've tried forcing the audio output using the Wine Configuration panel on Lutris and it seems to do nothing.

This is on a fresh Arch install using pipewire, I never had this issue running the same games with the same system setup on Pop_OS or EndeavourOS.

Hopefully someone has a fix, Thanks in advance!

Belfast Doom trio I got turned onto a few years back and can't get enough of! Sadly missed my last opportunity to catch them live, hopefully it'll get to soon!

I've been collecting vinyl for about 2 years but only got the turntable last week, but my existing USB headphone amp didn't work with it so I grabbed a Fosi tube headphone amp which sounds great!

The Monolord LP was the first vinyl I got as an impulse purchase when I saw the band live, I'm finally able to spin it up :)

I've been playing Black Ops 3 through Proton just fine until a few days ago some of the textures mainly transparent ones like glass turned bright white, It happened after I switch from running the game on GE-Proton 8-9 to 8-25.

I've tried everything I could think of, switching back to 8-9 and regular Proton Experimental, manually clearing the vulkan cache and even reinstalling the whole game after making sure no files were left over.

Any ideas how to fix this? I am using an Nvidia GPU, which is normally the cause of my problems...

I've been using Krusader for a few months after looking for something similar to Double Commander which I used years ago, It's been mostly great but I've been having a few issues mainly when transferring or archiving larger files.

I've found making zip & tar archives with in Krusader takes a lot longer than doing so in Dolphin, Also I've recently been having issues when trying to copy or move large amounts of data to separate drives, last night I had a transfer fail on me twice then take a lot longer than expected when I finally fixed that issue.

I've already looked back at double commander and some of it's forks but stuff like most of them lacking a dark mode has been putting me off using them regularly. I'd ideally like it to be Qt based to it fits my KDE theming, But running a GTK program isn't a deal breaker for me.

Any advice or ideas would be great thanks in advance!
