Oh “Vergissmeinnicht”, beautiful (“vergiss mich nicht”, german for “don’t forget me”)

I like the fact that Blueprint is being adopted. One step closer to stabelization. (:

I recently started a small project using Blueprint and Python. Still early days; nothing to go into detail, yet.

There seems to be a global option to reduce opacity, too. Anyway, I agree, contrast and readability is a problem with ideas like that.

Now, Phosh and Gnome look even better and more usable in comparison. But without Android apps or open APIs for all major services (to build native apps), postmarketOS can never be my daily driver for now.

At least, iOS changes like that increase the chance that the postmarketOS ecosystem will catch up. I whish I had the time or ressources to contribute in any fashion.

Can waydroid run on postmarketOS?

I started my niri and waybar config one year ago. Then the laptop died just after I was able to secure what I have done so far. I just havn’t found the time to update the config for my desktop. <_<

Finally, niri gets the attention it deserves!

But when will I make the move to it?

Yes. I can confirm, it works even on Gentoo. But I stick to the Flatpak version, anyway, because there I was able to tell it to use Xwayland instead of wayland directly (through Flatseal).

It seems the wayland support isn’t great yet and it tries to grab keys combination that are reserved for my window manager (Gnome). In the flatpak sandbox I don’t have any issues.

Only game running game detection will not work in the sandbox.

Or is there even a setting to tell it, using the X11 backend so that the keybind issues for the native version go away?

It is cute, isn’t it?

The “penguin” on the right is using a lot of LLM (“AI”) to get the job done.

I am using gentoo-sources-6.12 . Idk, how mainline that is. It is pretty upstream with some Gentoo patches, I guess.

To increase the responsiveness of the system I changed the default setting of the scheduler to prioritize user input over system background processes (I don’t remember the exact config name in the kernel). Other than that, I compiled it very close to Gentoo handbook recommendations: selecting only what I need and carefully choose between compiling drivers and features as a module or builtin.

Unfortunately I don’t have the same setup: I use the xboxdrv kernel module to use the PS5 controller for Steam games without native PS5 controller support. I deactivated Steam input for this game (Elite Dangerous, btw.).

I connect (USB) the controller before starting Steam. After connection I immediatly unload the hid_playstation module and start xboxdrv as root (I needed to create a custom mapping for it). Only after that I start Steam and can use the PS5 controller flawlessly in-game.

You might ask, why I am using a PS5 controller instead of an xbox controller. It’s all about ergonomics. The PS5 controller is simply better for me.

I wonder if showtime has yt-dlp support and could potentially replace mpv.

I wish the floating zoom controls would fade out more. Other then that, it is better than Evince.

Nowadays busy with making my useflags compatible with bin-packages to reduce time to update.

I am curious, though how adoption of this new feature is.

Subjectively, I think, KDE/Plasma would make me unproductive compared to Gnome, maybe not as much as being on Win11 for sure. Both are cluttered and distracting from my point of view.

I am looking forward to niri, because I realized that GTK is the real king that makes Gnome so awesome to use. Niri would make window management even better. (:

A word on new Linux users: I have seen most prefering Gnome, older people tend to prefer the Gnome classic, because they are used to the idea to see which programs are currently running (taskbar). And this makes it easier for me to help them, because it still behaves like a modern desktop.

The KDE/Plasma/XFCE/Cinamon users around me are all long time Linux users. They made a dicision for themselves and know how to use it.

Clearly, Gnome is the most modern looking of the three.

Nothing is graceful about Windows. [=

Unfortunately, yes. /:

I decided for the Dualsense, because of the ergonomics. Full feature support was not a priority in my case.

Does this game have support for the xbox 360 controller? If yes, you can try xboxdrv. It requires some manual config in a text file and you need to unload the dualsense driver before starting xboxdrv and the Steam client.

I have very good results in Elite Dangerous on Linux which has no Dualsense support at all.
