You got it working by appending -forcedesktopscaling 2, right? try appending that so it is /usr/bin/steam-native -forcedesktopscaling 2.

I would bet that your steam command is a link pointing to /usr/bin/steam-native. You could find out with which steam | xargs ls -al

This is pretty accurate.

I agree with the other commenter. Having them placed in a more realistic configuration would be much better. The one they posted looks a lot more playable.

I love my electric drum set. Playing acoustic drums are LOUD. Like so loud that if anyone is in the house, they can't watch TV or even have a conversation. And if you live in an apartment, forget about it. Electric drums get really expensive, but just being able to plug headphones in is invaluable.

How I learned to play drums was actually by playing Rock Band and Guitar hero (the later ones had drums, too). It sounds silly, but it teaches you to move your limbs independently and some basic patterns that lots of drummers use. I haven't tried this, but you might be able to connect a Rock Band drum set to your computer, and get a program to make it act like an electric drum set. It might be a decent starter kit. I think the Guitar Hero drums might be a little better for this, as they have dedicated cymbals and 6 total pads, compared to Rock Band's 5 pads (including the bass pedal in both). Neither one has a hi-hat pedal, which is a shame. But it might be good enough for a beginner.

I use openSUSE and Plasma. I can just right click the start menu thing, and click "Edit Applications". Fro m there, I find Steam (Games -> Steam). And you can edit the command in the "Program" box.

I did something similar to get Steam to run in my GPU, since it was killing my CPU performance by running on the integrated GPU. It worked fine for me!

Good luck!

I'm a programmer. Sometimes I solve a really hard programming problem in a clever way with very few lines of code, and I feel like I'm the smartest person in the world. Other times I can't solve a really simple problem and I realize that I'm actually a moron that gets lucky sometimes.

Not sure exactly what metric you are referring to for poor performance or in what conditions the mesh would achieve the poor performance you are referring to. As a former lead engineer on a mesh router system, I can assure you that mesh systems are capable of very high performance if done correctly and set up properly. Just about everyone uses them as far as I am aware. You wouldn't have one wireless access point for a whole massive building.

This happened to me. It actually started with, "I accidentally told this wifi router salesman guy at a trade show that I would listen to his sales pitch. Now he's coming to our office in an hour to give it. Can you sit in on the meeting with me so I'm not alone? You know a lot about wifi, right?"

I didn't even know what the meeting was about. I assumed he was trying to sell our office a wifi mesh system, which we already had. It wasn't until about halfway through that I realized that he was trying to sell us these routers+source code so we could integrate them into our product line and resell them. And then I realized how many of our problems that would solve, so I started asking questions. Next thing I knew, I was the lead engineer on a wifi mesh system.

It was a super fun project, though. And I got lots of raises and a title increase for taking it on.

The gaming communities are the only negative ones I have. It's really sad, because I really want to be in gaming communities, but I just can't stand all the negativity all of the time.

Hi all. I'm hoping to get some help from folks with more Linux experience than me. I'm not a Linux noob, but I'm far from an expert, and I have some huge gaps in my knowledge.

I have a Synology NAS that I am using for media storage, and I have a separate Linux server that is using that data. Currently the NAS is mounted with samba. it automatically mounts at boot via an entry in /etc/fstab. This is working okay, but I don't like how samba handles file ownership. The whole volume mounts as the user who mounts it (specified in fstab for me), and all the files in the volume are owned by that user. So if I wanted two users on my server to have their own directory, I would need to mount each directory separately for each user. This is workable in simple scenarios, but if I wanted to move my Lemmy instance volumes to my NAS, the file ownership of the DB and the pictrs volumes would get lost and the users in the containers wouldn't be able to access the data.

Is there a way to configure samba to preserve ownership? Or is there an alternate to samba that I can use that supports this?

Edit:

Okay, so I set up NFS, and it appears to do what I want. All of the user IDs carry over when I cp -a my files. My two users can write to directories that I set up for them that are owned by them. It seems all good on the surface. So I copied my whole lemmy folder over and tried to start up the containers, and postgres still crashes. The logs say "Permssion denied" and "chmod operation not permitted" back and forth forever. I tried to log into my container and see what is going on. Inside the container, root can't access a directory, which is bizarre. The container's root user can access that directory when I am running the container in my local filesystem. As a test, I tried copying the whole lemmy directory from my local filesystem to my local filesystem (instead of from local to NFS), and it worked fine.

I think this exact thing might be out of the scope of my original question, and I might need to make a post on [email protected] instead, as what I wanted originally has been accomplished with NFS.

Hi all,

I currently have a Linux install from an old 256GB SATA SSD that I inherited. It was originally used as a swap drive in another person's RAID server for about 7 years, then it was given to me, where I put my own Linux install that I have been running for about 5 years.

About a year ago, I acquired a new computer that has an NVMe SSD. It originally ran windows, but I dropped in my SSD with my Linux install, installed grub on the NVMe SSD, and booted to the old SSD.

I am mildly concerned about with this SSD being so old, it could crap out on me eventually. I remember that being a topic of discussion when SSDs first hit the market (i.e. when the one that I am using was made). So I was thinking of wiping the 1TB NVMe SSD that is currently unused in this computer and migrating my install to it. Now, I know I could copy my whole disk with dd, then expand the partition to make use of the space. But I was wondering if I could change the filesystem to something that had snapshots (such as btrfs).

Is it possible to do this, or to change filesystems do I need to create a new Linux install and copy all the files over that I want to keep?
