Change GeForce now keyboard layout? (feddit.de)
 

Is there some way to set the keyboard layout on GFN in the browser, or at least use the system keyboard layout from Gnome?

According to the Arch Wiki, i should start Chromium with --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint` and spoof the UserAgent to Windows, but this doesn't work anymore. There are no Keyboard area in the settings.

If I use GFN on Windows, the area for keyboard layout is working.

Or is there some way to copy the settings from windows via Cookies or any other storage method?

Gaming laptop with good Linux support? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Please don't laugh, this probably doesn't really fall into that category, but I wanted to keep it simple: Ark - Survival Evolved, Counter Strike but also games like Space Engineers. Ark causes relatively few problems. Space Engineers, on the other hand, does. Unlike Ark, it currently runs with very few FPS and often crashes or doesn't start at all. In general, I play more when I have time in the evening for 1 or 2 hours, comfortably on the sofa. So the laptop is more suitable.

Gaming laptop with good Linux support? (feddit.de)
 

A similar question was raised some day's ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I'm searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game's and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that's important...

Best chipset for Linux laptop, Intel or AMD? in c/[email protected]

I wonder the same, some time ago but for different reasons. If I have to buy a gaming laptop, what should I choose? Intel CPU and Nvidia was my best friend on Windows, but on Linux I'm totally unsure. I think AMD does a better job for gaming under Linux, but I have absolutely no idea if that's true.

Automount USB HDD ownership in c/[email protected]

Is there some variable to use as placeholder for the current logged in user, or do I have to use one gid/uid for all users on the laptop?

Automount USB HDD ownership (feddit.de)

I'm on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can't create new directory's on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop.

I can only switch to root, create the folder and change ownership of this new folder to the currently logged in user.

Is there any way to automount the USB hdd/stick with ownership of the currently logged in user?

Ohhh nice. I will try that one. Have used only a simple battle mixer and the good old sl-1200 mk2 for several years. Maybe it's time to try some digital mixer. Nice that there is something for Linux... Thx for the link.

systemd path unit questions in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Since the script I'm talking about, makes some changes to the synced files, this is not a job for Resilio Sync. For the sync job itself, I'm using SFTP, because this is the easiest to setup on all clients/platforms. I'm only interested how I could safely dedect, if the sync is finished and start the script to do it's job's. The tip with the changing file is nice. I'm using that for now. Absolute reliable so far, for this task.

systemd path unit questions (feddit.de)
 

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don't know how to do that. Any ideas?

Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?

Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow? in c/[email protected]

I've been testing KDE for several weeks now, XFCE before that but I'm back to Gnome. It just feels right. Everything is where I expect it to be. No searching in thousands of menus. What scares me about KDE is that there are tons of options and stuff that no one will ever need. Especially KMail I find just awful. So many options and you only find what you are looking for, after an extensive search via a search engine of your choice. This is totally frustrating. XFCE does a lot better here, but I miss the one or other pleasant animation when opening windows and the like. Gnome, on the other hand, isn't great either, but I feel most comfortable here.
