Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Inside Doom: The Dark Ages' Path Tracing Upgrade - The id Software Interview!English8·5 days agoI would prefer a Path Tracing downgrade to baked lighting and reflection probes.
The game runs at half the frame rate of Eternal while barely looking better when dashing through demons at high speed.
Doom Eternal runs flawlessly on the Steam Deck while Dark Ages is not even close to running well.
I really hate the modern triple A laziness of adding path tracing to every game, not providing any fallbacks and slapping in some DLSS and FSR so you can’t see the nice reflections and shadows anyway. It’s all a blurry and noisy mess that runs badly.

Still very cool and much tidier than doing it directly but I thought you could actually pull windows:latest now and get going.

I had winapps setup using QEMU quite a while ago but this seems like a much tidier setup.

Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto Linux@lemmy.ml•App for downsizing MP3s automatically when copying to a phone?20·14 days agoIf your device supports it, you might want to encode to Opus instead. Opus produces much higher quality files at much smaller file sizes than MP3.
For example, Opus at 128kbps is considered transparent when compared to the source file. You can probably go down to 64-96kbps when its just for playback in your car.

As for transcoding them, you might want to check out ffmpegfs: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs
It can create a “virtual” drive based on your source files and automatically transcodes them when you drag & drop files from there onto your device.
Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Ready or Not has sold 1 million units on console, 10 times faster than what was achieved on PC, proving that the 'censorship' was worth itEnglish161·27 days agoWell, they also lost all my future DLC sales.
Not because I mind the censorship but because it insults me that their PC playerbase is not even worth a simple toggle for the censorship.
Fedora Kinoite, because it fits my workflow the best and has a nice mixture of stable and leading edge.
Everything I run was containerized either way (Flatpak, Docker or Podman) long before I switched to an immutable distro.
I have lots of different development environments for various versions of different programming languages that are incredibly easy to setup, throw away and recreate with toolbox without having to dive into the language specific tools for creating virtual environments (venv, conda, …). On regular Linux/Windows systems I end up at a point after a few years where there is junk laying around everywhere from 6 different PHP versions, 7 gcc variants and 8 .NET versions.
I was on Fedora KDE before that and the main reason for choosing it was that Ubuntu/Debian/Mint were too old to include firmware for my GPU. Arch and derivatives are on the opposite side of the spectrum and are too new for my taste, I’m fine with waiting a few weeks for .1 versions to release with bugfixes.
As for why not Bazzite or Aurora: Because I wanted to be as close to the original (Fedora & KDE) as possible. The modifications those distros make (and I need), I can do myself in a few minutes.
I do recommend Bazzite or Aurora for less experienced people though, they have a lot of tweaks that Kinoite is really lacking. Kinoite, just like the Fedora KDE variant has a lot of polishing issues that quickly become gigantic obstacles for beginners (Nvidia drivers, Flathub repository, H264/H265 codecs, missing udev rules, …)
Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto Linux@lemmy.ml•Researching making the switch from Windows on my main PC and I have questions.3·2 months agoI don’t have a Behringer UV1 but I do have an UMC404HD and an UMC202HD. Both work flawlessly on Linux out of the box.
Doesn’t work for me unfortunately, always falls back to CPU ever since the packages were split up.
Looks like you’re right.
I switched to it when Alpaca stopped working on AMD GPUs and was under the impression it is open source.
Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto Linux@lemmy.ml•Daily driver work-from-home on Bazzite? Or something more mainstream (Debian?) and install Steam/proton?31·2 months agoDistrobox is much more suitable for installing RPMs on immutable distros, unless they need deep system access (e.g. Docker).
Bazzite even ships with DistroShelf for that purpose.
Just create a Fedora container for RPMs and a Ubuntu/Debian container for DEBs and install them there.
LM Studio is by far my favorite. Supports all GPUs out of the box on Linux and has tons of options.
Anyone wanna yell at me for being an idiot and doing everything wrong?
Not yell, but: Jellyfin is dropping HTTPS support with a future update so you might want to read up on reverse proxies before then.
Additionally, you might want to check if Shodan has your Jellyfin instance listed: https://www.shodan.io/
It does!
If you want to actually digitally sign you can add a key in your OS and then go to “Tools -> Digitally sign” where you can choose a background image which you then can drag where you want to have it.
If you only want your written signature in there, you can create a stamp for it. Click on the arrow beside “Yellow Highlighter” (or whichever tool you have selected) in the top right corner. Select “Configure Annotations” and hit “Add…”.
Make the type a stamp, give it a name like “Signature” and select an image you want to use. After that save and apply.
You can now select your stamp in the top right corner and place it anywhere by clicking or dragging over the PDF.
As a side note, depending on where you live a written signature in a PDF is meaningless at least in terms of legally binding documents.
Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?English4·2 months agoI use Jellyfin with Finamp on Android/PC and the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi on my HTPC.
The Jellyfin plugin does movies/shows too and not just music but it handles music playback as well. For a dedicated music box I’m not sure if I would use Kodi for it.

Domi@lemmy.secnd.meto Linux@lemmy.ml•How to deploy Docker images to Raspberry Pi w/o using a image registry7·3 months agoWhy not run the image registry on the Raspberry Pi itself? Then you can do your builds on your regular machine and push them to your Raspberry Pi when done.
They don’t do the same thing: Sunshine is intended to stream a single physical desktop.
Games on Whales runs headlessly and creates virtual desktops for each session in a Docker environment.
For example, you can create an instance that runs at 800p so you can stream to your Steam Deck at its native resolution. You can even still use your desktop normally since the streams run in the background.
Both of them support connection via Moonlight.
