  • Do you use a USB bluetooth dongle?

    If yes, add a small USB extension cable between the dongle and the port, a few centimeters are enough.

    If no, antennas improve reliability a lot. I swapped my internal M.2 bluetooth module to a more modern one and added magnetic antennas to the side of my case. No more disconnects since then (without xpadneo).

  • Windows Games’ Compatibility on Linux Is at an All-Time High

  • The game is Steam Deck verified and the developer even noted that Steam Deck support for the new anti-cheat was tested before release. I played a few hours right after release and it worked fine, so not sure when "initially" is.

  • KDE Plasma 6.5 released

    Jump

  • I also think Gnome is much prettier than KDE but KDE is a fully working desktop environment that does not need extensions to get it to a working state so here I am.

    (Although I would not call KDE ugly)

  • The Latest Xbox Exclusive [Keeper, from Double Fine] Has Debuted To Less Than 200 Players On Steam

    Jump

  • I didn't get this because it's not Steam Deck verified on launch and it does not support ultrawide resolutions out of the box.

    You can do better Double Fine.

  • The Matrix server is a normal Signal client that can encrypt/decrypt messages from your account.

    Assuming you trust your server, no. I would not use it on a third party Matrix server.

  • Ah, the issues with new games. (BF6)

    Jump

  • Is that picture real? That game only had a 750.000 player peak on Steam but you're telling me 300.000 of them landed in a queue?

    Did they not prepare their infrastructure for the launch at all?

  • FreeTube + Customized MPV: Guide to a Temporary Solution

    Jump

  • It does work via Flatpak, you have to give Freetube the "D-Bus session bus" permission and then put the following in your external player settings (this launches the flatpak mpv):

    External player

    mpv

    Custom External Player Executable:

    flatpak-spawn

    Custom External Player Arguments:

    --host flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv

    <any mpv arguments you need>

  • Microsoft is killing another workaround to set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • my goal is to consolidate sources to multiple outputs not to separate them.

    Works the same way, just in reverse.

    Put the following in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/10-virtual.conf

     
        
context.objects = [
    {   factory = adapter
        args = {
            factory.name     = support.null-audio-sink
            node.name        = "Virtual-Sink-1"
            node.description = "Virtual Sink 1"
            media.class      = "Audio/Sink"
            audio.position   = "FL,FR"
        }
    }
]

    If you need more than stereo, you can adjust it in audio.position. If you need multiple devices, just copy/paste the block between the {} multiple times and rename the device.

    After that restart your system, you should now have a new audio device called Virtual Sink 1, select it as default device.

    Start qpwgraph and connect the Virtual sink(s) to your output device(s) by dragging the monitor nodes to the playback nodes:

    You can now try if everything sounds correctly. If it does, hit Ctrl + S in qpwgraph to save your patchbay somewhere. It will save all the connections you just made and establish them on start and on the fly if new devices are added.

    Next up, add an autostart entry for qpwgraph. This depends on your desktop environment, add the --minimized flag so you don't see the qpwgraph window every boot. You can also select "Start minimized to system tray" in "Graph" -> "Options".

    If you only need certain applications to go to both devices, you can also achieve this without the virtual device by just dragging your application node directly to your bluetooth device in qpwgraph and saving the patchbay, it will route the audio automatically every time the application starts.

  • Check out qpwgraph: https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.rncbc.qpwgraph

    It's like Helvum but it can save patchbays and restore them on boot.

    The easiest solution is to create a virtual audio device through your Pipewire config and then use qpwgraph to link them up to your physical device on boot.

    I can copy my Pipewire virtual device config if you need it.

    I have used this setup to separate game audio from voice audio when streaming for years.

  • You don't need Lutris, the itch.io launcher takes care of everything.

    As for DayZ, I don't want to risk playing any competitive games on Linux and getting myself a spurious VAC ban

    You only get game bans in DayZ. For what it's worth, I have been playing DayZ on Linux on and off for years and never got banned.
