Totally not a Phantom Thief of Hearts

No one is supposed to do anything.

Were hurling through space on the crust of a molten core rock, orbiting an angry fusion reactor.

Do whatever, star stuff

Opposite here. Used to never shave. Shaved and the smoothness is intoxicating. It’s a pain to do tho.

Why can’t I inline two tab bars? I want a center island with a task manager and an island on the right with a system tray.

Otherwise it’s peachy.

An ice cream cone? To comedically place it between your privates and the camera?

Raytracing performance. Though once I get my fill of cyberpunk that will fade.

The ease of being able to bork stuff when installing packages. I’ve borked my ability to run games through proton in some way. Between installing native and runtime Steam, and installing Waydroid and its kernel extensions I’ve made games not work where they are just fine on my Steam Deck. Now I gotta reinstall which kind of sucks and I don’t have time for it.

Another tip off. During large downloads nothing else except the process doing the downloading works. I don’t get it. Technically the network works but only for that one app. It’s like something locks for some reason?

Yeah, there is a good chunk to make it feel about the same

Looks promising, I’ll check it out!

So I pretty much can narrow it down to Steam. If I download stuff and let it go zoom with uncapped rate, it crashes. I pause the download for a bit and it eventually recovers. Wild.

Yep, got into wayland and there it was! Thanks bunches.

The sentiment here seems to be to let Manjaro be and distro hop. I don’t have any distro preference outside of a rolling release and a good out of box experience. My understanding is that with a rolling release, I get the most up-to-date I can be without fuffing about with kernel updates manually.

Ty for the tips! Makes sense that a lot of those Radeon settings are default. I did mainly have a slight underclock on the GPU and a minor auto bump on the CPU after tweaking the curve optimizer to -15.

I’ll do more digging with the network thing when I’m at my PC and update as I go.

How do I set display scaling below 100%? That was the instinct but there is only a slider and it doesn’t go below 100%, some googling got me some xrand commands for making a 1440p profile but that ends up with an out-of-range message on the monitor.

With the gamescope util, the %command% would be the path to the game exe/bin that’s usually there?

I did end up finding things like snapping from Powertoys which was my biggest thing now looking for shortcuts for them. Think the other is finding a run menu, I’ve heard there are some just need to find one.

For Wayland vs X, I’m not sure what this version is running but I’m hoping I don’t have to think about that much. The main usage is just games which I got working in an hour tinkering and occasional vscode/ium and Arduino IDE. Still need to tinker with making xprog work or finding an alternative that works with that USB programmer.

Speaking of games, is it possible for Steam to consolidate its sandboxes? I imagine having so many redundant copies of mfc140 and other DLLs would be eating at the space? There also seem to be some effects missing, namely, Bloom. It seems to have issues rendering in comparison to Windows, is this a case of missing DLLs or just the proton layer not translating them yet?

Thank you so much for your time and info, I’m quite excited about making this all work!

I’ve had a good experience with it the couple of times I used it in the past. I tried Rhino before eventually settling on manjaro as I quite like rolling updates, makes it simple for my monkey brain.
