I’m still running a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 3060ti. I can’t afford to upgrade right now, so if my PC takes a shit during tarrif hell I’m going to use my Steam Deck as my main PC until living becomes affordable again, then maybe someday a new PC will.

Oh it’s because I don’t have a proper HDMI switch, I’m using the three inputs on one monitor, so unless I switch the output manually thru the monitor, it won’t automatically switch to the console. The solution for this is to select Laptop screen under the win+p menu in KDE

Did you find any other comparable solutions out of curiosity? Annoying, but obviously not a deal breaker to make me go back to Windows!

And I used to solve this back in the day with a KDE Widget that added Display Profiles as a function and I could press a button to switch them on the fly, unfortunately it hasn’t been updated in five years and it only works on X11 and not Wayland.

The thing that’s fucking me up in the last month since I switched is the fact that when I press Windows Key + P to switch Displays to just my second monitor (when I want to use my consoles), switching it back causes KDE to count the monitors as separated for some reason. Like they are virtually spaced apart, so I’m stuck in one monitor instead of being able to use both. It also resets my second monitor to the primary one for some reason. Very strange, never an issue on Windows.

I ran my Pebble Time into the ground, so I’m hyped as fuck for this. I bought it in my early highschool years and wore it nearly daily until last year when the rumble motor finally gave out. Still wear it from time to time, but it not buzzing for notifications is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I bought a replacement and it’s so pristine I didn’t want to risk slowly damaging it at work, but now I’m charging that bitch up and running it into the ground until new Pebble comes out. Thanks for sharing OP, this news made me week!

Bonus, here’s what mine looked like as of a few years ago right when the vibration went out. You can see I slapped a skin on it to cover up the bezel scratches, but the screen still looks totally fine!

Had this phone, Google pushed an OS update that caused the bootloader to get corrupted on a factory reset. Tried to tell me I had to pay them to get the motherboard replaced even though their faulty ass update broke the phone. Three months out of warranty. Never buying a pixel again.

Rural American here. We drive 30 mins to the nearest bigish city to do all of our grocery shopping every weekend.

Just saw a post about this on TikTok and every one in the comments where cracking jokes and basically saying it was good she died. Couldn’t believe it. Whether or not you agree with how she ran YouTube, there’s no reason to be so cruel to a parent who died just after having to bury their own child. Glad Lemmy is being more thoughtful and respectful about this horrible situation.

Woah that seems really neat!! Thanks for telling me. Damn it’s moments like these I wish Lemmy had awards. So helpful. 🏅

Hey I decided to download Obsidian and give it another shot. Have you tried migrating any databases to the database plugin? How comparable is it to using them in Notion?

Thanks for letting me know, the few times I had tried Obsidian in the past I was unaware of plugins. Sounds like some of them might be adding the functionality I’m looking for! I’ll definitely check it out again soon!

I know people are going to come for me for this one, but definitely Notion. I know I don’t own my data and what not, really would love to switch to Obsidian at some point, but I have trouble with markdown and I really prefer “What you see is what you get” editors. I have Notion databases for keeping track of physical video games I own, I write all of my notes for D&D campaigns in there, I have a reminders and to-do page. It’s slow, it’s not very privacy focused, but it’s a dead simple and very feature packed tool to organize virtually anything.

Around 2017 I spent three days on and off trying to diagnose why my laptop running elementary OS had no wifi support. I reinstalled the wifi drivers and everything countless times. It worked for many days initially then just didn’t one day when I got on the laptop. Turns out I had accidentally flipped the wifi toggle switch while it was in my bag. I forgot the laptop had one. Womp womp.

This looks really fascinating. Looks like this may have some more features that I need for my Stream Deck compared to other ones for it on Linux. Might have to hope on a Live USB and check it out. Thanks for sharing!!

I did take a look at that once before and it didn’t quite have all the features that I use daily on my Stream Deck, but thanks for linking to it! Maybe I should take a look again since it’s been a year or so.

There are three things holding me back from making the switch full time, I use a stream deck from Elgato for automating a lot of tasks, I stream VR titles from Steam, and I have an Nvidia graphics card.

I feel like this group of people are the kind that would already be on Linux though. If you’re that anti Microsoft why be on any version of Windows when such a great suitable replacement that also still works on these older systems exists?

Thanks for linking! Didn’t even think!

Used to be a big Nova user, but since I found Niagra I’ve never gone back. It’s just way too clean and simple. It drastically reduces the amount of time I spend opening apps on my phone and I don’t have to think about how to do the optimal home screen layout or set up app drawer categories.
