I’m 99% sure the word sounds like the word where you’re removing woods

WereCat ,

FYI, just because you use capslock it does not mean that I can increase the volume of my inner voice when reading that

WereCat ,

This one will be designed to work during earthquake. Meaning that it won’t work without earthquakes

WereCat ,

I think he meant that the Apple tax is higher for the HW if it had higher refresh rate

WereCat ,

even teacher thinks it’s an alpha move

WereCat OP ,

I will give it a try tomorrow.

WereCat OP ,

I do via USB. I tend to switch between speakers and headphones. But other audio outputs work via the audio settings when I select them

WereCat OP ,

Live USB - works fine

Fresh install - works fine

Update system after fresh install - breaks again

WereCat OP , (edited )

pavucontrol works but it’s annoying to use, I just want to be able to quickly select between audio outputs in the GNOME menu as always.

alsamixer does not even see any analog output and

cat /proc/asound/devices

cat /proc/asound/cards

cant see any analog output either.

I can force it with wireplumber when manually selecting correct sink which in system settings defaults to HDMI but audio goes trough my speakers until I need to change output and want to change back. If I manually select HDMI it just goes into my monitor speakers as it should

I’ve just installed CachyOS GNOME and the same issue occurs like on Fedora. Seems like this is either GNOME issue or something with the more recent update…. I’m gonna try OMARCHY

edit2

works in Omarchy, I’m gonna try Fedora KDE now

edit3

KDE works but I can’t stand it

edit4

I think I figured it out… is this a bug then?

WereCat OP ,

Seems like it’s GNOME issue or something driver issue with more recent update. Fresh install works again until I do a system update then it breaks again. I’ve tried CachyOS GNOME and the same issue again

WereCat OP ,

My headphones go trough USB external DAC/AMP so there is no other analog device visible

WereCat OP ,

Check my other reply in this post, I've figured it out

sudo dnf downgrade gnome-control-center

WereCat OP ,

already solved, reply in the comments… alsamixer did not work

WereCat OP ,

yep, seems like that is the case

WereCat OP ,

Yes, right now it’s just a temporary workaround but it seems it’s being worked on.

WereCat OP ,

I had the same experience. Switching virtual desktops is what I do constantly and KDE just behaved weirdly all the time

WereCat OP ,

I only use one extention “Dash to Dock” and I had no issue of it breaking from Fedora 38 to now Fedora 43.

On the contrary, I had to use so many widgets and addons on KDE to get a somewhat passable experience that it took me over 5h of customising and still felt not enough… also no “Latte Dock” on KDE 6 :(

WereCat OP ,

I’ve actualy went from 3 monitors to a single monitor with ton of virtual desktops. On KDE I felt very limited with just 1 screen though.

I treat virtual desktop as a “WM” basically … one or two windows per desktop and I switch between them rapidly either with key shortcut, mouse wheel in top left corner or combined depending on what I’m doing. And when I say rapidly I mean usually multiple times per minute… it’s just so seamless.

This does not work on KDE, it’s too slow and buggy for this workflow.

WereCat OP ,

I haven’t seen this one yet, looks definitely nicer than what you can do with the dock by default

WereCat OP ,

I feel the same way with KDE as you do with GNOME which is interesting to me because one would think that when I'm used to Windows UI the KDE would just click with me but it's actually annoying as hell to use to me.

Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) ( www.tomshardware.com )

Yesterday, Google announced Project Genie, a new generative AI tool that can apparently create entire games from just prompts. It leverages the Genie 3 and Gemini models to generate a 60-second interactive world rather than a fully playable one. Despite this, many investors were scared out of their wits, imagining this as the ...

So… it’s as good as Starfield then but without load screens?

WereCat ,

This is what’s expected on the resume then the actual job requires the exact opposite when writing reports

WereCat ,

Can I? Yes. Will I? No.

Some things are just faster to do via terminal so I learned to use it over GUI for some scenarios.

WereCat ,

If there were 3 then there would be only 2 which would make it 1

WereCat ,

Just because you’re right it doesn’t mean I like it! /jk

WereCat ,

It’s a cascade effect. Memory pricing went up -> Increased price of SSD with DRAM cache -> Increased pricing of DRAM-less SSDs after demand shifted -> HDDs became significantly more cost effective again as a storage device but now the demand for them increased so price went up for them as well.

2 months ago I’ve got Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB for 235€ now that’s the price of 2TB and the 4TB is almost 400€.

I’ve got 8TB Seagate Exos 7E10 8TB for 182€ in May now it’s almost 260€.

We’re fucked…

WereCat ,

US prices are just EU prices + sales tax now

WereCat ,

They duck hop (crouch jump) obviously…

WereCat ,

If Chinese did this it would be US the malware originates from

WereCat OP ,

i’ve got my 4x16GB DDR4 during another RAM crisis in 2019 for just 360€ which was a great deal during that time… normally I would pay well over 400€

WereCat OP ,

Sorry but you made me with such question… :)

WereCat OP ,

I mean… there are people who finished Dark Souls with a steering wheel. Anything is possible if you’re crazy enough

WereCat OP ,

That test is a little bit better than worthless

WereCat ,

OFC you can… I can run the 70B DeepSeek on my 16GB RX 6800 XT with 64GB RAM already…

WereCat ,

More like: “Get the hell out of my house after those 2 unskippable asswhoopings!”

WereCat ,

You’re no true audiophile until you have audio graded solid state drive in your PC!

WereCat ,

I don’t want any of those games but you’re cool and I wish you a Merry Christmas!

WereCat ,

amazing, I approve of this. People should get locked out of playing if they have old systems that no longer receive BIOS updates. And also if they don’t even know what BIOS is. Once this kind of inconvenience gets more broad and companies will start losing players then maybe this BS with intrusive anti-cheats will stop… I hope

WereCat ,

sorry, i’ll use italic next time

Fedora Games Lab Looks To Be Revitalized As Modern Linux Gaming Showcase ( www.phoronix.com )

One of the lesser known Fedora spins under the "Fedora Labs" initiative is the Fedora Games Lab that showcases some open-source games and can serve as an easy demonstrator for Linux gaming. Looking forward to 2026 with Fedora 44, there is a proposal to revitalize Fedora Games Lab to become a better showcase for the modern ...

WereCat ,

I’m trying to say… why should they bother to offer what other distributions already offer?

WereCat ,

So they should do just another distro for the sake of making another distro instead of focusing on something that will put them above rest for gaming?

The way they do things now benefit all of Linux. The optimisations they do now are focused on very specific HW and with the amount of employees they have now I doubt they can focus on broad support while providing these kinds of specific optimisations. There is basically no need to install Steam OS on your machine… just get Bazzite.

Also what brand recognition? If you game on PC, you install Steam anyways.

WereCat ,

are you a bot?

WereCat ,

Yes. Everything you quoted was taken out of context

WereCat ,

mutual, I’ve already explained my point of view
