Correct. Unfortunately, it’s something that each desktop environment or window manager has to implement themselves. But all the button is doing is moving some config files around, so you can probably do some digging to figure out what it’s copying to where.

This is the system settings application for the KDE desktop environment.

Literally yes. And you don’t even need to know the exact pixel resolution of the TV.

Edit: Here are the problems with you “Wayland isn’t good enough” people.

First, you don’t use Wayland, so you don’t even know if it’s fixed whatever weird issue you encountered with it before or if it supports a niche use case, for example.

Second, Wayland won’t get good enough for you until you start using it and reporting bugs. You think X11 was a bed of roses when it first started? Or do you think they bumped the version number 11 times for fun?

Not sure if you’re a troll, but if you’re serious, nothing I say is going to change your mind, so I won’t bother.

If you’re using Wayland, you can go to Settings -> Colors & Themes -> Login Screen (SDDM) and click “Apply Plasma Settings…”

If you’re using X11, it looks like you’ll have to resort to hacky scripts, unfortunately.

I’m curious, my playthroughs of both the original and the remake were so long ago - but does D-pad movement buy the player anything? I agree it’s rather silly that it’s not an option, but I don’t remember being hampered by the control scheme in any way.

You’re the cool aunt, for sure.

The Arch wiki has you covered.

You also don’t have to reboot when Discover says to. It’s just saying that the updates won’t take effect until you reboot. It could probably be worded better, for sure.

Look into Distrobox. It allows me to use just about any AUR package via a local Arch container on my Tumbleweed system. You can even export apps and binaries to your local path and applications so that they integrate natively with the base system. I’ve only run into a handful of packages that didn’t work correctly, but I wasn’t surprised at all - they were all pretty low level system packages.

I’ll definitely be using LocalSend for my less tech-savvy friends, but I’ve had lots of success myself with Portal. It works local or over internet, depending on if it can make a direct connection or not. Works great for quick file transfers to and from my desktop and servers.

Hard agree. The animals didn’t do anything wrong. :(

Even better than F-Droid is Obtainium. Get apps right from the repo release page, no waiting for F-Droid to recompile.

That’s actually really fucking cool.

Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn’t. I had to delete the menu background video folder because the game would crash on startup if I didn’t. It works now, though.

He said in his follow-up video that there would be no more follow-ups. So we’ll see.

You want LCS and Lemmony.

… No? I know for a fact mod actions federate to me because I can see them in the mod log and in the interface. I can see which posts and comments were removed and which users were banned.

Edit: If you’re implying there’s dissonance between me caring about mod actions federating to me, but not caring that my mod actions may or may not federate out, the difference is that I’m not hosting any communities. I have a tiny, inactive, special topic community, and support and announcement communities. If I was hosting a big, active community, obviously I would care a lot more about moderation federation.

No, you have full control over what shows up on your instance and moderation actions are federated. So actions taken by admins and mods of the original instance federate to me, meaning I really don’t have to do much work on my side. I think I’ve only had to take a few actions myself since starting my instance. I don’t know if my mod actions are federated back to the original instance, but as it’s not hosted by me, I don’t care much.

You register at the DMCA website and respond timely to DMCA requests, while doing a decent enough job moderating.

That’s literally it.
