I'm referring to the issue outlined here. Thanks for the link to that problem, I haven't encountered it yet but I haven't played with Wayland/KDE6 all too much yet
Changing the scaling either zooms my higher resolution display in too much or zooms the lower resolution display out too much. Maybe the scaling is the only solution though
I can change the scaling of the smaller display to fix it but then everything is too small. I'm not familiar with any other way to fix it. I've browsed online to no avail as well
Yeah, X does it too but I have a solution with cursr. That app unfortunately hasn't been ported to Wayland which is why I'm looking for alternative solutions.
Thank you for that insight. I didn't end up using this but as you said, this is very powerful and I'm glad I know it exists!
Thanks both for the information and the confidence. I went ahead and deleted the gnome packages and nothing seems broken so far. The dnf remove @gnome-destop didn't work, but dnf remove gnome-* worked. I made sure all the packages being removed were ones I no longer wanted and all looks well!
I have 2 different resolution monitors (2560x1440 and 1920x1080) and I dislike that my mouse gets stuck at the transition where the smaller display is not aligned with the bigger one. I use cursr to fix that but I can't find an alternative that works on wayland and that's pretty well the only thing stopping me from making the full transition.
Thanks in advance to any recommendations!
Edit: this reddit post outlines my exact problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/1bcnj6l/mouse_trapped_dual_monitor_with_different/
I have windows and linux on different drives and windows killed my bootloader this week anyway lol
Thank you for keeping these up. I enjoy seeing these threads a lot.
As to stardew, I've only played a little bit, never past the first season pretty much. I'm not one to play it solo and group session always die very quickly. When most of my friends are unemployed or don't work full 9-5, it's hard to coordinate with them.
That all said, I love this game and it does so much right and Dev is awesome. This game feels to me like a lot of what game companies should strive to be.
I think this is an issue in using the updated version with the graphics overhaul. You can change that in the launcher. But if you found Something that works then you rock it.
Perhaps other people have said it but this is the quote I'm familiar with:
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

This is an awesome post. Thank you for sharing it. I really appreciated reading your comments, and I hope you're doing well
Thanks so much for the information! I really appreciate it. I'll see about doing that when I get home tonight
I want everything GNOME gone. Decided KDE was more my style
This makes sense. Will this nuke any config files I have set up already?
Thanks for the suggestions!
I just installed 6 months ago and I don't feel any need or desire to do a full reinstall if I can avoid it
I installed GNOME on my KDE fedora install some time ago not realizing it would litter my install with gnome apps. Wondering if there's a safe and easy way to remove them. Everyone online seems to say that removing a DE risks uninstalling a lot of stuff and thought I should ask here to be sure.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Nice touch adding people's comments in the original post. Doing gods work here
The one game I will never stop gushing praise for is crosscode. Not a short game by any means but it's taken my number 1 spot handedly.
As an aside, pseudoregalia is an excellent game and I'm glad it made it onto this list or yours.
It's on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I'm done with animal well!
Quick tip to add to all the other advice: if Linux give you a warning, please read it carefully. Its not windows where you can safely blow through warnings. Otherwise, use it and enjoy!
Lately, when booting up my linux machine (Fedora 39 KDE), everything looks good until about 30s after I log in. Then both screens go black with no output, and shortly after that they light up as if there is a signal but I don't seen anything.
I've tried accessing a TTY but nothing changes on the displays. The only solution I can find is pressing the reset button on the PC, and then I have no problem on the following boot. I'm not really too sure where to start looking regarding solutions. Would really appreciate any input you guys have to solving this problem.
I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it's been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol. Fortunately I kept my /home on its own partition, so this shouldn't be too bad to get back up and running as desired.
So I've been wanting to try to move to linux for the past few months but have been waiting to be done school, so I could the MS office suite behind me. I'm mostly writing this to share my experience for people who are considering switching.
I finally wiped my laptop to use as a test environment and installing and using it went really well so I went straight to dual booting my main PC with windows (some games I play need to be on windows for now). I started with trying opensuse tumbleweed because I wanted to try to KDE since gnome didnt vibe as well with me in my experience with Ubuntu VMs. It worked great on my laptop but the experience felt quite laggy on my desktop (if anyone has any ideas as to why, I would love to hear them). After fiddling around with installing codecs for a few hours I decided to try out KDE fedora.
This has been working super duper well so far out of the box. No sluggishness, everything's been easy to install and whenever I need to change any settings a quick search gets me what I need. The main thing I have left to figure out is gaming performance. I've launched 1-2 games without too much difficulty but it does seem there maybe be a performance hit. Gotta test more before coming to any conclusions there. Hoping all the games work well so I can decidedly move to Linux without leaving too many games behind.
I've managed to set up a baikal server to sync my calendars and tasks instead of using a free cloud service provided by nextcloud. I'm able to reach it from beyond my local network, but this is all very new to me and I'm a little worried about what permanently leaving a port open for this.
I'm hoping to find some resources for securing this, before leaving it up all the time. I suppose as an alternative I can always only run it at home and only sync when I'm home but this seems less ideal.
Thanks a bunch for the help in advance. I really appreciate it.
There was a post on lemmy a couple of weeks ago about an old, hard, I think text based game. I wanted to look it up but forgot the name and I can't seem to find it anymore. Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Edit: I don't think it's on the list of text based games on Wikipedia. I've added a comment with some meagre details I can remember
The post referred to it being something they always went back to and it being a lightweight game (maybe from the 90s)
I found it!!! Nethack is what I was looking for. Not text based but ascii. Sorry for the super vague question. It was mentioned in passing on some forum talking about ascii/text-based games.
The post I was referring to: https://lemmy.world/post/1570921
God bless whoever made this community. I love this game so much and am very happy to see it here on lemmy :)
I was using some laptop stands/risers to test out whether I was interested in tenting my board or not and really really liked it so I went ahead with the magfrotto approach. I replaced the manfrotto tripods with these z-stands for the more possible angles and also because they're wayyy cheaper (20$ a piece).
Thanks to the person who came up with this idea. It's super solid, the keyboard doesn't move at all with the magsafe stickers. Highly recommended.
E: after many attempts I have successfully embedded image in post lol
I've decided to jump back into learning a new layout, specifically semimak JQ, from Dvorak. I've heard that as long as I practice both I should be able to maintain Dvorak while I learn semimak.
I was wondering if people here had any experience learning new layouts could share some insight for that?
Any other tips would be very appreciated. I'm sitting at somewhere around 26wpm on semimak atm, and 130-140 on Dvorak
The jerboa app does this, and it helps when searching for a community to see how many people use it, especially when there are multiple across different instances.
That said, I don't really know how accurate their number is so maybe it's not super viable
Specifically, I would like to move lemmy.world lower down the list as it's not my main instance. Not sure if this is something that can be done at present or not?
Basically just just the title. I thought I read somewhere I can do that, but I don't see the option to when I find the account in trying to follow. Thanks in advance for any answers
