I have been using freetube with the “local api” setting for a long time without having problems but recently I notice that some videos are not loading.

Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) by SolarPunker in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Which distro? by SolarPunker in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Arch. Bazzite/Nobara are for noobs (in a positive way, don't get me wrong). Gaming is in spot where you want stability but also a rolling release, since we have daily improvements on essential packages; as an experienced user you can use Arch for that; consider also even Valve is on it with the Steam Deck (Arch-based).

Proton is Wine with prefixes, basically, you can use it without Steam on Lutris for example (Wine-GE suggested); also, emulation for old games isn't so demanding, try different cores for RetroArch.

umu, if I'm not mistaken, should be adopted in the future by all major gaming software like Lutris

A thousand thanks! I don't know why it was on by default, I find it quite annoying.

How to add RetroArch games on Steam? (slrpnk.net)
submitted 8 months ago by SolarPunker@slrpnk.net to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

My stuff:

  • ArchLinux KDE, amdgpu, vulkan, wayland
  • RetroArch installed from official repos
  • cores installed via RetroArch utility

I'm using this command but it results in a graphical glitch when launched from steam:

retroarch -L "path/to/core" "path/to/game"

Possible causes I found:

  • the command may not work if the game is a .cue file
  • loading a game from Steam via RetroArch 64bit can be a problem(?)
  • cores installed with the utility are in ".info" and not in the ".so" extension

spoilerI haven't tried Steam Rom Manager as it doesn't solve my doubt and in any case I'm not sure it can solve the problem even if set correctly.

Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more? by SolarPunker in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Exactly what I thought; if the technology is so decentralized does it make sense to care so much about who finances the project? Like if one instance of lemmy was funded by Microsoft, we could easily use another one and block it, right?

SimpleX Chat is an instant messenger that is decentralized and doesn't depend on any unique identifiers such as phone numbers or usernames. Users of SimpleX Chat can scan a QR code or click an invite link to participate in group conversations.

It's clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

Music apps and sorting music (slrpnk.net)

It's just me or no music player can correctly sort albums by date? I do tag my music using Picard and I had luck just with VLC in that sense (which is ok but I don't love it for music) but all other apps sucks with this.

Steam Big-Picture wrong controls (Arch, KDE, Wayland, AMD) (slrpnk.net)

My setup works perfectly with my old but gold RX580, the only issue is big picture: it recognize my controllers (SteamController or 8bitDo) but the buttons don't work correctly (for example (B) doesn't back but open a menu). I've tried to reset the chord or guide layout but nothing change.
