Since some time, I'm play Satisfactory on Linux. Performance is fine so far. But if I look on the moving conveyer belts with objects like iron ore or other things, this moving parts produce smudged artifacts on the screen. I don't know what this is called and what I can do against that. I have played the same game on the same laptop on Windows with exactly the same in-game settings. There are no such artifacts.

Is there anything I can do against that? Graphics card is a Nvidia 1050 with proprietary driver. I'm on Arch Linux. Proton is 8.25 GE. I have tested several Proton variant without any difference.

I try to create a timer unit for weekly and daily backups. For example with the weekly unit, it should be executed once in a week, some minutes after login. If the unit was successful, it should shutdown and not start again until the next week. If a start of this unit was missing, it should be start again some minutes after the next login.

But for some unknown reason, the current unit starts after every login when I reboot the laptop. I am relatively sure that this timer unit is set up wrong, but unfortunately I don't know how I can implement such a unit better with the functions mentioned above.

[Unit]
Description=Run backup weekly
Requires=backup.service

[Timer]
Unit=backup.service
OnCalendar=weekly
RandomizedDelaySec=120
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

I want to have only the FPS and the time to be displayed. On my screenshot you can see a setting with 16.7ms. I have no idea what this is, How can i remove this and keep only the FPS and the time?

I try to play "Empyrion" on Linux via Steam. I have tried other games like "Satisfactory" without any issues and with a better performance as on Windows. But with Empyrion i get a max of 10 - 13 fps, where i have ~60fps on Windows on the same laptop. Graphic adapter is a nVidia 1050 GTX and OS is Arch Linux. If i remember correctly, Empyrion is a Unity game.

I have installed Davx5 from F-Droid, from IzzyOnDroid Repo. Today I have checked for updates with the Google playstore and the App was updated to the playstore variant. I thought this isn't possible? What's going on here?

I would like to install Ungoogled Chromium, but I can only find ungoogled Chromium as an older version on Arch AUR and a "Ungoogled Chromium XDG" as a newer build. Can someone please explain me what's the difference between Ungoogled Chromium and Ungoogled Chromium XDG?

Is there some way to set the keyboard layout on GFN in the browser, or at least use the system keyboard layout from Gnome?

According to the Arch Wiki, i should start Chromium with --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint` and spoof the UserAgent to Windows, but this doesn't work anymore. There are no Keyboard area in the settings.

If I use GFN on Windows, the area for keyboard layout is working.

Or is there some way to copy the settings from windows via Cookies or any other storage method?

A similar question was raised some day's ago from a other person, but with different background. In this case, I would like to buy a nice gaming laptop. Of course I would use it for office and coding to, but primary I'm searching recommendations for gaming. I would like to play Wine/Proton game's and also native Linux games. As OS, I like to use Manjaro Gnome.

Should I better buy all of AMD (if yes, which CPI, GPU) or Intel/Nvidia? Or Intel CPU and AMD GPU? Which combination is the right one with best performance for a casual gamer? I prefer FPS games, if that's important...

I'm on Manjaro Linux with Gnome. When I attach a USB HDD to my laptop, it mounts as /run/media/username/uuid. But for some reason, it is mounted as root and not with the owner set to the currently logged in user. For that reason, I can't create new directory's on this HDD, after I attached this to the laptop.

I can only switch to root, create the folder and change ownership of this new folder to the currently logged in user.

Is there any way to automount the USB hdd/stick with ownership of the currently logged in user?

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don't know how to do that. Any ideas?

Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?

I have played that game a lot in my old days on Windows, but under Linux I have a lot of crashes. I have installed the game via Steam and it starts in to mainmenu. But mostly when I try to start a game, it crashes. After reading some tips, I have changed proton to GE-Proton 8.3. with that crashes occur a little bit rarer, but to often. I have also tried GE-Proton 8.4 or Proton Experimental, but without luck.

Is someone here with some tips?

BTW: im on Manjaro

It seems there are 2 official F-Droid clients available. org.fdroid.fdroid and org.fdroid.basic. Can someone please tell me what's the difference?
