+1 for Proton 10 fixing the Battle.net agent issue. Was only playing Starcraft, and didn’t look at the fps so no idea if there was any difference.

Talos… are you running kubernetes for your laptop you mad lad? Also, not aware that the coreboot is ready yet for any of the non-chromebook machines. (Edit: meant coreboot for Framework laptops)

Is that method different from using the hot keys to swap layouts?

Depends on your desktop environment and if you are using Wayland. If you use the hot keys, probably try those first since using the terminal can mess those up. It’s a bit of a hammer, but I typically manage keyboard layouts only using the terminal.

Like can I tell it to always use that mapping for that game or do I need to remember to run it each time I play the game and then set it back after I’m done (or automate that)?

Hmm, I’ve never had the need, but I would start by changing the game command in your launcher (Steam, Lutis, etc.)

I use gamemode to automate things like changing my RGB light patterns when running a game, maybe there is a per-game thing you could do…

Correct, you will need to pair as a Switch controller (or usb dongle) for the Steam Deck to be able to see the gyro . I find I use the gyro less since it doesn’t have the capacitive thumpsticks for triggering gyro input.

Hey, long-time Dvorak user here, almost as long as a Linux user.

When I start playing a new game, I usally just go with defaults. Some games (like all Valve games) do a good job of using keyscan codes for bindings and mapping them to the layout. If that’s not the case the game is likely to be incorretly using the keyscan codes, or just using the OS’s key events. If that’s the case, I will just force qwerty with setxkbmap us and restart the game. After a few hours, I try to rebind keys for dvorak. Persoally, I like to change keyboardings to use Tribe’s ESDF layout instead of WASD anyway.

If you are using wayland for your display, setxkbmap is great since most games run in Xwayland mode, so native apps will still be in Dvorak.

I don’t really need to type much in games anyway now, so I don’t mind keeping with qwerty bindings. I play Starcraft 2 this way.

The worst experience I can recall is Natural Selection 2, which its game engine refused to bind non-alphanumeric keys like ‘,’ 😵‍💫… But that was playing with Windows, would probably work with Linux if the game was still alive.

Hope you don’t write go :D

Oh, I haven’t seen these threads in a whi

There won’t be a big WAN Show segment about this or anything

The starting line really puts me off. I don’t really care much about the tech content but find their videos entertaining.

I have un-subscribed from all their channels and will see how much this video is addressed in the next WAN before I decide if to continue to watch their content at all going forward.

Well put. I think there was permanent damage done to user’s trust, but don’t see many of the smaller subreddit communities migrating away yet.

I worry that Lemmy is even more an echo chamber with a handful of default communities, I hope it grows to the point where I don’t feel obligated to join the popular communities so there is actual content to scroll through.

NGL, the text order is backwards and it’s kinda bothering me.
