Considering that Ubuntu, Fedora and any distro with Gnome or KDE as the default DE already come with Wayland as the default, it is clear they have been testing their own shit when it comes to Wayland and then shifting to Wayland by default.
Me too!
I am guessing that is because the internal displays in laptops are connected using an embedded DisplayPort(eDP) and not HDMI
Not anything about HDMI 2.1 VRR, it probably only supports VRR via DisplayPort Adaptive Sync.
I verified from the user manual that the freesync is supported over HDMI 2.0(Its a budget 1080p monitor so no HDMI 2.1). The issue seems to be that the HDMI forum has not allowed code necessary for FreeSync HDMI in the open source drivers. Fuck proprietary solutions. I hope that DP (through usb-c or mini DP) becomes the standard even in budget laptops which currently come only with HDMI.
Well I usually look past the auto generated answer because that is not 100% accurate. Digging through many forums, I found comments like these which caused some confusion. The common thread between everybody claiming to have FreeSync is that they are running X11. I just thought since adaptive sync/freesync is a hardware feature, if(and it is a big if as I dont think VRR works for them even if it shows as enabled in the X11 configs) these people have it running on X11, maybe there is a way to get it running on Wayland.
There was this article as well which added to the confusion.
Well frankly, I dont actually care much about VRR. The post was only to gather information because I saw some conflicting info. I agree that expecting an implementation of a proprietary spec in open source is foolish and people should be willing to make some sacrifices in exchange of freedom. What I do request is that you dont be ass about it when you recommend DP.
In some ways, pushing people towards DP is good because it is a better spec than HDMI for the consumers in general and for the open source community specifically. The issue is that people are too zealous in recommending and pushing it.
In my case, I dont care much for VRR (Years of playing on crappy hardware have made me somewhat immune to tearing). I was just curious hence the post. Switching to display port is not an option since my laptop has no DisplayPort support whatsoever.
Yeah I am aware that DisplayPort has adaptive sync support but my laptop hardware limits me to HDMI. Believe me I would much rather be using DisplayPort
My laptop has no DisplayPort. Hell the monitor came with a DP cable as standard but because my Laptop has no DP port(not even through usb-c), I had to shell out for an HDMI cable
Yeah I agree that HDMI sucks but unfortunately my Laptop doesn’t have any Display Port and my USB-C port doesn’t have display port alt mode.
I have never seen Freesync over HDMI work.
Is this your experience on all OSes or on Linux only¿? AMD does mention on their website that many displays support freesync over HDMI.
Odd. Can you share which application is it that you are trying to install. Maybe it doesn’t create a desktop file hence the lack of an launcher in the app drawer¿?
Is this Pop_OS 22.04¿?
If so there is a tool called eddy pre-installed to handle .deb file installs. All you have to do is double click on the file.
She lasted slightly longer than a head of lettuce
That must be one plucky lettuce head considering that holly has been the director for nearly a year.
Gnome foundation will continue to thrive with and without her but she has made some decent contributions while she was there
The only bug I have to work out is that it doesn’t respect the gtk theme I have configured (GTK 2, 3, and 4). Otherwise, seems like a good option.
Maybe this is because loupe uses libadwaita and not standard gtk4. Libadwaita does not follow the gtk theme.
Glad I could help though
Please add the version of Firefox to the post so others can be better informed
Yeah. Makes me love jorge and team maintaining ublue even more.
Currently, gnome has moved away from eye of Gnome to Image Viewer/Loupe. The website doesn’t have the dependencies though I don’t think you should need the gnome-desktop package. Perhaps you can look into it. Just be aware that the app is pretty barebones for now.
Edit - Alternatively, you could look into gwenview which is normally shipped in kde. That will have the advantage of shipping with a lot more editing options and since it is a more mature(I think is the right word) project, I expect it to have better support for esoteric file formats.
Well fitts law doesnt mention anything about asymmetrical spacing anywhere. Infact going by fitts law, the new gnome design is great because the hitboxes are pretty large
Can you share any study for this. If this is true, it is fascinating and worth looking into in more depth
That same logic could be applied for the save and discard button. Should there be a bigger gap between them lest somebody misclick and discard things instead of saving them¿? Atleast in the case where they accidentally click cancel instead of discard, they are not losing any data.
Hell if this really about data safety, discard/don’t save should be the isolated button because it is the only destructive option
Well it was you who implied that a distro shipping the DE with wayland has to do extra testing that they don’t do. I just replied stating that distros are testing and validating for wayland to be the default.
Good. No one is stopping you from using it.
