  • I’m always confused by people saying that Vortex doesn’t work on Linux, when I’ve used it for years now on both my Fedora desktop and my Steam Deck. I didn’t even have to do anything outrageous to get it working. Install with Lutris like anything else made for Windows, press play, it works great.

    Edit: Realized this sounded maybe judgmental, when I didn’t mean it to. Not trying to make anyone feel bad in any way. More like encouragement, because once you get over the hump of figuring out how to use tools like Lutris to run games, running Vortex is the same process.





  • I somehow keep running across videos that won’t load in Clapper, Showtime, mpv, VLC, or Handbrake, and Nautilus won’t show thumbnails for them. It’s very frustrating. Supposedly I’ve already installed all the available codecs from RPMFusion, but still get the “codec missing” error on a bunch of videos.

    Jellyfin on the other hand, it plays everything I’ve ever thrown at it. I don’t know what the hell it’s doing differently from the other video players on my system, but it works great.

    Incompatible with every website in which browser? It works for years in both Chrome and Firefox. Is this a meme for Safari users only?

    The fact that Google invented this format is the most annoying thing about webp, but the complaints in this image haven’t been an issue for a very long time in my experience.

    What does “ssd” mean in this context? I’m guessing it’s not solid state drive since that doesn’t make any sense in these sentences, but searching that acronym isn’t very helpful.

    Edit: I guess it means “server side decorations”. I see that OP did use the full phrase once, but it didn’t click with me initially. Wikipedia says that means the window manager draws titlebar buttons, as opposed to client side decorations which enables the app developer to control the titlebar of their app.

    GNOME does this by default, so if it’s not working for your SO, they probably have installed some extension that modifies that behavior. I’ve never used Mint, but I think it’s pretty heavily modified from base GNOME, so maybe it has that feature disabled with whatever their suite of modifications does. I’d poke around in the panel settings if those are exposed to you in Mint.

    Also, Plex email blasted a few weeks ago about how nobody can share their libraries anymore without paying for a subscription. That was the push I needed to check out Jellyfin again, and the experience ranges from “good enough” to “that’s better than Plex” for me and my buddies.





  • Dunno if it would meet your needs, but I’ve been using Input Remapper for binding macros to various key presses and mouse buttons under Wayland. It does prompt for root access, but it’s a GUI. It supports any input method, as far as I can tell. It even supports my tablet.

    I use it to bind stuff like hold(key(BTN_LEFT).wait(100)) to some button to repeatedly left click while I’m holding that button down.
