It works, it's just flakey to get battle.net started sometimes.

Add-ons can be managed by either wowup or the curseforge client. I prefer the former since it can install from other sources too.

Weakauras can be updated with both the weakauras companion and wago companion app.

Warcraft logs and raider.io also have Linux clients that can be used.

The majority of the issues I have with WoW on Linux are because of the battle.net launcher. If they added the game to Steam, I'm sure I wouldn't have any issues.

How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Voytrekk@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

I'm a vim user and I would say it's not. It's very powerful, but only once you become familiar with the commands.

Nano is a better default for the average user because it works in a way most users would expect for a text editor to work.

Apple is still standing in the way of Epic’s app store in c/technology@lemmy.world

I don't understand how Apple is getting away with charging other app stores. At most they could charge for hosting the either app store's app on their store, but that should be it. They have no other costs that they can justify since they aren't hosting, vetting, or curating the other store.

I'm not able to help fix the issue, but I have experienced the same issue with 16:9 on my ultrawide with game scope.

Disney wants a wrongful death lawsuit thrown out because the plaintiff had Disney+ in c/news@lemmy.world

It's meant for B2B lawsuits, so they can both avoid extra litigation costs. They forced it onto consumers because they wanted to win more. They get to choose their arbitrator and avoid more public cases.

There has been some push back in recent years. This article by Consumer Reports shows some ways as to how people have been fighting back.

Have they fixed the performance issues with the game? I can't imagine this game could run well on the previous consoles without them.

A guide for Discord screen sharing on wayland (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1557630

Note: This was originally posted on Reddit. However, I have now decided to move the guide to lemmy and I will most likely delete the one on Reddit soon.

There are multiple options to achieve Wayland screen sharing with discord. I will cover two here.

OPTION 1 (Recommended):

There is a web-based discord client for Linux called "Webcord" that supports Wayland screen sharing. You just have to install it, open it, sign in, and you're done.

You can install it by downloading your preferred package from here or by using the flatpak version avaliable on flathub.

If you dont have flatpak set up - here is another quick guide.

That's it! You can now start screen sharing on Wayland!

In case you are interested in streaming your desktop audio as well, there is another Discord client called discord-screenaudio to do just that.

OPTION 2:

What you'll need:

Step1:

Open WebApps and click on the little + icon in the bottom. Fill in the name (Discord) and the web Address (discord.com/app). The icon should apply automatically. As a browser, choose your Chromium-based browser. Then activate the switch "Isolated Profile" and click Ok.

Step2:

You now should be able to find Discord in your application-launcher of your choice. If you see discord twice, that means that you have now both the "real" Discord app and the new WebApp. Then try to launch the WebApp Discord. You now can sign in and use discord just as normal. However, there is still no Wayland support. We will activate it in step 3.

Step3: (unnecessary if you use Firefox)

While in the WebApp Discord, press Ctrl+T. A new window should appear. Then type chrome://flags in the address bar and press enter. Now search for "WebRTC PipeWire support" and change it from default to true. Now click "Relaunch" in the bottom of the window. If you have done everything right, you should now have Wayland support :)

I hope I could help you in some form, and have a nice day!

​

Optional: (And for more advanced users) Running the Discord WebApp without the use of Xwayland

Since Chrome version 97:

While in the Discord WebApp, press Ctrl+T. Type chrome://flags in the address bar and hit enter. Search for "Preferred Ozone platform". Change it from "Default" to "Auto". Then relaunch Discord. That's it.

Chrome Versions below 97:

Note: This is ONLY tested with arch/Manjaro and Brave. It could work on other systems and browsers too, but this is not guaranteed. So you basically just have to enable chromium Wayland flag. You can do this by creating a config file at $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf. Do that by running nano $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf (If you are running another browser than Brave, I guess you could replace brave with the name of the other browser, but I didn't test this). Now insert the flag --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland save it by pressing Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X. Now launch Discord again and see if it runs natively on Wayland. You can do this by installing and running xeyes (when installed, simply run xeyes in your terminal). When you move the mouse over a window and the eyes are moving, it uses Xwayland or X11. If not, you successfully activated Wayland.

Gaming Experience on Immutable Distros (lemmy.world)
 

Does anyone here have experience with gaming on immutable distros like Fedora Silverblue, Fedora Kinote, OpenSUSE MicroOS or any other general desktop variants? I know SteamOS 3 and ChimeraOS are both immutable, but they come with all kernel mods and libraries baked in.

Are there any issues with drivers or performance that otherwise do not happen on a more mainline distribution?

Do you have to deal with getting Nvidia drivers installed or is that handled by the system?

I'm asking because I'm considering making the jump to either Silverblue or Kinote, but I am curious to hear your thoughts.
