A year ago I got laid off and it took me 6 months to find a job… and I am very skilled and have a lot of high quality experience in my field. It was brutal. As you said 4 times in those 6 months I got all the way to the last interview only to be told they went with an internal candidate.

Hard out there – fortunately I finally landed something and I am just happy to be employed in this environment

Could be that the ace id was just not a good link. This did work but I have now went with a more native linux option using an Ubuntu container (distrobox). I will probably write a guide for that soon. It is not as easy to setup but I think it is more reliable. You have to use two programs instead of one which sucks a little bit (ace engine & vlc)

Only concern I guess for me is I previously made the choice to join here because I really like the idea that the users of the instance are the main driving force in the direction and choices of the instance. Just hope that kind of ‘autonomousness’ (I prob made this word up lol) stays in tact. Maybe you can comment on that cuz I didnt see it addressed in this post

I use [Plasma Wallpapers Dynamic](https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic) . Instead though I set it up where it changes some scene every few hours to match daylight conditions, but you could accomplish exactly what you are asking – you just have to provide the actual wallpaper file for each hue and then specify what time for when you build the background

I think you can if you layer them, right? I run bazzite on one if my machines and I had to do that for something I wanted. Should keep it to a minimum but since this a key piece of your workflow it should be okay

I haven’t really had to run a VM for anything but I think Qemu is the main program used by most people for running VMs.

There is also this project I was going to experiment with but I never got around to it. Maybe you could give it a go https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps

I am staying with FF until Orion is useable on linux. They just started development

[–] rando@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Got it up and running on a Debian distrobox… now I need to figure out how to train it. Will be my first steps into this type of thing – so prob will take me a bit to figure out how it all works

They are porting to Linux was just announced not long ago... however dont know how long that will take. I am just gonna keep using FF until I can try Orion.

Acestream on Steamdeck (sh.itjust.works)

Hi guys,

I had looked everywhere to find a guide to get Acestream on the Steamdeck or even Linux and really didn't find anything good. So with the wonders of wine I have a relatively easy way to run Acestream on the Steamdeck.

  1. Download the Acestream stable Windows installer from their site.
  2. Download Lutris if you do not already have it.
  3. In lutris hit the plus sign and select 'Install a Windows game from executable' and install from the Acestream installer you downloaded.
  4. Here it will actually install acestream but once you hit finish after the installation, Lutris will just stall out. This is fine just hit 'Abort' and uncheck 'Remove game files' to keep all the files it just installed. Then hit Yes to cancel installation
  5. Now in Lutris hit the plus sign again but this time select 'Add locally installed game' and use the following settings
  6. Next will be the game options tab, you will need to find where your lutris games get installed at. From there in the acestream folder the acestream player executable is found in acestream/drive_c/users//AppData/Roaming/ACEStream/player/ace_player.exe
  7. I also set the working directory to whatever folder your lutris acestream folder is installed
  8. Last go to the 'Runner options' tab and I found System wine worked the best. GE and others seem to have audio issues.
  9. Hit save then you should be good to go to run it.

I tried to get this working in gamemode and it does not work unfortunately. I just run it in desktop mode and it works perfectly fine.

You could also pretty much do the same thing in bottles or wine if you prefer it.

Happy streaming!
