  • VR on linux actually works just fine from my experience. I’ve never had a game not work. The big issue is just headset support. The HTC Vive and Valve Index are the only headsets with official drivers, since they were made by Valve. Standalone headsets, like the Quest for example, also work using ALVR. Anything else doesn’t really work. There are open source drivers but they’re not complete enough to be useable unless something majorly changed there since I last checked.



  • Thank you for telling me about Podlet. I’ve been using podman-compose for all my containers but I’ve thought about converting them to systemd units. The only thing I’m unsure about is whether it’ll still be easy to access the container files. Currently I have a containers folder with a folder for each service inside it. Inside that, there’s the compose.yml and the folders with the container data. I map all container folders, with data that needs to be kept, to a folder that sits right next to the compose file. If it’s just temporary data (like caches), I oftentimes map it to a volume because it doesn’t matter if I lose it. Do you know if I can still do it like this (or in a similar way) if I use systemd units?


  • I don’t really know what you mean by checking. I’m pretty sure you can import from there but I haven’t used that yet anyway because not a single food I’ve looked up there has had enough data for it to be usable for me and a lot haven’t been added at all. Might be because I’m in Germany tho.

    Edit: I’ve actually imported a product that did have all the information and it worked perfectly fine. You just share the link from OpenFoodFacts to Food You. Only monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats didn’t import but I’ve already opened and issue for that and it’ll be fixed in version 3.



  • I use podman too and I set up hardware acceleration for Jellyfin. I’ll update this with how I did it once I’m home.

    Edit: Here’s my compose.yml (I use podman-compose):

    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        dns:
          - 9.9.9.9
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Europe/Berlin
        volumes:
          - ./config:/config:Z
          - ~/drive/media:/media:z
        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 7359:7359/udp
          - 1900:1900/udp
        restart: unless-stopped
    


  • Fascists are rising up all over the world, it’s the same here. The fascists have already taken power in the US and it looks like they’ll do the same here in Germany too if nothing majorly changes. As soon as our economic system encounters a really bad recession, people notice that something’s going wrong and needs to change. Fascists take that opportunity to give people easy enemies to blame, saying that the “others” (nowadays that’s mostly muslims, immigrants and trans people) just need to be removed from society and everything will be fine again. They find explanations for why that’s the case and justify it by saying that they just want to “remigrate” them and also only the bad ones that don’t work and stuff like that. What they want to do and how they want to do it never changes tho, they’re still fascists no matter how many justifications and euphemisms they find for the cruel things they want to do. Unfortunately, their strategy still works perfectly, partly because they’re being supported by the rich. The rich know that the change people want will either result in fascists taking power, in which case they’d still be able to make loads of money, or leftists taking power, in which case their wealth would be taken away and given back to society. And just like with the companies they own, profit is always more important than human lifes. The fascists have convinced large parts of the population, the nationalised media (that was established after WW2 as a neutral source of information, so fascists can’t spread their propaganda, didn’t work out that well) and neoliberal politicians (so everyone who’s not in Die Linke or the AFD).



  • I know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It’s normal that some extenions don’t support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn’t support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn’t make sense that all the extensions wouldn’t work anymore.

    As a tip, you can install “Extension Manager” instead of the default “Extenions” app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an “Upgrade Assistant” function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.
