    I’m out of the loop on this one? A Swedish using a Polish WM, and you call them Nazis?

    I know that the hyprland dev has strong political opinions, but I genuinely dont know what they are because I don’t care, and I use another WM. Are they really both Nazis? I dont know because I dont follow these guys. I dont want this word to be misused when actual Nazis are trying to take over the free world again


  • Mandrake was my second distro, I think, I think I had knoppix before that. Used neither for long, switched to Ubuntu in the first or second major release. I was on Ubuntu until gnome 3 was released, then I threw up a little in my mouth and dustro hopped s bit until I landed on arch, which I also had for almost 10 years,

    Now I am on NixOS,

    No I am not sadomasochistic for using arch or nixos. There are benefits and trade offs, and I would not have used them for so long if it didn’t make sense for me.

    I’m against distro shaming, and DE shaming. Everyone can like what they like for different reasons. That makes Linux better!

    BTW, fun fact, both Arch and NixOS is older than Ubuntu, just fun to think about



  • The answer is a bit complicated. Linux has a long history with HDR where you would need exact software and hardware, or else no HDR… Just know that it will get easier because the ball has already started to roll in the correct direction.

    But the shortest way I can say it now,

    If you use Valve’s game mode, (which is possible to get either using steamos, bazzite, chimera OS, nobara, or you can manually set it up. You should be able to get it to work. This should work for windows games that support HDR. AFAIK there are no Linux games yet supporting HDR. It should be possible to get videos playing with HDR also, but that would be an exercise for the reader, or wait until people make it easier.

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but I currently believe the newest version, of KDE and Gnome are now HDR ready. If I am wrong you might just need the newest beta which will become stable Q2 this year.

    Playing videos, I believe the newest version of MPV just got HDR support. With more apps incoming.

    Anything that let’s a gamepad or a remote browse your videos? AFAIK not yet, but be patient, as this is all new
