overview for Quills

I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. in c/[email protected]

Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Huh weird, i tried two distros and DE's, arcolinux hyprland and kde on endeavor and both ran significantly slower, most noticebly on games (or a game, but i think that game should work on Wayland?) But even out of videogames the sistem still didn't felt that smooth

My processor is an i5 3470, i have some difficulties knowing if it should work like this or not, cuz there's not much info bout such processor running wayland

So, i just started using I3 through Arcolinux, it's working pretty nicely all things considered but i'm having one little problem, a game i play uses keys that are very close to a keybind combination that is set here and that makes me accidentally trigger it sometimes, and i wanted to know how, if possible i can make so this keybind is disabled while I'm playing this game, searching for a solution i found this thread on reddit (yeah, lack of better places, but hey I'm asking here now so it's an opportunity to get some info on here!) That seems to be talking about pretty much what i need, buut i have no idea how to create these scripts and all that and i didn't had much success on searching on how to do this kind of thing before so... a little help please? Is there any more efficient method, or something like that?

So, i use linux with kde and was copying some gigabytes of files from a smartphone to a usb device and while doing that the system monitor kept showing that it was writing some mb/s and i got curious, is said writing happening to my ssd or is it just talking about the usb drive?

Does having swap memory damage SSDs too much, what do you think about it?

Is it possible to make audio from both channels come out of the "front left" on pulse audio? (sh.itjust.works)

I hope it's fine to ask this here, I'm using endeavor os with KDE and got some little speakers for my pc, they however only seem to play sound from the "front left" channel, is there a way to make pulse audio send all audio on it? Like, mono mode? I couldn't find anything that does that...

Edit: Found a solution! Like i said before in a comment on this post turned out i was running pipewire-pulse so i could use pipewire solutions! tried easyeffects and it perfectly fitted my needs, thanks for all the responses everyone!

Yeah, that's the question, found out bout this browser some time ago and got curious on what do people around here think about it, seems to be open sorce and firefox based so... Does it have a general good reputation among those who know it?

If I'm not mistaken the 240gb ssd + 500gb hd combination is a tiiiny little cheaper, which one y'all think is more worth it and why?

How would be the feeling of putting your hand inside a liquid that's 100% incapable of transferring heat? (sh.itjust.works)

This question studdenly appeared in my mind, A hypothetical liquid that is completely incapable of transferring (consequentially holding too, right?) Any heat in any way, how would it feel to touch it? We feel cold when heat gets out of our body and hot when it gets in right? Would it just feel perfectly neutral?
