20·6 days agoIf your device supports it, you might want to encode to Opus instead. Opus produces much higher quality files at much smaller file sizes than MP3.
For example, Opus at 128kbps is considered transparent when compared to the source file. You can probably go down to 64-96kbps when its just for playback in your car.

As for transcoding them, you might want to check out ffmpegfs: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs
It can create a “virtual” drive based on your source files and automatically transcodes them when you drag & drop files from there onto your device.
5·7 days agoThat’s fine by me. If they open Pandora’s box a little bit somebody will pry it open the rest of the way.
It would be a real shame if someone were to organize a group of Linux players for the launch, to leave negative reviews about how they can’t play the game on their Steam Deck…
So, does it still run?
7·11 days agoI would prefer if the EU/Swiss backed project based on GNU Taler makes it instead: https://www.taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html
Fedora Kinoite, because it fits my workflow the best and has a nice mixture of stable and leading edge.
Everything I run was containerized either way (Flatpak, Docker or Podman) long before I switched to an immutable distro.
I have lots of different development environments for various versions of different programming languages that are incredibly easy to setup, throw away and recreate with toolbox without having to dive into the language specific tools for creating virtual environments (venv, conda, …). On regular Linux/Windows systems I end up at a point after a few years where there is junk laying around everywhere from 6 different PHP versions, 7 gcc variants and 8 .NET versions.
I was on Fedora KDE before that and the main reason for choosing it was that Ubuntu/Debian/Mint were too old to include firmware for my GPU. Arch and derivatives are on the opposite side of the spectrum and are too new for my taste, I’m fine with waiting a few weeks for .1 versions to release with bugfixes.
As for why not Bazzite or Aurora: Because I wanted to be as close to the original (Fedora & KDE) as possible. The modifications those distros make (and I need), I can do myself in a few minutes.
I do recommend Bazzite or Aurora for less experienced people though, they have a lot of tweaks that Kinoite is really lacking. Kinoite, just like the Fedora KDE variant has a lot of polishing issues that quickly become gigantic obstacles for beginners (Nvidia drivers, Flathub repository, H264/H265 codecs, missing udev rules, …)
If it’s for C#, I’m doing pretty well with VSCode/VSCodium on Linux.
WPF and Forms does not work but I also have a Rider license from work which I use occasionally to maintain one of our old WPF applications, which we converted to Avalonia XPF. It works great and we now also have a Mac and Linux version.
I loved my Lumia 1520, but it just doesn’t hold a candle to a modern Android phone with LineageOS installed. Both in functionality and in privacy.
They have a guide for how to set things up in a Proxmox LXC: https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/user/quickstart.html
19·1 month agowhat’s to stop me from just selecting Finland and entering bogus info?
The petition needs to be signed with the eID of a EU country, a EU passport or a EU identification card in most countries.
Unless you have one of those, you can’t sign the petition with bogus info.
Not sure how countries that don’t have those handle it.
Another cool option is Games on Whales: https://games-on-whales.github.io/
Altough you probably have to run it in a privileged LXC.
Proton-GE is available as Flatpak directly: https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam.CompatibilityTool.Proton-GE
After installation it will be picked up by the flatpak version of Steam automatically.

If you use Steam in a flatpak, you can download the Proton-GE flatpak, which updates automatically.
Steam automatically uses the native version if one is available, unless you override the compatibility tool to be Proton instead of the Linux runtime on a per-game basis. Nothing changed in that regard.
I don’t have a Behringer UV1 but I do have an UMC404HD and an UMC202HD. Both work flawlessly on Linux out of the box.
Doesn’t work for me unfortunately, always falls back to CPU ever since the packages were split up.
Looks like you’re right.
I switched to it when Alpaca stopped working on AMD GPUs and was under the impression it is open source.
But more users need Linux.
