Congrats! I have a Galago Pro and a Gazelle that I purchased several years ago. They both work great and I am very happy with them. Love how open s76 is with all the documentation and software support. Have been considering ordering a desktop from them with an AMD GPU as a gaming machine. Enjoy the laptop!

These just go out with the other recycling, right? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Only problem I have had with LED lights is they stop working after maybe 6 months whereas the CF bulbs would go for years. I have CF bulbs in fixtures that have been working since before I got my first LED installed. What has your experience been? What brand of bulb are you using? I am willing to pay more for a bulb that will last.

I adore XFCE, simple, functional, lightweight. What more do you need? I am currently running pop_os which defaults to Gnome and by comparison it just feels heavy and clunky. The other DE I had love for was enlightenment years ago. A purely keyboard driven DE. It was glorious.

I have an LG that is a couple years old. Never connected it to the Internet and don’t intend to but have wondered about firmware updates for it. I am afraid of an update adding ads or something else I don’t want. What is your experience? Or is there a resource that details everything (and I mean everything) that the updates change?

Keyboard input sticky in some games (kbin.social)
 

Hello all! wondering if anyone has any ideas on an issue I have run into with some games.

Trying to play Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, playing the GOG version using Lutris. The runner I am using is GE-proton 8-10 although I also tried the lutris-7.2-2 runner and get the same behavior. The game seems to run OK but keyboard input seems like it "sticks" for lack of a better term. If I press left to turn the character left, when I release the key, the char keeps turning for a half to a full second before it stops. Or move forward, same thing. My DDG-fu hasn't come up with much, hoping someone has an idea why that might happen. I have seen this in other games as well but this is the most recent.

Thanks all!

I just finished Final Fantasy XVI (loved it). Next on my ps5 I will probably make my way through Spiderman Miles Moralis, and maybe start totk on my switch.

Well, it happened a bit earlier than I expected but I'm officially here now. Hello friends 👋 in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

Unrelated, but love the username, even though I never finished the series.

This (in Reddit parlance). Kbin has come a long way even in the short time since I came here at the beginning of the reddit protest a few weeks ago. I am hoping with the second influx of refugees it will get even better now.

Just crashes for me. I can't even get it to load.

Tips on troubleshooting Wine (kbin.social)
 

Hi all. I was hoping someone knew of some good resources on troubleshooting problems running games in Wine. How to identify a problem and steps to take when things don't work, or partially work.

For example I use Lutris to install/play my GOG games. One game, Temple of Elemental Evil, seems to be picky about running under one version of Wine or another. It seems to be happy running under lutris-GE-Proton7-43-x86_64, but crashes on startup on any other version of lutris-proton I have tried. It also won't work on the regular lutris, or fshack versions. So why this one in particular? I haven't done anything to it to make it stand out. But I don't understand enough to identify what is going on.

Or if a game simply won't run at all, I can look at the error logs and sometimes identify what is keeping it from running, but don't know what to do to fix it. For example Soulbringer opens an initial configuration window before launching the game, but when I click play, nothing happens and the error log says "PATCH.DLL" failed to initialize.

Was just hoping for a good resource to help me understand how to diagnose and fix these problems when they come up.

Thanks!
