AFAIK it's being worked on but time is a major issue for the person handling the MR.

I'd love to donate specifically to get Virtio/VirGL on a Windows guest. Given that VirtualBox and VMware could be on very shaky ground thanks to their owners, I think libvirt will be the long-term solution.

Not applicable to AMD, and device passthrough can be clunky and not worth it if the user isn't doing anything that GPU-intensive.

Yeah I got a headphone dongle for my phone. Cider 2 is still nice though, 256kbps AAC (whether CBR or VBR) is fine for most people, and it seems to stay in that bitrate.

I'd think so, otherwise it would've been dropped by a lot of the major distros by now. They don't have a specific community like the XFCE forums, though they do have a dedicated wiki.

Teya & Salena represented Austria in Eurovision last year with "Who the Hell is Edgar?", it was written from the perspective of wanting to be taken seriously in the industry, veiled through a fun song about being possessed by the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe, though the bridge gets quite blatant and singles out Spotify for not paying its artists properly. It was one of the favourites in the Eurovision community last year and I think it would've done better had the Finland vs. Sweden rivalry not happened.

I was able to get lossless back then. It's a matter of enabling fake_wifi for the app in Waydroid. You have to play a track for it to activate, but that's also a bug I've experienced on my actual phone.

I'd say try Void in a virtual machine if you have that itch. It should run fine on libvirt setups or VMware.

I would say use a cross-platform password manager that supports it in that case. Bitwarden, 1Password and Enpass all have Linux versions and support TOTP, and in the case of Enpass, it has local wifi sync so none of it goes to them. I get that moving 2FA codes to that can be time-consuming, though.

Used to use it for Apple Music but Cider 2 does what I want now, especially since Apple started locking down AM on rooted devices (of which Waydroid basically is) for no good reason.

Has Virtiofs matured lately into something that can be used day-to-day? I ask because I think the virtio stuff will be better for Windows virtualisation in the long-term, especially when VMware's future is not certain, but I heard folder-sharing on Windows guests was pretty bad from Lemmy recently, and a few years ago I tried it and yeah, I have to agree.

[–] Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 6 months ago

Some companies are alright with this but yeah there's always a catch with Apple.

Might as well shoot the question here. Thought I'd ask since I ordered it, and I am a little worried with UK customs. The order form said there was nothing in import tax, so I presume customs will keep it until then?

(FWIW, I've ordered internationally before but tax has been handled just fine there. This is the first time I've come across this.)

Edit 2024-02-23: The plush arrived quite a while ago (early Feb) with no issues regarding customs. Honestly a really good quality plush for the price.

This isn't so much an Arch issue (For what it's worth, this also happened on Nobara) but rather a Pipewire issue but I wonder if anyone's had this issue as well as me...

Running Arch on linux-zen (to fulfill Waydroid's binder requirement), on a Ryzen 7950X, motherboard has a Realtek ALC4080, connected via USB (yes it's still an internal sound chip).

Basically, after any prolonged use, I would get a lot of stuttering. It got particularly bad when I was running MusicBrainz Picard while listening to something in VLC, but it will happen often, and constantly.

I've tried setting my default output to the headphones, no dice. Also tried some workarounds from the Arch Wiki, specifically disabling suspend. Still happens. Adding headroom errored out Wireplumber.

Anyone had this and if so, have they been able to fix it?

Edit: I'll probably have to check if it's a kernel thing. I've just done some intensive tasks (i.e. installing Gentoo in a virtual machine) and the cutoffs come back. I remember Arch having something on the Wiki about that.

 

Interesting video from a lawyer, explaining the whole drama between Nintendo, Dolphin and Valve. It explains a lot of the current legal precedent really well, as well as how Nintendo and their lawyers crafted the cease and desist letter to Valve.
