I don't know man. Mac OS also has no software to open a lot of file types out of the box but even people with little to computer knowledge are able to download the things they need from the app store. They can do the same in ubuntu as well

If I remember correctly, the dev did say he will implement this when he can. At the very least he is aware that inline pictures are a requested feature

This is not a big issue. In the installer or first time boot welcome pop up, just add a page where some popular apps are shown and can be selected to be downloaded and installed.

Also what the fuck does the author mean when he says ubuntu is special¿? It is not that different from other distros and the ways that it is different does not make it better

And you definitely have to use DRI_PRIME=1 argument for every game to open them with dGPU.

In my case, I am on a amd+amd laptop and I don't have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 argument to make the game use the dGPU. It just automatically uses the dGPU but I have seen others mention that they needed to use the argument.

This is an issue/bug with steam trying to open with the dGPU. In the steam.desktop file, change the PrefersDedicatedGPU (might not be exactly worded like this) parameter from true to false. Though after using this, you might have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 with your games to make them use the dGPU

Edit : credit for this goes to a kind gentleman who helped with the issue 2 months ago when the new steam UI dropped.

Hardware decoding does work when using YouTube in the browser through VA API

Your issues earlier could have been a nvidia issue

I can confirm that VP9, HEVC and H.264 encoding/decoding work when using the VA-API. Can't comment on AV1 hardware acceleration as my RDNA1 card does not support it but no reason why it should not work. Also keep in mind that in both fedora and opensuse, the official Mesa package does not contain the code needed for HEVC and H.264 encoding as these are not royalty free and hence have been removed in fear of a lawsuit. You can replace these Mesa installs with community packaged versions which have support for all codecs.

Arch, debian and other distros don't have this problem.

Edit : Regarding the browser support for video acceleration, Firefox and its derivatives, support can be enabled easily(but it's not enabled out of the box). Chromium supports it as well but I have not tried it as I use Firefox and have only dabbled with chromium

You seem to have misunderstood. OP is asking about the wayland support of RX780M integrated graphics in newer amd ryzen processors

[–] Sentau@lemmy.one 13 points 2 years ago

Lemmy does not have push notification support. To enable notifications, 3rd party apps will have to make API calls to the lemmy API at regular intervals which would be costly for

  1. Lemmy as the api traffic would increase massively.
  2. For your phone battery as sync would keep running in the background and keep sending API queries

There isn't a list of communities you can pore through. You will find that feature from the official lemmy site of your instance though. On there you have an communities option(?) where you can see subscribed, local and all communities.

Voyager does have a very good search feature to search for specific communities.

No filters set as far as I am aware. I will try to link a video of the issue if possible.
