How do you deal with VLC themes + tiler ? (lemmy.ml)

I'm curious, what do you do about VLC if you use a tiling WM ?

Do you ignore the pain and still use a theme ?
Do you not use a theme and live with it messing up your nice color scheme ?
Do you just not use VLC ?

Oh I get that, just looking for someone has never worked for me either, it's so much effort and so little chance of working out that I just can't be bothered. The relationships I had were with people I met through common interests. Like an IRL meeting of an online RPG and stuff like that. It's so much easier to get to know people when you already have things in common, you can skip most of the annoying parts. Wish I had a cat too, though !

Thanks for the tip I always forget about the 32 bit thing and then wonder why stuff doesn't work 😅

Wait how did I watch so many videos of this channel in preparation for switching to Nix but miss this one ? 😂 (Thanks !)

Thanks it's reassuring to know ! I mostly use steam, lutris and minigalaxy (better DLC management than lutris for gog games) so it will be nice if I can keep them 🙂 I didn't know protontricks so thanks for the recommendation !

Thanks a lot ! I'll try it when my gaming computer is repaired 😀 I'm on a laptop with an intel GPU in the meantime so hopefully it will be easier

Yes that really sucks... I'm glad I'm a straight woman so I don't have it as bad, I just don't know how guys who have the same problem manage 🫤

Gaming on NixOS ? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, I am considering switching to NixOS and I was wondering what level of hassle I should expect for gaming.

I have been using linux for about 10 months so I don't know a lot yet. I am wondering if it is worth it to try gaming on Nix or if it is going to be way too much of a headache considering my limited knowledge.

I've had wildly different experiences trying gaming on different distros, and very differently from what I expected. It went from fine for a weird niche distro (antiX), to really awful for a distro supposedly "easy" and "good for gaming" (Manjaro 😑), to absolutely amazing gaming distro (Nobara), and finally to surprisingly good for a "don't try unless you are a Level 99 Tech Wizard dual-classed Zen Master you idiot" distro (Arch). So I really have no clue what to expect from Nix.

I really like Arch but my main issue is that I keep forgetting what I have already configured and how and with which settings, or I leave stuff partially configured because adhd then I forget it wasn't finished and where I was at, so using config files instead sound insanely more convenient and I've been wanting to try Nix for a while.

I'd be really glad for anyone willing to share their experience of gaming on Nix 🙂

Talking to people I don't know and initiating conversations in general. If the other person doesn't approach me first, I can't do it myself. I'm not much into dating, but it's really inconvenient for socializing in general.

Nothing yet, I'm still trying to figure out how to get my orange pi working... not much progress yet because I am just starting and making a server is very intimidating 😅 For now I'd like to just get it working so I can access a hard drive, and if I manage that and feel very daring, then pihole, jellyfin and home assistant.

Cat pictures ? Definitely the best possible use of a server 😄

I thought I had left that crap behind years ago when I ditched Internet Explorer for Firefox, and then Firefox for Waterfox... but since switching to linux a few months ago I haven't managed to install it so I've been stuck with Firefox... 😠 Time to try Librewolf I guess.
