Talos… are you running kubernetes for your laptop you mad lad? Also, not aware that the coreboot is ready yet for any of the non-chromebook machines. (Edit: meant coreboot for Framework laptops)

Is that method different from using the hot keys to swap layouts?

Depends on your desktop environment and if you are using Wayland. If you use the hot keys, probably try those first since using the terminal can mess those up. It’s a bit of a hammer, but I typically manage keyboard layouts only using the terminal.

Like can I tell it to always use that mapping for that game or do I need to remember to run it each time I play the game and then set it back after I’m done (or automate that)?

Hmm, I’ve never had the need, but I would start by changing the game command in your launcher (Steam, Lutis, etc.)

I use gamemode to automate things like changing my RGB light patterns when running a game, maybe there is a per-game thing you could do…

Correct, you will need to pair as a Switch controller (or usb dongle) for the Steam Deck to be able to see the gyro . I find I use the gyro less since it doesn’t have the capacitive thumpsticks for triggering gyro input.

Hey, long-time Dvorak user here, almost as long as a Linux user.

When I start playing a new game, I usally just go with defaults. Some games (like all Valve games) do a good job of using keyscan codes for bindings and mapping them to the layout. If that’s not the case the game is likely to be incorretly using the keyscan codes, or just using the OS’s key events. If that’s the case, I will just force qwerty with setxkbmap us and restart the game. After a few hours, I try to rebind keys for dvorak. Persoally, I like to change keyboardings to use Tribe’s ESDF layout instead of WASD anyway.

If you are using wayland for your display, setxkbmap is great since most games run in Xwayland mode, so native apps will still be in Dvorak.

I don’t really need to type much in games anyway now, so I don’t mind keeping with qwerty bindings. I play Starcraft 2 this way.

The worst experience I can recall is Natural Selection 2, which its game engine refused to bind non-alphanumeric keys like ‘,’ 😵‍💫… But that was playing with Windows, would probably work with Linux if the game was still alive.

Runs great, been playing though the Metroid Pimes series with PrimeHacks. Solid 60fps

Digg Gold you say… 🤔

I’ve done some gaming in my nix laptop, no problem

Think you mean their configuration.nix file ;)

I hated the story, but the game play and world building was amazing.

Makes me nostalgic for when everyone agreed that killing Nazis was good clean fun. (Or am I too old now since I’m thinking of pre Mondern Warfare?)

We get it, you boulder. 🧗‍♂️

Haha, I guess it should be just famous, huh?

I wonder if they have been a user since 1991. If so that’s pretty impressive. Given that would be the same year Linus send his infamous newsgroup email announcing his work to port Minix.

Htmx does use javascript under the hood, but just makes it so the developer can use html markdown for more a more interactive environment that’s driven sever side. So the initial page load should render, but UI elements might not work as intended.

htmx is more a move back to REST as it was originally defined (aka not json backend).

Hope you don’t write go :D

Oh, I haven’t seen these threads in a whi

There won’t be a big WAN Show segment about this or anything

The starting line really puts me off. I don’t really care much about the tech content but find their videos entertaining.

I have un-subscribed from all their channels and will see how much this video is addressed in the next WAN before I decide if to continue to watch their content at all going forward.

Huh, I thought it was just doing url based blocking and not hooking into the UI side, will have to take a look. Kinda treat browser plug-ins as a set and forget it thing.

Valve has been amazing for linux long before the Steam Deck. They have been putting in a huge amount of work and support for Linux when they launched the ill fated Steam Machines. Back when MS was looking to force 3rd party stores out of the Windows ecosystem.
