  • I experience little breakage with Librewolf, and when I do, maybe 75-85% of the time it is because the site only works with Chromium. I get extensions directly through the browser, I have not enabled anything as far as I am aware. And of course you can configure the cookie clearing. I quite like it, there are (in my case at least) not many exceptions you need to add before it works quite smoothly, but of course that depends on your usage.




  • Are you me? Except I use FreeTube instead of Piped. I am so happy with this solution. Years of discontent of watching services going through the enshittification cycle… everything just becoming so underwhelming. This has given me back freedom over my own media consumption. No ads. No endless scrolling through bullshit content. Just a nicely personally curated selection of movies and TV shows (on Jellyfin) and an ad-free YouTube-experience with sponsorblock and dearrow enabled, and blocking of live chats and shorts.










  • Thanks for the link. I tried running that, but it seems to fail loading the noveau-driver (I have the proprietary Nvidia-drivers installed, as far as I know I don’t have noveau installed). Does Godot in some way depend on using noveau, and can I install that alongside the proprietary drivers?

    This is the output from running with index 0 (as you can see, I’m using a Flatpak build, if that would make a difference?). Index 1 did not use the Nvidia-card, but rather llmvpipe or something (I’m guessing CPU-emulated card?), and that was extremely slow.

    Godot Engine v4.3.stable.flathub.77dcf97d8 - https://godotengine.org
    glx: failed to create dri3 screen
    failed to load driver: nouveau
    OpenGL API 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 24.1.3 (git-0c49f54c76) - Compatibility - Using Device: Intel - Mesa Intel(R) Graphics (ADL GT2)

    The second block is after loading the project where it switches to Vulkan from OpenGL.

    I’ll try the on-demand thing mention in the same post tomorrow, I’ve yet to ever try running that instead of either dGPU completely on or off.




  • Are you currently running Linux on it? If so, what kind and what is your experience so far? I am on a Fairphone 4 myself. Content with CalyxOS, but mobile Linux as daily driver is definitely where I want to go. My impression is that not all features work reliably yet. I would need regular phone functionality (incl 5G), GPS and camera to work at least.





  • Depends on your budget, I guess. My setup consists of a regular Samsung Smart-TV that I have disconnected from the network, connected to a mini-PC from Minisforum running Linux Mint. The reason I got that was mainly for gaming, could get away with a significantly cheaper option if not. I run my own Jellyfin-server for media content (movies, TV and music) and use FreeTube to watch YouTube (which I sync with my laptop and mobile using SyncThing). I do use a wireless foldable and rechargeable keyboard with built in trackpad, but it’s not working as great as I imagined. Corsair used to have a nice media keyboard, but as far as I know they have discontinued it and I haven’t yet found a new one that fits my criteria, so I keep using the foldable one.

    As for gaming, I run emulation through RetroArch and Steam in big picture mode. I have four 8BitDo Ultimate controllers in case I get any friends over who are keen on a round of Mario Kart.
