I really didn't expect 1010Music to add USB audio, but it's a very welcome addition!

It's not the world's most feature-rich implementationโ€”just stereo in/out 44.8k/24-bitโ€”but it's perfect for my needs and lets me get rid of one more device from my live setup.

Fuck ๐Ÿ‘ off ๐Ÿ‘ "stale" ๐Ÿ‘ bots.

If you are a developer that uses these to automatically close issues that have been valid for months and conveniently rely on a response from ONE person in an ocean of other responses, please reconsider your life choices. If there were no other responses? Fine. That's on the person to reply. But the bot should immediately eject itself from the conversation the moment someone else chimes in. Closing issues like this seriously hurts discoverability for developers and users alike.

I am saying this in the nicest way possible, COSMIC has a great dark theme but this light theme needs to go back in the oven and cook a little longer, it looks like an out of date theme where component names have changed and now colors are being applied to the wrong things
in reply to Jeremy Soller ๐Ÿฆ€

@soller It's good that themes are fully customizable but the typical approach for a light theme is the lighter color should be the background and the darker color should be the elements you want to highlight. Dark themes you do the reverse, the darker color is the background and the lighter color is the parts you want to highlight. COSMIC does the dark theme great

Mountain Hare - from a stroll up the hills today. It was bitterly cold, but the hares were relaxed and allowed me to get close enough.

Taken with a Canon R5 and RF100-500mm lens.

Always lovely to see in the Highlands Of Scotland.

'Since 2020, the richest five men in the world have doubled their fortunes. During the same period, almost five billion people globally have become poorer. Hardship & hunger are a daily reality for many people worldwide. At current rates, it will take 230 years to end poverty, but we could have our first trillionaire in 10 years'!

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

interesting, I played it yesterday and the performance was worse than on Windows. I have a Radeon 6700 XT and a Ryzen 5 3600.

I set everything to low and I couldn't get a stable enough FPS that my monitor's FreeSync premium would stabilize on 120 Hz.

this doesn't happen on Windows, there I get a smooth performance overall. I reported these issues on ProtonDB.

in reply to Alex

@xinayder not surprising - it was never designed specifically for linux and only just started working with Proton, so it will take time for Proton devs and graphics driver devs to optimize it
@Alex
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Can confirm, running Nobara, Ryzen 5 5600X and RX 6650 XT, getting around 100FPS at 1080p on high settings.

i will have to try the new version, for me the only game launcher that has worked reasonably well so far launching Rebel Galaxy Outlaw using Vulkan Radv with my AMD 500 firepro GPU on Debian 12 has been Heroic using Wine-GE and automatically applied known prefixes, Lutris did not work at that time, Wine did not work, Steam with Proton did not work.
