  • I’m going to finish school soon and I want to drive a car when I have a job and can afford it. I’ve used public transportation for the past 3 years and will probably still use it in the future when it’s not too inconvenient but a 30 min drive to work taking 1 hour instead, where I spend 30 minutes just waiting, sucks. This weekend I drove to a friend. It would have taken 30 minutes by car but it took me 2 hours with public transport because I had to wait a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes. The issue isn’t public transportation itself but that the government was trying to save as much money as possible and it is getting better with the new government but there is still so much to do and it will take time.




  • I think this makes sense. I still need X11 for VR because GNOME still doesn’t have display leasing on Wayland but once that gets implemented I won’t be using X11 anymore. I think most people don’t need X11 anymore either. For people like me who still need it for specific things, it can just be installed again manually.











  • I use a Valve Index on GNOME as well, so here’s a few things:

    • VR doesn’t work yet on GNOME Wayland, you need to select GNOME on Xorg when logging in
    • Sometimes the LEDs are red and the headset doesn’t get detected, just unplug the cable and plug it back in
    • You might also need to press on the cable where it connects on the headset sometimes, it can become a little loose
    • Use CoreCTRL to manually set the GPU performance profile to high, it doesn’t do that automatically for some reason and there’s a huge performance difference
    • If you have the issue that moving your head makes it look like the image is jumping back and forth, go into the per-application video settings of the game from SteamVRs menu and turn on Legacy reprojection
      • This only happens when I have very low FPS, the CoreCTRL thing fixed it for me without having to use this option
    • There’s an older SteamVR version for Linux you can select as a beta option for SteamVR in Steam but I’d actually not recommend using it, it only works when games use Proton 5 and there are newer games that don’t work with a Proton verison that old. A lot of the issues the regular SteamVR version had are fixed now and it works pretty well for me.
