Caps lock is slow on linux in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I actually found that option (damn plasma has everything lol) and selecting it killed the capslock completely. However, doing whatever the person did in the link without the option selected fixed the issue.

Why are they "cost cutting"? Are they going broke or something?

Plasma is actually pretty light. It's right in line with XFCE.

Save it and then go to “Gnome Tweaks” and activate the option “make Caps Lock an additional Ctrl” on “Additional Layout Options - Caps Lock behavior”.

And how do I do that on Plasma? What's the equivalent to that in plasma?

😂. Of course I'm joking. That claim is bullshit. Hey I know a guy who sold a bridge, and he's wealthy now. Source: trust me, he told me.

"an alarming number of important people" is the source. That's more than enough, right?

Fix for the capslock slow response in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It's not hatred, but I grew up in a 3rd world country where computer teaching didn't exist until I got to college, and even then, it was one 30 minutes class a week. I didn't even know many shortcuts and key combinations until I got to the US back in 2010. I'd never known that a shift key would do such things. All I knew was capslock is to make letters caps. I guess my brain was wired differently in this regard. I'm 42 now and I'm still catching up on a lot of things I've missed out on in my young days. I've just now gotten a job as a programmer literally 2 weeks ago (the irony of not knowing how to use the shift key, right?) I'm still learning about computers. I started using Linux back in 2018 and I'm still learning about it. Thanks to Linux, my learning process has been sped up a lot. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, and I hope that that answers your question. Lol

Lol. I've learned how to touch type and I do it very well, but I can never get used to using shift. I just can't. I really tried so much.

How to change launch option on the steam app? (lemmy.kde.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all, I have a 4k monitor and the steam app is very tiny. I have found out that I can fix it by running the app in the terminal with steam -forcedesktopscaling 2, but it is getting tiring launching it through the terminal. Is there any way I can change something in the app itself and make it launch with that command? KDE Plasma on endeavour OS is what I'm running Tried going into the .desktop file to add the command somewhere in the "exec", but failed. Could someone please help? Thank you

How to get the best out of Radeo GPUs (lemmy.kde.social)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi all, I have just built my first PC ever. And having dealt with nvidia the last 5 years on Linux and experiencing the pain first hand, I went all AMD. For now, I only have the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and this things is a beast (I'm saving up for an AMD GPU). The only thing I do is emulate some old games. I'm still getting some hiccups here and there and wanted to make sure I'm getting the best out of it. What drivers do I need to look for to get the best out of their Radeon GPU? I already have amd ucode and mesa installed out of the box. I've found a driver called "lib32-vulkan-radeon" in the arch repos. Do I need to install that one? If anyone is kind enough to list the packages that I need to look for and download I'd very much appreciate it. Thank you

export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 no longer works (lemmy.kde.social)

I'm trying to get the scaling right on my 4k monitors, but icons look wonky, and the whole thing doesn't look right. I used to just throw export PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in /etc/environment or ~/profile, log out and log back in, and I'm good, but now this doesn't do anything. I can't be on wayland 100% since not everything works still. Any idea why this is?
