  • You don’t really need STL, just set gamescope as the launch parameter. I suggest checking --help to see what the flags do, but in general you’ll want gamescope -W <res width> -H <res height> -r <refresh rate> -f --force-grab-cursor --hdr-enabled -e -- %command%. This works for me on TEKKEN 8, Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic.

    There are some issues, however. Some games might just freeze when running with gamescope (or gamescope with HDR flags), which is the case for me with Deep Rock, it’ll freeze merely 20 seconds after it starts. Second issue is that, at least for me, the image will be incredibly dark and for some reason the SDR content brightness slider on Plasma settings will change the brightness of the HDR gamescope window, so I have to set it to 1000 to “fix” the brightness, but my desktop will be blown out with brightness.




  • Instead of focusing efforts into maintaining and improving their current products, of which many lack basic features, Proton decides to (in less than a month it seems) expand their portfolio into crypto bro and AI grifter territory.

    I was already quite annoyed and unhappy with Proton’s services lacking things and the steep price (13€ a month and I can’t even use unlimited addresses for my custom domain), but this is the last straw. Fortunately I was already planning to move out so I’m able to just set everything up tomorrow and be done with it. I’m planning to get Migadu’s micro plan, move back to Bitwarden and get that Hetzner 1TB StorageShare, the three combined will be cheaper than 13€ a month and I’ll be getting more bang for my buck







  • For most use cases of Photoshop, GIMP is not an alternative at all. For more basic use cases it is, but st that point you shouldn’t be wasting efforts on Photoshop anyways, something like Paint.NET would be the recommended.

    The closest we have for any Adobe alternatives are Affinity Photo for Photoshop, but that one is not free nor open source, but it’s a lifetime pay once license. For some use cases of Photoshop and Illustrator you could use Krita, which is FOSS, and for Premiere there’s DaVinci resolve, which has Linux builds and a free version.
