I've tried using GIMP and it absolutely sucks and I wish there was a good paint.net replacement.

Something I found about a lot of open source projects is that the UI is always terrible

Those are not material icons, please don't google

hopefully these are just a test or something

Photon community has moved to lemdro.id (self.photon)

The Photon community has moved from lemmy.xylight.dev to lemdro.id, because it's getting difficult to have to keep my old instance online.

All updates and questions should go here from now on!

Trying to narrow down an extremely infuriating issue with Mesa on an AMD GPU (self.linux_gaming)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by Xylight to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

I have a few questions, please comment if you match all of most of these:

Do you use an RX 6000 series GPU?
Do you experience random freezes when playing games?
Are those freezes a "page fault"? (Use journalctl to check)
Do these issues occur in OpenGL games?
Are the page faults a GCVM_PROTECTION_FAULT?
What mesa version do you use?
What Linux distro do you use?

I've been having frequent freezes and it renders my operating system nearly unusable. I have to restart my computer to recover, and I lose all of my unsaved work.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Do you use an RX 6000 card on Linux but have not had this issue?

Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] Xylight 28 points 7 months ago

It's weird how lots of devs treat chrome as a standard, even though when developing I have a lot more issues with Chrome browsers than Firefox browsers

Duplicated communities are a problem. But this stuff fills peoples' feeds.
