overview for Ziglin

I love the new vertical tabs. I just wish I could select which side of the window the sidebar is placed on per window since I have a browser on each monitor.

I also sort my tabs by entertainment or manuals in the one window, active reading or similar in the main window. That helps sort my 400+ tabs enough and if that's not enough I can always search.

Ah you probably rebooted before saving it to long term storage :P

Firefox only actually allocates memory for loaded tabs. I have >400 open at the moment but the 700MiB of memory are shared between three bloated websites and Firefox itself.

Control+Shift+T restores the last closed tab. That solution works lol (but it really feels like it shouldn't)

They has always been a 3rd person personal pronoun just like he/she/it have as far as I know. The thing that people find upsetting is that people want to go back to using it as a singular after some grammarians decided everyone should use he or her for a while.

You American's lost your manners the moment you sent off that declaration of independence huh? The civilized people on this side of the pond do tend to use utensils for their food.

Looking for Tips on Controller Support in Steam Games (lemmy.world)

I've recently been playing more games with controller support on Steam and have had some issues getting them to work.

I have a DualShock 4 Controller (for a PS4) and it works fine for some proton games with controller support (Rainworld and BG3 for example) work fine out of the box. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Balatro both work with the default settings but only on Wayland (Hyprland). The games that work only on Wayland display Xbox button glyphs, leading me to believe that they are using Steam Input. I have in the past been able to play games with no controller support using Steam Input to emulate keyboard inputs on x11.

I am now trying to play LEGO Lord of the Rings which has Xbox Controller support but not Playstation Controller support and as such would require Steam Input. I would be happy to get it working on either x11 (i3) or preferably Wayland (Hyprland) but so far the closest I have gotten is being able to select my controller as an input device in the settings (by a button press being detected), this did however not allow me to perform any menu inputs and I was not able to reproduce it after restarting the game.

Overall my experience with my controller has gotten slightly worse over the past years (x11 only, I have barely used it when on Wayland) and I was wondering if anyone in this community had experience with non Xbox/Steam controllers in Steam that they would be willing to share.

A few of side notes:

The controller works fine for Steam in big picture mode and it is an official Play Station controller from Sony.
My Steam is installed via flatpak on the device using x11 and the device using Wayland.
Both devices are setup with EndeavourOS (arch based).
I run most of my non native games on Proton Experimental.

If I missed some important details that could help resolve my issues or explain why the controller behaves so different on the two devices I'm happy to answer questions :)
