Mint since May. Preferring to work from home these days not to have to deal with Winslop 11 on my work laptop.

Being white must be all he has left. I would love to see Sanchez bringing him in front of the Alhambra: either his brain explodes scanners-style or he will claim to be 110% Nasrid.

Understood. I am happy they adopted this as it is a good feature, for example when asking for a contact at a conference and not wanting the person looking at your screen to see any messages from personal messaging etc.

We definitely need a better UI with highest prio for this.

As I am now on GrapheneOS, tell me if I have it understood: this is talking about apps getting notifications when the phone is unlocked, right?

In GOS even this option is already there, but to have the notifications hidden on the lock screen I believe has been there since forever, or is it a false memory of mine?

Correct me if I am wrong, if I switch away from a fullscreen application, I won't have it available to be terminated using xkill, right?

I had a problem with Unity games on Steam freezing the PC due to fractional scaling. In that case not even the terminal would show up. Also, if I switch away from a fullscreen application, I won't have it available to be terminated using xkill, right?

I miss a task manager-like shortcut to come out to the desktop and easily kill processes freezing the PC.

I have been requested to work from home tomorrow since our IT manager "has to" wipe my laptop and install Windows 11. I am happy to work from my Linux Gaming PC at least for one day before having to face this abyss of idiocy.

[SOLVED] Unity games downloaded from Steam not working on Linux Mint (lemmy.world)

Since a few weeks my Unity games are not working anymore on Steam (not flatpak) on Linux Mint.

I have tried Stick It to the Stickman, Olija and Dystopika. They all behave the same, with the audio starting playing fine, but still on a black screen. After that, nothing happens and even trying to switch window doesn't work or is extremely slow, requiring a few minutes to have anything happening.

Adding the same games to another launcher (Heroic), makes them work a bit, but eventually they stop at some loading screen and remain there forever.

I am on the latest OS version, I have the latest proprietary drivers from Nvidia, I have tried switching Proton versions and my GOG Unity games all work fine on Heroic.

I don't know if there are any logs I can submit, but I am all ears for any suggestions.

UPDATE: Solved! The problem was with the fractional scaling feature in Cinnamon. Once disabled, everything went back to work perfectly.

Thermaltake HDD Docking Station not recognized (lemmy.world)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/41331598

I am trying to use a Thermaltake Blacx Duet (ST0015) HDD Docking Station with my Linux computers (Linux Mint and Ubuntu, all latest).

I have a SATA disk plugged in one of the bays and when I connect it to a USB port with its cable (everything is brand new) nothing happens.

lsusb returns:

The only message in dmesgrelated to usb is:

which I understand means that the usb-storage module is loaded.

Same behavior in Ubuntu.

Does this mean that the hardware is just incompatible or is there anything more I can try?
