@Nibodhika @I_Has_A_Hat umm, what does the chinese language have to do with any of this, I wonder?

@GustavoM @simple hmm, interesting. How do I make pacman work on ubuntu? I mean, just because it’s technically possible, doesn’t mean it’s at all easy to do, in any stretch of the imagination

@brunofin @xan1242 Idk, I use them all the time. And furthermore, emulation needs to be precise and fast, not written in some modern technology, if the need doesn’t outway the efforts put into it. Or, maybe I’m mistaken, I may have misunderstood what you mean. So, perhaps you can clarify?

@ObviouslyNotBanana @grue it’s much better now than when people were using jack incantations and trying to figure a whole host of stuff out, which in most cases was hardware specific and very esoteric, needless to speak of people chasing lowlatency setups, in so many weird directions that afew people actually came up with kernel patches to apparently make the whole thing have 0 xruns. Yeah, absolutely weird, better that this doesn’t happen anymore hopefully

@Chais do games actually output 5.1 nowadays? Most of those I know use libraries like steamaudio, which simulates it using in-app hrtf, mixing the signal on its own

@n3cr0 ahh, I guess that’s more or less normal hrtf, which any respectable audiogame can replicate

@Chais @n3cr0 how do you replicate that with pipewire anyway? Sure, you can rig up the nodes and all, but are games actually outputting surround nowadays, or how do you benefit from all that work?

@noodlejetski conduit, the matrix server? that’s definitely weird

@superguy windows or linux?

@ReverseModule @Excrubulent is it only me, or the video has no sound at all?

@darkeox @NZV65572 @Oha what is, nvidia or amd? amd does have raytracing, and nvidia has vulkan with proprietary drivers as far as I know, but maybe I’m missing context because my server didn’t load all the thread

@Chee_Koala @SleepyWheel ubuntu studio is not a DAW, it’s a music producer focused ubuntu flavour. If you want an open DAW, did you try zrythm?

@Silejonu @Natal @pete_the_cat then, how is it that usb keys and drives work with both windows and linux, once they have been formatted? Is there a different filesystem involved in that case? I, for one, didn’t have issues writing on a USB drive, is that an uncommon scenario?

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social is this the compositor handoff protocol? is that implemented by all major compositors already?

@woelkchen @Bilu47 I recommend that thing would be under the gpl, but to each their own

@popcar2 yes, the ntfs problem hit me as well, as I previously commented on other occasions. Also, I didn’t think that intel mobile integrated gpu’s wouldn’t be recognised by opengl or vulkan, but that’s how it goes apparently

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social hmm, now that I try to join the matrix room, I see that I’m already in it. Wonderful! this means that the people there heard my rumblings regarding kde, mostly the software, not the desktop, being very inaccessible and unusable. For the desktop, the worst is the settings app

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ok, thanks! kde 5 is almost more accessible than gnome already, if it becomes better with kde 6, probably it’s gonna be the default desktop for blind and visually impaired linux users, beginners and advanced alike. By advanced, I mean those who still use desktop environments, in stead of switching to a tiling window manager, like some I know do.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social lol, that’s a pretty interesting mistake to make, I want to do it some time! Also, I’m reading stuff about the visual issues of plasma 6, especially under wayland. However, what about accessibility? would plasma 6 become more accessible? would the orca not reading windows under wayland thing be fixed? what about the issue where you have to click the desktop with the mouse first, before you can read it with screenreaders?

that’s possible, ntfs and linux are known to not work very well, as you probably have seen in this thread.
