If you’re ok with emulation (or have the hardware & means to acquire the game), the infamous Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is similar to Robocraft - only singleplayer-focused, with the technical limitations of the Xbox 360, and a bastardized version of the BK artistic direction.
I’m not sure the game aged well, but other than that I got nothing
I saved this post hoping for a useful answer, alsa alas, there seems to be none.
I’m not an audiophile so I’m more or less spreading misinformation, but I think you’re looking to configure ALSA’s device gain rather than going through pipewire.
kusivittula here mentioned alsamixer, and I found a StackExchange answer saying that you can save its current state using alsactl store (with sudo or write access to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state).
Alternatively, you can edit /var/lib/alsa/asound.state yourself.
It doesn’t work if your problem involves audio streams (so *I* am SOL), but making changes through alsamixer seems to lower my headset’s volume so that I can comfortably set it to 100% through wireplumber - I imagine that would also apply to mic gain.
Pantheon deserved better.
I wouldn’t ever have known it existed if I didn’t find the first season on aniwave of all places…
When I first played FL I thought it came out with all the others *^*
I don’t outright dislike X4, but IMO it feels too… streamlined, in a way. You’ve got less wares, less ships, less sectors, no jumpdrive (yes I see the reasoning, no I still want the jumpdrive), the Xenon lost their aesthetic just to look like Mass Effect reapers, and fuckers stole my magnificently redundant ship classes. Can’t have ship in Detroit.
X3: Terran Conflict.
Yes, we got X3FL in 2021 AND X4, but X4 is a very different game and X3FL is just a heavily scripted X3AP (more or less).
It’s a more-than-me years old game with a lot of mods that keep it enjoyable to day – as “enjoyable” as it can be, that janky piece o’ junk – but I feel about it the same way I feel about Halo 2: imagine what it could have been, if the devs had the resources they could have today. (if you say “X4” I’m going to fucking flip)
I haven’t played E:D so I can’t really make comparisons, but maybe X3/X4 can pique your interest?
I don’t think they can justify a home cockpit setup, they’re also kinda hard to get into (especially X3, you can’t get far without a guide), but hey, there’s a combined 1.5% chance that you haven’t heard of them and that you’ll enjoy at least one of them if you don’t care much about graphics. Or voice acting. Or UI/UX.
Can’t ever have anything nice, huh.
I think GNOME’s filechooser is the GTK one (never used it so I’m not sure), mine looks like this:
It’s entirely possible that Firefox changed and now uses XDG portals by default, I configured it like this a long time ago.
As for how to configure it, I honestly don’t know.
It was a combination of messing with widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal on about:config, and changing XDG envvars and dotfiles; both by following several conflicting Reddit and bbs.archlinux.org posts.
XDG portal filechooser for Firefox: the KDE implementation uses Dolphin, which is full of features and I use most of them; the default GTK one is mildly infuriating to use and looks ugly too, but getting the browser to use the portal I want was a nightmare - especially since GTK discontinued the GTK_USE_PORTAL envvar.
The related Firefox config entries make no sense either.
Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/zsh
nl=$'\n'
dnl=$'\n\n'
url=$1
msgcontent=$url; shift
argi=1
for arg ($@); do
argi=$(($argi + 1))
msgcontent=${msgcontent}${nl}Argument\ ${argi}': '${arg}
done
title="${0:A}"
msg="An application attempted to open a web page:${dnl}\"${msgcontent}\"${dnl}Copy the URL to clipboard?"
kdialog --title $title --yesno $msg
answer=$?
if [[ $answer = 0 ]]; then wl-copy $url; fi
If you want to translate it to Bash, keep in mind that arrays behave differently between the two shells, and syntax like for arg ($@); do would likely misbehave or not work at all.
Also, there’s an issue where some applications do something weird, and the URL seems to be a zero-length argument. I have absolutely no idea what’s up with that.
You can set some browser-unrelated program or script as your desktop environment’s default browser, for example I wrote a Zsh script that creates a KDE dialog and asks me to copy the URL to the clipboard.
I’m not currently at my PC, but if you want it I can paste it in a comment here when I get to it - it shouldn’t be too hard to translate it to Bash, either.
Other than that? /usr/bin/true is a pretty nice default browser for applications to start without your consent, very minimal and lightweight.
You don’t have to switch, you can dualboot if you have some disk space to spare.
Unfortunately the only rolling-release distro I’ve ever used for more than 10 minutes is Arch Linux, which is not “easy to use”; it’s not hard, but you have to tinker with it every now and then (especially in the beginning, since you have to set everything up) - if you run pacman updates without looking at the archlinux.org frontpage beforehand you might find yourself with a malfunctioning bootloader or something on that nature.
AL updates are known for breaking things a few times, but in my opinion it offers a good compromise between DIY and … y’know, Ubuntu.
I just use Zsh’s command history, coupled with a bunch of functions and aliases to set up different HISTFILE values for different workflows.
I keep HISTFILEs clean by prepending a whitespace before commands that I don’t want to remember, which unfortunately gave me the habit of doing that on Bash when Zsh isn’t available (which is ineffective at best, and actively annoying at worst).
