Don’t have an answer unfortunately, but i do wonder now if i could get my game running in a similar way with a browser token. I don’t play pokemon TCG, but i did like playing this old crusty mmo called Darkorbit, which finally switched from flash to unity like 1 or 2 years ago, but it has the same issue on linux where it can launch just fine and it doesn’t use anti-cheat, but it can’t load the login page. Last time i looked into it i ended up finding the pokemon TCG issue and it seems to be the same problem, where it’s relying on Edge for the login.

Well i’ll be damned, just decided to try getting the game to work again, cause after this post i decided to do some searching once more and it seemed someone found a workaround, but it turns out the workaround isn’t even needed anymore. I wrote a reply in the github gist here explaining the steps i took. I guess i can now play my mmo slop again if i get the itch lol

Hmm, i don’t know if the qxl error is the cause of this, but i’m pretty sure that’s related to the video settings for your VM. Maybe you could try one of the other options like virtio to see if that works?

Hmm, that does look correct and if it reconfigured without errors it’s probably alright. Another thing you could try is run ls /var/log and see if there’s an entry for gdm. If there is you could cat the log file and see what it says

I’m not sure if this will work, but what you can try is replacing the %desktop-services with this:

(modify-services %desktop-services
  (gdm-service-type config =>
                                   (gdm-configuration
                                     (inherit config)
                                     (wayland? #f))))

I’m not sure if wayland is actually the problem though, especially if gdm was working fine before you swapped to lxqt. Another thing i’m thinking of is maybe lxqt isn’t properly exposing a session file to gdm, and perhaps gdm crashes because it doesn’t find any sessions to start. I think i’ve seen other people adding this session file manually but i would have to look up how it’s done. The thing is i don’t use a DE myself, and i’m using greetd+gtkgreet as a display manager and it just launches me into a tty, and then my bash_profile has a snippet that checks which tty i’m and whether it’s empty, and if it is it launches my wayland compositor of choice.

Well from a glance the config looks fine. I looked at the documentation but there’s not a lot of information on what the lxqt service actually includes. My first guess as to why it drops you to a tty is that perhaps it doesn’t include a display manager.

Edit: actually nevermind, you’re appending to %desktop-services and i’m pretty sure that includes gdm. Maybe the problem lies in gdm trying to use wayland by default. There’s an option to change that, i’ll see if i can find it.

What error are you getting? Does it reconfigure succesfully?

Well i use guix as a full OS but i still have nix installed as well for some packages that aren’t in guix

Meanwhile as a guix+nix user i can just build it against that old library version because nothing can conflict with each other anyway

I actually wasn’t aware mango had a version that supports HDR, that’s good to know.

Aside from DEs like KDE i think the only other tiling compositor that has HDR support is sway (they added it in their latest release). Unfortunately i’m not really versed with latency stuff cause i’m not competitive, but it might be worth a look to see if it can work for you.

Edit: it seems like mango does have a version with HDR support after reading the replies, i did not know that.

I had a similar thought proces when i heard outlets say gta 6 story is like 80 hours. I was like "for a regular gamer? Or a “game journalist”?

Nah, just declare your packages programmatically

I’m not a programmer so maybe i can’t be too harsh of a judge on this, but i’ve heard multiple programmers claim that AI writes better code than them, and i just find that alarming, cause based on what i’ve seen genAI do in every other field surely it can’t be that good right? Makes me wonder how good they really are at their craft to begin with.

I’m not sure what the correlation is between gnome 3 and standalone window managers. Initially i switched because i liked the idea of it being more minimal, but i also like the dynamic tiling model, which is something that doesn’t seem to work as well with most DEs, aside from maybe cosmic, but atp i have no reason to try it.

Yes, openbox is a standalone window manager. I used it as my first standalone window manager years ago before i moved on to tiling.

I think your problem with tiling is a matter of switching mental model, or it’s just not for you. But you’re right, having like 5 or 8 windows open on a given workspace on a dynamic tiler is not a good experience, which is why i never open more than 3 or 4 windows on a given workspace. I either close what i don’t need or send it to another workspace. The benefit of tiling is that you don’t have to bother arranging your windows cause it already does it for you, and you can see all windows that are open at a glance. Even in a floating environment i doubt having 8 windows open at once is a good experience. You’re gonna be doing a lot of alt-tabbing and clicking the window you want to switch to, or whatever keybind DEs use for that.

Well, that is true lol. I shouldn’t be surprised if a company makes a stupid decision.

People keep saying this, and i can’t entirely rule out that idea, but on the other hand i can’t help but feel like it would be very stupid for rockstar to attach themselves to a cryptoscam. The crypto part of the leaks just makes them look really bad if they are truly behind this.

Yeah i never bothered with separate /home because it feels like such a balancing act to decide on size compared to root. Especially when you use nix/guix, it would be annoying to have a small root with the store filling up over time and having to do garbage collecting often. Also, i just back up whatever files i want to make sure i don’t lose, and when i do a clean install i actually want everything to be wiped anyway, including home.

Yeah, i guess it basically comes down to when i want to tinker vs when i have to tinker.
