Hey there,

I think its not the first time you read about this.

I recently installed a Linux on my gaming pc and I want to fade out of Windows11 and into Linux only. So far so good.

One of my biggest concerns where the colours of my monitors. Since Adrenaline is not available on Linux, I hoped for another solution to get the colours bright and bangy. But it seems impossible with wayland.
And noo, its not a setting that my monitor can provide. It never was and it never will (I write it down since in every thread about this topic, someone was mentioning it sounds like something the monitor setting should handle).

• For X11 there was vibrantLinux.
• A maybe instable solution could be vibrant-cli.
• For games there is Gamescope thanks to Valve. But this only works for Games started from within Steam.

So this means, my Desktop/Browser still is not as bangy as I want it to be.

My search lead me to KWin scripting could be the solution. This is where I need some advice or somebody to confirm!

If I want to increase the overall colour saturation for my monitors, the correct way to go is to create a KWin script that does it, pack it as a package and use it.

I found the KWin Scripting tutorial over at develop.kde.org and I feel like solving this problem could be interesting.

Since I have no experience with JS, ECMA-Scripting or QMA, all this will be new and I want to know beforehand if I walk the right path. If not, a lot of time will be consumed just to realise I was wrong.

Thanks for reading :)

PS: I like KDE very much

PPS: Just if you never heard of Adrenaline: I have Radeon gpu

Hi,

Since r/NAS is not available and the Hardware@lemmy.ml could not provide that much help I am here again to ask stuff ;D.

My 10years old NAS quited work and I am looking for my opportunities. And since I am tinkering with my raspi and am generally interested in selfhosting stuff like jellyfin, joplin e.g. I decided to take the step to build my own Nas instead of buying another Synology device.

I would like to provide my needs but since I am not sure about it it is only a try... Moreover I cannot say where the journey will take me to^^

What I know:

• 4 sata slots so I can use my actual drives and have the option to upgrade
• Transcoding with jellyfin would be nice
• having my own cloud storage is a long term aim
• joplin server
• maybe some terraria dedicated server could be cool also
• low power usage and low noise are two criteria i would consider important since the energy prices only know one direction where I life
• x64 architecture to use debian server or TrueNas Scale (I need to dive deeper into TrueNas before deciding)

My former favorite is this fanless board:
MITAC PD11EHI-J6413 MINI-ITX
Con:

• I realised that the second M.2 slot does not supports M key SSDs but I planned to run the OS on an NVME... and since there is no PCIe the singel M.2 slot with M Key support is the only way to upgrade to 4 sata slots.

My actual favorite (but more expensive) choice seems to be:
MITAC PD10EHI-N6415
Con:

• price (not so much of problem)

ECC compatibility feels unnecessary.

Is there anything that I have forgotten? Any better choices from european vendors? Ordering from america is not an option because it would take forever to arrive and the process to get it from the zoll is time consuming and would put taxes on top.

Thanks in advance 😊

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place, but I will give it a try.

I would like to provide my needs but since I am not sure about it, it serms a bit difficult.

• Transcoding with jellyfin would be nice
• having my own cloud storage is a long term aim
• joplin server

• low power usage and low noise are two criteria i would consider important since the energy prices only know one direction where I life

At the moment my favorite is this fanless board: https://www.minipc.de/catalog/il/2942

I would upgrade it with a pci card to get more sata slots or with a m.2 card which would do the same thing.

ECC compatibility feels unnecessary.

Is there anything that I forgott? Any better choices from european vendors? Ordering from america is not an option because it would take forever to arrive and the process to get it from the zoll is time consuming and would put taxes on top.

Thanks in advance 😊

Edit: I just realised that M.2 M key SSDs are not supported by the slot... This reduces the options to chose from
