Rolling releases

Yep, this phrase is now broken for me. It's all just turds rolling down hills from here on out. Thanks for that

I'm unable to participate in this one (my rig is all taken apart) but for the next one a rally stage challenge might be cool if people are up for it.

Nice, honestly this sounds like the perfect use case for Gadgetbridge which is a much newer and actively developed tool in addition to not requiring network access. But your solution works fine and I'm sure it's less work if it's what you were already doing anyway rather than migrating to a new app. Glad it's working for you.

I find the steam deck (albeit with a tiny amount of Linux tinkering skills) to be amazing at playing really old games. For example I got Need for Speed Underground 2 working on it which is max nostalgia for me personally. I used to play a lot of FPSs too, quake3 era and later, and basically all of those work great too, though not something that is particularly good on a controller. The author might find that getting the nostalgic titles working for them is rewarding as well.

Probably? Though I have no experience with the rebble app. I don't think any of it's features like searching for apps, weather, etc will work properly and some android apps really misbehave when you take away permissions that they expect to have. Try it and let us know! =]

This is what I currently use with my pebbles. I've never used the pebble app, I just started with the FOSS option and stuck with it. Their wiki is really good https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Pebble

EDIT: To answer the actual question from this angle, gadgetbridge is surprisingly security focused even though that's not really it's main goal. The developers do not allow it to make outbound connections and do not allow the watches it supports to make connections either (except where this is impossible to prevent, say if they can make their own network connections) which is why it doesn't support in-app weather.

Huh, I didn't realize that about CM and Topre. I like it a lot honestly which is why I put all this time into cleaning all the old stuff off. Thanks for the input!

Ended up going with the 205g0 for everything. 3204 didn't feel very good and started separating before I could even get it on the switches.

What display manager do you use? There's a very very short list of ones that support wayland sessions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wayland#Display_managers . And some of those don't display themselves using wayland, they can only launch sessions.

Thanks for posting these!

Does anyone know why notifications don't seem to work on the forum for announcements? I feel like this configuration should get me an email whenever a new version is posted but it doesn't seem to work:

EDIT: I changed For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me: to "instantly" instead of only for the first reply. Maybe that will help.

Probably? Honestly I just read the sections of the docs that were relevant to what I needed and clicked buttons until things worked. Tutorials are dangerous because the moment they are published they are out of date, unless the author goes back and updates it regularly which is pretty rare, or impossible if it's something like a youtube video.

Anyway it's a GUI application with lots of tool tips and all that, it's not difficult to use.

Bottles (https://usebottles.com/) is what you're looking for, sandboxing is one of it's primary features. It can use lutris prefixes too if you need them.

EDIT: It's only sandboxed if you use the flatpak, just FYI.
