Looking to replace the scratchy switches on my womier, any recommendations?

Jump

  • I don't have huge personal experience with gateron, but yes they do have a good reputation and I think they might be another good option.

    Honestly if your womier switches are as bad as mine, anything will be a huge improvement.

  • I have a Womier SK75, it came with mint blizzard switches I believe. Incredibly scratchy, absolutely unusable.

    I swapped mine with Akko Rosewoods, they are so much better. I can recommend any Akko switch, depending on your preference, as they are generally pretty good and usually easily attainable (you can usually find them on amazon).

    Another Akko switch I tried is the Botany: similar feel to the rosewood, a bit crispier and clackier compared to the almost soft feel of the Rosewoods.

  • I've got amd gpus close to launch twice, first with a 5700xt then with a 7800xt. Early days are always a bit problematic, that's the early adopter tax. With a bit of patience these issues will be solved. In the meantime, use the mainline kernel and mesa-git.

    • This may be a dumb question but I've never really gamed on linux until I got my Deck, can you just play minecraft now on linux no issue?

    Jump

  • Yes, you can just play minecraft on linux, you could always do that. I suggest Prism Launcher as it's better than the default launcher

  • Oh I definitely am out of touch, but I think I'll live with that 😄

    • Can someone ELI5 why some apps need to support X11/wayland?

    Jump

  • The application needs to speak a protocol to be able to use it. If you use a X wm your apps need to be able to talk X's protocol to work, if you use a Wayland compositor your apps need to be able to talk Wayland's protocol (or run on Xwayland, which is basically an X server that runs inside Wayland).

    The wm/compositor abstractions only work if your apps know how to use them via the correct protocol

    • Does this (part about Steam play) mean that steam didn't install the native Linux version?

    Jump

  • no, it just uses a flatpak like runtime (steam linux runtime) to make sure all dependencies are met, you're running it natively

    • Borders for LibreOffice Draw like in MS Publisher

    Jump

  • Sorry if it's not a direct answer, but I can suggest you try inkscape instead. Of course it's a much more powerful program, and that comes with it being possibly a bit harder to grasp and definitely different from publisher, but it should be very easy for a beginner to make a simple birthday card collage.

    • ZeroVer: Cutting-edge software versioning for minimalists

    Jump

  • To be completely serious for a moment, conventional commit + what-bump is really useful for doing semver

    • What's the state of Titanfall 2 multiplayer on linux

    Jump

  • Since it's been revived me and my brother have been playing it a lot, last game we played was yesterday. Flawless experience, and really fun game!

    Might be worth mentioning, I'm playing it from steam with proton, he's playing from the EA app with bottles.
