Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    You should just add FREETYPE_PROPERTIES="cff:no-stem-darkening=0 autofitter:no-stem-darkening=0" as an environment variable, and use wayland

    What does that do?

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    The environment variable enables stem darkening(a font rendering technique), and wayland is noticeably better at scaling

    Everytime I think I know something about linux someone else comes along and starts speaking magic.

    If youre not on debian stable and kde.

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Why?

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Its a dumpsterfire. Wayland bugs out every time I (and others) unlock the screen and displays no fonts or giant fonts or whatever. After asking on linux.org and other places, the answer was "do not use wayland on debian stable + kde yet, its not ready".

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    „Debian stable” -- Unstable don't use it

    [–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 3 points 7 months ago

    Something like that, yes. Especially on nvidia I think.
