Hey,

I currently have two monitors with the same specs, but I usually use the one on the left for playing and the one on the right for checking guides. I don't always use the right-hand monitor; sometimes it just sits there switched on, but I don't use it.

Is there a way to lock or dim my secondary screen when it's not in use, so that I don't have to turn it off manually? Ideally, if my cursor is focused on the left monitor and the right monitor hasn't received any input for a while, it would turn off or display an image.

Thank you.

I have an 180Hz monitor, and in my Hyprland config file, I have the monitor set to "auto," which works as expected. The problem is that "auto" mode doesn't seem to be as automatic as I hoped. What I want is for my monitor to run at 60Hz while I'm on the desktop, but for it to automatically switch to a higher refresh rate when playing games at more than 60FPS.

However, this doesn’t seem to happen. If my monitor is set to "auto" and a game runs at more than 60FPS, the monitor stays at 60Hz. For example, if the game is running at 180FPS, I want the monitor to match that refresh rate. The only solution I’ve found so far is to manually change my Hyprland configuration files to set my monitor to 180Hz. However, I don’t want to have to make these manual changes every time I want to play a game. Is there a way to make this process automatic? And yes, I can set my monitor to run globally at 180Hz in my Hyprland config files, but that feels a bit unnecessary.

While playing and someone is using their microphone to talk, my own headphones quality drops at the point that my game sounds like someone is talking through a tunnel, and I didn't even using my own mic, I'm just listening to their mic through some game channel or platform.

Another example is while I'm on some Teams meeting, my overall audio goes to shit even if I'm just listening...

I have read some older posts on Reddit that says that this happens because Bluetooth headphones with included mic cannot handle well both communications and they have to lower all the audio in order to keep the stability, but there's really no another way to fix this other than buying wired headphones or using an external mic? It sounds dumb to me, I just don't want to use my mic, why in the first place is my own PC/Headphone deciding when lower quality just because someone else is chatting through their mic?

Edit: I'm using Sennheiser Accentum Plus

Basically what title says, I have a 7800XT and an 7950X3D and in games like Borderlands 2 can I barely overcome the 60FPS (with max settings and 1440p), I have tried gamescope and gamemode but to be honest something doesn't feels right, I have the feeling that Hyprland (Or the OS) is not taking full adventage of my GPU and CPU, since I been watching gameplays of the games I play using my same setup and they have better framerates than me. And something interesting is that even if my FPS are locked to 30, I have constant stutters and my GPU is between 80% and 100% even in the lobby, and this happen specifically in Hyprland, and another interesting thing is that my CPU is always between 85 C and 90 C, when its at just 40% of usage, and this again is specific of Hyprland.

Any idea? I have already experienced something like this when I used Nvidia + Wayland in the past, but I'm now in AMD + Wayland.

I am currently on ArcoLinux with the latest zen kernel, but I have used the same setup on distros like Garuda with i3 and indeed I have better performance, but I know is not that simple.

I have two monitors with different resolutions and aspect ratios, my main monitor is on the left and it's a 2560x1440 (27") monitor and the other one is on the right and it's a 1920x1080 (24") monitor.

The problem I'm facing is that when I move my cursor between the displays it makes a kind of 'jump' between them, for example if I move my cursor between my left monitor to my right monitor, once it enters the second monitor its position is not the same as the position from my main monitor, and I understand that this is something that makes sense since they have different aspect ratios and resolutions, but I don't want this behavior.

I have already played with my hyprland.conf but still don't understand how this works, at the moment of writing this I have just commented everything monitor related so hyprland just does it by itself but is not the best.

I recently migrated from Sway to Hyprland, and I can simply say that Hyprland is a marvel and is incredibly faster than Sway in my opinion.

The only problem I'm having right now is that in Borderlands 2 (Proton) when I put the mouse over any option in the game, it takes about 2 seconds to react in the game, for example, if I put the mouse over the “Settings” option the reaction of the game is not immediate, but it takes a moment, and the funny thing is that in the game as such I do not have that problem, only in the inventories and menus, I can play? Yes, but it is uncomfortable

I already tried changing the version of Proton, forcing the game to run through x11 using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%, putting the game in full screen mode or minimized, in no case fixes the problem, and is specific to Borderlands 2, I've played different games and this has not happened to me and did not happen inside Sway.

Another curious thing to mention is that Borderlands 2 as such does not recognize the resolution of my monitor, but only appears “unidentified” among the Borderlands options, although it is in 1080p.

Thank for any help in advance.

So I got a 180hz monitor and installed Sway (Garuda Linux) in my new machine, the only problem I have is that I can unlock my FPS for the PC as a whole using the display software that comes with Garuda, but not specifically for games or full screen programs. I don't want to use Firefox at 180hz, I just want my games to run at the maximum refresh rate my monitor can handle.

Thanks.

I used them when they were released a while ago for the nightly version of Firefox, and actually in the stable channel we are in Firefox 130 and still no vertical tabs, does anyone know an aproximate version when they will be available for the stable channel?

I have already Googled about this but didn't find a solution, maybe someone else here has experienced this too? And to add some more details, I use ArcoLinux and I had already toggle 'Close button should minimize Spotify Window'.

Thank you!

I have been investigating if there is a community dedicated to Photon (a great Lemmy front-end) that doesn't seem to have an exclusive option to search for communities, does anyone know if there is an exclusive community for Photon (or Lemmy front-ends in general)?

So I really want GrapheneOS but I also want to have my phone rooted to have some features (like Aurora/Droid-ify background updates) but I don't know if this is incompatible and searching it on Google showed some old posts and forum discussions.

I know and I understand that rooting my phone basically breaks the logic of using GrapheneOS, but I still want to do it, is it possible?

I mean "possible" because from what I understand, when you flash a custom rom you need to format your whole phone, but the same process when rooting your phone, so it's possible?

I really want to try Filen as my main cloud provider but my main brake point is that the app doesn't automatically upload my images in the background. I'm not sure if this is because I'm on the free plan or because of my device, has anyone had better luck with the automatic image upload in the background?
