Using Proton-EM in steam and heroic, I have been able to get native HDR (outside gamescope) working with DISPLAY=0 DXVK_HDR=1. Other wine/proton versions may work too as long as they support wayland. RDR2 crashes GNOME, Shadow Warrior 2 only allowed HDR with an NVIDIA GPU, but most of my other catalogue works :)

Seconding Bandcamp & Qobuz, or ripping CDs. I use fre:ac to get accurate FLACs.

Its Qobuz 😅

Uppa the 120 love our V6

A good Foobar alternative is Deadbeef music player, another one with modular design, replaygain, and lots more. Built on GTK

I purchased Boba U4Ts a few years ago as I’m a tactile enjoyer and they have a very satisfying and pronounced tactile bump! For something more readily available and arguably a bit better sounding, I believe Akko Cream Blues. Akko switches are very good value picks imo

Sober (flatpak) should work for Roblox :) it uses the Android version with some fixes, signing in was a little jank when I tried it but after that flawless!

Thanks for the writeup! I can heartily recommend Ente as an authenticator, works everywhere and never an issue. Pixels don’t quite suit my needs (though iPhones even less so) but Graphene’s focus on privacy and security is compelling. I’m hoping somebody develops a version of LineageOS for my Xperia, or assists me with doing it myself, as its one of the last big steps I need to take to de-google.

Another vote for Magic Earth, the other providers do not have addresses past street - level in my location. No complaints at all :)

Did you manually partition? It sounds like when you installed Nobara the /boot/efi partition got formatted, a similar thing happened to me recently (just wasnt paying attention), I used a Windows install USB to get a command prompt and restore the EFI entry.

Ocean’s Eleven 👀

Perhaps an Xperia 5 V? Depends on where you are, and just keep in mind no telephoto but it has a pixel-binned 2x (48mm) zoom :)

Who else wishes there was more semi-attractive PC cases with an 5.25" bay? I have ripped many CDs and Blurays with my optical drive
