I watched the German dub of Frieren (I don’t speak German) and Lügner had a pretty sexy voice imo.

Yes, every video you download or stream is actually compressed quite a lot, the bitrate just determines how much compression is applied. Higher bitrate means the file is bigger and less compression is done, while low bitrate means the video has a lot less bits to store all that data and so has to do more compression.
Croc, although it’s command-line only.
Syncthing is also great but may not be what you’re looking for.
There’s lots of FOSS music players, but none of them have a volume slider / preamp. The Android volume slider is always either too loud or quiet so I have to make fine adjustments using the preamp in JetAudio. If someone could add that to an existing music player that’d be cool.
Not a mood tracking app, but I’ve been using Loop Habit Tracker for like the past two years and quite like it.
I use Geddit occasionally, I don’t know if it supports voting or commenting though since I just browse.
Gamescope generally helps with alt+tab issues.
How is Backpack Hero by the way? I played the demo years ago and liked it but haven’t bought the actual game yet.
Sounds kinda like NixOS, although that’s not platform-agnostic.
Thanks! I managed to get it working in some games and it seems to output HDR. Sadly it doesn’t seem to support fractional scaling (at least with two monitors), and since I use 175% scale that messes it up. Gamescope seems to work pretty well though, both for HDR and for fractional scaling.
How do you run games using Wine Wayland? I tried using the registry edit with Proton-TKG as well as system wine but I haven’t gotten it working yet.
You can also run the game at 1080p and use FSR to upscale it to native resolution, that’s what I often do on my 4k monitor.
Are you using native Wine Wayland for HDR? I’d been using Gamescope but I’ve been having some issues with it recently.
Edit: Turns out the issue was using -F fsr, for some reason that messed stuff up I think
My current MPV config is here (in the NixOS syntax but it should be understandable). The profile is what applies the SDR->HDR effect, only if the video is in SDR.
I have target-peak set to 550 nits which seems okay, but I have control + scroll wheel bound to turn it up and down. If you go to 200 or below it seems to disable the effect, which is good for 2D animated content. EDIT: even with inverse-tone-mapping disabled this still messes up the image. You need to actually disable the inverse-tone-mapping and then set target peak to either auto or something above 200 in order to actually disable it. You can check with --tone-mapping-visualize.
I also generally turn the saturation up to like 15 or 30 or something since it can look washed out. Gamma looks best at 0 generally, but in dark scenes to combat blooming I might turn it up to like 5 or 10. I haven’t messed too much with the tone mapping curve but I’m using what the documentation says is recommended so it seems good.
I have a Mini-LED HDR monitor (Acer XV275K P3) and it looks great. It gets super bright with black blacks. I didn’t want to risk burn-in, it covers the full 1000 nits that most HDR content expects, and it was only $550 which was quite a steal. There’s occasionally a little blooming in dark scenes in movies, but in games it never gets that dark and there’s mostly very bright things instead.
I have HDR working on Plasma 6 with an AMD gpu on NixOS, although recently Gamescope/Steam has been a bit bugged. MPV still plays movies perfectly though. I even set up inverse tone mapping so SDR videos get converted into HDR, which looks a bit better than normal SDR imo.
There’s browser extensions for it
On the other hand, when I turn off my second monitor (on HDMI), all my apps stay on that screen, meaning I have to manually move them over to my main monitor where I can actually see them.
And if my DisplayPort monitor is off and everything’s on my second monitor, when I turn the main one back on all the windows go back to where they used to be (al least on Plasma Wayland).
I would avoid Razer mice, I got two Mamba Elites and both of their mouse wheels are broken/bugged (if you scroll in one direction it scrolls back and forth, or scrolls twice when you want to scroll once). My sister got a Deathadder Elite and its mouse wheel is completely broken.
I picked up an Anker vertical mouse for like $12 from a used PC parts store and it’s been working just as well in my opinion, pretty comfortable and still has a working scroll wheel.
Of course you could also buy a drawing tablet and set it to mouse/relative mode and play with that, which I did for a while, but the lack of a scroll wheel stops you from playing some games.
In the developer settings I set all the animations to twice as fast (half as long) so they feel snappier.
Bro do not get a Razer mouse, I have two Mamba Elites and both their scroll wheels keep jumping up and down when you scroll. My sister’s Deathadder Elite’s scroll wheel is completely broken and doesn’t work.
Wikipedia has a list, it may not have every single one but it should have most of them.
