If you want to use gamescope you must make sure of the following things (as of writing):

1. you installed gamescope from Flathub and its runtime version is the same as the one used by Steam (can be done and checked with the “Warehouse” app). At this moment Steam uses 25.08
2. for games that use Proton you MUST install Proton-GE as a Steam flatpak Add-on (from your App Store) and then enable it in Steam under Settings -> Compatibility -> select the one with “(flatpak)” or under a game’s Properties window. Otherwise, gamescope will have swapchain errors or crash. Even the builtin Proton versions don’t work as it stands. (upstream issue)

Gamescope can than be used as a launch option.

An Example: Running “Road to Vostok” at a lower resolution (because it doesn’t have a setting for that inside of the game sadly, and my hidpi laptop can’t really run it too comfortably at native res) + MangoHud(installed as flatpak):

LD_PRELOAD= gamescope -f -W 1920 -H 1200 --mangoapp -- env LD_PRELOAD=“$LD_PRELOAD” %command%

Keep in mind some flags are not working on wayland like -o (allows changing refresh-rate if the game is unfocused) (ref)

edit: seems like there’s also a bug with fps lagging after ~20mins or so, which can be mitigated with prepending LD_PRELOAD=“” to the launch command + adding env LD_PRELOAD="$LD_PRELOAD" before %command% (upstream issue)

Hello, I created this restyle for inkscape, if you like it you can get it on the gitlab page:

https://gitlab.com/sxwpb/ink-sx-ui

If you find issues you could report them on gitlab so I know about them.

https://gitlab.com/sxwpb/minimal-tux-icons

These are only meant to help for cases where the full tux is too detailed to display, see examples in the linked README. But the shape also works well for single fill cases, like in the keychain example. I wouldn't want these to be used when the full tux could be displayed in all its glory instead.

~~One issue I have is I do not know how to license these properly, I wouldn't want them to show up in a trademarked logo or anything, but I would still want them to be freely usable as tux icons anywhere. What do you think?~~

I have chosen the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, thank you for helping me!

Hello all, as someone who mainly prefers dark themes but also enjoys black text, I created this semi-light neovim color scheme. https://gitlab.com/sxwpb/halfspace.nvim

The goal was having a theme that uses black text but avoids the eye melting of most light themes. In fact the background color is #808080, which is the midpoint of a monitors brightness. Using such a background comes at a hefty cost of text contrast, thus all chosen syntax colors are kept pretty close to the best possible contrast here which is black text.

Let me know what you think and I know lots of people absolutely despise this type of color combination which I understand, so please be kind in that case.

happy vimming
