Wish they were more widespread. Closest to me is... 800 miles away? Was nice when I was near one.

I always use isthereanydeal before buying anything, and that'll list gog on there was well. Good practice for getting a deal and buying drm free

The article disagrees, but idk what staffing numbers are right

Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I'm still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?

While I have you here too, I've just found one more bug that's been bothering me... In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won't select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It's kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn't really bring up anything conclusive. Here's a clip to see what I'm talking about. Thank you again!

I'm in KDE 6.3.4, but I think maybe just the flatpak version I have was bad? Using the executable from mozilla themselves doesn't seem to replicate the issue...

Thanks for helping!

~~I'm on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it's using wayland as well. I'm using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.~~

~~I really can't peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I've only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that...~~

Ok, I'm not sure why I didn't try this, but I downloaded just the linux ...exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What's the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?

Thanks for the response, no dice though.

EDIT

So anything I said below was all a lie, it turns out that the issue was kde and my monitors, which are 240hz. I swapped to gnome and the issue disappeared, and then I installed bazzite kde on a second drive and the issue reappeared. Setting my refresh rate to 120hz stopped the flickering and upon setting it back to 240hz I do notice an appreciable decrease in artifacting. I have no idea what to do with this information, but if anyone is experiencing this try just decreasing your refresh rate for your monitors.


Howdy,

Just installed Nobara again and am trying to figure out why this is happening. I think it's a firefox thing since I haven't seen it happen in any other application; basically anytime I do a lot of scrolling, the firefox window breaks down and I can see my desktop background behind it. It always happens in the bottom right cornerish part of the window. I'm up to date on all updates as far as I'm aware. I did some googling and checking out the nobara discord but I couldn't find anything related. I tried recording my screen via spectacle to show the issue, but it wouldn't capture the issue.

Any help would be appreciated; I am a linux beginner so dumbing down any info you have would be nice. Thanks!

Probably because this post was submitted 9 hours before.

Anyone able to complete bookworm adventures on a modern PC? I tried replaying it a few years back but it crashed nonstop on the third map or something I think. Could never progress past that. Bookworm adventure and plants vs zombies were probably some of my favorite games growing up, such a blast.

A lot of my friends just won't play "old" games. If the graphics don't look somewhat modern, they physically cannot bring themselves to touch it. I showed my girlfriend system shock 2 and she audibly laughed at me wondering how I could stand it. Another friend refunded vampire the masquerade because he could not get over how old the game looks.

So yeah I think unfortunately they're a necessary evil for people to get in touch with some of these older classics.

 

Hey, Henry's come to see us!

 

Pretty surprised, I was kind of expecting it to slip past its supposed spring release just due to its enormous success. Excited to play drm-free, especially after all of the rave reviews.
