I use [Plasma Wallpapers Dynamic](https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic) . Instead though I set it up where it changes some scene every few hours to match daylight conditions, but you could accomplish exactly what you are asking – you just have to provide the actual wallpaper file for each hue and then specify what time for when you build the background

I think you can if you layer them, right? I run bazzite on one if my machines and I had to do that for something I wanted. Should keep it to a minimum but since this a key piece of your workflow it should be okay

I haven’t really had to run a VM for anything but I think Qemu is the main program used by most people for running VMs.

There is also this project I was going to experiment with but I never got around to it. Maybe you could give it a go https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps

I am staying with FF until Orion is useable on linux. They just started development

Got it up and running on a Debian distrobox… now I need to figure out how to train it. Will be my first steps into this type of thing – so prob will take me a bit to figure out how it all works

They are porting to Linux was just announced not long ago... however dont know how long that will take. I am just gonna keep using FF until I can try Orion.

Using a firefox derivative I dont think is a good option as it will always be behind on security updates.... I guess I am going to wait until the Orion Beta / software comes to Linux which was announced recently. Orion is a WebKit based browser that is on iphone / mac

SPAXX on fidelity is pretty easy to get into. Just open a Fidelity account and xfer your money there. During high interest it was getting 5% now its about 4% I think. You get paid out every month.

To invest I think it makes more sense if you are holding for 5 years minimum

Installed mine and got it all set up today after my Fedora 41 install nuked itself for no reason! At the end of the day I just want to play games and not have to mess with anything

I had one of the initial batches and the hinge was too weak. They came out with stronger ones that are much better which I now have. It was cheap and easy to replace

Acestream on Steamdeck (self.steamdeckpirates)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by rando to c/[email protected]
 

Hi guys,

I had looked everywhere to find a guide to get Acestream on the Steamdeck or even Linux and really didn't find anything good. So with the wonders of wine I have a relatively easy way to run Acestream on the Steamdeck.

  1. Download the Acestream stable Windows installer from their site.
  2. Download Lutris if you do not already have it.
  3. In lutris hit the plus sign and select 'Install a Windows game from executable' and install from the Acestream installer you downloaded.
  4. Here it will actually install acestream but once you hit finish after the installation, Lutris will just stall out. This is fine just hit 'Abort' and uncheck 'Remove game files' to keep all the files it just installed. Then hit Yes to cancel installation
  5. Now in Lutris hit the plus sign again but this time select 'Add locally installed game' and use the following settings
  6. Next will be the game options tab, you will need to find where your lutris games get installed at. From there in the acestream folder the acestream player executable is found in acestream/drive_c/users//AppData/Roaming/ACEStream/player/ace_player.exe
  7. I also set the working directory to whatever folder your lutris acestream folder is installed
  8. Last go to the 'Runner options' tab and I found System wine worked the best. GE and others seem to have audio issues.
  9. Hit save then you should be good to go to run it.

I tried to get this working in gamemode and it does not work unfortunately. I just run it in desktop mode and it works perfectly fine.

You could also pretty much do the same thing in bottles or wine if you prefer it.

Happy streaming!
