For whatever reason the arguments got additional quotation marks 'run --branch=stable' which messed up the command… deleting the quotation marks runs fine now. Weird… probably a bug from KDE when I tried to add the other options. Well thanks, now it runs with the original shortcut again. Thanks for the screenshot, helped me seeing the issue instantly.
I don’t know why, but the shortcut in the “Start” menu of KDE does not longer start FreeTube… Its Command-line arguments is 'run --branch=stable' --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/run.sh --file-forwarding io.freetubeapp.FreeTube @@u %u @@ . I have uninstalled FreeTube, deleted the shortcut so it is created from scratch and still does not start. It only starts from either commandline with regular flatpak command, or when I create a new shortcut with the arguments run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
I think I found it. Didn’t bother to look this up until your post and can confirm by default the “Media” is not utilized. Looking into a bug report about exactly that from Feb, 2025 (a year ago from now) https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6786 the developer says a set of flags is needed to pass in and a user suggests following: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6786#issuecomment-2832299878
flatpak run io.freetubeapp.FreeTube --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs
I can confirm this will use some “Media” activity. But comparing (unscientifically) the GPU and GFX in fdinfo, the utilization doesn’t seem too different. So overall I am not sure if that is actually hardware acceleration. Also make sure FreeTube has permission for “GPU acceleration” under “Device” set with Flatseal.
Just checked it, didn’t play since Sep, 2024… I will install it this weekend and check out what game mode that may be.
Fun fact: Game requires 33.33 GB space… Half-Life 3 confirmed?
It’s essentially a MOBA with first person hero shooter elements. The MOBA part didn’t speak to me, but I really really want to like this game.
The immutable part is only for the main system. You can run any application, in example with a user script to install and setup everything in home directory. Or AppImage off course.
I hope they discover Flatpak and support that, instead only one platform.
KDE is more than just a ui, its the set of preinstalled applications that plays a huge role. Kubuntu and Ubuntu feels like two different operating systems.
pre-order isn’t in development phase usually. Isn’t the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.
If we can’t play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don’t know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.
Looks just like Horizon 5. :D But in Japan setting off course, which is very interesting to me. Its one of the few Microsoft IPs that do well in recent history.
Even though I barely ever connect controllers to my Steam Deck (I love a portable!) it’s nice to have the option to do so
It’s not just the option to have alternative controllers. But also needed if you want to play local multiplayer or anything in docked mode.
Not all CEOs are equally good or bad. Some help the company to be better, others are better at ruining it. Replaceable does not mean that ANYONE can do the job. You completely ignored my point.
I’m not talking about the development, but specifically the reception of the first trailer.
Wow. That’s quite a small galaxy brain move. Well there is only one thing I can think of why they did it with Battlefield, so the player base is “forced” to play any newer version that is currently supported. In case of Anthem, it makes no sense to me, because there is no replacement. Usually companies go after games and services like these, if they offer an alternative to sell.
This would collapse the company instantly. They need to make sure a good followup is available. Because most are not and are even worse, either through greed or incompetence. And yes, it could be way worse than current leaders. Because if it was that easy to just fire them and replace them randomly with anyone and hope it does better, I am sure every company did that.
A news article about this release at Phoronix, as the original announcement is a bit light on any information: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mesa-26.0-rc1-Released
Could someone explain what is happening here? Does Firefox have a builtin protection against DDOS specifically for Archive.ph? And why does it have it, why this specific site? Is there a protection for other sites too? I’m a bit confused here why Firefox itself would DDOS the site.
It would be so funny if EA shuts the mod down, of a game they stop selling and want to shut down. This would be peak AAA gaming company behavior in 2026.
I don’t know how to do a screenshot of the entire window that scrolls outside the view… i know skill issues. :D Well in Flatseal some relevant settings are X11 windowing system = ON, Wayland windowing system = OFF, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
xlsclientsreturns “freetube”Unfortunately if I enable Wayland (just reverse ON / OFF X11 and Wayland setting in Flatseal), the Media activity is unused. Following settings and results are…
X11 windowing system = OFF, Wayland windowing system = ON, Fallback to X11 windowing system = OFF. GPU acceleration = ON:
