Games (for example a Minecraft mod or Warthunder web login) have links to click that would open an external browser or Steam browser files to open file manager. For some reason clicking these links does nothing (i.e steam “browse file” opens no file explorer and a GitHub link in game also does nothing).

Has anyone ran into these issues before? Not sure what the solution would be? I was thinking mimetypes, but I’m pretty sure I’ve got that configured correctly. If it would help to post mimetypes or if that seems like the issue, I can post the file in comments. Any help appreciated!

Coworker said he’s thinking of selling his desktop (linked above) because he barely uses it since he has a laptop, and said he paid around 1400 for this prebuilt. Given that he’s already used it (not extensively I assume) and it’s been at least 2 years since he’s had it, what should I offer for these specs? I was thinking of maybe offering 1k-1.2k. Any suggestions??

Hey yall,

So I’ve been looking around for a mic to upgrade from my Blue Snowball Ice (have had it for 5+ years). I want to start streaming, making some content on yt, and down the road record some small vocal clips for when producing for EDM genres. YT would be talking over gameplays or just recording my desktop for showing off workflows/ things I do, streaming would be relatively the same content.

My room is untreated, I’ve never had any experience with XLR/interfaces, and my budget is around 150$ max (including getting an arm/stand). So far the mics I’ve seen around my budget are:

AM8 / K688
Samson 2QU

Any recommendations besides these will also be helpful and welcomed greatly! Currently going based off Microcenter pricing since I have one nearby me.

So I've updated Niri to v26.04, and was looking at the release notes, specifically the Noctalia section. I went to the Noctalia docs per the release notes and integrating, and tried to copy/paste the section from Noctalia Docs into my "rules.kdl" file and for some reason when I save the file it tells me to run 'niri validate'. The weird thing is when I run 'niri validate', I get an output saying my config is valid?

If anyone is using Noctalia and Niri with getting blur to work, I'd highly appreciate any tips or notes on my config to tweak to make it work. Below is my 'config.kdl' along with my 'rules.kdl'.

config.kdl

include "./cfg/autostart.kdl"
include "./cfg/keybinds.kdl"
include "./cfg/input.kdl"
include "./cfg/monitors.kdl"
include "./cfg/layout.kdl"
include "./cfg/rules.kdl"
include "./cfg/misc.kdl"
include "./noctalia.kdl"
include "./animations/default.kdl"

'rules.kdl' (before trying to add blur per Noctalia Docs)

window-rule {
    geometry-corner-radius 20 // Set every window radius to 20
    clip-to-geometry true
}

layer-rule {
    match namespace="^noctalia-wallpaper*"
    place-within-backdrop true
}

'rules.kdl' using Noctalia Docs that gives the 'niri validate' error even when niri validates says the config is valid

window-rule {
    geometry-corner-radius 20 // Set every window radius to 20
    clip-to-geometry true
}

layer-rule {
    match namespace="^noctalia-wallpaper*"
    place-within-backdrop true
}

/* Apps: blur them all without xray for a better look */
window-rule {
  background-effect {
    blur true
    xray false
  }
}

/* Noctalia: blur everywhere without xray for a better look */
layer-rule {
  match namespace="^noctalia-(background|launcher-overlay|dock)-.*$"
  background-effect {
    xray false
  }
}

blur {
  passes 2        // more passes = stronger blur (default: 3)
  offset 3.0      // sample distance per pass (default: 3.0)
  noise 0.03      // grain overlay (default: 0.02)
  saturation 1.0  // color saturation boost (default: 1.5)
}
