^5 Unexpected Keyboard!! <3 it

It's part of the never ending death march of every decent Google product.

First it's a name change, then they'll tweak a core functionality so it's really really helpful, then they'll either kill it immediately or move it into another package (thus fracturing older apps and devices from the functionality completely), then they pay wall it or kill it abruptly.

Found you via the other site, stumbled across this post over here.

Where is a central location to report feedback and bugs?

I've got 3 devices running it now, A10 Moto G7power, A11/oos11 OnePlus N10, A12/oos12 OnePlus N20. Things aren't identical between them... Like status bar text color... Dark mode affecting labels...

And I bumped my screen size to show more stuff, and the launcher appears to have totally reset itself. Widget stacks gone. All home screen items gone. And dock resized icons and amount shown... But at least it kept my icons on it.

I'm very happy to see this launcher see the light of day...

I have no idea what issues you are already aware of.

Happy to help, just tell me how.

As a young tech trying to get started, Knoppix live CD enabled me to clean viruses and recover data for clients.

After years of using it as a specific tool, I decided to daily drive it when an older machine stopped accepting Windows Updates.

I still run Windows on my big rig, but Debian on everything Else.

With your information, and realizing I still have made virtually no progress...

Ugh. This is ridiculous. I was aware Apple did shiesty stuff, but never heard of anyone else.

The difference is staggering, and I have to believe something similar has happened.

This laptop was previously my test bed for Linux itself. Old Faithful, if you know what I mean. Got me confident enough to actually use Linux. Compile stuff. Tinker. 🥰

Got me to acquire another, newer laptop for Linux. Confidence, even if only a drop.

Thank you for replying and sharing. I can't think of anything else being the issue.

I dunno...

But I switched to proton 6.x and dx10 and now it's running, even if it crashes trying to change the settings.

Now I've got to figure out installing mods for single player... Using flatpak...

Just can't change any of the graphic settings without it crashing.

Running at 1280x720 at 60fps

All lowest settings though. Good enough.

I keep reading that anything below the 2000 series has severe Vulkan limitations... I'm wondering if Windows would perform better? Playable?

I've got no clue about video cards, let alone on Linux. I just know I prefer my Debian devices, and this is my first foray into Nvidia and Linux.

Edit: and I assume an MX250 is a 2000 series. Which makes the cut for Vulkan support fwir

It identifies and loads up the interface.

One process, Xorg @ 4MiB

I've got the right click to use card menu, and use that to force flatpak Steam to use it. Then I confirm in game it is selected.

It feels like a huge step down from Intel gfx on an older laptop running Windows...

SuperDisk™? 😏
