how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.
Rotational hard drive prices are up, but not that far, not like RAM, especially if you’re not getting the largest drives possible.
That’s maybe a doubling on 12TB drives from the trough. I mean, sure, it’s significant, but if you were already talking about getting several, you can certainly get one.
I can’t tell you how to do it under Wayland off the cuff, but you can map a controller’s analog stick to act like a mouse. It’s a little clumsy, but that’ll let you use any mouse-oriented DE.
Some gamepads, like the PS5’s controller and I assume the Steam Controller, have touchpads built into the controller that work as pointing devices.
If you don’t specifically want only a gamepad, I’d probably use a trackball or touchpad and maybe keyboard, as a trackball can be used from a couch, lile a gamepad.
I don’t have a fix for you, but a note: I dunno what driver you’re using, but if it’s xpadneo, as of this 2022 issue:
https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/issues/374
…it sounds like even on Bluetooth, what’s being done is a limited-functionality version of what the pad supports. It sounds like the kernel API presently just supports emulating rumble functionality on the triggers, whereas the game controller apparently is capable of providing (more elaborate) force feedback, variable levels of resistance at various points as you depress the trigger.
If you’re using other mods at the same time, I’d try doing the binary search thing — turn them off, see if the problem goes away, if so, turn half of them off, see if the problem goes away, then of the problematic half, try turning half of that off, etc.

It sounds like Bethesda says that something similar can happen in their games if you have a 5.1 configuration with nothing hooked up to some of the speakers.
I vaguely recall some bug on very old versions of Proton, something with the sound subsystem, that caused speech to not show up in some Bethesda game, though I think it was a problem that showed up after a while, not always not present from the start of the game. Trying to deal with that was what initially got me to use Proton GE. I doubt that it’s what’s going on here, but you could try switching Proton versions.
I don’t have Fallout 4 installed at the moment, but Skyrim has separate volume sliders in the settings for voice and music, so I assume Fallout 4 does too. You might check that.
People who don’t like codeberg can just go somewhere else (even back to github) and/or found/support an alternative that better suits their needs.

https://gitgud.io/ provides free GitLab hosting for open source projects.
https://gitlab.com/ has a free tier for personal/open source stuff, though looks like it has a 5 user limit on said free tier.
Gitea can be self-hosted. It doesn’t look like they provide free hosting themselves, though, just paid. Apparently it’s considerably less resource-intensive to host than GitLab.
GNU Savannah is available if one is writing projects under a specific set of licenses (the GPL family).
https://linux-speakup.org/speakup.html
Speakup, originally written by Kirk Reiser and Andy Berdan, is a screen review package for the Linux operating system.
Speakup allows you to interact with applications and the GNU/Linux operating system with audible feedback from the console using a synthetic speech device.
Speakup is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
Speakup allows you to navigate around the screen using the typical screen review functions such as say word, say line, announce cursor position, which console your currently on, and much, much more. It also allows one to load in configuration parameters for controlling various aspects of the synthesizer you are using, as well as speakup itself.

Like, he literally managed to violate half of the community rules in one post.
My Linux distro already comes with a PDF merger. Let’s get some PDF files to merge.
$ for i in $(seq 1 5); do echo $i >$i.txt; pandoc -o $i.pdf $i.txt; done
Now I’ve got five PDF files to merge.
$ pdfunite *.pdf merged.pdf
And done.
Could be that Windows is more-aggressively kicking the hardware into low-power mode or that the graphical environment is using the hardware to do more desktop rendering stuff.
Secondly, I couldn’t even install qemu if I wanted to because it wasn’t in the apt repositories that shipped with Debian.
Debian has a non-free repo containing non-open-source software that it hasn’t historically enabled by default, but I don’t think that that’d apply to qemu. I’m pretty sure that’s all open-source.
goes looking.
qemu’s been in the Debian repos since…checks sarge, which was released as a stable release in 2005.
And it was in main, not non-free, so it should have been there as an out-of-the-box enabled repo:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20050312T000000Z/pool/main/q/qemu/
QEMU only came out in 2003.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU
QEMU is free software originally developed by Fabrice Bellard; the first preview release was in 2003.
It looks like it was packaged in Debian unstable since 2004, though I wouldn’t recommend jumping right on unstable to a new user.

A PS5 APU’s second life as a budget Linux gaming PC
Originally built for crypto mining, these cut-down PS5 APUs were headed for the scrap heap. Then Linux driver support arrived — and everything changed. Now they’re surprisingly capable mid-range gaming PCs with 16GB GDDR6 that double as local AI inference machines.

comment[12]: UNSYNCEDLYRICS=Beware the shadows of the drones
Destruction wrapped in pretty silicone
They’ve taken everyone I’ve known
And now I walk these empty streets alone
In my memory the past is fading
The future has been redesigned
It’s hard to focus on it when I’m running out of time
Surrounded by streetlights at midnight
My destination is unknown
I walk these empty streets alone
Digital dreams thrive in the moonlight
I’m only flesh, circuit and bone
I walk these empty streets alone
Beware the faces of the clones
Deception sent from Neo-Tokyo
They’ve erased everyone I’ve known
And still I walk these empty streets alone
I don’t know how widespread that is.

Hmm.
A lot of these are going to be just request-driven. That is, they aren’t really doing anything while idling. Thus, they don’t really need to be actually running.
If the idle memory usage is an actual concern — and honestly, the OS is probably just gonna page things out if the software is truly idle and it needs the memory for something else and it has paging space…I kind of assume that someone has built some sort of system that works like inetd, which avoided leaving non-containerized servers running. You register a port, and then inetd listens on it. When someone connects, it starts up the daemon in question (say, Apache or whatever). Just need to start a container on demand here. Maybe close it down after a long-enough period of inactivity.
