Discord crashes randomly and kills my polybar, sxhkd, forcing me to hard restart using PC power button

  • Could be drive failure, or maybe your package for discord is broken? I'd try discord flatpak even just as a troubleshooting step, but honestly that's the preferred way to install these kinds of applications anyway

    • Does it ever bother some of you that "I'm switching to Linux!" is just more of a way to appear rebellious than actually committing to the choice?

  • mind telling me what adapters you tried? I haven't faced this problem myself since I'm 100% DP, but if it does come up I'd like to know what's what

  • In case anyone is interested, the whole HDMI 2.1 fiasco can easily be worked around by using DisplayPort. Assuming your monitor doesn't have DisplayPort, you can buy an inexpensive active adapter that supports HDMI 2.1, where you have DP to your GPU and HDMI out to the monitor. This might sound undesirable but IIRC HDMI outs in intel gpus are actually going through adapters internally so it shouldn't really make a difference.

    EDIT: found the source for Intel GPUs using a built-in converter: https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/HDMI-2-1-UHD-144Hz-Arc-A750-A770/td-p/1452946

    • How do you deal with LUKS?

  • I literally set up encryption on a server with a usb drive a couple weekends ago, I did a writeup on my blog if you're interested

    • Valve's Next Headset Reportedly Enters Mass Production

  • Seems like your info is a bit out of date. VR works on wayland, and while steamvr is still pretty much crap, monado/wivrn work very well. You can check out https://lvra.gitlab.io/ for more info
