 K900 | That's called a screensaver | 09:01:29 |
| K900 | We had those back in CRT days | 09:01:34 |
| simple-coder | Oh cool, is a screen saver easy to setup in NixOS? The setup that I'm trying to do is very specific. | 09:03:44 |
| simple-coder | Also I'm on gnome and gdm. | 09:04:51 |
| K900 | It should just be in the GNOME settings? | 09:05:09 |
| K900 | I'm assuming | 09:05:10 |
| simple-coder | https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.05&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=wallpaper | 09:05:28 |
| simple-coder | I'll do some more research on the gnome settings. | 09:05:49 |
| K900 | But also like | 09:07:13 |
| K900 | Most OLED displays have built-in burn-in compensation these days | 09:07:26 |
| K900 | So it's probably a non-issue in the first place | 09:07:34 |
| K900 | (also good luck getting good font rendering on that, especially on Windows) | 09:07:47 |
| simple-coder | Yeah, like I said in that Reddit post Samsung comes with burn in protection out of the box and there's a couple other settings to further prevent burn in, but these QD OLEDs are designed for media consumption and gaming not for workloads with static elements. So I want to setup a good screen saver of randomly shuffling wallpapers just to be sure I don't get burn in. I think on Windows there's Mac like font that looks really nice but I haven't checked if it's supported as well. | 09:12:19 |

| simple-coder | This looks good, I just to use Nix to wrap around these Linux tooling commands on the GitHub page. | 09:13:53 |
| K900 | The "Mac like font" thing is just FreeType but that's really not the problem | 09:13:57 |
| K900 | The problem is that Windows doesn't understand weird subpixel layouts | 09:14:05 |
| K900 | Also that link seems to be for your desktop wallpaper | 09:14:22 |
| K900 | Not a screensaver | 09:14:25 |
| simple-coder | Oh that sucks. | 09:14:44 |
| K900 | But if you want a screensaver and you want to configure it with Nix, there's probably some dconf knob you can set with HM? | 09:14:44 |
| K900 | I don't use GNOME so I don't know | 09:14:57 |
| K900 | But most of their settings are in dconf | 09:15:02 |
| K900 | So I assume these would be too | 09:15:05 |
| simple-coder | Uh don't know I'll look into it. | 09:15:14 |
| simple-coder | Emacs or Vscode can't be setup to make the font look good on this monitor? | 09:16:03 |
| simple-coder | K900 (drm/amd#1417 when): And can these wallpapers from this omglinux link be used in the screen saver as well? | 09:17:40 |
| simple-coder | I don't care if the system or browser fonts look bad, I just care about the development environment font. | 09:19:12 |
