 littlejohn (jcray) | hello everyone, is there a way to change the game install directory in steam on nixos? I'd like to install to a second disk but following the normal steam method yields an empty file picker. not sure if this is a file-picker issue or a steam environment one. | 19:05:54 |
 K900 | You might need an xdg-portal implementation | 19:06:28 |
| K900 | For the file picker | 19:06:32 |
| littlejohn (jcray) | thanks, that helps point me in the right direction! I should have a working xdg-portal implementation but I just migrated this setup from my laptop to my gaming pc so something may be wonky with the file picker | 19:09:24 |

You might need an xdg-portal implementation cheers, that was indeed the problem. I needed to enable the gtk xdg portal in addition to the exisiting hyprlang xdg portal on my system | 19:22:36 |
 Charles ⚡️ | i'd recommend using sway instead of hyprland because it's generally less janky | 20:24:03 |
| Charles ⚡️ | (among other reasons...) | 20:24:23 |
| Charles ⚡️ | like OBS breaks a lot on hyprland, it causes hyprland's portal to crash most of the time | 20:24:52 |
 @haysidney:matrix.org | Does sway have any global hotkeys yet? I only really use hyprland because I need push to talk and some hotkeys. | 20:26:05 |
| Charles ⚡️ | i think generally the way that's accomplished is by adding the keybinds to your sway config and then firing a command that tells the application what to do | 20:27:13 |
| Charles ⚡️ | i could be wrong though | 20:27:44 |
| @haysidney:matrix.org | All my friends use Discord and I'm not sure that approach works for it. Discord is kinda trash on linux sadly. | 20:28:13 |

I think wayland has global hotkey support now but you can count on discord getting it in 2038 at the earliest | 20:29:31 |
| Charles ⚡️ | https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/5564#issuecomment-779700966 this is actually brilliant, way more general | 20:29:45 |
| @haysidney:matrix.org | Ooooo | 20:29:54 |
| @haysidney:matrix.org | That's so hacky but I like it. | 20:30:05 |

| @haysidney:matrix.org | I might do a key-down mic mute key-up mic unmute sort of thing. I like that. I wonder if there's an easy one-liner way of doing that and making a sound so I'm confident that it's actually doing something. lol | 20:38:52 |

| Charles ⚡️ | i use notify-send for a few things instead of making a noise, just to give more ideas | 20:39:33 |
| Charles ⚡️ | (depending on your notifications daemon they might not appear over fullscreen games) | 20:40:01 |
| @haysidney:matrix.org | I don't have any notification daemon installed at the moment actually haha Notifications are annoying but I should probably just deal with it and mute apps that annoy me | 20:41:04 |
| Charles ⚡️ | reasonable tbh | 20:41:39 |

| littlejohn (jcray) | anyone know a solution for slow steam downloads? getting about 5% of my connection speed. Have faced this problem on other linux distros on the same machine and never managed to solve it (speeds are fine on windows). Connection speed is fine on agnostic speed tests, just seems to be steam affected. Have tried various filesystems. Seems like a known classic blunder on linux but wanted to check if anyone here has insight | 04:29:00 |
