Original question by @WereCat@lemmy.world

Hi, so I will try to hopefully explain as best as I can.

These are my devices:

  • Windows PC -> Cable Headphone1 output
  • Linux Laptop -> BT Headphone2 output
  • Android Phone -> Phone speaker output

What I want to achieve:

Have audio from all devices output from Headphone1 on my PC without having to use physical or software mixer.

What I managed to get working but sux due to audio stutter or delay:

Have audio from all devices output from Headphone2

How?

  • Phone paired via BT to Windows PC, using app on Windows PC called Bluetooth Audio Receiver gives me the ability to listen to my phone audio via Headphone1 (does not work for Laptop)
  • Linux Laptop paired to my Windows PC as an audio device allows me to set the Laptop as a output audio device for the PC so I can listen to PC and thus to the Phone via Headphone2

BUT, this causes phone audio to stutter via Headphone2 and audio from PC has at least 500ms delay.

Wish there was a way to forward audio from Linux Laptop to Windows PC the same way as from Android Phone to PC.

Any clues?

A long time has passed since the last major release of the X.Org X11 Xserver. Even bugfix releases have become rare. Therefore, this Change proposes replacing the nearly unmaintained upstream with a maintained fork, the X11Libre XServer.

The upstream maintainer of X11Libre had been the most active remaining contributor to the X.Org X11 Xserver before the fork. The Change Owner is well aware of the controversies around the X11Libre upstream maintainer (FreeDesktop.org CoC violations, controversial political views, conspiracy theories, rants against Red Hat), but believes that the benefit of shipping maintained software outweighs the potential annoyances when having to deal with upstream.

There is no intent to ever replace the Xwayland implementation, only the standalone Xserver and its subpackages (Xnest, Xvfb, Xephyr), and possibly the driver packages (xorg-x11-drv-*).

Like title asks. I use the program for my writing in Microsoft Word, and wanted to know if Linux supports it, or Grammrmley? If not then what alternative are there for Linux?

I hope this place won't hug it too hard, it's on 61% battery as of writing. Has translations in fr, de, nl, es, it, pt

The average page size of this website is below 0.5 MB – roughly a sixth of the average page size of the original website

SERVER: This website runs on an Olimex A20 computer. It has 2 Ghz of processing power, 1 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of storage. The server draws 1 - 2.5 watts of power.

SERVER SOFTWARE: The webserver runs Armbian Stretch, a Debian based operating system built around the SUNXI kernel. We wrote technical documentation for configuring the webserver. [comfy's note: worth checking out]

DESIGN SOFTWARE: The website is built with Pelican, a static site generator.

I also like the dithering aesthetic with the site images, both practical and stylistic.

As October is coming, I want to advertise Linux to people before the end of service for windows 10.

Endof10 campaign guide does not seem useful.

Is there is any good recent detailed guide to switch to Linux from Windows 10?

This is a truly WTF moment about messed up responses to X11 session removal in Gnome.

2 weeks ago I published a blogpost about the upcoming plans of GNOME 49 and the eventual removal of the X11 session. Since then, instead of looking at feedback, bugs and issues related to the topic, we all collectively had to deal with the following, and I am not exaggerating one bit:

  • Fascists and Nazis
  • Wild Conspiracy Theories that make Qanon jealous
  • “Concerned” Trolling about the Accessibility of the Wayland session
  • A culture war where Wayland is Gay, and X11 is the glorious past they stole from you

In my wildest dreams I could have never made this shit up. You all need mandatory supervised access to the Internet from now on.

I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.

It turns out mpv already has this implemented. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/8949

Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it's possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I'll close this

And then I could remove the title bar if I really don't want to interact with the app.
