In Kubuntu I disabled snap entirely. Never needed it, and simply replaced Firefox with a mozilla PPA (and a blocker to prevent the snap version from being installed accidentally). Avoids multiple reported issues with the snap version of the browser. As for the store I never used it, always figured it was not as useful as synaptic. I'm guessing KDE's Discover is the base Ubuntu equivalent. Guess my point is the distro (and especially desktop environment) you spend time experimenting with can radically change your perception of Linux a LOT. If Gnome was all I was exposed to, I'd never have switched. But others think otherwise so I'm not going to say they're wrong. That said, when you spend your life in Windows you can easily ignore the rough edges in that OS as well, often without even realising you're doing it. So long as people don't insult one another for their OS choices however.

Well, currently the snap store is disabled in Mint for specific reasons. So I would find it strange if the opposite would happen in the future.

The 2.14 Fresnel mod is up: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/fresnel-mod-214-unofficial As requested, this is now just an override pk4 for the glprogs folder so it shouldn't interfere with mods that use tdm_base01.pk4 overrides. You can copy it into your base folder or into your darkmod/fms/mission folder.

not with my eyesight

It's a wrapper on this tech: https://zju3dv.github.io/gvhmr/ It's for non-commercial uses only. That ComfyUI wrapper requires a lot of dependencies. There's this version for ComfyUI that seems to streamline things, but I couldn't get it to work. Not enough people with right technical knowledge are interested in it so far. From the published examples it would seem that it gives better results with a single camera than Freemocap with multiple.

Is there no way to use fresnel per material, rather than globally?

Finally my monitor has developed dead pixels and a black line issue. I didn’t expect 27–34-inch monitors to be this affordable now. Only OLED prices haven’t dropped yet (I got OLED screens on my phone and TV before getting a monitor). But with my current GPU, I’ll probably stick with a 24-inch monitor. ik for 27 you need 1440p and 2k , 1080p is far from ideal Personally, I don’t expect microLED monitors to hit the market in the 2020s, maybe in early 2030s. That’s still far away Dell and HP monitor never do disservice. The one that recently broke has been in use for over 8 years *edit : I scored a great deal and a great discount on an LG Ultragear curved monitor. it’ll take a while for my eyes to adapt to the curved screen, especially for gaming.

Thus far I am not impressed by Snap. If Linux Mint decides to follow Ubuntu and go "Snap exclusive" I will jump ship to Debian or something else...

Btw. Anyone seen this ? https://github.com/andrewjc/Quake3e-HD Fully raytraced quake3 engine . Vulkan renderer. Also supports pbr.

I just suffered from it again. This time, there was an error when installing apps via the Ubuntu App Center. I must be really cursed that I have so many issues with Linux.
