Bin so froh gerade in Schweden zu sein, hier wirds nicht wärmer als 24°C :)
Ah, that makes sense. Too bad. I have all my games on steam and haven't yet found a way to play them with the patch. I could, of course, compile proton with the patch myself, but somehow I am too stupid for that.
How did you get it to work within proton? Last time I looked, the Wayland patch wasn't yet included in proton. I'd love to use it for my games too.
Any news on wine on Wayland? I haven't heard anything in a while; is it still being worked on?
I can't see the wizard and the horse anymore lol
I think I have been at exactly this one once lol
Just add HideDesktopPreviewBanner=true
to the [General] section in the ~/.config/kdeglobals
file and restart plasmashell with systemctl restart --user plasma-plasmashell.service
or just log out and back in.
Surprised. At your surprise.
Haha, that's hilarious.
I guess I was expecting something between €50 and €80. But certainly nothing over €100. For two years, of course.
But you have to understand that I watch a movie maybe once a month, and I do not need a VPN for anything else. Tor works totally fine for all my other needs.
Also, I do not and never did pay for any other online subscriptions, so like many of you suggested, I would not be saving money by canceling them and spending money on a VPN instead. But I can see how it might be a great option in your case.
website keeps a block-list of IPs that are known to belong to VPNs.
That's a good point; I've never thought about it this way. But if you say that one can easily find an IP that isn't blocked yet, I guess it would be fine.
Thanks, I will take a look at this.
My point is this: the cost of a VPN subscription shouldn't be compared to the cost of a subscription streaming service, because 1) they serve two very different purposes, and 2) when you break it down the VPN sub always wins. 😉
I know, and you're right. It was just meant to serve as an expression of how surprised I was by the price.
No holiday sales, no spring cleaning sales, no bulk discounts, nothing. And I view that as a positive thing.
So do I.
Apparently, people get upset when you tell them that you were surprised by something you didn't expect.
Anyway, let's not make that discussion about my view on the price of a VPN; I feel like this is kind of irrelevant.
What's more important, do you know if they blocked all those 123Movies websites? After all, this is the most important requirement I have.
So what do you do when a new movie comes out that you want to watch?
Interesting. What is that "private torrent tracker"? How exactly do you download from it?
That's what I tried at first, but they blocked the website I use.
is at odds with
I just didn't expect it to be this much. After all, two years of this would cost me €120. I expected it to be more like €50. So I guess in this case, it is about the money; after all, there is a reason why we pirate ;)
Personally, I prefer to give my money to Mullvad than to Netflix.
Don't worry, so would I. There is no way I'm supporting this company. It was just supposed to be a comparison.
Thanks, that might be an idea. I would still definitely prefer a way to do it for free, but as a last option, I'll look into this. Edit: Just found out that it costs €5 per month, no matter what. I could almost buy Netflix from that...
While that would probably work, as I already said, I do not want to pay for one. It's less about the money but more about that I'd have to give them all my information - my name, credit card details and so on. And I am not willing to do that, as a VPN is only private until the government or whoever asks for all your data, which would include the Website and the fact that I visited it.
As the title says, how do you pirate your movies while staying private?
I currently use one of the multiple 123movies websites to watch all my movies. But I'd like to not have my IP on their servers, so I use the tor network to connect to them. Now, as you can imagine, this is very slow and far from ideal. Most free VPNs have blocked the websites, and I do not want to pay for one. I thought about torrents, but found no way to do that privately either. Then I thought about Startpages "Anonymous view" feature, but that breaks the website I use.
So, how do you do it? I need some inspiration. Thanks in advance.
Well that's that then. I also have no idea what to try anymore... I guess you'll just have to wait until some random update fixes the issue. Sorry.
Edit: Since you reinstalled everything, I think it could be some cache on your system that went bad. That would explain why both the Flatpak and native versions don't work and why the rest of your system works. But I have no idea where that cache might be...
This just can't be...
After some deep digging, I found one last Idea. Try launching steam with the -vgui
flag and let me know if that works.

There are multiple options to achieve Wayland screen sharing with discord. I will cover two here.
OPTION 1 (Recommended):
There is a web-based discord client for Linux called "Webcord" that supports Wayland screen sharing. You just have to install it, open it, sign in, and you're done.
You can install it by downloading your preferred package from here or by using the flatpak version avaliable on flathub.
If you dont have flatpak set up - here is another quick guide.
That's it! You can now start screen sharing on Wayland!
In case you are interested in streaming your desktop audio as well, there is another Discord client called discord-screenaudio to do just that. It is also available on flathub.
OPTION 2:
What you'll need:
- Any Chromium-based browser (Firefox works too, but not as good)
- Web Apps (Should be available in your distribution Store, but here is a link to their GitHub: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager)
Step1:
Open WebApps and click on the little + icon in the bottom. Fill in the name (Discord) and the web Address (discord.com/app). The icon should apply automatically. As a browser, choose your Chromium-based browser. Then activate the switch "Isolated Profile" and click Ok.
Step2:
You now should be able to find Discord in your application-launcher of your choice. If you see discord twice, that means that you have now both the "real" Discord app and the new WebApp. Then try to launch the WebApp Discord. You now can sign in and use discord just as normal. However, there is still no Wayland support. We will activate it in step 3.
Step3: (unnecessary if you use Firefox)
While in the WebApp Discord, press Ctrl+T. A new window should appear. Then type chrome://flags in the address bar and press enter. Now search for "WebRTC PipeWire support" and change it from default to true. Now click "Relaunch" in the bottom of the window. If you have done everything right, you should now have Wayland support :)
I hope I could help you in some form, and have a nice day!
​
Optional: (And for more advanced users) Running the Discord WebApp without the use of Xwayland
Since Chrome version 97:
While in the Discord WebApp, press Ctrl+T. Type chrome://flags in the address bar and hit enter. Search for "Preferred Ozone platform". Change it from "Default" to "Auto". Then relaunch Discord. That's it.
Chrome Versions below 97:
Note: This is ONLY tested with arch/Manjaro and Brave. It could work on other systems and browsers too, but this is not guaranteed. So you basically just have to enable chromium Wayland flag. You can do this by creating a config file at $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf. Do that by running nano $HOME/.config/brave-flags.conf
(If you are running another browser than Brave, I guess you could replace brave with the name of the other browser, but I didn't test this). Now insert the flag --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
save it by pressing Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X. Now launch Discord again and see if it runs natively on Wayland. You can do this by installing and running xeyes (when installed, simply run xeyes in your terminal). When you move the mouse over a window and the eyes are moving, it uses Xwayland or X11. If not, you successfully activated Wayland.
