This is lovely

I'm out of the loop. What happened to libgen?

Is it dead or complete? For my purposes, it doesn't need any changes.

Many have mentioned org-mode. I used it for years but have moved on to todo.txt and markdown. I use syncthing to keep notes up to date on my phone and computer. I edit with whatever is available on my desktop and I use markor notes on my phone.

I think this setup only lacks the recurring tasks option. I think org-mode can do that but I use my calendar for that.

This is a highly personal topic so I'd suggest trying as many things as you can. Something will stick eventually.

"secure" boot, the industry standard for ensuring that devices don't run software other than Windows during the bootup process

FTFY

It burns

Great idea re: the graphene forums, thanks so much!

Newpipe appears to be working

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

Thanks so much for the screenshot!

Do emulators like lemuroid take up the whole screen on the inside of the fold?

I was debating on a tablet or the pixel fold and I saw a video where it showed that the inside screen was basically two screens and man apps just displayed in the middle with black borders on either side.

I've got a little MSI box with 16GB of RAM, 500GB SSD, and a quad core i3 running Proxmox. Home Assistant is in its own VM, I have a VM for a bastion host/jump box of sorts for a client's network (yes, I know VPNs exist), and then a VM running a few Docker containers: CheckMK, Dozzle, Uptime Kuma, and The TP-Link Omada Controller software. I intend to migrate those to Podman eventually.

On my desktop in Podman, I'm running Dashy, Redlib, and Dozzle regularly. Sometimes I run other services but those are pretty persistent. I use Podman on my local machine for my development work and it's just handy to have Redlib and Dashy right here.

I tend to interact with things via SSH unless it's a webshit.

Decino's tech breakdowns are so entertaining!

How long before Nintendo slaps a DMCA on this one?

I think the elite offers a lot for that price. Swappable sticks and back paddles, trigger stops, multiple profiles, adjustable tension, etc. It's basically an OEM "custom" controller.

That being said, I like other controllers better than my elite.

I've been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It's wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn't notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

It's a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

I'd like to see trigger stops but they haven't done that yet. I'd also like to have clicky face buttons so I'm considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

This looks great! I have definitely not played enough RSG so maybe I'll give this a go. I've sunk more hours into ikaruga.

On android, lemuroid is pretty good for this sort of thing and you can change the arrangement of your nds/3ds screens.

I have been using the hell out of bazzite for the last few weeks and I've really enjoyed it. There have been a couple of minor bugs but otherwise everything just generally works.

I've enjoyed it so much that I've also installed bluefin on my work laptop.

Not OP but:

• on a desktop it's defaulted to desktop mode. I'm unsure about the steam deck.

• you choose. KDE or GNOME. Budgie is being worked on.

• lutris can install your windows executables. Bottles is available too.

The only games I'm unable to play so far have been AAA games with unfriendly anticheat. ProtonDB helps here.

Echoing the other sentiments, it's probably a good idea to hunt down why your system is having trouble because distro hopping might not fix it.

That being said I've recently been using bazzite and it's been relatively smooth. You just have to learn a couple (easy) ways to do package management a little differently.

Some of the questions about distros don't take into account those of us who have been using Linux since the mid-90s. Your scope here seems to be directed at the last decade or so.

RedHat 5.3 with fvwm (or fvwm95) is very nostalgic for me because it was one of the few walnut creek CDs I managed to get working. Mandrake and early SuSe were cute as well.

I'd wager it uses systemd considering Lennart Poettering works for Microsoft.

I sure hope this meme was edited or the op is satire. The dead internet has messed so many people up.

The distinction is irrelevant and "AI" is what businesses and normal folks call this stuff. Just like the age old arguments that the media should say something like "cyber criminals" instead of "hackers" or "cloud" is just other people's computers. LLM, GNU/spicy-auto-correct, whatever. To the populous it's all "AI".

I absolutely love it. Easy to find newer versions of things than what's in my distro's repos, easy to update. The only snags I've encountered is sometimes (very rarely) a program won't have access to part of my storage or my system's dark theme isn't applied. The former is super rare and the latter is usually 5min of searching the web to remember how to change the theme for a flatpak.

EDIT: after reading some of the other comments, I should mention that I only use it for GUI applications. I've not yet tried any TUI/CLI applications as flatpaks.

can confirm. am crazy and dangerous. 🤣

"Don't cry, you can run bash on Windows 10 now." I'm dead... hahaha

There's a really fine line between needing a spreadsheet and needing a database and I've not yet found it. It's probably more fuzzy than I realized but I have participated on so many programming projects that amounted to a spreadsheet that lived too long.

I used a pro 7+ for a while with Fedora on it and it ran just fine. The stylus worked generally well, too. Eventually I put Win 11 back on it to be able to use the camera (it was not yet supported by the linux-surface project and still may not be?) and it worked well enough with WSL that I kept it that way. I generally spent my time in firefox and windows terminal with little to no trouble at all (after de-clawing windows the best I could).

Note that the keyboard is about what you'd expect for such a flat thing. I'm pretty sure it's rubber dome and not butterfly switches. It's not a great experience but it's no worse than your average laptop.

I couldn't agree with this comment more! cod:m is a blast and runs on a lot of devices, even google-free ones.

MX Linux

Option for no systemd, great community, good overall appearance, great set of custom tools.

Mint

Generally works in cases where Ubuntu would and you don't have to deal with Canonical's choices.
