He’s an og quakeworld player running it in 320x200 sw@120Hz/fps. It’s native on Linux since 1998, so the switch for him makes sense.

ArchInstaller. Or Endeavour.

I have the same experience with Arch. It just works. When it doesn’t, you forgot to read https://archlinux.org/news/ before sudo pacman -Syu

Well damn.

My hatred of Windows got so much in the past two years, when I abandoned ship last year for Linux (using Arch btw), I was ready to ditch software that was not available native, without even bothering with trying to run them through Wine. In the end I had to abandon three of my absolute favourite software, totalcmd, notepad++ and foobar2000. Luckily I was able to replace them with nearly similar quality equivalents in Krusader, Kate and DeaDBeeF. Bit less polished, but very configurable.

My work requires me to have a windows based laptop or a Macbook. They’ve told me that they’ve been trying Fedora workstation before, but supposedly the VPN doesn’t work on it. I’ve checked and the VPN expressly supports certain distro, including fedora. But they’ve simply disabled VPN access from non-win/mac based systems since. I suspect there’s either some skill issue or something fishy going on. I know they are monitoring incoming and outgoing files to the system via some tool, which may indeed be not supported on Linux workstations. However the way I use this laptop is simply by accessing it through RDP, and then share files between it and my personal desktop via SMB on LAN, and no one ever complained. I have the lid closed on it all the time. So in essence I just use it like a terminal, and only run work related webportals through a browser on it, like JIRA and shit. Most of my work related to our platform I’m running on my own desktop, because it’s significantly faster.

Not sure what I’d do if I still had to run Windows or even VMs for stuff.

Wth do you need once or twice a day, unless it’s for a niche hobby or work?

Ploopy time!

Or just come to Canada and die in a fire that was set by the mafia in your egressless airbnb.

I disagree with this assessment. If the default association suddenly disappears, I want it to prompt me the next time what I want to use as default instead. Not arbitrarily set a default for me that I do not agree with.

Luckily I run linux now (Arch btw) since last summer.

Looks like it’s carving out a piece of profits from more niche markets. The Soleil is dropping for pre order on October 10. But unlike Logitech, this one has FOSS firmware and is not made of plastic that degrades within three years.

But also probably 4x the price.

So where do I get this sticker?

I’m just going by what the default image viewer on iOS is capable of:

Which is pretty yank, but I know that there’s also Google Lens on android, which does a lot better job, so I assume there’s actual better, more manga reading suited software out there for both mobile OSes.

I saw some implementation on Linux that worked a bit, but…

I need something like this but for image viewers and for manga/manhwa. It always amazes me how there’s options for this on mobile, even on IOS, but desktop linux doesn’t have anything comparable that has integrated text recognition and translation overlay.

Average Canonical employee post.

What does it steam? Buns? What does the 4K stand for?

Are you plugging in a headset through jack or USB? Or are you letting the speakers of your laptop do the work?

I know you’ve hopped from Mint to PopOS to Bazzite since, but I had a hard time getting built in speaker audio working on my laptop as well with Mint. I’d probably go with arch or something other bleeding edge.

What if you boot a windows installation, from an external drive or something? Does the sound come back?

I already use super+meta+arrows to move/tile windows around in xfce (modified it a bit from how it behaved in win10), but I was wondering if a tiling manager could elevate the experience.

How do you use it? Do you need to use hot keys constantly?

I just use a windows laptop for those occasions.

What mouse is that?
