Eyy! Glad to hear I'm not the only weirdo in this sub!

Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

Why "we" should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a "free" ""operating system"" (Not absolutely free, but at least way more "free" than Windows) -- learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

It could be (pretty much) any distro you want -- considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a "one stop shop" experience.

Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the "real thing"? When you have "obscure"/unsupported sbcs and you need to "make your own" version of it.

I’m not upset about it,

You just mentioned about 5 posts not being an "appealing Lemmy experience". Only. Five. Posts.

It's time to take a break my dude.

If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much... why don't you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else... that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.

In other words... this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.

 

Title. Just noticed that it has not been updated since a while. Also, what are the best alternatives to it?

Thanks in advance.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said "I'm on it" to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having "out of the box" support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It's pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn't go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it's perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I'm using it as a "lab rat" by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)....? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a "game" itself and DU ET NAO!

...no really. Do it.

 

tl;dr: Run "docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix" for a perfect cmatrix clone + ascii elmo.

Check thread link for more info.

 

Title. Just imagine the possibilities of having your own "homemade internet"!

 

...other than the logical factors of dust and the damage it can cause to components.

t. Got a orange pi zero 3 running caseless for almost an year.

 

tl;dr

Editing;

$photoortexteditoryoulike $(find / -iname incompletefilenam*)

Running;

exec $(find / -iname incompletepackagenam*)

Interacting (copying, moving, etc);

$desiredinteraction $(find / -iname desiredfileorpackag*) /desired/output/directory

It may be a "not-so-attractive" tip for most of you, but I find it really useful when I want to edit a specific file (that is located alongside several ones, like a picture or a text file). Or when I've finished compiling something and I want to find the binary file asap. Saves me lots of time on really slow pcs (like a rpi zero).

 

Title. Basically, a lower panel that shows the latest news, etc (fetched from a rss link or a sequence of rss links) while scrolling left (ala CNN). Why? I'm trying to make a "smart clock" of sorts that shows a live stream, a real time clock and -also- the latest news -- all crumbled together in a single screen.

I'm using a orange pi zero 3 w/ Dietpi installed. And due to the expected "crazyness" of this idea, I had to resort to you guys.

Thanks in advance.

 

Title. Is it the Logitech MX? Thanks in advance.

 

Title. Been using "conventional mouses" since a while, and I'm in the mood to try something new. Even so considering its a ergonomic mouse that won't screw my wrists even more while gaming(I'm over 40 y/o).

There are plenty of reviews for it on the internet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2wixvrWPg&pp=ygUVcmFnbm9rIG1vdXNlIDIgcmV2aWV3 for instance) but I'd like to hear some "real world" reviews about it.

 

I know this seem like a typical "Your opinion man" post but honestly, is there anything really useful beyond hosting an adblocker? (read: complementary, not found elsewhere, that enhances own's personal needs and/or life as a whole). And yes, I'm aware of what can be hosted -- picture editors, video editors, webtops, dhcpcd, emulators, and so on.

But the question is -- why I'd need all that if these stuff can be found on any ordinary PC out there? Even phones. Hell, even on a smart tv. That is like "trying to reinvent the wheel" for no necessary purpose other than "to look cool". There's also "because its fun", but is it really fun doing pretty much the same thing over and over again? There isn't a "learning gap" between these hosting options -- all of em have (pretty much) the same procedure to get things running.

With that said... I've been trying really, REALLY hard to host more stuff but I can't go beyond hosting (only) an adblocker.

 

Title. Something that is minimal, has a daemon and a very KISS config file. Bonus points if it also has a "generic" setup (works for all pcs but its not optimal? So I could run this on my sbc.)

Thanks in advance.

-EDIT- Forgot to mention that I've got both AMD cpu and gpu.

 

Title. Basically, "if a street fighter gamer and a linux tryhard had a baby" where a combination of keys is issued to run a command/script rather than a single or a simultaneous stroke of two or more. i.e left, down, left, right arrow keys, R_CTRL to run Firefox. Right, right, Up, right arrow keys, delete to power off the PC, etc.

Don't know if such command exists, but there you go.

Bonus points if its a standalone and supports X11, Wayland and Arcan.
