State of gaming on linux?

I used linux in the past, both privately and work-related, but the last time was over 10 years ago, so I’m a bit out of touch. I am in need of a new PC, but it’ll be a good year before I have the funds, so for now I am making due with an i5 7500 and a gtx 1660. I do have 32 GB so there’s that. I finally feel confident...

What is the worst US state to live in generally?

I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in...

Apple TV vs Firestick.

So. I just bought a new telly and to my surprise, not, the OS is rather bad and has very limited amount of apps. Therefore I’ll invest further in either Apple TV or the Firestick. Anyone got any recommendations, tips or hot takes on this? Which has more adds, and can it be blocked via DNS? Further read that Firestick could be...

Are there any good Lemmy tools to easily but properly nuke your history yet? Like PowerDeleteSuite works for Reddit?

It just feels kind of gross having parts of me hanging out on the internet for too long. Like I haven’t been able to wash my hands/face for a while. I do it manually occasionally, but I have to block off a morning or evening for it now when I used to be able to do it with a couple mouse clicks then go off to take a shit or...

How to figure out the exact driver needed for the WiFi card to install it on Linux?

I apologize if this seems like a trivial matter, but I have a laptop (a Lenovo Ideapad 3 to be exact) and I can’t get WiFi (or Bluetooth) to work on anything other than Ubuntu 23.04 and its flavors. I tried OpenSUSE Leap and Debian 12, both couldn’t detect the built-in WiFi card. I also tried Ubuntu-based distros such as...

Recommended FLAC converter?

I have a collection of music in flac format and now I want to store them on my phone. flac files get too much space and downloading all the playlist in mp3 takes as much time as finding decent and real high quality flacs (there is plenty of songs on internet which only look like 320kbps and are not really high quality). So I...

My Docker containers can no longer communicate with the host's local network

I feel like I’m losing my mind. A few days ago, all of my containers running on Docker Desktop on my Windows Server host were working nicely. I had NFS volumes set up on a few of them to reach my synology NAS on my local network, and things were working fine. I’ve done so much digging and tweaking over the last few days, so...

Downloaded macOS game apparently needs Steam, but won't run even though it's been added to Steam. Any ideas?

As per the title, I downloaded this game, have added it to my Gatekeeper exemption and disabled SIP and all that, and even though it’s added to Steam as a non-Steam game, all I get when it loads is a message saying “Steam not found, please start through Steam client”....

I am confused about Lemmy and Matrix

Hey guys I am confused about how privacy friendly are lemmy and matrix I would love if someone can answer these questions :- 1.) some websites state that lemmy prefers you to have one user server (that is 1 server with only 1 user ) , but somewhere else i read that you need to whitelisted by servers to allow you to post on their...

Old PC as Server

I have an early 2000s PC (pre-SATA) with 512MB RAM (I’d love to tell you about the CPU, but its under a cooler that isn’t going anywhere) that’s been sitting in closets for about 15 years. Assuming I’m willing to buy into it, can something like that reasonably host the following simultaneously on a 40GB boot drive:...
