I like Manjaro Gnome. I changed the maui shell for the gnome shell and everything is looking great, and as close to vanilla gnome as possible (which is what I liked from Fedora :P) is not the same package system, but is very neat ;)
hi all, i’m new to openrgb, (and first post on Lemmy), i’m trying this software but many problem with software, or better with profiles. I have a windows 10 pc, rayzen5 cpu, amd gpu, some corsair fan, some razer led stripe and keyboard. All device are set correctly i think and openrgb see all and manage it, but everytime i close app, at restart cannot load profile (or better load but seem no change), loose effect in use, loose parameter, loose hardware sync config, each time need to setup everything again… is this normal? i’m using 0.8 release, because 0.9 did not load any plugin in my case.
Thats an entirely different issue though. Unless you’re passing the hardware through to the VM, it can have big limitations as far as what you can do with the VM.
Once I got Warcraft 3 working on Wine on Ubuntu 4.10, I quit Windows cold turkey.
Erase disk and install Ubuntu
I was ~18. The first “OS” I’ve used was a BASIC interpreter. Then DOS. Then Windows till Ubuntu 4.10. I’ve also used Debian concurrently here and there since then. I’ve tried various other Linux OSes for fun. I’ve used both Ubuntu and RHEL for work. Currently I run most of my machines on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and done Debian. My work machine is on officially supported Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
oh man, warcraft 3 was my game when I was trying to install linux the first time, I didn’t know enough at that point to get it working lol. I tried though, my mom told me about wine and I tried that and blitzkreig.
I mostly installed Ubuntu on old machines after nuking them with dban right before selling them. Stuck with Windows until 7 stopped getting security updates. I’d still be fully on 7 if I could, tbh. Though living in Linux is helpful for selfhosting.
Last time I tried to use low latency audio on a Windows VM the latency was still horrendous. You could get closer to the desired result via some non-trivial virtualization where you passthrough a whole USB controller to Windows and you plug your hardware in it. Unfortunately that still isn’t as low latency as native Windows. It might be possible to get there via further optimization like CPU core pinning but I didn’t get there. I keep a laptop with Windows for the purpose.
TL;DR: Windows VM for low latency audio isn’t an option.
My first encounter with Linux was in 2008-9 when my dad bought a secondhand PC that came with PCLinuxOS. We mostly used it to play SuperTuxKart at the time.
Then a friend showed me Ubuntu (must have been 10.04 or something like that) when we started a website project together
I tried using Mint in college and ended up using it full-time by the end of the year. Then had a brief period of using Ubuntu (drive issues with Mint) before heading back to Windows when I bought a new PC for university.
I’ve been using Windows for study and work, and Linux for personal development when possible. I’d like to go back to Linux full-time, but I’m not sure which distro to use
My first experience with Linux was in the mid 80s when I was in the service working with AT&T 3B20 and Sperry UNIX servers as an admin. I enjoyed just about every aspect of the OS, but most government, contractor, and civilian jobs required desktop software that Linux either couldn’t install or the open source equivalent just wasn’t good enough.
Over the many, MANY, years I have kept experimenting with the various desktop environments, but with my current job a large percentage of our servers are Ubuntu or RedHat Linux (although we’re being forced to migrate to Windows Servers for many of the same reasons yet again).
That being said, with the ability for many Microsoft Office365 products working well enough as web-apps, my home laptop runs 100% KDE Neon, and with the exception of needing a couple Windows-only programs (which no longer runs on Linux) I’d probably be running KDE Neon on my work laptop as well. If I can ever get Cisco ASDM to work with Wine and/or Bottles, I will be switching over soon after.
The DEs in the last few years are light years ahead, and I am personally very impressed with just how smooth everything works. My hope is to get back to a semi-40 hour work week in a few years and help contribute - not as a programmer, but perhaps as a QA tester or the like.
Beginning of the year when I got my Steam Deck and found it about the desktop mode. Now I have garuda on my living room tv-pc up and running to game and watch stuff. Best decision since a long time, thanks GabeN for giving me the final nudge to go linux.
Honestly? My old laptop was having issues (not major but not ideal in terms of overall performance) running Windows 10 and it inspired me to try out a few distros. I later learned after trying a few:
Overall Linux isn’t scary at all, with an abundance of tutorials and documentation provided. (Just be aware of trying not to solve all problems with random hammers, or rather using any tutorial to fix the symptoms you’re having)
In terms of customization it’s second to none. Privacy wise has been well documented, but even aesthetically via the UI you have a ton of options. (Plug for [email protected] for some inspiration.)
Finally it’s nice just to tinker with Linux as a project. There’s only so much you can do with Windows or MacOS, while Linux is open and allows for a variety of programs, tools, and more. It allows you to get more comfortable with your computer and by extension more comfortable with technology in general!
I don't remember my exact first experiences, it was ages ago, like probably almost a couple decades, and I think with something like OpenSUSE. My first real experience came a bit later with Linux Mint, which I used on a Laptop, while continuing with Windows on my desktop, specifically for my gaming needs. Back then we just had Wine, and it was still a hot mess, but I was able to play some Guild Wars for example and other games fairly decently already. A few years ago, after the Windows 10 "freebie" nuked itself and my entire C partition, with all its data on it (especially the hidden user folders), I continued a little with 7 but shortly after my gpu died. I didn't knew which component at the time, as it started to hang during the boot process, so I assumed other components. Anyway, I didn't had a desktop for well over a year after, and used above laptop to at least browse the web and watch videos, and test some Linux distros. I eventually landed at Manjaro, which also later became my system OS on my newly built desktop a couple years ago. From there I went to EOS after I wanted to switch to btrfs for the system partition anyway, which nuked itself recently. Since the community rather wanted to troll and gaslight instead of helping me I left EOS behind and am currently experiencing the horrors of Gnome in Nobara, which I didn't used since the Unity rework, and am probably trying the KDE version soonish, because there's just too many issues and lack of baseline functions that I need and miss from KDE, and it's also just way too buggy.
Bought a book/CD combo from Borders for SUSE Linux when I was in middle school around 2003. Installed it but then went back to windows when I realized networking didn’t work.
