anteaters , in How it feels to install windows in 2023

I think the day I have to reinstall Windows on my Desktop will be the day I’ll replace it with Linux. Already use it on server and laptop but stuck with Windows for gaming. Anyone know if SteamVR works on Linux?

poweruser ,

I got it to launch but I only got about 15 FPS.

So it is at least possible. My PC is pretty outdated so it might work for you if you have a good graphics card with good drivers

socphoenix ,

It works with the valve index and I think the vice pro. I have the cosmos which doesn’t work… point being google your headset there will probably be some detailed advice for it!

The reason why I still use Windows is Excel, because everyone still relies on Excel formulas and macros 🙄

vd1n ,

Bro just say fuck it. If you use Linux you don’t need to care about regular lifestyle traditions. Treat yo self.

Bogasse ,

Doesn’t the browser version do the trick?

theshatterstone54 ,

Ver often, it doesn’t. I had to use Excel for some asignments, and because I’m on a pretty low end machine, I ended up dualbooting.

madeindjs ,

You can use it using your browser with Office 365, no ?

maxbossing , in What are the implications of having Anaconda running at the bootloader level as an installer for Fedora WS?

Why would you feel safer if anaconda would use another language like c instead of python, besides performance which doesnt really matter in this scenario?

Kalcifer , in NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems 😁

I’ve heard that ReFS is supposedly replacing NTFS, on Windows.

Happy_Harry ,

ReFS still is not supported for use as a boot (C:) drive, but it’s used extensively in enterprise environments for VHD storage and as a backup target.

Snapshotting and merging is much faster because of “Fast Cloning.” It also has something called “integrity streams” which can be used to tell if data has been corrupted.

I don’t understand this all at a deep level, but it seems promising.

IronKrill , in Rethinking Window Management on GNOME – Space and Meaning

Looks well thought out, I’m interested! I think the biggest problem will be leaving the user enough control to modify the layouts after they’ve launched and not downsize apps after the user has upsized them and the like. As long as that is overcome this would be a fantastic way to use the desktop.

murtaza64 , in The authors of node-ipc have pushed malware in an update, which wipes your disk if you happen to have Russian or Belorussian IP address. This affects some large projects [@bantg, Twitter]

In the statement from the NGO they threaten legal action. Is there grounds/precedent for such a thing? Don’t you use open source code at your own risk?

Node-ipc is used in way too many places.

im of course not a lawyer,
but id expect that there might be a diffrence between stuff breaking or not working as expected, and what sounds like intentional sabotage

thepiguy , in What microphone are you using for Linux?

Wave 1. The software does not work because it is made for some other platform, but the hardware is good and does not have any software locked features (very basic mic). The hardware mute key does not unmute the mic though, not sure what’s up with that…

gbrlsnchs , in What microphone are you using for Linux?

It’s an AKG C214 plugged into a SSL2+, works out of the box with the appropriate kernel drivers. Headphone is a Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, also plugged into the SSL2+.

anarchyreloaded , in What microphone are you using for Linux?

I use a Zoom H5 as an audio interface. It comes with a stereo Microphone that is really good quality and has two XLR connectors for any mic. No issues with Linux as far as drivers etc is concerned + it doubles as a portable recorder.

wildbus8979 , in Help with WiFi question, please and thank you

It would help to know what your wifi card is. Did you look in dmesg for any clues? You’re probably missing the firmware blobs.

Pixlbabble OP ,

It’s a usb wifi adapter Netgear model:A6210.

wildbus8979 ,

Doesn’t tell me much, Netgear uses a variety of chipsets

Cipher1251 , in Updates on voice-to-text in Linux/GNOME lately?

Been using talonvoice.com with some good success. Has a command mode for coding/navigating and a dictation mode.

@cow@lemmy.world avatar

I use a fifine microphone which mostly works ok. I used to use NoiseTorch when I had a keyboard with clickies but it was more trouble than it was worth (probably zoom linux client’s fault not NoiseTorch though).

slembcke , in Rethinking Window Management on GNOME – Space and Meaning

So I’ve used the Pop Shell extension. It’s really neat when you have a bunch of little windows like terminals and file browsers open. 95% of the time it’s actively annoying though. I appreciate that it’s on a toggle so I can use it when I want it. The proposed mosaic mode doesn’t seem terribly different, and has the same problem where it just randomly moves things around breaking my association of “where I put that”. Most of the time I really need the spatial aspect, and am willing to manage a few windows by hand to get it.

Also: Joining half screen windows into a single unit?! Please don’t do it! D: Augh! Apple did that on OS X about the time I left and I absolutely hated it. It was so actively bad. :(

rbos , in I Compiled the Linux Kernel myself for the first time
@rbos@lemmy.ca avatar

Wow, well done. I haven’t done that in like 20 years!

Noodlez , in Distrobox is such a cool utility! Tried it out today and don't see myself switching distress now for a long time :)

I use Distrobox with my NixOS machine for when I need AppImage support (or some random binary that isn’t equipped for Nix’s weird ass directory layout) and it’s amazing! Pretty much native speed, and when I’m done with it I can just wipe it out. Perfect!

Chewy7324 ,

Distrobox is great and I also used on Fedora Silverblue before switching to NixOS (with similar use cases).

For running AppImages there’s also appimage-run on NixOS. nixos.wiki/wiki/Appimage

Noodlez ,

I’m aware, but the appimage I run (Slippi Launcher) will run other appimages, and appimage-run can’t handle that, since it extracts the appimage, then runs the contents, but it won’t automatically do that for other appimages that are run.

Which is why I used a Distrobox and it was awesome, worked like a charm. I used Arch previously, and I just made an Arch distrobox and it worked perfectly.
