I’m not familiar with this program, but did you follow the instructions to grant permissions? If you do that, you should be able to run it without using sudo, and it should read the config file from your home folder.
I think I forgot one command, the second one. If so, should I just go again through the whole process or I have to uninstall the changes before that (I don’t know how to do this)
Hmm, in that case I’ve got nothing more sorry, since I don’t use this program myself, nor MATE. You could try asking on fusuma’s github page, or alternatively, I would recommend using Touchégg instead, which is a basically the de-facto program for multi-touch gestures, for people using a non-standard desktop.
Okay, I tried it (along with touché the gui, and it’s worst here, it breaks the whole system ability to make use of the touchpad. I guess problem with the gnome version of MATE. Thanks for your help bro
You might want to know about discord updates, if the maintainers of the distribution don’t update discord as fast as the discord developper, it will fail to launch when major update happen since those don’t go through the internal updater of the client, and discord only provide a .deb package, which you can install with a simple double click on debian based distribution (ubuntu, mint, mx, zorin etc), and a generic linux exectuable, which can be launched in any distributions but won’t be automatically integrated in your application menus
Try tweaking this, courtesy of the slackbuild page for discord:
If you’d like Discord to continue working after an upstream update is released, but is not yet available on SBo, add the following to your user’s ~/.config/discord/settings.json file:
Thank the maintainer of that slackbuild who probably got tired of people bugging him to update the script every time a new release came out and threw up that helpful note!
I’ll sometimee switch to Windows to play specific games as well.
That is probably the best answer. Linux is a serious POSIX compliant UNIX like operating system. Gaming on Linux is pretty much an afterthought, with game studios not producing native Linux ports. Last I saw was Starsiege Tribes II, which while they made a native port, they let it languish and die. Most of the games out there will require Proton (A version of Wine) or similar. While that trick can get many games to play on Linux, usually it is not supported by the game studio that made the game, which is less than fun when games games end up having issues. Worse, games running ainti-cheat can mistake that fake windows environment as a hacked system designed to try and cheat the game, which can get you irreversibly banned from such a game. Not worth the risk. Finally, when issues with this compatibility wedge come up, and they will sooner or later, often gamers, such as yourself, take to blaming Linux, instead of the gaming studios or the compatibility wedge, making Linux look bad to others and hinders Linux desktop adoption rates. Do everyone yourself and Linux a favor and just run the games where they were made to be played, Windows… unless it’s a native Linux port or even better, was written for Linux from the start.
I haven’t had an issue with gaming on Linux in ages. Since the Steam Deck came out checking the compatibility of a game is an afterthought I do not need to worry about.
I installed Zorin on a computer for someone who hardly uses a computer, and it was easy for them to get the hang of navigating it. If you’re coming from windows, with not much Linux experience, it should be an easy transition. From what I remember, it’s based on Debian. I’ve read, enabling their testing repos is a good way to keep as up to date on packages as you can, while keeping it stable. Debian strives for stability, over the most recent updates of packages. Which could be good in your case (You can always install Flatpak to get the most up-to-date packages, too). I’m not sure how Zorin fairs for gaming. You may want to consider Pop!_OS, or even just straight Debian. [email protected] has some great material on how to get Debian working for gaming. Later on, you could move to Arch. I’ve heard great things about EndeavourOS. Arch is known for being bleeding-edge and having the most up-to-date packages but you may come across instances where you need to troubleshoot a bit more (their wiki has almost anything you could want to know, though). Almost everything will run on Linux. Check out Proton, Lutris, and Bottles. And, obviously, Steam and Discord work on Linux, so you’re good there.
You’re the second person to mention pop_os. I’ll have to do some more digging on that.
I swear the way linux distros are named never ceases to crack me up. It’s part of the reason I came here to ask. I have some experience with raspberry pi lite so that I have a place to mess around and learn, but aside from that there are so many distros that it’s hard to get direction. Most of what I know I pulled from distrochooser and some light googling. But it seems like everything is an ad so finding reliable info can be a journey.
At any rate thank you for adding to my list of research. I appreciate it greatly :)
With a bit more digging, you might even start to notice a pattern if all the articles, and realise that most sites you find on search engines are giving you nothing but articles generated through ai based on each other with little to no meaningful difference between each others
Thanks for the recommendation. I was looking through the packages that are available and it looks like some of the packages I use just aren't available yet (leftwm, wezterm etc). Still looks like a very good alternative to nix if the packages you want are supported
I have a 2070 super that I use for gaming and tensor stuff. So far no problems with Arch, X11, and i3. I don’t really have brand loyalty though, when I last bought a graphics card I just considered what was going to be best for my price point.
