What a lovely meatball.

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

Does a single board computer counts as a phone? Then a Orange pi zero 3. (Not like theres anything else to do other than read/lurk online communities, code and the occasional cloud gaming nowadays, so eh.)

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Aw ye! Can’t wait to game with FSR 3 on my Raspberry pi 4!

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, “it just werks” just like Xorg – don’t know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.

t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support – Orange pi zero 3.

Then do it? It’s a free operating system – just download whatever distro pleases you, give it a spin, see what happens.

Eh… “gaslighting 101” – swears randomly (against the victim/target), throws in a (non-random) praise to “raise the fire even more”, refuses to elaborate.

The finals game doesnt run on linux so i switched back to windows 11.

Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn’t run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so...

Apparently theres a “better wayland” already as is – forgot its name now. I’d love to see it overcoming both wayland and Xorg.

Oh…Arcan. Yep, that one.

Nah, more like you see this when the kernel finishes loading.

recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Arch user here. Never had any problems with Sway and Hyprland, but still… ratpoison is what you are looking for.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t need to be (specifically) configuration files – you can add scripts as well. A script that installs every package you need and remove/mask the ones you do not, for example. Which can make a 30 minute long experience become a 3 one.

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

Nowadays there are linux distros that gives the same “double clicks your cares away” experience ala windows – ZorinOS, Linux mint and Garuda linux.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Ensure you have systemd-resolved installed on your Linux system.

Oh boy.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

You could make a live distro image(s) of your choice and use em on a pendrive with ventoy installed. (It’s a bit tricky tho.)

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

It’s fun and games… until you get lots of “…just like X command?” commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.

t. Been there, done that.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

GustavoM OP ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

But… is that not exactly the description of somebody who complains about downvotes??

There is “Stop downvoting me! You are making me saddie-waddie!” and there is “Why are you folks enjoying something so stupid and trivial?”. Which the latter is my point, and not a whine. (And yes, when a negative feedback is constructive and has a point to back up it = not a whine. And a whine = a simple emotional outburst.)

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Openshot for me. It’s very lightweight and hassle-free.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

I too can’t wait to compile the kernel (and its modules) on cargo.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

If that means an AI-assistant of sorts (like “that OS name that cannot be spoketh”) I’m game.

Will that make some users freak out and make it sound like its doomsday, even if they implement a on/off toggle to the AI assistant? Probably.

Day 6/9 of Lemmy Lecember

Today I was passive-aggressive attacked by some users for sharing my work. The plebbit feeling is real.

GustavoM OP ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Did you tried running it as another user? I’ve set binary ownership via chmod to the non-root user in the container.

GustavoM OP , (edited )
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks. And CTRL + C is a bit wonky since it waits for the command to reach the end of the code to trigger it, but it works. (It’s intended to be “gloriously minimal”, so theres that. With built-in functions, and the least amount of code and calls.)

GustavoM OP , (edited )
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve no idea. Still, running it on my rpi 4 and on my orange pi zero 3 has given me the same expected experience without any sudden changes.

I’m a bit curious, can you share the repository?

Here you go.

it runs my games better than Linux and I’m really lost.

You already answered your own question/experience – do some “duckduckgoing” (even if it means falling back to the basics once again, “How to run a windows game on linux”) and then come back here. Because yes, GNU/Linux is 100% viable for gaming and can even run games better than on Winblows – if you know how to setup things properly.

A word of advice however, Linux tend to be a bit “sensitive” regarding some system elements/packages – you’ve got to provide all possible info to everything – theres no “ready out of the box” in these lands.

Three gaming-focused Linux operating systems beat Windows 11 in gaming benchmarks (www.tomshardware.com)

Nobara OS, Arch Linux and Pop!_OS beat Windows 11 by a slim margin in fps (delta 8) in Windows native games - Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Starfield and The Talos Principle II. Windows 11 wins in Rachet & Clank....

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

More like, “doesn’t matter – not being tracked > all.” :^)

Even so, Linux is easier to use than Windows (yes, I went there.) because of a single and only fact:

Configuration files.

Does the average Windows user can configure EVERYTHING through a SINGLE configuration/text file, that explicitly says “what does what”? Video, sound, window size, hotkeys…?

No? So there you have it.

This is beyond brilliance.

There is no such thing as a “gaming distro” – all GNU/Linux distros are equally good for gaming and any other task.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Opinions =/= facts. And the fact that every GNU/Linux distro is equally good for gaming and everything else stands true.

Why? Because all GNU/Linux distros are GNU/Linux at heart – and can be (equally) customized and improved.

Or, in other words – “Because it’s not Windows lmao”.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Distro with preinstalled packages =/= distro with exclusive features. The same packages available on “gaming distros” are available on any other “non-gaming” distro as well.

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Nobara has a number of kernal patches and general fixes not found on Fedora

…which can be implemented on every other distro as well. Again, it’s GNU/Linux and not Windows – “all you can see/exist in a distro you can do/implement in every other distro.”

GustavoM ,
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Resorting to (pure) denials won’t change facts neither prove me wrong – all GNU/Linux distros are equally good and can be tweaked/improved equally – there are nothing that makes em stand out.

    I also cried internally when I saw Doom (“classic”) running at my Linux distro for the first time.

    Just you wait until you find out you can (almost) break the OS yet still make it work.

    GustavoM ,
    @GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

    I won’t spoil the whole thing for you, but a couple system-related things can be “masked” (i.e disabled) ending up in a half-functional system (i.e lots of error messages, loading times increased due to it but still functional.).

    “Gee, folks are hating up on snapd! Hah, I know! Let’s make our own .deb and --”

    “…but .deb files does not provide isolation or any other sandboxing-related feature.”

    Recommend security-first basic Linux Apps! (github.com)

    As part of the effort of making a “Chromebook-like” secure, autoupdating, cloud-native, “unbreakable” (but still free and privacy-friendly) Distro, I would like some of your recommendations on especially secure software, that could replace common ones like File managers, Archive Managers, PDF reader, Image viewer etc....

    firejail

    ufw

    And docker if you are paranoid. (You can completely shut off the network of specific commands – can’t get any better (and safer) than that!).

    How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u...

    ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....

    Fair enough. Thank you for your input.

    …and also, good ol’ baby duck syndrome.

    Even then, gaming was 100% doable/acceptable at that time. Even not (just) a year back, but a COUPLE years back.

    Videogames (also) do get “older” so the “retro” bar tends to raise.

    GustavoM ,
    @GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

    Curiosity, mostly. And Ubuntu giving away freebies.

    Took me a couple years to get out of the “Why change a winning team?” mentality and my baby duck syndrome.
