The more I hear about Android 15,
the less excited I get for it…

Rikj000 , 18 days ago

Spying on you :P

That’s why I replaced it with MicroG:
microg.org

Rikj000 , 1 month ago

Happily been using it for a few years by now.

The enhanced privacy, extension and about:config support are great features to have.

Wayland might be the future,
but today we’re still living in the present…

I was a fan, and tried Wayland,
but it took less then 24hrs before I switched back to X.

Just too many random bugs remain in Wayland rn…

E.g:

• Grayed out screen under HDR
• LookingGlass unable to boot in fullscreen
• Some program icons replaced with Wayland icon when running
• …

You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that’s what I do.

You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:

• Desktop: Invidious + Piped
• Android: Newpipe + Tubular

My “nExT gEn” update experience:

1. Get baited to re-play Fallout 4 through the new TV show + Next Gen update
2. Be disappointed since the graphics aged like milk + Official HD texture DLC sucks
3. Be disappointed since the update broke nearly all mod support
4. Roll back to the release before the Next Gen update + Uninstall the Official HD texture DLC
5. Install 205 mods, and happily play with nearly everything in 4K

FYI, most mods I installed are from:

• The Midnight Ride:
  themidnightride.moddinglinked.com
• ESO-UI High End:
  eso-ui.com/fallout4-high-end/

Rikj000 , 4 months ago

Currently at 30ish hours and still enjoying it.

Reminded me that Bethesda does release some great / huge games.

Albeit quite bugged at release,
but since they (usually) embrace the modding scene, lots of this can be / has been patched and even improved by the community.

The Next Gen update is a stupid cash-grab though, and imo should have never happened…

An official modpack would have been much better.

Rikj000 , 4 months ago

Correct me if I’m wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:

• Proprietary pieces in their code
• Telemetry (spyware)
• Snap packages by default

Rikj000 , 4 months ago

Suyu is the most popular + actively developed afaik.
suyu.dev

They host their code on their own Forgejo instance:
git.suyu.dev/explore/repos

Which is more DMCA proof then Github/Gitlab.

I hope ForgeFed will go into production soon,
then we can synchronize the code in between multiple Forgejo instances in a federated fashion.
codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

Rikj000 , 4 months ago

• Forgejo: But ForgeFed, it’s federation software is still under development
• Radicle: But they have unnecessary ties with crypto stuff

Imo cuz people are too PC (Politically Correct) buthurt lately.

I’d even flip the tables, and call it racist if you won’t allow other races to dress up / admire your own race.

Ofc doing it to make fun / be a dick about other races is not okay.

Rikj000 , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

Imagine white people calling a black woman racist for dressing up like Marilyn Monroe, that’s bs.

Or black people calling a white child racist for wanting to dress up like Martin Luther King, since the child sees him as a hero of the past.

It all comes down to your acts when you’re dressed up, or the people you dress up as.

Those can be either offensive,
or innocent.

I guess a little inflation is good,
to prevent all money from ending up in a single party’s hands.

However that’s the only upside I could think of, other then that I fully agree with you.

Central/regional banks “printing” money, through bonds and fractional banking, is blatant stealing from people who worked / saved in the past imo. Since it leads to inflation / devaluation of the currency.

Is that shit finally banned?
Never signed up, but happy to see that brain rotting app go away.

But I wouldn’t stop there, imo all GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft) spyware should get the boot.

Rikj000 , 4 months ago

No matter the nationality,
spyware is not okay…

Never has been, never will be.
It’s a form of oppression,
and an invasion upon your rights (to privacy).

Nintendont,
the lawsuit company that makes games on the side, strikes again…

We’re well beyond the point by now of me ever buying anything from them again.
I won’t support such behavior of any company.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

Did not know that,
however it won’t make me change up my mind about Nintendont.

All their previous lawsuites and takedowns against the modding and emulation communities, where not fake, nor trolls, and made me despise them.

I’m using Looking-Glass to share my mouse/keyboard/audio between host and client:
looking-glass.io

And USB-Libvirt-Hotplug to pass through USB devices to the KVM on the fly:
github.com/olavmrk/usb-libvirt-hotplug

Hope these will prove useful to you :)

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Ah sorry that wasn’t clear to me,
thought you where talking about KVMs as in Kernel Virtual Machines :)

Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:
github.com/Metastem/wikiless

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

I mean same applies to the Chinese,
but wanting to look good in an oppressive system, does not mean you actually like to be oppressed by said system.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Why?

It has been my main distro for years now,
and I have only enjoyed the experience.

2 points you’ll likely mention which do not make it a bad distro:

• The certificate of their website expired twice
• If you use AUR packages,
  sometimes you need to wait with an update since they hold back official repo packages for a few weeks to ensure stability, which AUR packages might depend on.

Stop the distro hate,
it divides the Linux community…
Instead we should unify against M$/iFruit,
and let people use whatever distro they like.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

For me the experience has been:

• Stable
• Easy to use
• Enjoyed all the Arch niceness in the meantime.

Which imo makes it a good distro,
idiots would not make a good distro…

Sure the people behind it made some doubtful decisions in the past, but that doesn’t change the fact that using it has been a bliss.

Additionally, it’s all open source,
so if they would ever turn anti-consumer,
it can be forked into another distro.

As I mentioned earlier, stop the distro hate.
I’m not throwing acquisitions against other distros, instead I let people enjoy whatever flavor of Linux they desire…

By now I helped a fair amount of Arch and other distro users through Lemmy / AUR / Issues, and I also learned a fair amount of Arch / Manjaro and other distro users.

Linux is not the enemy here,
not a single flavor…

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

I went with Manjaro due to the way they do their package releases.

Arch is bleeding edge,
a double edged sword if you ask me,
all the latest versions,
and all the bugs that come along with them.

I’m looking for stability in my daily driver though.

Manjaro keeps releases a few weeks back on their stable branch.
And tests the releases first on their unstable and testing branches.
Resulting in near bleeding edge with enhanced stability on the stable branch.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Yes/no.

I lived without YouTube / a Google account for years.

But I still use YouTube through a privacy respecting frontend:
www.privacyguides.org/en/frontends/#youtube

I usually go for:

• On desktop: Invidious or Piped
• On Android: Tubular or NewPipe

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

• Communication: Matrix
• Browsing: I2P
• Communities: ActivityPub / Mastodon
• Software Forge: Fogejo + ForgeFed
• OS: Linux
• Money: Monero

Since they meet at least one of,
if not all of the following:

• Decentralized / Federated
• Sensorship resistant
• Privacy respecting
• Open source

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Update your system frequently,
that minimizes the chance of things breaking in my experience.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Your comment is my reasoning why I use Manjaro :P

All the Arch niceness,
with fewer bugs / breakage
and easier to use.

Sure you might get an issue from outdated dependencies from AUR packages from time to time, but the chance / impact of those is usually rather small.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Waydroid is made for Wayland.

You can however run it on X-Server,
through a Wayland session window
(e.g. KWin_Wayland, Cage, Weston, …):
docs.waydro.id/…/setting-up-waydroid-only-session…

I wrote a tool to help improve the user experience on X-Server,
however currently it only supports KDEs Kwin_Wayland:

High resolution neofetch image? 👀
If that’s not a distro specific thing,
then please teach me how 😄

Oh I see, thank you!
Will definitely play around with that tomorrow :)

Why would one trust a VPN of a spy-ware company?

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Well I’m not against No-Log VPNs,
I use them on the daily myself.

However using a VPN of a spy-ware company kinda defeats the purpose.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/

At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.

For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

For me it works very well,
see my comment here:
discuss.tchncs.de/comment/8950112

However I don’t play anything with kernel based anti-cheat, so can’t vouch for that

Rikj000 , 5 months ago

It does run Photoshop smoothly on my setup :)

Back when I did my setup,
there wasn’t a clear guide on the matter though, and it was rather hard to setup.

If you’re interested, I can link you all my bookmarks on the matter which I made back then though, however none of them were for Fedora / Nvidia specific.

For the pass-through mode,
I use VFIO (Virtual Function Input Output) with kernel / grub configurations, to always dedicate one of my 2 GPUs for the KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine).

You’d be looking for hot-plugging/hot-swapping your GPU instead, to un-attach your GPU from Linux and re-attach it to your Windows KVM when it boots.
Back when I was setting up my system, this was not possible on AMD yet due to a bug (Can’t vouch for Nvidia or if the AMD bug is fixed by now though)
