They tried that with Windows 8. It didn’t go over very well.

Is anyone surprised at this point?

I personally like this, so as far as I’m concerned, yes.

In the earlier days of Plasma 6, it would crash on me when waking from sleep, so I had a small script that would basically restart plasmashell when waking so I didn’t have to wait the several seconds for the system to realize that it was frozen before I had a functional desktop.

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm asking what big motivational factors contributed to you into going Linux full-time. I don't count minor inconveniences like 'oh, stutter lag in a game on windows' because that really could be anything in any system. I'm talking, something Windows or Microsoft has done that was so big, that made you go "fuck this, I will go...

popekingjoe ,

The final straw for me was Microsoft reinstalling software I had removed with updates, as well as installing crapware like Candy Crush, all in the background and without permission or notifying me. I left Windows back in August 2021 for Arch.

Until recently I had kept a Windows VM with a GPU passthrough set up until I decided I was done with Destiny 2. Now the only remnant of Windows in my life is a simple desktop in my living room that has a game I can only play on Windows, which is currently being ported to PS5. Once that port is released, it’ll be converted to a server running some atomic distro and become a fully dedicated server, and Windows will be fully removed from my life, ignoring PCs outside of my control like embedded systems.

My company has a robot scrubber that runs a custom Linux distribution.

@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

That is really cool.

popekingjoe , (edited )
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a floor scrubbing robot. It uses LIDAR, a 3D depth camera, and a couple 2D side cameras to map and navigate its routes. It was cool for about six months and now we just default to manual driving because it’s slow and gets stuck very often.

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Man I wish it was that cool. Controlling it remotely would be primo. Unfortunately, it’s not, and I work in a building that’s 183,000sqft. If I have it running automatically on the other side of the building and it gets stuck, I’m suddenly burning time to run over and unstuck it.

This is more of a horror story than a sad one.

Oh yes very!

Proton releases a self-custody bitcoin wallet | Proton Wallet is open source and has been audited by a third-party firm, the company said (techcrunch.com)

Proton isn’t reinventing the wheel with this crypto wallet. But it’s another solid option for people looking to create a crypto wallet for the first time. However, cryptocurrencies tend to be a polarizing topic, so let’s see if Proton Wallet doesn’t hurt Proton’s brand image in the future....

But… Why? Who asked for this? Instead of stuff like this, can we get feature parity with at least the Android app when it comes to the Linux VPN app?

Help me choosing laptop

Hello i’m searching for buy a laptop, i want to set a Linux OS but i didn’t chose yet if you want u can recommend SO also, but i want a rolling release one, what i want is a laptop to carry practically everywhere, my budget is 500€ but if i like it too much it could go up to 1100, I need minimun of 16GB because when i work...

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Can second this, OP. The DYI option saved me like $350 over the pre built and it took like ten minutes in between being amazed at the packaging. They even supply the only tool you’ll need for it!

As for Linux, Fedora 39+ fully supports every aspect of the laptop OOTB. It’s a wonderful experience.

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

I tried that first, but the wifi was broken on Arch. That was several months ago though, so it might be good now, but when I first got it back in January it was not. I can vouch for Fedora though (as well as Ubuntu), since Framework endorses it (them). It’s pretty flawless.

If not for sits why is it made of warm?

Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times? (f)

I believe this is a slightly controversial topic, at least from what I have gathered so far. Some say its best to leave the server on to spare the life time of the spinning rust. Other seem to prefer to save power and boot the server off each night. So wanted to chip in and hear what folks here do and why do what you do....

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Server is on 24/7 and it has a UPS for the momentary brown outs I have during heavy winds. It would be silly if it’s off for any reason besides maintenance, even more so since it holds multiple game worlds in addition to some web and chat stuff.

I’ve flirted with Linux for years, all the way back to Fedora Core 6. I still use Windows, so 11 is my most recent version, but it’s stripped down using the AME playbook. I use it to play some games with anti-Linux anticheat. I also have a minimal Windows VM on my desktop for playing Destiny 2.

That being said, my primary computers run Arch (custom built desktop) and Fedora (Framework laptop) and I have zero intention of ever using Windows as a primary OS ever again.

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve never even heard of this game.

What do you think about translating games with questionable quality? Should such efforts be encouraged or discouraged in the gaming community?

I mean, I don’t really think so. I’m sure many people would rather another game be worked on, but who are we to tell others what to do with their time? Besides, even bad games deserve preservation, I guess.

Good luck to SnowyAria.

It is wild to me, even as I have one work app on my phone. It’s only there because it allows me to clock in and out, and my personal phone is significantly higher spec’d than the work provided phone.

Even so, I cannot be contacted via this app and cannot perform work with it outside of the geo-restricted area.

popekingjoe ,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

Man yeah I’d love that so much.
