China rule...?
I mean, there's always your own, if you want to
No no, you don't get it. Windows has problems, but switching to Linux would be like leaving your home country because you don't like its political trends. Where's your OS patriotism? There's no need for Linux, because you can just keep using Windows and hope Microsoft ends up doing what's best for their customers products :)
I'm paraphrasing here, but that's an actual thing the CEO and founder of Epic Games posted on Twitter: https://nitter.net/timsweeneyepic/status/964284402741149698
I'd rather just have it working properly inside a browser, instead of it telling me that it has this neat cross-platform app, which turns out to just be Electron. On mobile that can be fine, but I dislike it on Desktop, personally.
Do excuse me if this is false, I have never actually worked with Electron on the developer side myself, however I don't believe it offers anything you couldn't do through a normally provided website. I know for example Discord only allows screen sharing in the desktop app, however I've also seen websites which allow screen sharing, so that seems more like an arbitrary restriction than anything. I mean, in the end it's just a dedicated Chromium install for one single website, so where is the need to force the website onto your pc?
I get that, but any extensive cheat sheet would just wrap around to being an inefficient man page
-help is the quick sheet, man is the extensive guide
Cheat sheets are man pages and the -help option on most commands
Those exist already
Once you can do both, you can bet your ass I will :3
Bleh, consume sounds like an icky word here. But if you want to set up an RSS Feed, get an RSS reader (I personally use NewsFlash, but use whatever you like) and then simply add feeds to it. You can find them on quite a few sites, the icon looks kind of like a wifi symbol. Optionally you could also just install a plugin like Awesome RSS, which automatically finds feeds on the site you're currently on, which can be useful if it's kinda hidden on the site itself
As much as I theoretically agree, I can immediately think of two problems:
- The storefronts would have to communicate
It's against their own interest to do this. Imagine you buy all your games on Steam because of the sales (although the creators of the game of course decide the prices, but still) and then play them on your Xbox. No profit at all for Microsoft, yet they're the ones providing all the additional services like the actual game hosting, friends system, etc. It's not much by any means, but it does add up. The money all goes to Valve. You could even buy the games via the Steam mobile app if you don't even own a PC. Also, even if they were theoretically fine with this, even coordinating it would be a pain. Since you could put a game on the Google Play Store, the App Store, hell maybe even F-Droid, Epic Games, GoG, Steam, the Xbox Store, and the Play Station store, and I am absolutely certain I forgot multiple other options, all of them would need to be able to communicate and decide on if you actually own the game. This would be a logistical and technical nightmare.
- Companies would just sell mildly different versions and claim it's a new game
You know how for example Undertale has a slightly special Nintendo Switch version where there's... I can't even remember, but I think it's an additional boss. That's just something small and cute, but let's go with the GTA example. I have played about five hours of 5 and dropped it, so excuse me if this isn't the best theoretical example, but let's say the PS5 and Series X/S get the base game. Then the PS6 and new Xbox get maybe five additional cars and the game they're selling is GTA 6 Expanded. Afterwards on switch (although by that time Nintendo's new console would've released) you get blue and red weapon skins or whatever and it's GTA 6 Switched Up. And then finally on PC you get the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition with expanded settings, better graphics, and maybe five more cars on top of those from GTA 6 Expanded. These are all technically not the same game, so you would not be able to claim them. Sure, you could argue they're similar, but where is the exact line? That's quite impossible to figure out - is it a cheated rehash or a mediocre remaster? Who knows
I've already considered Debian, but... I dunno, this isn't what I'd call the most logical reason, but I just kinda don't like it as my desktop OS. I'd use Debian over basically anything else for a server, but as a desktop OS I don't like the vibe.
Keep in mind, I started using Linux this summer and in a few years I'll probably look back at this wondering why I was such an idiot, but I gotta fall and get a bloody nose first to notice ;3
Huh, I never expected anyone to recommend Arch to me because you have to tinker too much with an alternative distro. I thought simplicity was the reason why people liked NixOS, no?
Sorry, I should've checked before posting
A quick reverse image search suggests it's from the Webtoon "Monsters and Girls" made by Idolmantises
Are you male or female?
My dad is male and my mom is female, so basically, I'm mixed
Because of course the arch wiki has the info needed. I should've just checked there from the start, thanks!
Huh, neat. On my current EOS Desktop PC it's a bit too late to uninstall everything and reinstall it as a Flatpak, but I'll keep that in mind for new Linux installs. Thank you :3
Excuse me if this is a bit of a dumb question, as I have never particularly worried about packaging methods and simply installed what I needed from the official Arch packages or AUR, but how does Flatpak lead to fewer updates? I know it sandboxes things, that's why I've been interested in it for applications I don't quite trust like Discord, but I never got around to actually switching applications of that sort over and trying the format out.
Speaking of Discord, hooking that out of the "normal packages", aka everything I update via yay, would be beneficial anyways, since it's the only thing that forces me to update my system by saying how I'm oh so lucky about a new update coming out and I don't wanna mess with partial system updates. That's kinda besides the point though, I just wanted to complain.

And, put simply, that is entirely fair.
While I personally deem Windows to be worth not much more than the sum of its software and hardware support, that is certainly an important factor for many. I would encourage many people to at least attempt to use Linux, as Microsoft's monopoly on non-apple pcs is rather worrying, and they may even prefer Linux completely disregarding that factor, as I did, but you have clearly tried and figured out it doesn't work for you. Depending on the distro Linux can satisfy developers, average computer users, at this point even many gamers, but creative support is clearly lacking and if you need it then that's the final word on that.
While I encourage you to take another look in half a decade, or maybe a full one, please remember that people here on Lemmy are rather... preachy about Linux. So you're gonna get backlash for that decision, no matter how much sense it makes. Please do not let that behavior taint your view of Linux as a whole <3
Or in other words: Every OS has its advantages, I'm happy you found the right one for you at the moment, do give Linux another shot eventually, but for now just ignore the people telling you you're wrong or that there's some kind of easy fix for your multitude of issues and don't let that annoy you :3
I bought an HP Envy, one of these convertible laptop thingies, when I didn't know any better. The hinge broke about a month after the warranty expired. Repair costs (at a local repair shop, but still) were like 200€ because apparently I had to buy a whole new top cover for the damn repair to work
Anyways, I'm gonna buy a Framework laptop next because fuck going through that again
Personally, instead of Tmux, I'd recommend trying Zellij. I started with Zellij right out of the gate, but a friend of mine who dislikes Tmux a lot quite enjoyed Zellij, so I assume it's somewhat better.
Of course I can't entirely generalize from this, however my 2080Ti worked perfectly out of the box on EndeavourOS. Game performance is also mostly similar to my Windows install - if they ran well, they still do, and if they ran badly, then the same goes for that as well.
You can't just throw that into a machine translator and call that a translation. Well, I mean, you can... but that makes it seem like what you wrote there is correct, if you don't add the required context that you don't actually know the language you just translated there.
"Schwachmat" basically just means "idiot" and "weak mate" is not even remotely close to what was being said there.
