Best daily use Tips for Desktop Linux, that make life easier but are not well known?

Jump

  • Ah, I think I've bumped into that on accident using qtile. It's been inconsistent and I assumed that had to do with the window type. It might, but I also might be using the wrong key. Thanks.

    • Ackchyually, not every Linux is a GNU Linux

    • Bethesda Reportedly Wants To Give Redfall A "Redemption Arc"

    Jump

  • This was always the inevitable result of companies driven by shareholders seeing games that were released broken later receiving inexplicable critical praise when they were hammered into something closer to the original pitch.

    • For those who don't know, here are some cool linux communities on lemmy

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing Linuxquestions. I'm new to the ecosystem but my stuff works well for my current needs, so being exposed to people's problems and the methods for approaching them is a great way to passively expand my knowledge.

    • Next Halo campaign is reportedly in development at 343 Industries

    Jump

  • The people who made halo are scattered to the wind my dude. Most of them did jump to 343, and a lot of the ones who stayed were driven off during the destiny/Activision years.

  • Confuse the system operator?

    • And no man page

  • Which assumes you also wanted to catch fire because you didn't set --halt-without-catching-fire

  • If I can't get it with tldr mysterytoolafter all that, then clearly the developer intended it to stay a mystery.

    • Least Shitty Version of Windows 8/10/11?

    Jump

  • Seconded, I didn't realize how bad Win 10 has gotten because I've used LTSC since Win 7. A far more bearable experience.

    • Microsoft changed it's data policy

    Jump

  • No that seems to be entirely about Twitter.

    • current list of formats from yesterdays post

    Jump

  • Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?

    • Thanks to everyone who suggested i play Titan fall 2

    Jump

  • It takes a little time to start introducing you to the unique parts, it feels a little afraid to alienate traditional shooter fans but once it gets rolling nothing is quite like it.

    • i find it's a great tool.

    Jump

  • I think people like that view Linux as some kind of fiefdom rather than a community of individuals.

    • What was Elon Musk’s strategy for Twitter? A fired Trump White House staffer offers a tantalizing clue

  • My vote also goes to qtile. Easily configured and very capable.

    • I'm probably going to get a lot of explanations in the comments

    • Grand Theft Auto 6 fans have become so desperate for information they've convinced themselves that the moon is teasing an upcoming reveal

    • Is there a proper way to offload video workload to iGPU/APU?

    Jump

  • I do this. It's part of a GPU passthrough setup, but in practice there aren't many applications that require PRIME offload. I don't use it for web browsers where I watch a lot of videos. I haven't used VLC in a little bit but I'm pretty sure I don't use it there either. Games and graphical applications. If I was doing video editing or modeling I would probably want it there too.

    • Why do you use Linux?

    Jump

  • Windows 11 is a bridge too far. I'm done with having my operating system being sold to me as a service, or monetizing my usage. Windows 10 was already unusable in any format other than LTSC.

    The strides we've seen in gaming on Linux are possible largely with Valve's support, and I might have made the jump earlier if we had those abilities sooner. Dual booting has never been a realistic use case for a computer given the way I use one.

    I try to protect my privacy as best I can. I prefer the use of open source software where I can get it. Libre is even better. My reasons are both practical and ideological. But I don't live in a world where I can reasonably cut out all proprietary software, and I honestly wouldn't consider trying. There are far more important fights in my world.
