I'm pretty sure the BattleNet client (Blizzard client) works. I've played Overwatch on Linux before. Not sure about the other launchers but if its a Steam game, generally launchers aren't a big deal? Anti-cheat is usually the problem (e.g. Valorant).

I use NVIDIA on Linux and it's really not bad at all. I have zero issues with it and I'm likely to stick with NVIDIA for production reasons (sorry AMD).

Some new games worked surprisingly well on Linux like Elden Ring after they fixed the anticheat issue. I heard it ran better than on Windows because of DXVK or something.

I'm going to suggest Linux Mint as a beginner distro. Maybe Arch/EndeavourOS but only because I think the AUR makes life so much easier.

Disk space is a bit of a concern since I started hosting this instance. The Lemmy database is 12.2GB and pictrs is 1.8GB after a little over a month. I set all images to convert to WEBP and scale down to save on disk space but the database is growing pretty fast. From my understanding, they already fixed this and we're just waiting for 0.18.3 to release.

Poor relationships, college struggles, and mental health problems.

Thanks Yoda.

!animepiracy@lemmy.ml

but that's kind of dead right now.

Check out piracy.moe or the Piracy Megathread.

edit: I forgot !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. This one is pretty active.

Surprisingly a good writeup that details most of the features of both platforms while being forgiving of their flaws.

Really love seeing all the 2D work done in Blender. I've used it twice for a few projects before and I hope to get into it more soon!

None. YouTube is still the best for uploading anything and being able to monetize it with ads.

Maybe consider selling it as stock footage?

Akira (1988) for 2D animation.

Though now that I'm re-reading your post body, it seems that the actual poster doesn't really matter?

If I had to select a few for the genres (without looking at their posters and just purely from what I think are iconic films for each genre), then:

• Indiana Jones for Action/Adventure (to be fair, very iconic posters)
• Monty Python for Comedy
• Shawshank Redemption (or Citizen Kane if you prefer older classics) for Drama
• Toy Story for 3D animation
• Akira (or Spirited Away, but if you prefer Western then Lion King is another good classic) for 2D animation
• 2001: A Space Odyssey (or Star Wars if that's more of your thing, very iconic posters) for Sci-Fi
• The Silence of the Lambs for Thriller (very iconic poster too)
• The Lord of the Rings trilogy for Fantasy

They're mostly American/Hollywood films but that's what most people would identify as iconic. There are a lot of other iconic films from other regions too such as French, Italian, Soviet, and Japanese films that I think may not be as iconic depending on your region but they're just as good and maybe even better. 400 Blows (French) is a pretty iconic Drama film for example.

I have to sort by "New" because "Hot" is almost always broken. I get posts from two years ago :/ If I sort by "New" however, some of the posts are pretty... eh?

Thanks for clarifying.

This probably makes more sense although the issue I was experiencing earlier had similar logs as the issue I linked and others have commented on it too around the same time. I'm guessing they're related.

Interesting. Never thought of it that way.

There is a GitHub issue on it and I experienced the exact same thing with my instance. A timeout occurs and the only way to fix it is to restart it seems. Like everyone else, it's strange that it all happened at the same time.

Try Matrix or XMPP.

Do you mean decentralized or federated? I don't really see how Signal would work with something like ActivityPub where so much information is meant for public viewing.

There's also Matrix if you're looking for just decentralized and federated.

Other than Affinity, I don't know who else is competing against Photoshop in the professional space. Neither have native Linux builds.

There's also PhotoGIMP which patches GIMP to make it look like Photoshop. You can also try installing Photoshop or Affinity via WINE.

If not, why?

Neither Adobe nor Serif see Linux as a potential market. As for the open source ones, I'm guessing it's because their funding and development team isn't as big as an industrial giant like Adobe. I'm happy Blackmagic Design supports Linux to some degree and I get to have DaVinci Resolve on Linux natively. I wouldn't be on Linux if DaVinci Resolve did not work natively tbh.

Seems to be right. I dont think there's a Linux Questions community yet.

This should explain the fmhy situation:

I did not make any accurate benchmarks but I think my boot time is faster with systemd-boot as opposed to grub.
