Bro is like thanos at the beginning of endgame.

I never used them when i was still using a DE, but now as a tiling window manager user i use them all the time, since the point of those is that windows are placed in a layout and don’t overlap, so after opening like 3 windows max, it gets too cramped for my taste and i move to a different workspace.

Are you using any custom launch options? I’ve had this happen sometimes when i tried running a game with gamemode, but then it turned out my gamemode was broken, and when that happens it doesn’t start your game at all and it just stops immediately after gamemode exits with an error.

Better yet, what’s wrong with ext4 lol

Year of the linux phone?

Why the downvotes? It’s correct. Otherwise logind wouldn’t have had to be forked and turned into elogind.

I’ve personally always been of the opinion that it’s great to have so many different options, and i also never understood why people get so stressed about choosing a distro. You can always switch to something else later if you find something better, but first you need to find out your likes and dislikes about a distribution to begin with. Pewdiepie said in his linux video “just pick one!”, and that’s how i went about it as well. When i saw an LTT video about trying linux instead if windows 11, they recommended PopOS, so that’s what i chose. Ended up trying a bunch of different ones later, and as of right now i’m on Void linux.

Good old nano is something i use a lot, although i am considering finally giving micro a try, heard a lot of good things about it, and i want something with a bit more features in the terminal, but i really hate vim keybinds. I also really like rmpc, which is an mpd client with album art support, though i am not using it anymore at the moment because i realized mpd wasn’t really what i was looking for when it comes to music players.

Edit: also want to mention cyanrip. Really good cli cd ripper with a lot sane defaults, easy to use, and in terms of accuracy probably the closest thing to EAC on windows.

s-tui is also great. It’s a tui stress testing utility. I still use it every now and then even if it’s just to test if my fan curve is actually working by putting some load on the cpu.

So far i haven’t come across something better than odysee. It has a community, but like most alternatives for larger platforms, the userbase is smaller, and often times i’ll also find some unhinged conspiratorial comments on there that are kinda off putting to me lol.

Yeah just create a git repo or something, or if you think that’s overkill for your needs you can just make sure to backup the config to a external ssd or usb.

Couldn’t you just keep a live iso on a usb stick for this?

Cause atleast it’s not chrome

I felt the same way regarding AI. I always felt like it was too unreliable, and while you obviously shouldn’t trust it blindly, it has been doing a pretty good job explaining things to me. I’ve been using a local model with ollama, i think it’s called qwen2.5 coder or something, and it has been helpfull explaining some NixOS stuff to me, where i couldn’t find it myself (cause NixOS documentation is all over the place). I also use it for explaining some bash stuff to me sometimes when i’m writing a script. Usually i don’t just care about the answer but i also want to learn why something works if it isn’t clear to me, and so far it also has done a good job explaining how it works when i ask it a follow up question.

Ah i see, i had no idea lol. In that case i stand corrected since he probably knows better than i do. I think the term immutable is causing a lot of confusion, because i also see a lot of other sources online label bazzite as immutable. And then ofcourse there are other projects that use the term composable, or atomic. I guess i fell victim to that confusion as well now.

Pretty sure bazzite is immutable, it is based on silverblue after all. But that’s besides the point, i just wanted to point out that you probably misunderstood what he was saying. Immutable distros being mainstream kinda depends on how you look at it i suppose. Purely in terms of amount of users, with steamos and bazzite being so popular, i guess you could consider it mainstream, but how many people actually choose a distro because it is immutable? Steamos just happens to ship with the steam deck, bazzite is popular because it mimicks steamos for other devices, and if you look at something else like NixOS, it’s more about the system being declarative rather than immutable. It’s probably safe to say that flatpak is the most popular third party package manager though, i do agree with that.

What? He said “in order to go mainstream”, referring to immutable distros like bazzite.

I don’t think that would work. The reason for things like flatpak and snaps to exist is because they don’t interfere with the host package manager. Combining debs and rpms would be a disaster. Unless it would be possible to create a package manager that can track all of those different formats, but i don’t know about that.

I think he was referring to immutable distros not being mainstream, not flatpaks.

Had me in the first half

I used to install it with bottles and it seemed to work fine (but i haven’t really played it apart from testing if it worked), but bottles gave me some issues as of late so i decided to install the ea launcher as a non steam game. It didnt work with regular proton but after using ge-proton the game booted just fine. I now have a weird issue where jedi fallen order doesn’t work though. Tried both bottles and steam, but the game immediately crashes with an unreal engine error. It’s weird because i have played it in the past on linux just fine.
