Cinnamon is available under arch too and it’s relatively easy, getting a package into aur.

Let’s just call it a nonprofit.

You can bet your pants it does!

I learned today, that in JavaScript

But it actually is mostly the developers fault. There are weird corner cases, yes. But all game engines natively support Linux and even games that are not made for Linux will run there via Proton nearly always.

Exceptions are 95+% of the time due to anti cheat and like 2% due to a self written engine, that does exceptionally cursed stuff even for windows.

I play lots of games regularly that were never meant to be played on Linux but work flawlessly without the developer or “contributors on ProtonDB” (whatever they have to do with that) doing anything.

Okay, your post is a bit weird, so I’ll just tell you about my setup:

I have a custom built PC for like 4 or 5 years and have Linux on there permanently for at least 2.

It has an AMD Ryzen 7 (AM4) CPU and a Nvidia 2060 Super.

I often tried new distros before the final switch. In the end I chose PopOS. For me it mostly just works.

All the core features are effectively bugless.

Games sometimes don’t work or need a little tweak in steam, but that is like one game out of 20.

BUT:
I don’t play AAA games. Like ever. I played Darktide for a month maybe and “Witcher 3” butthis is the closest I got to “real” AAA games in the last 5 years.
Indie Games nearly always “just work”.

Few examples from the last months:

• Deep Rock Galactic
• Satisfactory
• Witch It
• Factorio Space Age
• Cogmind
• Dwarf Fortress
• Ultimate Chicken Horse
• Disco Elysium
• The Last Journey
• Core Keeper
• Celeste
• Stardew Valley

They all ran fine. The one Issue I had was that steam didn’t show this DirectX-Popup and I thought the games didn’t start. But after that it all just worked.
Also sometimes mods are hard. This is mostly for games I didn’t buy on steam and that have weird community-built mod managers.

I habe another “magically solved itself” story with solution.

When I leave my PC on for a long time without needing to access it, e.g. to make a backup or some long updates, I always lock it. This ensures that the monitor turns itself off.

Or so I thought. Mostly I would only look at it, when accessing it again, since it faces away from the door. Then the screen was off.

But sometimes when I didn’t want to use it, the screen was on. This really bothered me for a long time. When I wanted to use it, the screen was off and when I didn’t, the screen was on.

Some day it just stopped happening. The screen was always off.

Just last week I found out why this all happened.
It was my phone. I have my mouse on the left side and always place my phone to the right. Except when not sitting at the desk. Then I put the phone on the left side which faces away from the wall. There it slightly shook the mouse thus activating the screen and gaslighting me. Last month I thoroughly cleaned my desk and now I don’t have to place the phone on my mousepad anymore.

But wait!
This keyboard has 45 keys and not 100 like most normal keyboards, so they cut 55%!

What does this have to do with Linux?

Okay, I cannot really help you with that, because getting Nvidia to run is hard and especially for docker it will most likely not be supported out of the box. You will probably have to install the docker drivers yourself and hope that it works. Sorry, I have an Nvidia card myself and it sucks.

Secondly: Next time be more specific with what you want, what your hardware is and what you want to do with it, because most people (like me) could not really understand, what you meant with your initial text.

Okay, what do you want?

“Quebes” maybe means QubesOS, so you are searching for an operating system, but since you mentioned problems with GPUs, you probably have Nvidia cards and to that I can only say good luck getting Nvidia cards to run with docker.

I do know that, that’s why I use FF.

But the sentence would be a lot longer if O wrote something along the lines of “To try if the website doesn’t adhere to the official web standards instead of googles own, which brave uses, since it (like most browsers nowadays) is built on top of chromium unlike Firefox, which uses the gecko engine to render websites.”

Hi there, I use nearly all the stuff you do and I am on Linux for like 2-3 years now.

I use PopOS. PopOS is a distro with a user interface that differs a bit from windows. But you will get used to it, its not like on Linux “up” is “down”.

PopOS has a lot of programs preinstalled, that help “normal users”. This includes drivers for Nvidia-GPUs and Flatpak which is a way to install software on all Linux-Systems opposed to the normal package managers, distros ship with, Flarpak e.g. has Spotify and Discord. But other distros might ship it too and you can definitely install it later on.

What you should definitely learn to use is the software-center (or App store or whatever some distros call it). This is a central place, where most software can be found and installed. Also all software installed through it can be updated here. So it’s in a way like steam for all the non-games.

I currently use (natively, so no web app or smth):

• Spotify
• Steam
• Discord
• Libreoffice (instead of MS Office)
• Gimp
• Brave (as backup browser to test if it’s Firefox’ fault)

Libreoffice is enough for day to day usage, if you are no power user with VBA-Scripts or mayor macros.

Games work mostly well, but as others have said, look at ProtonDB to check your specific Steam-Games. I mostly play single player titles or PvE stuff without the need for anticheat. Nearly all those titles work.

If a game is not on steam, you can check lutris. Lutris has install scripts for a lot of Battle.net games as well as GoG among others. There is also the heroic games launcher, but you don’t need to know all that yet.

PS: The great thing about Lemmy is that you don’t have to ask your friend, you can ask here.

PPS: If you plan to game on your PC, may I suggest some games? (All work well for me, of course)

Dwarf fortress - is a city builder/sims-like game, on steam for money or on the official website for free, but with less art.

Core Keeper - a small Indy game about digging, crafting and fighting

Deep Rock Galactic - a first person shooter with mining and fighting bugs

Factorio - an THE automation game

Disco Elysium - probably the best RPG/Detective game ever

The Long journey home - a space exploration rogue-like

Which is kinda sad in its own way.

How do you have 25 upvotes? Everything you wrote is wrong.

Linus said, that the rust infrastructure is not stable, is positive about AIs future and happy, that NVIDIA had to step up their open source game.

And even the interviewer mentioned, that the “I only care about the kernel” quote WILL be taken out of context.

And he answered even implied questions…

Linux is a tool. And I find that the best way to learn handling a new tool is making a project with it.

A book is (maybe) fine, but a project will help you use your knoweldge while you gain it.

So set up a Lemmy/Minetest/Matrix/Teamspeak server or write a bash script to change your audio output device/volume or program a simple bot in your favorite programming language or mix some music or gather a bunch of PDFs and search through them and concatenate them

And while you do that and create directories, change permissions, move files, create users or “cat” or “grep” or “sed” stuff, find out, what every single line you write in a terminal does. And instead of using a graphical program to move files, shutdown your PC or update all programs, only use the command line.

This will help you in the long run.

Fuzzel is a rofi alternative for Wayland.

This is just a Monthy Python sketch, right?

Ich bin mittlerweile so durch mit dem Ganzen, dass ich das verstehen kann.

Ich würde mir das für DE auch wünschen, wenn die Leute nicht so strunzdoof wären, nicht zu merken, dass die AfD nur gut im populistisch sein ist und ihre Wähler eigentlich sonst nur ganzheitlich zerficken würde.

Die Leute würden die ja wahrscheinlich auch noch wählen, wenn die 30 Jahre mehrheitlich im Bundestag wären und es trotzdem immer schlechter liefe (wie bei der CDU…)

Bei uns (Mitte Sachsen-Anhalt) leider schon. Im Wahllokal habe ich zumindest was in der Art:“Ich gucke einfach wo AfD steht und dann Kreuze ich da an” gehört.

Und eine Oma hatte wohl einen AfD Flyer mit weil sie sich ja sonst nicht dran erinnert, wen sie wählen wollte.

I absolutely hate people naming their program with a word that existed before. At least call it Allpaca ffs. How should I search for errors or stuff in general?
