What desktop enviroment do you use and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 4 points 2 weeks ago

On my main laptop I use KDE, it's smooth and gets the job done. On my tablet, I use GNOME. It runs well, and is touch-optimized. On my other laptop, I use gnome for no particular reason.

I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks in c/technology@lemmy.world

I bought two of these a few years ago and they are really reliable. USB 2.0 so they are slow as shit, but I still use them to install linux.

Do Linux distros and BSDs recommend using the command line to set up bootable USBs because most machines should be able to do it without additional software? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

validating the integrity of the installation

The ISO file should be validated, and many installation medias check hashes.

it can be disastrous if you don't pay attention to what you type in

Valid point, even I get nervous when entering dd.

I don't think that dd alone should be used as a backup

Absolutely it shouldn't. I said primitive backups, which are not a replacement for things like snapshots. DD backups are space-inefficient, easily corruptible, and often result in broken systems.

Already switched to linux. I still have one windows drive that I haven't booted for about a year. Haven't relied on virtual machines or anything.

Wear OS in c/android@lemdro.id
[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemdro.id 3 points 1 month ago

I bought a wear os watch deliberately because I thought I would enjoy modifying and customizing it like a regular android phone. In reality, I don't use it much more than for fitness tracking. I'm going to buy a garmin instinct and not change for the next 4 years.

What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yeah it's a great game in every aspect...

It's answers just don't feel as good as chatgpt. Sometimes they are incorrect, and sometimes they are lackluster.

I don't understand how people can use Gemini. I have always had bad experiences with it.

DDG does have its issues like giving me random news articles from my area if it cant find anything relevant...

I miss old mrwhosetheboss who was more technically knowledgeable. He was talking about android modifications like roms that he probably would never talk about today.

Open-bar has to be my favourite Gnome extension in a while in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This looks nice but what license does it use?

I feel like for the most part though using something like balenaEtcher is so much easier.

Take 5 minutes to learn to use DD, and you'll never need to install etcher again. Also DD can do primitive backups of drives, and so much more.

Libre Tactical shooter (lemdro.id)
 

Anyone know of some libre tactical shooters? I really can't find anything, just wanted to ask the community if they knew of anything. Closest i've found is either Unvanquished or Assaultcube. At this point of my search, I'm ready to accept that there might not be a game.

Is this an accurate diagram? (www.delock.com)

Edit: It is! I got the WiFi replaced and functional.

I need a confirmation that this is an accurate diagram, I have a A+E-key WiFi adapter, and I need to use it to replace a E-key WiFi adapter. I cannot find much information about compatibility, and need some confirmation before I stick my adapter in a type-e slot.

Poll: What is your definition of "base" Android? (app.pollmea.com)
 

I've made this poll due to a debate over the definition of "base" Android. I consider it to be the AOSP, but I would like other's inputs on it. Thanks for voting!.

KDE menu doesnt work... (lemdro.id)
 

So... I just set my keyboard in KDE settings to Dell Latitude(i have a dell latitude) and now i can press the volume keys and they work, and pressing fn lets me press F* keys. But, my menu doesn't open. I've set it to alt+f1, alt+volume mute, and meta+a, but no luck. I am on plasma 5.24.7, using trisquel gnu/linux(triskel variant). I am using X11.

thanks for the help!

Somehow snapchat for web doesn't support firefox 🤦 (lemdro.id)
 

I know I can spoof my useragent, it's just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn't support an equally massive browser.

Just Cause 4 only runs well with Lutris (lemdro.id)
 

As the title says, I want to play the Epic Games version of Just Cause 4. I have got the same version of wine as the version Lutris uses - wine-ge-8.26 - and I've copied the wine prefix to get the same files exactly. I run Just Cause 4, and on Lutris is runs at an easy 60fps on High, but from the CLI it runs at about 20fps on Low. Anyone have an idea for why this happens?
