  • Is gamedev a good hobby? or should i try something else?

    Jump

  • Do it! The barrier to entry for gamedev is ridiculously low with something like Unity or Godot, and nowadays you can make a complete game with 100% open-source tools.

  • Useful CLI tools like ffmpeg, ani-cli, yazi, etc.?

    Jump

  • My list is a bit software developer-centric, but can be useful for development-adjacent tasks too.

    • The Github CLI - great for doing routine GH work, like opening PRs or filing issues.
    • glab - ditto for Gitlab.
    • jq - JSON parsing, formatting, searching and modification.
    • pup - like jq, but for HTML pages.
    • sed - A powerful text find-and-replace tool with regular expressions.
    • scp - File transfers over SSH.
    • xargs - run a command for every line of output from another command. Great for automating manual tasks.
    • curl - make any type of HTTP (and many other protocols) request from the command line.
    • tar - compress/uncompress archive files.
    • pwgen - generate passwords with lots of options.
    • uuidgen - generate universally unique ids.
    • exiftool - read and modify image/video/audio file metadata. Good for adding/editing tags/albums/dates/etc.

  • Linux on Snapdragon X Elite: Linaro and Tuxedo Pave the Way for ARM64 Laptops

    Jump

  • Same laptop and distro here, and I agree. But still hoping to have proper sleep/hibernation, speaker/mic support and web cam in the future. It's a shame that Qualcomm and Lenovo haven't been more cooperative on hardware support.

  • Linux and Secure Boot certificate expiration

    Jump

  • Funny how Microsoft does this just before the October EOL deadline for Windows 10, when a whole bunch of hardware is being forcibly obsoleted...

    ESWIN and Canonical team up to port Ubuntu to EBC77 RISC-V SBC

  • The Hunt For The Perfect Laptop Continues

    Jump

  • Most companies still change their laptops’ keyboard layouts in random negative ways every year; ship with stupid screen resolutions, woefully bad speakers, and disappointing touchpads; and stuff the most powerful processor and GPU in there and don’t focus enough on tuning the cooling, power usage, and fan profiles.

    I don't really get these nitpicks. If you're planning to use the laptop as your daily driver, do what every other power user does and get a set of good peripherals.

  • Swapping from Win10 on laptop

    Jump

  • That's some pretty wild FUD right there.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • Oh, hi! I also use Kubuntu, but I love Snaps! I use them for everything. I even tried to use a Snap-version of the kernel, but it completely destroyed my system so I had to reinstall... but other than that, they're great.

  • Unprecedented Linux Growth in Europe Amid Windows 10 End-of-Life

    Jump

  • I've got only one machine left running Windows 10 at home: a desktop PC I use exclusively for gaming. I increasingly look forward to purging Windows from it and installing Bazzite when the EOL date comes around.

  • I switched from macos to Linux because it can't stop babying users and being unnecessarily restrictive

    Jump

  • I have to daily drive a Mac for work, and it's a constant pain. Fortunately, there are signs that the PC world is catching up with Apple hardware, most recently in the form of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 series CPUs. The Linux support isn't there yet, but it's likely just a matter of time before we too can enjoy excellent battery life and great performance.

  • Why doesn't the Linux subreddit leave Reddit already?

    Jump

  • I hear the Linux community on Microsoft GitHub is pretty big too these days.

  • Why doesn't the Linux subreddit leave Reddit already?

    Jump

  • If you have a Smart BedTM, Linux might even be in your bed.

  • [UPDATE][SOLVED] What distro would you associate with the tarot card Lucifer/Death?

    Jump

  • Oracle Linux. It makes sense in many ways.

  • Can I ignore flatpak indefinitely?

    Jump

  • Sure you can! Just run alias flatpak=snap and you'll be golden.

    (I'll show myself out...)

  • Resigning as Asahi Linux project lead

    Jump

  • Yup. Modern MacOS is only pleasant to use if you have absolutely no preferences on how your computing environment should work and am willing to completely accept the walled garden.

    Otherwise, it's a hellscape.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • Damn, that's tough. Have you heard about our lord and savior Ubuntu and it's blessed snap version of Firefox?

  • Anybody here use Asahi Linux?

    Jump

  • If you’re in the market for a new machine, there are better options in terms of affordability and usability, even if you’re specifically looking for an ARM device

    Are you thinking of Snapdragon X1 Elite/Pro laptops? I use one of those (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x) and while it's really neat, they're also lacking a lot of peripheral support and drivers at the moment.

  • Is it me or Ubuntu secretly replaces DEB Firefox with Snap Firefox?

    Jump

  • You could compile it from source yourself, and you won't even have to worry about packaging and package managers.

  • RISC-V Mainboard for Framework Laptop 13 is now available

    Jump

  • Nice! I just bought an ARM laptop and installed Ubuntu on it, only to later learn that Ubuntu package support for RISCV is even more extensive than for ARM. I guess I'll go with RISCV for my next machine.
