Definitely Not GustavoM. :^)

  • Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

    Why "we" should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a "free" ""operating system"" (Not absolutely free, but at least way more "free" than Windows) -- learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

  • It could be (pretty much) any distro you want -- considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a "one stop shop" experience.

    Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the "real thing"? When you have "obscure"/unsupported sbcs and you need to "make your own" version of it.

  • a lot of people i know

    So...gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

  • Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said "I'm on it" to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

  • software problems

    Not having "out of the box" support does not make it a problem tho.

    quality of distros

    All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

  • It's pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn't go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it's perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

  • As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I'm using it as a "lab rat" by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)....? Nah.

  • You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a "game" itself and DU ET NAO!

    ...no really. Do it.

  • ...and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

  • I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.

  • .dotfiles on github

    Big/critical files on an external HD

    simple as

  • There is always firejail which is very "even your mom can use it" in terms of usage.

    e.g install it, type cd / && sudo firecfg, then your password and thats it.

  • Not by the slightest.

    You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix

    -EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh... it'll give you a nice idea regardless.

    I actually created a new image with it -- docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix

  • Nice! Hope you have fun with it.

  • Oh yeah? Then redo the classic doom code in pure bash.

  • I'll try it on my Orange pi zero 3 just for giggles.

    -EDIT- I just did (straight from their site), and welp... 5 minutes to load a map, lots of stuttering yet performance was okay'ish ( ~25 frames per second). Not bad for a little board with only 1 GiB of ram and the power draw capped at 2W.

    -EDIT2- Nvm that, I grabbed the binary, ran it locally and the experience was much, much better. Absolutely playable.

  • Ub(loa)tu tries to cater to everyone whilst ending up in pleasing no one -- it has too much unnecessary clutter.
