Yes org-mode is an excellent alternative to markdown. Emacs offers a ton of features out of the box related to org-mode. However it is intrinsically tied with Emacs, so if you aren’t sure about Emacs, then I wouldn’t suggest using org-mode as a replacement just yet. I do encourage you to give it a shot though!
It was a good assumption. These days most games will work flawlessly in WINE/Proton, but the same can’t be said for other Windows software, sadly.
The Affinity suite is notoriously difficult to get working properly in WINE and/or Proton
I currently run it in a Windows 10 VM using virt-manager and the virtio drivers from RedHat to enable OpenGL acceleration on a Windows guest. It is a decent experience. Would probably be much better if I passed a USB pointer directly into the VM instead of relying on virtualization.
Haven’t tried it in WINE, and probably will never bother until the Affinity team take it seriously.
Hello! Welcome to Emacs!
Contrary to the other commenters, I would suggest starting with an out-of-the-box Emacs and only adding the things you need, as you need them.
As for your question, could you provide more detail about your expectations?
In the absence of it, I’ll give you some generic responses:
markdown-mode: https://github.com/jrblevin/markdown-modehtml-mode that is included by out of the box: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/HTML-Mode.htmlTo achieve this you will need a tiling window manager like Sway, Hyprland, or i3 and try to use as many CLI-based programs as possible for everything else. For browsers, there are projects like Nyxt (and some others I can’t remember) that allow you to use vim or emacs like shortcuts to browse around.
However most GUI apps probably won’t support an all-keyboard workflow so you will still need one. Depending on what software you use, however, you could make the vast majority of your regular computing mouse-free
Can’t speak to your other software, but battle.net and diablo 2 run great on Linux via WINE/Proton
And everyone else’s that uses Fedora?
It looks like the 5800x3D (and other AM4 cups) have been discontinued. They are going out of stock everywhere. Might be better to go with AM5 (7000 and 9000 series) at this point.
First past the post voting mathematically ensures a two party system. Voting third party is useless unless we have election reform. Vote with your mind, not your heart, and vote thinking beyond just the next 4 years.
Saw this on #emacs, been getting some use out of it. Thanks for making it!
How are you launching the exe with WINE? Try doing it via the command line if you aren’t already. That way you may get some more information about why it isn’t working. Its as simple as wine path/to/your/exe
You could also try something like Bottles, which will let you use possibly newer versions of WINE without modifying your system’s WINE.
Are you on BTRFS? If so maybe you could restore to a snapshot prior to the apt upgrade?
I’m not very familiar with Debian, but perhaps there are official “groups” of packages that comprise a set of softwares, like KDE. Perhaps you could re-install that group, if it exists?
You could also create a new user, log in as that user, and see if the issue persists. If so then you’ll know it’s a system wide issue. If not, then maybe you could migrate to the new user?
Good luck!
Great post, thanks!
It’s been working pretty well for me on GNOME 45 via Fedora 39, much fewer issues compared to GNOME 44
Completely agree, and well said
I really like them, along with all the other repetitive types of posts people make. For people who have been using Linux awhile, or have been a part of this community (or any Linux community really) they get a bit old, sure, but each new post is an opportunity for other new Linux users to learn and contribute.
I think sequestering discussion like this into nicely planned neat boxes like sticky threads or weekly discussions is harmful in the long term. While it may keep the posts in this community “clean” I believe it will reduce interest and turn away fresh blood.
I think those of us who have been using Linux awhile should embrace these posts and view them as opportunities to mentor, and as opportunities to continue to stoke the fires of interest in Linux.
I disagree with this. I tried Doom when I first started using Emacs and yes, it gets you there faster, but it’s extremely opinionated and essentially has it’s own configuration language. I found that confusing when trying to learn how Emacs works, as there is “the Emacs” way, and then “the Doom” way.
