Its not a complete list but check out https://distrosea.com/

Its called surveillance capitalism.

Microsoft is first and foremost a company that aims to profit on the data it can gather.

If you are working on a pi, you have to pay attention to the architecture that a distro supports.

As someone that tends to learn most by doing. Most of these comments are excellent my only suggestion is to try it. Most Linux distros come with live images which you dont need to install to test out.

Just download the ISO and put it on a USB and then boot from the usb. You can even make a multiboot USB with ventoy.

Or you can use distrosea to demo a distro in a browser.

I also highly suggest using the arch wiki for research. It will probably go into much more depth than you need at first but it will also not dumb things down or over simplify things for you so you might actually learn. Take this doc on what a DE is for instance, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment

Thank you for both the correction and source. I will be using this in the future.

Someone please correct me if im wrong because I’m too lazy to look it up, but I was told goodwill is for profit.

Here is HurricanePootis pinned comment in the AUR.

So, I am going to pin this post.

For now, I am pointing this package to https://git.naxdy.org/Mirror/Ryujinx as it has tags, which is useful for this package.

I am against deleting this package, as with yuzu and citra, forks will arise and then these packages will be resurrected (sometimes by less skilled maintainers cough cough citra). Therefore, I am going to keep an eye out to see where Ryujinx development goes, and go on from there.

Its a ploy in that people assume they are eating fruit and not some kind of pulp that’s next to the actual fruit. Jackfruit rags don’t sound too tasty so they leave it out purposefully. I understand but wouldn’t mind if they invented another word to use so if I actually serve jackfruit fruit to people it’s not weird for them by how different it is from the rags.

I still think it’s strange that the seeds aren’t also marketed as edible. Its kinda like potato once boiled so I guess potatoes are just easier to use in a large scale.

You might be thinking of a durian? The bulbs are hollow once you remove the seed in them.

Through three cheese trees three free fleas flew. While these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew. Freezy breeze made these three trees freeze. Freezy trees made these trees’ cheese freeze. That’s what made these three free fleas sneeze.

As someone who loves Jackfruit, i think the actual fruit bulb of one is much too sweet for a pizza topping.

What you are talking about is actually a byproduct of the fruit which is called the rags. Which can be cooked and eaten, as well as the seeds. Although in my opinion the seeds are much tastier than the rags, just boil them till soft. get yourself a fresh jackfruit and try it.

I think it’s great that we can find ways to eat more parts of the jackfruit, but the fact that most Americans think that jackfruit is just the rags and not the actual fruit means that they never had a fresh one and instead fell for a marketing ploy.

Didn’t know that the dreamcast version was superior. I’ll have to check that out.

I could be wrong but I don’t think that the decomp/recomp tools are available for Dreamcast the way they are for n64. Like if I want a game to run natively on Linux without an emulator whike doing things like raytracing then it seems like the n64 games would be where I’d have to start.

Unless there are decomp/recomp tools for the dreamcast?

How easy is it to decomp these games? I really want to play Star Wars Episode I: Racer on Linux with raytracing and all that.

OK but have you ran x11 on Ubuntu inside WSL from the Windows terminal?

WSL is the only way I’ll use Windows for work.

Repositories can and should be mirrored to multiple places.

The main repo should probably be isolated in some way. Like maybe a self-hosted Gitea instance which then mirrors all commits to a public facing repo like github.

I do this with all my projects that I care about since I asked myself what was the cost of using github if it wasn’t money.

The documentation should also be stored separately from code in its own repo so that it can be hosted as a static website easily.

And there are so many options for CI/CD that you don’t have to get vendor locked into github actions.

Edit: I haven’t tested mirroring issues. But it should be possible.

After a man date, I like to do a man touch and man mount.

I’m on EndeavourOS with an Nvidia gpu. I’ve not had to do anything extra for the the version of proton that comes with steam to work besides install the os with the Nvidia proprietary drivers. And then running eos-update --aur --nvidia

I did notice that I got a lot of screen tearing if using Wayland and that more recent versions of proton didn’t work if either Force Composition Pipeline or Force Full Composition Pipeline were enabled; which should have fixed the screentearing so I just use x11 for now.

There are some things I did to make my experience better however. Like installing an proton-ge. Here is a list of what I installed.

nvidia-dkms
nvidia-settings
libva-nvidia-driver # required by vlc to play mkv files with nvidia gpu
nvidia-tweaks # https://github.com/ventureoo/nvidia-tweaks
lib32-nvidia-utils
gamemode
proton-ge-custom-bin
lib32-libudev0-shim # fixes Steam runtime's super old 32 bit version of libnm
lib32-libnm # required if using systemd 253.5-2 or newer

I would also install nvidia-dracut-hook if you are using both Nvidia and dracut. Dracut is the default on recent versions on endeavorOS.

For proton ge, I also added myself to the games group with

sudo usermod $USER -a -G games

I also like to prepend the following to my games launch options in steam

gamemoderun PROTON\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr PROTON\_ENABLE\_NVAPI=1 PROTON\_HIDE\_NVIDIA\_GPU=0 VK\_ICD\_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia\_icd.json VKD3D\_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr VKD3D\_DISABLE\_EXTENSIONS=VK\_KHR\_present\_id,VK\_KHR\_present\_wait VKD3D\_FEATURE\_LEVEL=12\_1 VKD3D\_SHADER\_MODEL=6\_6

And I set proton-ge as my default proton version on the steam options.

It should be, but I’ve had too many issues with windows somehow updating and ruining my boot partion/grub.

If I want to run windows, I only run it on a VM with hardware passthrough or on a totally different machine since physically unseating my Linux M.2 from the motherboard is too much hassle and I don’t want to move it to a PCIe card.

I’ve played this a lot with my daughter and while it has some great moments, the actual Lego building in this game is really wonky with a controller. It’s a bit easier with a keyboard and mouse bit it’s still leaves something to be desired.

The rest of the game is great though.
