fin,

It’s a technical experiment to show how realistic a game can be using the latest Unreal Engine.

fin,

I’ve never tried it out but I want to install nethunter if I had a chance because it can run terminal emulators

fin,

Idk I thought something niche is better fun

fin,

Some say that KDE on Debian is unstable. Is it real?

fin,

Hmm… I wonder if Guix is ok to use with Surface

fin,

Never heard of Bunsenlabs. It looks good!

fin,

Lightweight and maybe has some “cool features”

Hannah Montana Linux – a live Linux distribution based on Kubuntu with a Hannah Montana theme. It has been created to “attract young users to Linux”.

Thanks that’s attractive

MacOS (old one like around 2012 or so) -> Windows 8 -> Windows 10 -> Several Linux on VM(Kali, Ubuntu(s), Fedora…) -> WSL1(Kali, Ubuntu) -> MacOS (with a newer OS) -> NixOS -> Void Linux ->

Now I’m currently using Void Linux, Windows 11, MacOS Sonoma.

I’m planning to put Fedora Debian (because it’s well supported by linux-surface community) on my Surface Laptop 1st gen which I’m not using right now.

fin,

Some people need everything to have a GUI. They evaporate as soon as they’re required to open the terminal.

fin,

If you’re talking about me I didn’t say that I’m one of those. I love CLI and rather hate GUI.

fin,

For example, when you want to install desktop environments, you need to use CLI. There’s no GUI option. I guess that’s why Linux is considered “difficult” for Windows/MacOS users, while they can use Chromebook, which is also Linux.

The point of original post is how zdnet is trying to let people use Linux, right?

fin,

I’ve been playing Fallout New Vegas (I got it when it’s made free on EGS) since around three days ago. I’d strongly recommend using Viva New Vegas (weird it’s not mentioned in the video) because it greatly improves the game’s overall stability.

Plus, you may notice audio cluttering while playing, especially when you’re on bluetooth headphones. Playing a video (anything will do, including YouTube, Big Buck Bunny on VLC, etc) before launching the game fixes the problem.

fin,

They got paid by canonical or something?

fin,

I’ll break the keyboard if someone would do that to me

No my firefox is not signed in, and I don’t think Google will send the data to Microsoft.

fin,

This would be the worstest timing for it to be shown if it’s just a coincidence

FOSS alternatives to document scanner

I need help finding an alternative for a tool like Adobe scan to scan documents and make PDFs out of them. I’ve tried out OpenScan, while it is decent, the scanner doesn’t recognize the page boundaries that well, and adding new pages requires quite a few clicks, which makes scanning long documents cumbersome. Any help is...

fin,

Quick search brought me this: www.naps2.com.

There’s also “awesome” for this specific topic

github.com/ad-si/awesome-scanning

fin,

It’s bloated. Not as bad as snap though. xbps for the win

fin,

There are several links at the bottom of the page which you might find helpful.

Is gentoo Linux really worth it?

I’ve installed gentoo but there seems like there’s so many sacrifices. I love that it’s all open source, but I really don’t mind closed source software now and then, because after all I would be using it to play closed source games. The biggest compromise I’ve observed is the very long build times. I have a lukewarm...

fin,

If you want fastness, consider using void linux instead

fin,

What’s new in this release:

  • Mono engine updated to version 9.0.0.
  • A number of system tray fixes.
  • Exception handling improvements on ARM platforms.
  • Various bug fixes.

It seems there’s no new feature

fin, (edited )

As a NixOS user, I will definitely not recommend beginners to use this distro. It’s just a poorly documented, not user-friendly Linux.

I use it because I really hate .config and dotfiles, like why do I need to edit several files for just one thing?

Standalone nix installation and Home-manager would be fine though, I still not recommend them because at least I cannot tell if the binary I’m executing right now is installed from Nix or apt or whatever until I execute which

Stop being elitist

That takes away most teenagers’ motivation to use Linux xD

fin,

Here is one of my collection of O’Reilly books. Not actually mine, but my father’s. It’s published in 1995 by a Japanese publisher.

fin,

No. It’s the fifth version. The first one was published in 1992, three years before this
