The most demanded products provide more monetization opportunities, or so they think.

Gollum II: “The Battle for Overwhelmingly Negative”

warmaster,

What way do you imagine would be more precise?

warmaster,

Do you know what really doesn’t exist?

A pure, HTML only, WYSIWYG text editor. Every text editor out there is either XML, JSON or Markdown based. HTML is the most widely adopted standard ever and is the best for storing content long term. People could write CSS themes, you could even add paged media support.

warmaster,

Graphite is awesome, raster improvements can’t come soon enough. For vectors Inkscape is very good, but for raster images… GIMP has a horrible UX/UI, Krita is for Illustration. That leaves Linux users with cloud only tools like Photopea and Adobe Photoshop on Creative Cloud.

warmaster,

Both options will be available, it’s still in an early stage.

Material you is coming from what I understood reading the linked blog post. There’s also a screenshot. Or is Material 3 different from You?

warmaster,

These guys are killing it.

warmaster,

Nixos is a declarative distro, it’s an interesting concept.

Also, Immutable distros:

  • Fedora Universal Blue
  • Bazzite OS
  • Vanilla OS
  • Blend OS
warmaster,

Intro:

Linux is open source, anyone can grab the code and distribute their own Linux distro, some of them are community Maintained, some are backed by big companies. Some of them are based on another distro and they change stuff, a spin off of sorts. Think of Linux as a big waterfall which then is forked into several rivers, and then forked into more rivers. Each river has it’s own characteristics, which some come from upstream and some others are their own.

There are four big players: Debian, Ubuntu (which is based on Debian), Fedora and Arch. Then you have POP OS and Linux Mint which are based on Ubuntu, but they change stuff to make it even easier to use, specially for Nvidia users.

In Linux, everything works out of the box because every driver is part of the core of Linux called the Linux Kernel. Except for Nvidia, for which you need their own non-open source, proprietary driver. Installing that driver manually is much harder than on Windows, so that’s why everyone recommends a distro that ships with Nvidia drivers out of the box.

I don’t know how they will behave with double touchscreens. Try some distros and report back please.

OS

All major Linux distros have no ads For a PC with Nvidia GPU, pick a distro that ships with Nvidia drivers. Like POP OS & Linux Mint.

warmaster,

Have they already backtracked in practice or just in PR?

warmaster, (edited )

That’s great news. I’ve seen reviews go from overwhelmingly negative back to mixed. I wonder if reviews will ever get back to normal.

warmaster,

Thank you !

warmaster,

Instead of clicking the “disagree button” (downvote) please take the time to reply with your opinion. Downvoting is for things that don’t deserve discussion. This post doesn’t deserve to be hidden.

Now, my take:

I love GNOME’s UX/UI because it’s amazingly intuitive for me, but it’s underlying tech is inferior to KDE, for gaming purposes. That’s why I use KDE, but I miss GNOME every day.

Stirling-PDF: Locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files (github.com)

This is a robust, locally hosted web-based PDF manipulation tool using Docker. It enables you to carry out various operations on PDF files, including splitting, merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application has evolved to encompass a comprehensive set of...

warmaster,

I use this, hands down the best PDF editor on Linux.

For creating forms, filling and signing use:

Inkscape can do the rest.

Can’t wait to turn my Nvidia rig into a Steam console with Bazzite.

Kernel Level Sony Data Breach in 3,2,1…

Arch gets faster driver updates, KDE is faster at developing Wayland protocol implementations.

Edit: Valve gets their desired stability by turning Arch into a point release distro through image based releases. And, the system is practically unbrickable since it’s immutable. So, in summary it’s the best of both rolling release and point release models. By best, I mean for gaming.

warmaster,

I understand your comment if you have an Nvidia GPU and/or if you don’t do any gaming, but if you have an Intel or AMD GPU and you play games, Wayland is just better. VRR, HDR, Fractional Scaling, Nvidia Reflex (for all GPU brands), in GameScope (wayland compositor made by Valve) you can have FSR, upscaling, on all games. It’s even better than on Windows. And if you use Bazzite, all is set up for you out of the box, you don’t need to be an experienced Linux user to use all of the above tech. Just like on the Steam Deck.

warmaster, (edited )

Hey! Sorry for the offtopic comment but… Glad you made it to Lemmy, and from the bottom of my heart: thank you so much for OpenRGB.

Awesome collab with KDE, Tuxedo, looking forward to the kernel implementation !

warmaster,

He’s the lead dev, his profile pic is the OpenRGB logo and his nickname is the same across social networks.

warmaster, (edited )

Holy shit, same thing here. That shady link is in fact on their page, it doesn’t come from your phone.

Edit, here it is, line 22:

warmaster,

If Valve can’t do something that will push their business and the whole industry forward, they’ll just do some other thing that will.

Doing sequels after sequels will only stagnate the franchise, making Valve lose time. For that, they rely on publishers like Activision, EA, and Ubisoft among others.

warmaster,

If this is barely close to Shadow Tactics quality, I’ll bite.

warmaster,

Are there any mods to fix the horrible gameplay?

warmaster,

The only way it could work IMO, is the other way around: a game dev company buying them.

warmaster,

They named their new gaming division:

More-ON: X-EKS

warmaster,

A true work of love and dedication. Dolphin & RPCS3 have excellent reports.

warmaster,

OK, but you remove all gun safety mechanisms. If you shoot yourselves in the balls, we encrypt everything back.

warmaster,

I freaking love it !!

Beautiful, dead simple, compatible with selfhosted servers.

I only wish it could zoom images.

warmaster,

What does that mean ? Games writing color profiles or what?

warmaster,

Performance wise, I doubt there’s notable difference.

I’ve tried both, and honestly Bazzite OS is on a league of it’s own.

Nobara has updates with breaking changes that require manual steps to avoid bricking your installation.

Bazzite on the other hand immutability makes it a freaking indestructible distro, and for a gaming machine, that is a good thing.

Bazzite’s CI/CD automated builds helps them release upstream improvements way faster, for example… they are already on Fedora 40.

It also comes ready to go out of the box. The experience is amazing. The only drawback is having to reboot to apply changes to the system. But the many benefits outweight this inconvenience.

warmaster,

The Bazzite installation is so streamlined, it would take you an hour to install and set it up to the point where you are now. Unless you did something extremely out of the ordinary.

warmaster,

I haven’t bothered with it, but Neofetch allows you to easily change the neofetch logo. neofetch --ascii_distro <distroname>

warmaster,

I was thinking of playing it with my kids…

Guess not.

warmaster,

Why the downvotes? This guy wanted something else. What’s wrong with that? In fact, I believe it opens up room for healthy discussion.

warmaster,

It doesn’t matter in this (as of now) unpopular thread. But it does matter for the Fediverse culture. Downvoting takes posts to the bottom, it drives attention away. Driving attention away from a post that promotes healthy discussion is the opposite of what the Fediverse is all about.

warmaster,

I know it’s too little too late for most. But last season made the game fair. Even before it was less pay to win than Siege for example. Now it’s only cosmetics like CS2. For new players it’s a solid hero shooter, it’s really fun and the community is not toxic, though I admit it’s crap at competitive. For that, your time would be better spent at CS2.

warmaster,

KDE echo chamber

warmaster,

I also use KDE because it’s better for gaming. But I love GNOME’s UX/UI. I wish I could go back.

warmaster,

Reason why I jumped ship. Manjaro is not Arch. If you want Arch with a GUI installer and nice defaults, go with Endeavour or Cachy.

warmaster,

If we are talking about desktop PCs, maybe Ubuntu, but based these reports it’s Arch.

Is that contract copyrighted?

I wish there was a git-based mod distributor.

As all things Proton.

Except anything Valve, which is awesome.

What better partner than Amazon ?
