I honest to god find Linux easier to use. Though it’s maybe because the most used programs on my laptop are neovim, gcc and rust compiler and Firefox . And I shit you not, Microsoft purposefully slowed down the Firefox browser I installed from their store.
Plus I like using a tiling window manager when coding, now in Linux I have 500 options. On windows I get a middle finger and a dedicated nsa/fbi agent. Whats not to hate?
It should be fairly simple to do… But I don’t have multiple monitors to test it. I am taking the day off for today, need to recharge, then I will patch that it.
Well there is a simple answer to it. I didn’t know about it.
The project looks quite cool though.
That’s the beauty of FOSS. You can do whatever the hell you want to your system. Fuck up the kernel if you so wish.
PS, I looked into the wiki and it is really cool, especially since it uses a proper language. I will try it some day but for now… I am totally burntout setting up eww. Maybe on my next rice I will give it a go.
Ohh eww is awesome. And don’t try to create everything from scratch, look up other people’s dot files, you will understand best practices.
If you want to take a peek … Here are my dotfiles
Just create multiple windows with different monitor ids and pass the literal to both. That should do it.
I recently coded up a dirt simple image viewer. Like it is stupidly simple.
You can give it a go https://github.com/Dr-42/imeye
I recommend fedora to every one. It’s the correct kind of stable distro. The kernel updates are slow to roll out after being tested and all… But guess what version of plasma I have? 6.1. That’s just a few weeks later than arch got it.
Plus not to mention how easy setting up my Optimus gpu was because of rpmfusion. I have never had such ease with any other distro.
So I recommend fedora all the way.
I don’t know about others here but I manually hibernate with
systemctl hibernate
And it works pretty well. I set up 16gb swap for my 16gb ram (Which I know is overkill) but it works. I am on Fedora 40
Use bottles. It works great for me.
Install bottles via flatpak. Run it and create a new bottle with the gaming preset. Got to the settings - > runners and download the latest “proton-ge” runner. Then just add the exe to the bottle and add it to your library. Launch to play.
It really helps smooth the curve. Some installers fail to open so I use the system default to install it and then copy them over to my games directory.
PS: if you see no exe files being listed when you try to add an exe, clear the file filter in the bottom to all files. Bottles has this weird bug on some DEs
Gotta resoect the tty. Consistently consitent
I have a story that most of here might have faced. I ran dd on my external drive instead of my usb stick to create an iso. 1.8TB of data poof.
How did they solve the static dust problem?
Thank you kind sir. I meant the LMMS DAW. Can you recommend me a good DAW to start?
Sorry for hijacking this beautiful conversation you talented gentlemen are having, but can help me out?
I wanted to learn electronic music creation. I learnt very briefly how fl studio works, and then got busy due to my workload. Now I want to give it a go again. I heard llms is good for Linux, but I don’t understand how to get various instrument samples like fl studio. How do I set it all up? Can you point me to any good resources. I am also not committed to lmms and am open to suggestions.
I see… Okay then.
Uninstall the system package manager… Then install with rustup.
Did you install cargo using rustup? Or did you use the system package manager. Using rustup is the preferred method.
PS I don’t have my dev machine with me a this moment. But as I can see many people have so many installation issues, I will try to create a flatpak for the application. I will post soon
You need a c compiler. Install gcc or clang
sudo apt install gcc
sudo apt install clang
Seems like you need openssl for some dependancy. What distro are you using. You can install openssl development libraries and check again.
I just saw you said ubuntu
You need to run
sudo apt install libssl-dev
The run
cargo install offflix
I did it. Install v0.1.10 and give it a go.
