  • How to help someone install Linux?

    Jump

  • Since it's a laptop, for whichever distros you're considering I would absolutely check for any compatibility issues or weirdness others have experienced (things like sleep/wake, power management, wifi, webcam, any other features on the laptop).

    What laptop is it?

  • Gam-yeets

    Jump

  • You're confusing the metaphorical sort of "analogous" with the term "analogous" used in evolutionary biology.

  • Use this science wisely.

    Jump

  • The real cheat sheet:

  • Do you guys just have flawless experiences or what?

    Jump

  • The best thing I ever did was use Nvidia prime offloading to move everything to my integrated GPU and have only select GPU intensive applications (like games, video editing) interact with Nvidia.

    Never had to deal with weird graphics bugs after that.

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Right? I made the realization a while ago that refurbished mini PCs are a way better fit for most of my homelab needs.

    Sure, if power consumption is your #1 priority then you'd want some ARM solution. But for my use cases, I've found myself fighting with software support and the relatively low computational power of even the newer RPis.

    Also, T-series Intel chips (the low power ones) have pretty good idle power consumption and don't spin up the fan too much given their lower power. And a lot of uses cases require sticking a fan and heat sinks on an RPi so you lose the quietness benefit.

    Also also, you (still?) need proprietary blobs to use a bunch of the hardware on RPis. You can go full open source on a regular old PC.

  • Use supervisor or desktop Linux for TV gaming PC + NAS?

    Jump

  • Have you considered/tried streaming games from your primary desktop PC? Obviously very dependent on your situation's specifics, but that's one of the things I do with the Linux htpc I have set up.

    And then you wouldn't have to worry about games and NAS stuff competing for system resources.

    I'd personally go the hypervisor route (I'm using proxmox, truenas, and an *arr stack on my NAS). It keeps things compartmentalized (especially network configurations) and usually keeps me from breaking everything at the same time.

  • Locked

    How do I start a new instance?

    Jump

  • Ah, I think I understand. Although, my take on those dullster communities is that they're less about being a boring human but more of a recognition that a lot of tasks are pretty mundane but deserve a place to be discussed/celebrated. There may be value to be found in posting your successes and discussing them.

    I don't know of any communities that are specifically about what you're looking for, but I guess you could also check in !adhd@lemmy.world and ask.

  • Locked

    How do I start a new instance?

    Jump

  • Do you mean to creating a community? There's a button in the header navigation to do that. An entire instance would be overkill.

    Although, you might consider checking out !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world and !dullsters@dullsters.net. Those seem like the sort of vibe you're going for.

  • Looking for the Best KDE Distro – Fast, Stable, and Feature-Rich

    Jump

  • What’s one of your favorite classic YouTube videos of all time?

    Jump

  • Introducing Flight Blades: Shape Your Ship’s Behavior

    Jump

  • Interesting. I'll have to see what the numbers look like once someone data mines them.

    Still... thrust reallocation probably should have been a feature of normal engineering gameplay.

  • Introducing Flight Blades: Shape Your Ship’s Behavior

    Jump

  • In simple terms, Flight Blades are components that go into your ship's computer ports to adjust its flight behavior in two key ways currently:

    • Speed: Increase your straight-line top speed

    • Maneuverability: Improve ship handling

    So you can just buy bigger numbers? If I had to pick one thing they absolutely shouldn't sell for money, it'd be this.

    Like, the game has always been pretty pay-to-win, but at least there was a veneer of plausible trade-offs/pros/cons between different ships. This is just indefensible "pay money for better stats" levels of P2W.

  • It be like that

    Jump

  • Do people actually think that produce in stores sits there for a week? Most of it is gonna be restocked daily for bigger stores... like twice a week at worst.

    Also, just taking your produce out of it's packaging immediately before storing in the fridge will help immensely with the moisture build up causing mold.

  • Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)

    Jump

  • That's fair. But since you do have a Switch, I'd still recommend finding a used copy of Yoshi's Crafted World if you haven't played it.

  • Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck)

    Jump

  • If you're open to doing emulation, there's a multitude of Nintendo games that are amazing couch co-op.

  • Last thing I remember was him dropping a hard R.

  • Grid or List?

    Jump

  • If it has hierarchical organization like files/folders, then miller columns. I wish there was a decent Linux file browser with miller columns; it's one of my favorite things in macos.

    If the cover art/thumbnail is helpful for quickly visually scanning, then grid. This is for things like my movies and shows in Kodi.

    Everything else should be a list.

  • Every immutable distro right now

    Jump

  • Basically, I could send you my configuration file (and lock file) and you could run a single command to get a system that looks/runs identical to mine.

  • Switch 2 rule

    Jump

  • We'll just have to see how quickly we get a working emulator.

    Ryubing (a fork of Ryujinx) is very good, so hopefully we'll see something stem from that.
