Hey does anyone know how to get microsoft suite apps on linux?
  • Hmm... for me on a regular windows vm it works though, weird

  • Taking your ideas for my next linux app
  • I second this. The only lemmy client that exists worked quite badly for me

  • Manjaro 24.0 Wynsdey released
  • Pretty much, yeah. Definitely agree with you on that one. I use Manjaro mostly bc im lazy to install regular arch and also bc I actually found that delay in the update cycle to be really good in my case. With regular arch the times I used it broke a lot more than what Manjaro ever did for me, and I'm not that particularly interested in "bleeding edge" that much, but instead I liked arch and arch based distros because of the compatibility and tools I need. The AUR is amazing, and there's tons of custom repos to be added on top of arch which give me said tools I need to use + (yeah im lazy as hell).

    So yeah, Manjaro is pretty much a bit of a more stable arch for lazy people, so right up my alley!

  • Hey does anyone know how to get microsoft suite apps on linux?
  • Have you tried an oldie but goodie called winapps? It still works now and lets you use remote rdp to windows to show each specific program as a window on your linux desktop

  • Get rid of those angry, masculine mannerisms
  • Clearly you didn't understand anything...

  • you don't need more 4GB of RAM
  • Heh. Nice. I mostly use mine with vgpu to have 4 remote gaming instances

  • you don't need more 4GB of RAM
  • I got a 64gb proxmox homelab though, its pretty neat!

  • "But my friend runs a PinePhone as a daily driver"
  • That's what separate work phones are for :/

  • "But my friend runs a PinePhone as a daily driver"
  • Meanwhile me absolutely running a dualboot Oneplus 6 with lineage and droidian that has had kupferos, mobian and postmarketos in the past... (yes, i distrohop my phone, so what?)

  • Linux users with uncommon or unusual setups: tell us about it
  • Well my unusual setup I spent years thinking about it before I was even able to have the money to achieve it. It's based on portability and versatility and since I'm now working remotely now it makes even more sense. The plan was to run something portable with less power and smaller when outside, and leave the powerhouse to be accessed remotely. So for that reason I have a dualboot Oneplus 6 with LineageOS and Droidian, Waydroid container on Droidian and Debian proot-distro on LineageOS. That so i dont have to totally reboot for some tasks i might need on android or linux. 4 media folders shared between both of them as well as their containers. This makes sense now cause i long thought of running a Lapdock with it even if only wireless, and I got it recently! It works really nice on android but cant transmit over miracast on linux yet, still figuring that out. Nevertheless thats not the main device that is on my mind. A pinephone pro is a good fit too, but im leaning towards something like the gpd pocket 3, a real portable and modular mini pc that could be connected with just a cable to work better on the lapdock (also can be used as a tablet which is dope).

    The powerhouse itself is a server with 16 threads of cpu and 64gb of ram and 2 gtx 1060s for graphics that i plan on configuring with vgpu to split graphical load between the vms with. It is also my remote gaming server :D with moonlight and sunshine, and i spent quite some time configuring all of it to be easily almost plug and play with controllers to have no issues if i disconnect or using multiple different controllers, with a good game launcher (Playnite) to host all games from it.

    All of this just to someday achieve my dream of working wherever I want with a camper van to explore the world!

  • Talking to normies about privacy:
  • Aaaaand... now you just only spit nonsense. Great :) but I won't even try talking to a wall

  • Talking to normies about privacy:
  • That's just demonstrably false

  • What smartphones are people using nowadays?
  • Just get the Oneplus 6 xD

  • Oh yeah
  • This indeed belongs to "Lemmy Shitpost"

  • It happens 🤷
  • Me with only linux installed: not a problem i face, no

  • Does anyone use a Pinephone?
  • In terms of software, linux is ready for phones already. In terms of hardware the og pp isnt xD. Sent from my dual-boot oneplus 6 running LineageOS and droidian, which previously had postmarketOS and KupferOS

  • So thats what the hub IS!!
  • It hurds my eyes

  • Solid advice
  • If it's arch, it's arch xD

  • Oh no ...
  • So it wasn't just me? I felt like lemmy was 10 times more active than reddit since i switched bc im mainly interested in linux. That should mean most of reddit doesnt care about linux then :/
