justice for Arch
  • Watching this from arch on my phone, btw

  • Beginners Guides
  • This. Right now you might feel you aren't learning anything, that you are just copying what says online without understanding it. But little by little, by changing a config line the internet told you, by doing x command to search for y path, you slowly and unknowingly build up your experience with that config file or command. Next time you need to touch that same confg file or command, it'll be easier, and easier. So on until you just know it and dont need to look it up.

    Give it time. Every small step builds toward the big goal. And if you know how to search and learn from the internet efficiently, you dont even need to ask here for advice. It'll come naturally

  • anyone who uses Linux on apple silicon or another arm device
  • Im using arch linux to respond to you right now from my dualboot Oneplus 6. Yeah linux on phones is cool. Recommended. 4.9 stars

  • Battery Input Manager
  • That's amazing dude, thanks for the work!

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • I've used pretty much anything. pmOS, Droidian, Kupfer, Manjaro, Mobian. Usually in duaoboot with LineageOS on my Oneplus 6

  • I finally deleted windows on every computer I own
  • Definitely try Zerotier

  • A pleasant turn of events
  • Marry her. NOW

  • 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!
