Craziest/most "exotic" devices able to run Linux?
  • A PS4 can be jailbroken to run Linux. You can then install Steam and Halo and have Halo on Linux on PS4

  • Going from nvidia to amd
  • The only issues I have with Nvidia is Wayland, which sucks because I actually really like Wayland.

  • Which GPU to choose for Linux gaming?
  • AMD is generally better

  • Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised?
  • Shouldn't do much if you only have 1 other desktop. For example I used Pop!_OS for years which comes with Gnome, but I MUCH prefer KDE Plasma so I had that installed the whole time and just never touched Gnome (it was still there, removing it would have broken stuff).

  • Nothing's definitely off in here
  • How is it compared to AppImageLauncher? That's what I've been using for a few things that only ship AppImage.

  • How to optimize my Ubuntu for gaming.
  • I think your best bet is Gameboy emulation for gaming, that GPU isn't gonna be doing any 3D stuff any time soon unfortunately

  • Windows like DE
  • KDE Neon or Linux Mint will be your best betnfor a Windows-style layout. Just keep in mind it still isn't Windows so stuff will he different

  • 'Eco-friendly' paper and bamboo straws contain PFAS chemicals, study finds
  • Petty sure its made from oil same as plastic, resin, etc.

  • 'Eco-friendly' paper and bamboo straws contain PFAS chemicals, study finds
  • You've NEVER hit your teeth by mistake with a straw or fork or something?

  • 'Eco-friendly' paper and bamboo straws contain PFAS chemicals, study finds
  • I can't do metal, I HATE the feeling of metal on my teeth. There are ones with silicon nubs on the end, but then that's more plastic...

  • GitLab plans support for ActivityPub
  • YES! We really need to change the mindset of "Web3 = Blockchain/Crypto/NFT" to "Web3 = decentralized"

  • Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?
  • Pokémon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.

  • Ubuntu's Mozillateam PPA now forcing users over to snap install for Firefox.
  • You may need to move away from Ubuntu to an Ubuntu-based distro. Pop!_OS still packages firefox as a deb

  • Which Distro for Theatrical Use?
  • Pretty much any distro will do, but Ubuntu-based ones tend to be easier to use due to having menus and buttons for most everything. As for apps, here are my suggestions

    3D

    Blender

    DAW

    Ardour

    LMMS

    Bitwig

    ~VIDEO EDITING~

    Davinci Resolve (if on Nvidia)

    Kdenlive

    Olive (alpha software, be wary of crashes and save often)

    IMAGES

    GIMP

    Krita

    Photopea (web app)

    Inkscape

    Lights may be possible with OpenRGB but I haven't personally messed with these kinda of software

  • I tested positive for Covid a few hours ago and then my puppy got a rectal prolapse an hour later
  • Any parents that suggest D&D are automatically awesome in my book

  • Hello, I’m going to be getting a new computer soon and have thought about linux. Questions inside
  • Start with something designed around a graphical interface, pretty much anything based on Ubuntu will do this (Linux Mint, Zorin, Pop!_OS, etc).

    If you use Nvidia Pop!_OS has an ISO file with Nvidia drivers already installed. It isn't hard to get Nvidia drivers on other distros but the more done for you the better.

  • UPDATE: I successfully dual booted Linux! and then I messed up...
  • Also recommend, refind has saved my dual boot machines more times than I can count

  • UPDATE: I successfully dual booted Linux! and then I messed up...
  • Welcome to dual booting with Windows! Best advice I can give is try to keep Windows away from your Linux drive as it doesn't like to share. A 2nd drive for your Linux install can save a ton of headache (I went so far as to put Windows on my old PC when I upgraded).

  • I tested positive for Covid a few hours ago and then my puppy got a rectal prolapse an hour later
  • Really hope you got one of the later variants of covid, they got weaker over time so they may not be as bad. I got it too last year despite being vaxxed and while it sucked the first few days it let up fairly quickly.

  • HELP! BG3 failing to launch on Steam
  • Sounds like Steam and Proton may be broken. do sudo apt purge steam and then delete all your Proton prefixes in I think its ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata (the folders will all be game ID numbers) then reinstall Steam and try again. I'm running the game with the launcher on Pop!_OS 22.04 which is Ubuntu based and have no problems. However I set in the launcher to use Vulkan instead of DirectX
