People who have a favourite pencil.

Skipped to the “ugly” part of the article and I kind of agree with the language being hard?

I think a bigger problem is that it’s hard to find “best practices” because information is just scattered everywhere and search engines are terrible.

Like, the language itself is fairly simple and the tutorial is good. But it’s a struggle when it comes to doing things like “how do I change the source of a package”, “how do I compose two modules together” and “how do I add a repo to a flake so it’s visible in my config”. Most of this information comes from random discourse threads where the responder assumes you have a working knowledge of the part of the codebase they’re taking about.

Don’t know if it has games you’re interested in, but I’ve been using r2modman and it’s worked pretty well. Even for games run through Proton.

… Surprised it took them this long to get a tui editor in Windows. I would have assumed they had at least something somewhere.

Just a heads up to anyone reading this: Don’t format your home folder as FAT32/ntfs. Some stuff in there needs Linux specific permission bits and you might be limited in terms of maximum file size.

Consider mounting at /home/usename/shared or something instead if you want a shared drive.

My terminal of choice nowadays is Alacritty. It’s nice and clean, has a text based config file and decent feature support. The only annoyance is the lack of tabs, but I spend most of my terminal time ssh’d into a tmux session on a remote server anyway.

Time for people to be mad that sudo-rs isn’t GPL even though the original sudo wasn’t GPL either.

Think we can get them to rename it to xy11? You know, because only having x is part of the feminist agenda.

I don’t think so, Valve already have their hands full with one translation layer and probably don’t want to add another layer on top of it.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if battery life ends up being worse through the hypothetical vm. It still has to do the same amount of work after all.

It’s relatively trivial, you just need to write a kernel module. You’d just need/want to make it gpl so everything it does is fully audited and transparent. That’s not a problem, is it? Right?

From a technical standpoint, you could argue that someone could create a fork of the kernel that spoofs the interface that the anticheat uses to make it ignore things. You can, of course, also do something similar in Windows, but security theatre never let practicality get in the way.

Daily backups. Then you can have as much wild ambition as you like. Disk failures do not care for your permissions bits anyway.

Practically though, one thing I find that’s a good habit to get into is to use rmdir on directories that you know should be empty instead of rm -rf. If you’ve made a mistake and try to delete the wrong folder, it’ll error out.

Ah. If this is a new build that suggests a hardware issue. Can you try running with only one stick of RAM and/or xmp disabled to see if that fixes things?

What do you mean by “green screen of death”? Is there any text or something you can transcribe or screenshot for us?

I meant in the Passwords and Keys app below, sorry should have specified!

If you want to keep autologin enabled, you can also just set the password to nothing (that is, when you’re setting the password, just press enter without typing anything) to disable the password.

Saves having to mess with the .desktop files.

Does it mention something about “your login key was not unlocked when you logged in”?

If so, open up the application called “Passwords and Keys” (or “seahorse”), right click on “Login” > Change password and set it to match your Linux user account.

Not costly in anything but time, but I tried to crossgrade an i386 server to x86_64. Eventually it got broken enough that I restored from a backup and just rebuilt a new server from scratch in a VM to replace it.
