Only one per user unfortunately. I'll assume you would want Mafia II then.

Any service whose main strength is "OSS, privacy, freedom, security" will usually never hit mainstream success. I say this as a FOSS enthusiast.

That's the neat part; it doesn't.

Jokes aside, few games (which I don't remember) check if the gaming device is a Steam Deck, and accordingly allow the games to run by turning on user-space anticheat.

Most of the time, the package is available on the standard package manager which makes the process extremely simple. Hardest part is knowing the package name. If you know apt search, you don't even have to search on the browser to find the package name. But certain packages are only available as tar.gz or as source. But those are usually not encountered by newbies.

If someone is using Nix, they generally don't have trouble finding packages. Also, Nix has more packages compared to AUR.

To your conscious brain, it might seem like 4 steps. But we are doing a lot more in reality because install process is second nature to us (Because of several years of usage).

If you tell someone who has never used a Windows PC to install a software and my list is more accurate.

winget is everything which Windows fanboys are against. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic (terminals ftw). However, I remember people often smirked about the fact that in Linux you have to type commands to install something and the GUI method is much superior.

The only reason I could not use bazzite was because i was trying to make it into a work PC as well (making/compiling git repos). I could use the built-in distrobox but was becoming a bit of a hassle. So switched to Nobara.

However, bazzite works great on my ROG Ally.

I have been using Nobara and Bazzite, both Fedora spins, and they are working great.

If anyone wants a great terminal bluetooth manager, use blutuith (https://github.com/darkhz/bluetuith)

How to install an application on Windows

  • You hear about some application
  • You google the application name
  • You get a bunch of links
  • You click the first one (and hope it's valid and not hijacked by malware ads)
  • You scan the webpage to find the correct download button (and hope it's not an ad link)
  • Download the application
  • Double-click the application.exe
  • Windows UAC pops up which you have to allow
  • Install start and you click next, next, next (You hope the installer does not change your homepage or install some browser toolbar)
  • Installation finished

Windows is so much easier /s

 

I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic.

So I have 2 questions

  1. Should I leave the kernel as it is? Some threads online say it's better to leave it as it is as an OEM kernel is better for Ubuntu-certified laptops
  2. If I should change the kernel, what would be the best way? I don't want to hard-code the kernel version.
    • If I have issues in the latest generic kernel, I should be able to roll-back to the OEM kernel.

Hello there!

I have recently created Lazcraft SMP, a Java vanilla SMP server. It's just been over a week and we haven't even fought the Ender Dragon. We have around 6-7 players with mostly 3-4 players online and we are looking for a few more players. Most of the players are late teens and from Asia timezone.

The server atmosphere is chill and relaxed. The spawn is on top of a beautiful Cherry Blossom biome. We are focused on exploring the game and not trying to rush any objective. Most of the players are builders or explorers (I am the only technical player on the server). We would be delighted to have people of similar temperament from the Lemmy community. If you would like to join us, please comment below

  • your general location (Country/Timezone)
  • your age range (late 20s/early 20s/teen)
  • your play style (PvP player, building, technical player)
  • what you want to achieve in the server in the long term

If I find your profile suitable, I'll share a Discord link (sorry Matrix users ๐Ÿ˜”) where I'll share the server IP.

 

We already have tab for subscribed / local / all.

Can we add some custom tabs to that list?

I have quite a few communities and some communities are more active than others which causes them to fill my feed. The current solution is to visit the community individually but can we make a short collection of communities which I can see all at once?

Example: The tabs (which can be created by the user) might be like technology, shitposting/memes, hobbies. The user will fill each tab with their own list of communities.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask this since it might be better to ask lemmy-UI for this feature but just putting this feature up here.

 

I just tried to upgrade Ubuntu and I suddenly see that new packages want to be installed; snapd and firefox. I don't need Firefox because I'm already using Firefox-ESR as a deb and I certainly don't need snaps.

Why is Ubuntu doing this? I get it you like snaps but I don't, so don't try to force install it. I had to use apt-mark hold to block the install of snapd and firefox. This is also not an isolated incident. I just checked Reddit and someone made a thread 8 hours back regarding the same issue.

This thing is giving me Microsoft vibes.

The upvotes are not aligned, which causes the post to be shifted a bit

Edit: As of 6th July, this issue seems to be fixed :D

 

  • tested on Firefox in private mode
  • tested on Chromium

This

This problem occurs sometimes but goes away after a refresh. Just letting you know @[email protected]

 

I made a post on [email protected] but it was not getting any responses so decided to ask here where people have experience in hosting lemmy instances.

I am not sure how cross-posting works here so I'm just going to paste the link to the original post https://lemm.ee/post/24869.

The main query I have is how is data partitioned over instances when I'm participating in communities in other instances.

You can post your answers here or there.

 

I made this community for the people of Kolkata, who wants to leave r/kolkata. Hope we can make this as vibrant as the reddit community!

Hello fellow lemmings!

I'm a new lemming like many of you and I want to know a bit more about the inner workings of lemmy. So I just have a few questions

  1. If I'm part of instance A and there is a community C in instance B and I want to put a comment with a picture attached.
    1. In which instance is the data (comment+picture) stored?
  2. Is it possible to migrate from instance A to instance B seamlessly while taking all my data?
    1. If yes, will my username change from user@A to user@B?
    2. If the username changes, how do my previous followers keep track?
  3. When I'm just viewing (not commenting) community C@B from instance A, is some amount of data (images/post text) is transferred from B to A?
    1. If yes, is it kept for sometime or permanently?
  4. If I've subscribed to 100s of communities in different instances, how much will it impact my instance?
  5. Consider the link to this post lemmy.ml/post/1223070 and lemm.ee/post/24869 which basically references this post from different instances.
    1. Is there any difference in the way people see it?
    2. Will there be a sync issue when people try commenting on it?

These are just some questions that came to my mind. I'll post more in the comments as they come.
