Maybe because that actually stopped getting updated, and a fork continuing it exists?

Resolved

The following packages are needed from winetricks: directmusic, dsdmo

Flatpak is definitely a possible solution. We will see how it will be managed in the future

To allow modern windows to run legacy applications a lot of caution is given to updating libraries or fully new ones are given while keeping the older ones. Also static builds are more common on Windows, or come bundled with a copy of the required libraries as .dll files.

• Let’s say an application requires libexample1. It works, the library is available too.
• Eventually the application gets abandoned, but still works.
• But eventually a libexample2 gets released that drastically changes how the library works. The program doesn’t work on this version. The older release of the library then get’s abandoned.
• Distributions now start removing the package from the repositories as the older library is slowly requiring no longer supported releases of its own dependency.
• Now application is borked

Aplication could have still worked if it came bundled with its own copy of libexample1 and of its dependencies, or was statically linked.

An example of this is Nero, a software kit for managing CD/DVD disc media. They made a build of some of their tools for Linux, meant to run on Debian 7. This builds were an experiment and got abandoned because of the very few users it had. Yet, these tools still work perfectly fine on Debian 12 despite being based on ancient libraries because it bundles all its requirements as a copy in its own proprietary blob.

I talked about caution on updating libraries on Windows. You can find many deprecated methods in any native Windows library that will likely never be removed from the library binaries, as many applications require it. The new, better and more feature rich method is given a different name instead, and is pointed out in the documentation for the older method.

Projects like FUSE are very nice for this, where an AppImave bundle of prebuilt binaries is given and can potencially not only be ran everywhere that can run FUSE but also in the future too.

I have no issues with Proton 8 on Nvidia GTX 1050 Mobile. Please be more specific with your info

Only on beta/rolling release distros

Used OS or how much you see the desktop doesn’t matter. This is customization that feels good.

I don’t understand why there is no such projects as mature on Linux. With access to plugins for the most used desktop environments you think it would actually be easier to implement. Running VLC borderless in the background is still the way many people suggest

I tried just now as it happened again. Killing the app in use doesn’t make the keyboard work again in X11 apps.

Are you sure its a similar issue? Because usually closing the window actually doesn’t solve it, as then reopening another X11/XWayland window will still not register keyboard presses. I am adding some more info to the post right now.

I was much more inexperienced in Linux at the time, I could probably fix it now if the same thing happened again.

Debian sid a few years ago: Uninstalled Python2, system became unusable and couldn’t neither reinstall from APT neither recompile it

Or instead just make it an alias in your .bashrc

There are a few choices.

You can create a shortcut (Windows), script or desktop file (Linux). This is probably the easiest method, and works outside on the internet browser.

But as you talked about bookmarks, I am assuming you want to edit directly in your browser. You can host an instance of OnlyOffice Community Edition, and use that as an editor, and save the direct link to service with the appropriate arguments in the URL to recall the file.

Possible 0 budget given to presenting the product? Or “hey this pictures online are exactly what we need, why not use them” and didn’t think for 2 minutes

I would have personally accepted. More devices for modding and tinkering with! 🔥

That’s honestly amazing for mobile software development. A stack of devices that can make great testing devices or compact servers if cheap enough. Or Clash of Clans/Pokemon GO alt accounts.

It’s not only with Black Friday. The Android tablets market is flooded with absolute expensive stinkers for devices. You will notice this in any physical electronic store.

Have a look at this repository https://github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable

It has a very nice list of immutable distributions you can check out!

If you want another Debian based name, one can be EndlessOS. But it runs GNOME instead.

Finally!

But honestly, I still miss themes…
