Linux news

Installing is just following directions. It’s maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

…Is this supposed to be a play on the title? IE: The fix is low quality?

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn’t recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren’t aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn’t personally recommend it.

…What? This is Redis. Linux doesn’t really benefit from this (aside from being an OS that can host Redis)

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍

There’s a submission link on the top of the page

Search seems broken. The following gives me a “Something went wrong” page

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, it seems like this list is just “self hosted open source alternatives”. Even if there are better options, Gitea still falls under that definition, no?

I disagree with this as a default, but think it might be a good idea as something users could toggle.

Also i have a second panel at the top of my second monitor so i can always see the current date and time.

I think this one is probably very popular. I had a very hard time giving Gnome a chance because of its inability to do this by default.

Debian has all the updated packages one needs for gaming just as well as the other distros.

Yes and no, but I agree with the overall sentiment. Debian is entirely fine for gaming.

People in this thread have very interesting ideas of what “shit hardware” is

True that

Thanks for the explanation. I was hoping it was this instead of “I disagree!”

Both of your posts to this community are videos that were posted a few hours earlier. Should have a peek before you post.

My two suggestions are forcing a different proton version (you mention this, so im guessing you already have) and ensuring you have a 32bit opengl driver installed(package names will differ between distributions. Arch wiki has some info)

For troubleshooting, launch steam from a terminal and watch for errors on game launch/close
