Linux@lemmy.ml•Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?
51·4 months agoYes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).
and this year Android also surpasses Ubuntu for personal use (29% vs. 28%).
lol why bother with same OS category when you can just compare across whichever fields you want

There are many graphics settings that you can configure. So you can play around until you get just right performance for the FOV that you want to have.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??
1·6 months agoI’m sure that there are games (either video games or IRL physical games) designed for this. Some simple “here are some possible instructions, use them to achieve some goal” thing.
Something like described here:
https://wiredme.com/blog/active-coding-games-for-kids/
But I am interested in knowing more examples of such games. Is there any Wikipedia article for this category of games? Is there any list with more of them described?

Linux@lemmy.ml•What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users
71·9 months agololwat. can you explain the reasoning in your second paragraph?
Also I’m not sure that your definition of Enshittification is correct.
USB 2, therefore no external monitor.
If they make 6+ (like there was 3+) with USB 3, then I will consider getting it.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•How to browse websites in 2025: 13 simple steps
18·9 months agothere was this satirical “web browsing simulator 2025” or something like that where you had to do all those things.
but I don’t remember the exact name and can’t find it with a search engine. Maybe someone else knows what I am talking about.
There is a project called Example Suite, which is meant to be a CC0 template for building other games upon it.
But I am not aware of any other from-scratch games made for OpenMW. There are quite a few total conversions, but those all use some of Morrowind game files.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?English
10·1 year agoYUNOHost iso is basically just Debian, but the one-click-install for various self-hosted things is it’s primary purpose. All done through web interface.
cool idea
concept somewhat reminds me of OpenDesk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opendesk
Which I know about because it uses the same name as https://opendesk.eu/en/ , which I am actually interested in.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
3·1 year agoIt does work, I have been using it for a long time now in context of my interest of using a phone as a PC.
https://xdaforums.com/t/phone-as-a-pc.4633441/Thing is that with just termux, you get just the android/termux environment.
There is a way to get more familiar Linux environments running on your phone by using proot from within termux.
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot
For example, using that you can install ARM version of Manjaro, which is basically the same thing that you would run on Raspberry Pi.
But everything in there runs a bit slower, because Proot is some layer that takes up a bit of performance.
Benefit of that is that you can run some Linux software that is not found within Termux packages, but is available in the repositories of other distros. Libreoffice is one such example.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
2·1 year agoLineageOS 22.2 (on FP4) does not seem to have that option yet.
At least, it is not listed in the developer options.
You can find it if you tap on the search button within developer options (or just general settings, as that also includes results from developer options) and type “terminal” or “linux”.
The(Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Androidresult shows up.
But after you tap on that, you see that toggle is greyed out. Can’t be enabled.I am interested in getting that to work, so any help is appreciated.
There is hopefully some ADB command or something that forcefully enables Linux environment.
I don’t know that.

Yes, and so is a virtual machine. I’m thinking install Linux to disk so that it can then run directly on hardware.
