If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:

  • The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums

  • Install arch manually (no archinstall) and thoroughly read the wiki to understand how your system is put together. Then install endevour, just from doing a manual arch install you should have the knowlage to fix like 90% of issues

  • Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros

  • Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping

For me at least it is 100% a hobby. Sure when I'm actually working I'm either running plasma or riverwm basically stock, but it's genuinly really fun to see how "hollywood hacker" based I can get my desktop to look. It also helps me learn more about interacting with the inner workings of linux since I like to modify things myself instead of using other peoples dots. I even made a shitty terminal application launcher using pure fish cause I wanted to see if I could, and it taught me a ton about .desktop files and binary locations and flags. That information I now use daily building my own applications

This is really just a vent post tbh feel free to skip

In high school I had very supportive friends who helped me a ton and dispite being in poverty at the time I still had the time to care about my outward presentation. This ended up making the perfect moment in my life where I ended up focusing a ton on myself and even dispite having to hide it from very homophobic parents when I was out with friends I got called she/her basically every time a stranger saw me (unless I spoke lol)

But life hit hard after those couple months: I lost friends, my mom became bed ridden and eventually passed, I started failing school, a toxic relationship drained all the time I had from my hobbies. So my body hair grew out again, I put on more weight, I couldn't make myself exercise at all anymore, If it wasnt a school day I wouldn't even shower and I often rewore clothes since I would be too tired to do wash.

Well I always thought that when I moved out things would be better. That I'd get on E and become the girl of my dreams again! Instead the only work I could find is in a warehouse, my beard routinly grows to an itchy length because I just don't have the energy to shave, I was forced to move to the other side of the US to a shitty town in Idaho where im surrounded by only trumpies and racists, Ive lost all my friends due to the move. I don't just look like a man, but a whole ass dad to the point my coworkers assume I have kids... Im 19.

I don't have money, I don't have time, and I certainly don't have the energy to be trans anymore. Yet in my dreams when I look into the mirror, I see her, and for a moment I smile like I could when I was just a dumb kid again. And every morning after those dreams I'll wake up and be reminded that the friends family I'm staying with since I almost went homeless (and really need to move out from), even though their use my prefferd name, every action or joke or conversation is undeinably "your clearly a man". And I'm reminded of my sad reality that as I am now I will never come across as even remotely feminin

Baeically its a somewhat stripped down version of plasma ment to be used with a controller or remote, but it is only a DE, so applications that arent controller friendly are going to stay that way.

Setting steam to launch big picture by default tho would basically turn any powerful pc you have into a steam console (steam big picture) with an extra home screen (plasma bigscreen) that shows all your other applications

This should be a well know, but often misunderstood thing. Lots of reddit selfhosting threds urge people to buy a new mini-pc for its "low power draw" when usually its the same or 1-2watts less then a laptop from 2012. However performace to watt is much higher, so if you need massive preformance new is much better, if your system is idling most of the time anyway, basically no diffrence in buying old

Hi! I'm new to gardening (help lots with friends gardens but never had one myself) and was wondering what I could do with this below ground space outside my window :0

Edit: as many of you have pointed out this place is a bad area to grow things and should stay as a cleared out firescape. Ill trust the wisdom of the crowed and not temp fate, thanks everyone for being polite with my misunderstanding of the area!

Imo theres a massive diffrence between using a massive companys software that only runs on their servers and generates money for them, and a completly FOSS tiling desktop that the creator almost quit because they get literally nothing from people using the code. The entire point of open source is to make software that benefits everyone nomatter the original creators views

Voting is upholding a bad system that makes things worse.

Not voting is inaction that lets the system make things worse.

Idk how people can't understand that there are no "right" answers, nomatter if we personally believe that voting does/doesn't help we all collectively want better and getting there starts with working together rather then scapegoating

Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?

Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist

Edit: Looks like the main reasoning is Servo's focus on being embedded while Ladybird promises a fully functional browser

Right now I have everything except wireguard setup on my old Thinkpad. I'm planning on hosting a minecraft server, forgejo, jellyfin, and fediverse instances. Before I expose everything to the open web I'd be grateful if someone could look my setup over and tell me if this is secure enough I can just update containers when they need and forget about security

Linux mint is a good, "click first" distro that won't break without root + will be easy for her to use. For something with a more modern desktop and more recent updates, Bazzite is really good at just working and (in my experience) has never broken

Xfce next major release will have Wayland support so no need to even change!

DIY roku like thing (self.linux4noobs)
submitted 2 years ago by lilith267 to c/linux4noobs@lemmy.world

System: laptop with HDD(no money for ssd) and power issues + old non-smart TV + router under TV OS: Fedora server

Idea: Since the old laptop is close enough to the router for Ethernet, I'm using it as a home server. Then I had the idea to also use it as a smart TV like device since it's right under the TV. I figured an HDD wouldn't be a huge issue for streaming from jellyfin or the internet.

Server side stuff I've found lots of great information on but I'm struggling with the roku-like/smart TV setup:

  • how do I disable the laptops display on boot?
  • using waydroid + cage to run full screen android application when tv is connected?
  • can the TV remote be mapped to Linux inputs?

I was wondering if there were some good resources for the concepts of a FPS inventory. My current idea to to just have a JSON file with every item having a "name" "type" "weight" and "count" propertys. I was thinking this would have the added benefit of using a single list that can be used for multiple menus(ie: healthpacks menu, ammo menu, etc)

Are they different approaches or resources for FPS inventorys?
