I’m a Linux gamer with a Youtube dedicated to competitive Starcraft 2: https://youtube.com/@jthundley

I automated making and uploading these videos which is half the fun. Now I just press a button to start recording, press a button to stop, a couple of scripts do the rest :)

I try to share info here with the Lemmy Starcraft community as Blizzard has been making changes that make the game run worse. I wrote a couple scripts for previewing and opening replays that I’m going to share as soon as they’re complete and user-friendly.

I use FreeFileSync and it syncs whatever files I point at it, not just videos and music. I installed it from the Play store.

fdupes to find duplicate files, freefilesync to back it up.

Arch Linux Security Advisories

I’ve never had issues like that on Kubuntu, Debian, or EndeavourOS. KDE is great and I love it.

The young ones are all busy getting molested.

I use Debian on machines I don’t want to fuck with or have change much.

I use Endeavour because it was recommended to me for the bleeding edge hardware I had just bought for gaming.

I decided to ditch Helix and stick with vim, my main code editor is Kate anyway lol.

Damn now you got me trying to get used to it. It’s hard when vim is so ingrained in my habits. And Helix isn’t in the Debian stable repos yet. It does seem faster and better though!

Sometimes you mess up an install, sometimes you just want to try different things and see what’s out there. I had to do that a bit to get a sense of what kind of distros I like and don’t like.

And you don’t have to fuck with drivers, especially for basic shit like the friggin hard drive. No forced accounts either!

That’s the wonderful thing about distros, you can keep trying different ones until you find one you love or just get tired of changing lol.

I play Starcraft 2 through Proton, it works pretty well. These days pretty much all distros are perfectly fine for gaming, maybe with the exception of Debian stable. If you’re new, I’d recommend staying away from Arch and derivatives like Manjaro. Also try to keep things simple for yourself and avoid flatpaks, snaps, and appimages.

I did just that with Windows 7 long past its support date. All my gaming was in Windows, all my work and everything else in Linux. You can do that in 10 too and in fact it will probably become easier for you after support ends, because there will be no new Windows Updates to trash your bootloader.

Edit: Don’t run programs from ntfs drives, icky stuff can happen. Just reinstall your games in Linux when you play them there. Gaming is also really good in Linux now, I’m primarily a gamer and do it all in Linux!

I saw this problem for the first time yesterday. Run dmesg to look for errors from the kernel, for me I had amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data. I took this to mean that my system couldn’t communicate with the monitor to change brightness anymore. When my system is idle, it first dims the monitor before turning it off, so when I wake it back up it’s stuck on low brightness like this. Simply turning my monitor off and back on seemed to fix it.

Yes, most people aren’t aware of it as they’ve seen inside Program Files and assumed that was all the program’s data.

I know they’re not for everyone, but Smart Cars are actually devoid of Smart as in IOT. If you’re not huge, get in one and try it out. I have a gas one and it’s my favorite car ever, and I last drove a Porsche Boxter. They’re fast enough, sip gas (or electricity I’m sure) and are so easy to drive. The turning radius is like 90 degrees and it’s so nice having the front of the car stop where your feet are instead of a giant protruding hood. They’re very cheap too and they’re made by Mercedes so it’s easy enough to get them worked on.

Bro you’re messing with wine prefixes? You already know more than most and clearly have the motivation and ability to do what you want. You’ll go far, just google what you need when you need it like the rest of us :)

Develop an alcohol addiction, seems to work for others.

It’s the price of bleeding edge :) Hope you find what you’re looking for in Nobara, my dude.
