Is it as loud as it seems in the video?
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.
Is it as loud as it seems in the video?
I think so. Installing Linux was a hurdle for a lot of people but having it by default on the Steam Deck was a bit of a game changer. Installing Windows on it versus figuring out how to use something Lutris probably takes a similar amount of effort for average casual user.
I feel like it also helps that Windows isn’t very controller friendly, in my experience, and an increasing amount of people are looking for that for couch gaming and viewing media.
Mostly powering off my system when I shouldn’t have. I believe one time I began the process to format a drive I didn’t mean to and when I saw the process had started I pushed the power button and just made things worse. The other times were when I was updating.
This all happened when I first started using Linux.
- the comma button shows a pop up when long pressing for options like ”voice input, undo, redo, one handed mode, access settings…". These can be customised on the keyboard’s settings.
Can’t the top row give you the same options with the > button?
Does anyone know how to remove the number and comma button in the bottom left corner?
It’s kind of redundant with how I want to set things up
That’d be neat. I feel like that could definitely add to the community growth and engagement.
If I saw an app that I used regularly I’d definitely be willing to enthuse about it and talk about issues I’ve encountered.
This isn’t a 64 bit versus 32 EFI issue is it?
I ran into that when I was installing Linux on an iMac a while back
If you want specifics like that you may want to pick a smaller instance.
It can be hit and miss whether you’ll have issues until you try
Oh thank you for explaining
Why would the upgrade equate to more monthly active users?
Kind of unrelated but what do you like about MacOS and Linux versus Windows? I mean that in the way of things they share
I never really used a MacOS device for an extended period of time so when I did use one the differences between it and Windows/Linux really slowed me down and confused me.
I suppose that makes sense. I feel like that might lead to a lot of unnecessary reports. Like if one instance doesn’t allow right-wing or NSFW content but federates with one that does. If a user reports it then the other community/instance is going to hear about it. It’s easy to ignore but legitimate reports might get swept up with them.
I’d say for the most part. The Arch Wiki does a decent job at least pointing users in the right direction. The path to solving it may be a bit different. For example you may need to find the equivalent package on Mint and it might have a different name.
Since they don’t have dedicated guides for this model, it usually means it’s not supported at all and no one even tried, or it’s a smooth ride and there just are no issues.
I feel like if someone went through hell trying to install Linux on some obscure hardware there would be something online. I think the safe bet a majority of the time that it just hasn’t been documented yet.

This page from the Arch Wiki might be a good start
Numix Circle. Been using it for years
doesn’t overwrite the tux Linux icon (I use it for app menu)
Couldn’t you copy the icon file and just direct your app menu to use it?
Might have a bit to do with the regular admin posts where they talk about leaving Lemmy all together.
Their chat communities occasionally have some decent stuff
That’s what they are trying to fight. I don’t think there’s been any substantial claims of them spying. At least I couldn’t find any
Are you trying to import content? I don’t think there’s a way to do that. There might be a way to mass download content posted by a user but I feel like that’s probably it. I don’t even know if there is a tool for doing what I mentioned for Lemmy.
