Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

Why would you downvote a video you haven’t even watched

The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

Wait but isn’t being more lean a good thing? Or am I misunderstanding how they’re using that word?

You can, but you won’t get updates that way. Some of their apps are available as GitHub releases, which you can add to Obtainium. You can also add the direct apk download links to Obtainium, but update checking isn’t great using that method in my experience.

It’s pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp which lets you select a part of the screen.

I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.

I’m not sure about the others, but I’m pretty sure Hitman isn’t linux native.

As far as I can find on protondb, neither are Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.

I’ve never had any issues running those games through Proton though, so that’s great.

tl;dr: bcachefs dev sent in a massive pull request, linus thinks it’s too big and touches too much other code for the current state of the release cycle, dev says his filesystem is the future and should just be merged

That’s not the only issue, fat32 also has a hard limit on single file size. The largest a single file can be is 4GiB, and afaik you just can’t get around that with fat.

iirc, the way windows deals with this in its media creation tool is that it strips out locales and other things you don’t need, based on the options you selected previously, so the file ends up being small enough to fit.

Wait why was iso not intended to be used like this? As far as I can see, it was always meant as a digital image of a CD, which is how it was used, and pretty much still is right?

iirc there was a reason you should use dd instead of directly copying the data, I think something to do with device block alignment or something?

No, the drive needs a boot partition for the bios to know there is something to be booted on the drive.

Most Linux ISO’s do properly include the partitions in the ISO, so you can clone the iso to a drive and that should work, using dd for example. But just copying the files won’t work.

iirc windows iso’s did use to support just creating a fat32 partition and moving all the files over, not sure how they managed that. But now the international ISO for win 11 has a file that’s more than the max 4Gb allowed by fat32, so you can’t do that anymore either.

Can’t you just install openbox on any other distro? Looks like it’s available for all the major ones at least.

That one seems to only do remote streaming over network. Droidcam can be used over a USB connection as well, which works much more reliably (than the wireless version of droidcam, at least) in my experience.

Your script uses gh, which I think is the github cli, to clone a repository.

It would be easier for most people to just do a git clone git@github.com:umlaeute/v4l2loopback (or git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback). I don’t really understand why you’d use gh for something as simple as a clone tbh.

Ahh I thought they were just making a service for the normal spotify application, yeah in that case it makes sense to use a service. Didn’t know spotifyd is something else

If you just want it to auto-start at login, you could create a symlink from the .desktop file to ~/.config/autostart.

Something like ln ~/.local/applications/spotify.desktop ~/.config/autostart (or ln /usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop ~/.config/autostart if that’s where it installed to).

I believe most DE’s will pick this up automatically.

Firefox also has a built-in list of user agent overrides for websites that don’t work on Firefox for no reason.

You can create an issue here, and maybe they’ll fix it at some point. Not sure what the normal turnaround is for fixes like this though, could take a while.

You can see the list in about:compat btw

I think the command you’re looking for is ujust, which I believe all ublue images have

Just fyi, that is not Fedora workstation, thats a Fedora atomic spin, which is an immutable os. Installing packages and updating works a bit different than a normal distro.

The bootloader thing doesn’t happen anymore with UEFI I believe. Each os has its own boot partition now.

All windows can do is make itself the first boot option, which you’d have to reverse in your bios.
