I really don't want to own multiple machines and certainly don't want to lwn a clunky desktop. I was quite happy with Stadia, but need to look at external GPUs through oculink as that would provide me with the best of two worlds.

Currently, my gaming is very light with rather si lle graphics.

What's wrong about it?

And efficient on resources.

For those intrested, I created a !surfacelinux@lemmy.ml community here on Lemmy to collect information regarding linux on surface devices. Mods and contributors welcome!

I want to start with Btrfs and snapshots, is there a good, beginner friendly tutorial for those coming from a ext* filesystem?

Actually, windows puts 95% of it files in a single directory, and sometimes you get a surprise DLL in your \system[32] folder.

My bad! Had to change some settings 🙃

For Lemmy users who just want to hang out and chill, I created room just for this purpose: https://matrix.to/#/!JZpQqCGFnjfwKVcdxJ:matrix.org

Its super new, which means we can do what we want out of it.

Welcome!

Tallest man is really good. And if you see him live, his tallness will surprise you.

I got my kid on Gcompris when she was 2.5 year old, and noticed a lot of rough edges UX wise. Small things on how feedback was given to a kid, or the lack of separation between games depending on how suitable they were for different ages.

Still, I choose Gcompris any day over apps design around maximizing endorphin rewards and data collection. I just wish there were more quality FOSS games for toddlers.

Thank you for the detailed reply and the explanations to (mostly) all the jargon :-)

Sweden is also doing a lot of deprecation of old telephony systems, those that I know of is that 2G and 3G are going away by 2025.

The less tech debt we pass onto future generations, the better.

Many have already mentioned Obsidian, I too ventured to it from Joplin and couldn't be happier.

Other (FOSS) tools I use for productivity... GUI tools:

• nocodb - a web-based database which can be accessed over API too
• I'm keeping an eye on vikunja.io, hope to have it mature and implement more features regarding project management
• paperless-ngx, make order of your paper-mess.

CLI tools:

• Fish - a very nice and modern shell
• chezmoi - a really nice dotfile manager
• lsd instead of ls, dust instead of du, zoxide instead of cd
• kopia - awesome backup tool. How backup is related to productivity? Disaster recovery ;-)

I see @joojmachine@lemmy.ml already answered some of your questions, but regarding "why would hardware work differently on fedra", I assume it has to do with what kernel is being shipped, and what drivers that is also shipped with the distro by default. Sometimes drivers aren't shipped due to legal reasons, and a distro can be shipped with a kernel that dosen't have certain support for certain hardware.

I jumped ship from Ubuntu to fedora last year and fedora is awesome. Fedora has a bit newer packages and the default felt right (albeit I missed system tray plugin from Ubuntu). Some hardware work better OOTB on Ubuntu, so always try with a live distro first.

Just make sure about what you're getting yourself into: features such as IR facial detection and stylus input isn't supported on all models OOTB by the surface kernel. Also, it is a bit messy with how surface handles booting.

Linux on surface works (I got Ubuntu on both my Go gen 1 and pro 7) but expect to put in time to tinker and manage unexpected issues.

How is C more secure than Rust? Doesn't it lack features such as safe memory handling?

I'm surprised there isn't one for Tracy support, considering how many of us nerds hang out here.

Thanks for this. I think this is also an example of a opensource software that is selfhostable, but is intended for a different audience. I think Zammad, Monicahq etc fall under this category. I suppose one would need a solution with an entirely different architecture that's aimed for selfhosters, rather than hope that omnivore becomes easier to selfhost.

Can you elaborate on your experiences so far? What's required in order to selfhost it, and what features will be missing...?

I used and paid for wallabag, but it lacks so many basic features it was a pain to use. Just trying to tag articles was a chore, since wallabag doesn't suggest existing tags.
