With the plethora of great games getting released every month on PC, it's very hard to feel any excitment for a game that will probably release in 2027 on PC. It doesn't help that GTA Online left a sour taste, and even the single player story was only great for the first few hours then you just start doing heists for the fbi for the rest of the game. Considering we're only getting a cinematic trailer after all this wait, I'm expecting already multiple delays or cyberpunk-level of disaster at launch

This is a really childish and badly formulated take on Windows Users. Basically, linux circlejerk.

Multiple mistakes:

1. You went with a very old distro, Ubuntu 22.04 is almost 2 years old. You could pick a non-lts ubuntu instead. Thankfully you ended up picking Fedora.

2. A single google search could've given you better alternatives to FreeRDP like Remmina. You can always ask people stuff like this on Lemmy or elsewhere ("what's the best rdp client on linux?") rather than waiting till you run out of patience.

3. You shouldn't need to compile software by yourself, you can use flatpak to install newer versions of software and flathub even has a beta repo you can add for even newer software.

It's not against you, we all learn from mistakes. Just try to be more social about your linux journey if you don't want to struggle

Tldr: you made the classic mistake of going head first into this without a friend to help you or at least documenting yourself properly on the current state of Linux desktops through various medias like Youtube. It doesn't help that you suffered from the ol' "I'm a windows expert so this should be similar/easy and if it fails it's not my fault"

Don't take me wrong, there's some truth to this. But the way it's written screams "Windows users are drones because of evil Microsoft". That level of bias is not really constructive. There are more reasonable/rational ways to expand upon this phenemonon that doesn't end up in a circlejerk. Since it's quite a big wall of text, I will give one example.

The author makes a broad generalization that, because of Windows' mystification of its inner workings, Windows users can't even imagine the thought of becoming a programmer. And well, I know plenty of programmers that to this day have not even touched anything but Windows. Some of them never use the terminal, but some are quite good at it.

You want an honest answer? Fedora was never that great to begin with and went down quite a bit in quality since the whole patent debacle. I had to switch distros when Mesa was constantly breaking. Also, untested kernel updates would remove HDMI audio (and despite a fix being available they waited a crazy long time to push it) among many other things

Tumbleweed is just plain better.

I've been trying for a while, looking up other manifests helped me but I'm still lost on a few things. Maybe we could help each other. I am the creator of open-tv.

distrohopping till success it not a solution...

"Thanks to @Thorondir, I was able to resolve my crashing issues that began with 1.0: "Since 1.0 I couldn't start the game anymore. Turns out it's a kernel bug! See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3343

Enable 'Decoding Above 4G' and 'resize BAR' in BIOS."

Discord and matrix are not searchable, they shouldn't be used at all

It can be done, but the goal of this app was to reproduce the classic top caption memes in a single command. I might add more features like the one you're talking about.

It's not exactly lesser known, but I only use Kate on both Linux and Windows

I once left my phone non locked in my pocket once and it started typing a ton of gibberish in a serious group chat. So yep, could've been worse for you

I think you're being disingenuous, you perfectly understand this phenomenon but it doesn't appeal to you. Paying for pixels will always be dumb anyway.

Did you really judge the current state of linux by using a 2 year old distro?

Tumbleweed is pretty much the "official" kde distro

Gnome devs will never listen to criticism. Even if you do a MR it might get denied because it contraricts with the "Gnome way". Just use KDE and live an happy life. KDE can be easily modified to look like Gnome and have all the QOLs you need.

one of us should make an android phone company that makes a phone with an open source default rom, unlockable/relockable bootloader, headphone jack with a proper DAC, ir blaster, no notch or punchholes (like the note9), latest spec of USB for the port and latest Snapdragon chip

Could be a decent idea

I agree, but I think something is already in the works, I'll check and probably make something practical to sync the two. It's not really a new app that's needed but a feature integrated into freetube/newpipe

Those are fake indie games. They re-create the indie aesthethic to appeal to ethical consumers.

Dave the diver is not indie because it's published by Nexon.

Lies of P is made by a previously unsuccessful company, but it's also not indie. They made a lot of games in the past like Battlefield Online

Use Kimovil to check bands and specs. If it's a mediatek cpu, don't buy it, it has poor custom rom support. Only buy snapdragon fabbed by TSMC. Make sure this would be a popular phone (because only popular phones get roms) by checking hype. You will have to run Xiaomi.EU as your rom for a good while then maybe after a few years you might get some better roms.

And I did too because I wanted to make EPIC minecraft servers back in 2010 :)

You are lost, you use ventoy on a seperate usb. Then you can install whatever distro on your portable ssd. You can install multiple as long as your partition things well. It's not that difficult. You could have asked here instead of going on a rollercoaster of weird self-imposed problems.

I use a very very minimal OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE but I start the DE manually; startplasma-wayland or startx

Having Cosmic on Tumbleweed would be super awesome too

This is the most annoying thing about TW. You gotta do "zypper dup --no-recommends"

OpenSuse Tumbleweed if you want rolling

Debian if you want stable

Too much bloat, no bootloader unlock. International model can be bootloader unlocked but you can't change secure boot keys and relock.

That's the problem, discussions should happen on the open web, not hidden in chatrooms

Dell XPS or Latitude or Precision, ThinkPad P or X, Framework, LG Gram, System76 and other linux-focused manufacturers, Asus Vivobook

I actually wanted to add a template command to fetch some templates, I'm not sure if there's a good source though.

I played Ico (from shadow of the colossus + Ico HD) through RPCS3 and it's easily one of the best games I played.

There is a whole world out there and most MKBHD viewers aren't even from the US. Also, MKBHD reviews plenty of phones that aren't available in the US like the zenfones.

I've been looking for something like a this for a while. Thanks!

I can't believe sometimes I am part of the same community as people like you

Yes

Tumbleweed has been amazing. No hiccups ever. Some packages that I like are sometimes missing, but that's it.

Snapshots are a lot more flexible. You can make any modifications to your system without issue. Layering packages on image based distros is slow and annoying, to the point UBlue OS was born out of that annoyance.

Speed of package managers did matter in my original search, because my workflow was to open my pc, update everything, reboot, start working. But with Kalpa snapshots, my updates are started in the background then silently and promptly applied on next reboot, I don't even have to think about it. It's like offline updates but without the wait.

It used to be tauri, but due to a bug in tauri that lasted more than a year, I had to switch to electron. I've been thinking of switching back, but I've got other priorities

It's a dongle, I use OpenSuse Tumbleweed
