I tried Waydroid on Arch and its amazing. It runs Android apps flawlessly. And with a touchscreen device, I feel like I have an Android tablet running inside my Linux machine....
F1tv, Amazon music and that’s about it more or less. I’ll occasionally use it on my steam deck for some android games but I don’t play more than maybe 3 or 4 android games total and that’s rare.
Yeah, Multiviewer is a huge PITA to use on steam deck since it gets wiped on updates, Brave, my browser of choice is explicitly blocked from the web version and I’m used to the android interface so it seemed right on my main PC since I already needed to do it this way on my deck.
Hello, I’m facing some rather annoying issues with running KDE6 on Wayland. Despite consulting the Arch Wiki and various online resources, I haven’t been able to get it working. X11 works fine, so I’ve been sticking with X exclusively due to my limited experience with desktop Linux and troubleshooting....
I already own the 3070ti because it was just what I had before switching to Linux. It works great and I’m not keen on trying to swap cards until I can afford one that is a reasonably large step up. Plus when I do upgrade I plan making this one a dedicated transcoding\ai card so I don’t want to sell it. I do intend on never buying nVidia ever again after living through tons of driver bs while my other AMD system is a very smooth experience. Generally it seems to me the idea of selling the card and buying another when it’s not needed is sorta throwing the baby out with the bathwater kind of situation.
Sorry it took me so long to test this all out, thanks a bunch, this seems to have solved the issue. I guess I did indeed miss a step. There are certainly some weird bugs I’m getting right now with flickery apps and such but that’s sorta what I expected. HDR even works which is very nice to see. Regardless, I appreciate you taking the time to assist me here, I will have a play around and get my Waydroid config all sorted now.
Mandrake, I wanna say ~1998 or so. But tbh, I only recently finally took the plunge and wiped all traces of M$ off my system. I’ve tried Linux distris over the years and always just couldn’t make them work for me for one reason or another. Red hat, Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Pop_OS, Manjaro, Arco, Endeavor. Nothing really worked out for me and something inevitably broke that genuinely wasn’t my fault. Now, I have settled on pure Arch with KDE and for some reason, it’s been stable and been used daily for months now and I can’t think of one thing that could ever make me go back, or anywhere else for that matter.
One of the main reasons I made the switch from 10 to 11 and I used it constantly. I have several services that simply don’t work right from the web interface because of the drm BS. Being able to use the android apps worked great even if side loading an alternative store was a little bit of a pain on initial setup.
I am even more glad I recently made the switch to a 100% Linux environment at home. I have a simple waydroid install and it works much easier and is equally integrated into the desktop experience when compared to WSA. Only hassle is making sure you have a Wayland compositor since it won’t work with x11 but that’s just confirming a configuration essentially so par for the course really.
Regardless, this would be very disappointing if I hadn’t already had an alternative.
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!...
I wouldn’t really call myself a distro hopper, but in the last few months I’ve had to do some fresh installs on a couple of machines and VMs for work...
Oh, this is a flipping great question. So much fun as I’ve just settled on one distro. M$ won’t allow me to transfer my transferrable Windows license and I refuse o pay yetagain for Windows so Linux is my sole OS from now on. I have had so many weird issues or configuration woes with a ton of OSs ive been trying. So I tell ya, I sure have installed my fair share of them in the last month or so.
GUI:
Steam (Gotta get my game on)
ProtonPlus
Lutris
Heroic
Winetricks
Protontricks
VLC
Brave
Bitwarden(Probably the second most important software in my life)
Authy
Krusader (No idea why but Ill use this before the built in file manager sometimes)
Plex htpc
Kate - Notepadqq (havent decided which one i like best yet)
PolyMC
LibreOffice
Flatpack (I always prefer the native package but flatpack has almost anything the repositories lack)-
Appimagelauncher (Just for ease of use, appimages are a always third fiddle but are a great backup as flatpacks can be - limited in available software compared)
Gimp (Almost exclusively because the name makes me giggle)
OBS Studio
CLI:
MC (100% always the first this I ever install no matter what)
HTOP (Not standard in all as many distros as i would think)
Openssh
Cifs-utils
Starship
Zsh
Neofetch
Tmux (Cant live without it)
Of course there are tons of other small things I add but those are the ones I will have installed likely before I go to reboot for the first time. The rest of what I interact with is generally running on my server so it’s all web based stuff for the most part. I use VNC often to interact with virtual machines, do tech support for my son so i don’t have to get up (disabled). I haven’t really found a Linux VNC client i genuinely like. I used to use TightVNC with Windows and it’s about the only thing I miss. I do have a Guacamole docker running on my network but unless you have a physical KB/M it’s less than preferable to use. I’ll find something I like eventually I’m sure. 👍-----
Frankly, you are probably right. I am pretty new to all thisandwhat I have here is basically just cobbled together from nonsense examples I scrounged up off the internet. What’s funny is, a good 20% of this I have no idea how it works! Lol
Originally i was juat going to make the script simply a list of all my mount commands and not even post anything about it at all. I spent a good two days playing around with about a dozen different ideas on how to accomplish my goal until this one, the first that worked at all. But yeah, I have been doinh a lot of fun stuff since I officially dropped Windows entirely a few weeks ago and a lot of the inner workings of how Linux works in general is just starting to make sense to me.
Pretty much the Arch wiki and the Gentoo wiki alongwith copious amounts of google fu have become an all encompasing hobby of mine as of late. I’ll get there eventually. 😁
I actually did try that but I messed it up somehow and didn’t get it working. I then sawanexample similar to what I did here and since it seemed to work for them, I copied it. Would also be able to ping the NAS itself instead so you can not only confirm the network is up but also confirm the NAS is listening and replying properly. 100% sure there are better ways to do almost everything here but it was my first big win and I had to share. 😂
Not surprised really. Netflix was part of my cellphone plan, when I switched plans, I just couldn’t rationalize it anymore. I remember as a young working teenager loving how I could just mail those DVDs back and forth. I’ve never not had a Netflix since they first launched. Feels odd really, but ultimately I just can’t abide their shenanigans.
