Hello guys! While I am a relatively experienced programmer, I have practically zero experience on the hardware/electronics side of things. I really want and need (I’d like to work in embedded systems) to get this stuff in my “tool belt” of skills, but I am really worried that I will do something wrong or order the wrong...
If your looking for hardware components, adafruit.com has many prebuilt modules that are (mostly) usable without soldering. There’s also sites like thepihut.com that sell similar things but from other manufactures too. There’s also mouser but that’s just for the individual components which you would have to construct a circuit for yourself.
If you have no or very little experience then you’ll likely find it more difficult than you expect, make sure you know what your doing and try to find exact instructions for everything. Basically don’t try to design or modify things yourself.
A couple of years ago with my old phone (running if I don’t remember wrong Android Pie) and my old laptop (running Manjaro KDE) I discovered KDEConnect and how it could enable a clipboard sharing feature similar to the one Apple provides between Macs and iPhones. It was great! Now, after having changed both my phone (now...
There is a config option that doesnt share passwords, “as marked by password managers” idk how well it works but it might block that behavior. On the PC side in clipboard configs in kde connect.
Just windows, I had windows 10 installed on my laptop and was constantly fighting with windows update so when the system broke (wouldn’t boot) I finally installed Ubuntu. These days I use arch BTW.
Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...
This year we made good progress. You know, Linux gaming becoming better, Reddit fucking up, Metaverse failing etc. But on the other hand Big Tech has or are planning to make some moves. Such as, Google’s Web Enviroment Integrity API (EDIT: they backed off), UK’s encryption bill, etc....
I’d just like to say that if something says Ubuntu support it will very likely work on all Debian based distros unless its something really low level and your running one that swapped out systemd or something. They normally just mean that they ship their software as a .deb file and even that can be installed on non Debian distros if your willing to do some special stuff. Also as for drivers/firmware I’ve never had any issues except when trying to use a distros that doesnt include non-free firmware.
With the widespread support for Steam/Valve on this forum because of their contributions to making Linux gaming easier, I’m now confused as to why people here are using Linux in the first place....
I like to tinker with it and the lack of restrictions on low level stuff. The ability to completely change anything about he system that is restricted on other platforms. No data is sent from the system unless you actively enable it. Its stable, I have a raspberry pi that can run for months without error whereas windows bluescreened once every 2 weeks with regular usage. Its free.
I thought about using OpenVPN for piracy, since it’s open source and can be easily set up on Arch Linux. Does anyone know about the quality of it or if I should use another VPN?
Openvpn is a protocol that other vpns can use, the speed and quality would still depend on what provider you use. A provider would provide a config file that would include all the info required by openvpn to create the connection, as long as they include that then you could use openvpn.
