vortexal, to asklemmy in What's the most recurring theme/element in your nightmares?

I think it’s that they always turn from full color to “black and red” when they get too stressful for me.

Ok thanks.

vortexal, to linux in Most painless way to play Old School Runescape on Linux?

It’s been a while since I’ve played either Runescape or OSRS and my accounts were never upgraded to Jagex accounts, if I upgrade one of them to a Jagex account, is it possible to link my other account to that same Jagex account?

vortexal, to asklemmy in If your toilet was sentient, would you rather that it begged *for* your poop, or that it begged you to *not* poop in it?

Would it lick me clean or would I still have to wipe myself?

vortexal, to gaming in Best Soulslike game for beginners?

You could try Animus: Stand Alone, the android version isn’t available anymore but the PC, Xbox, Switch and iOS versions seem to still be available. It had a sequel called Animus: Harbinger but it seems like only the Switch and iOS versions are the only ones still available. There was also a third Animus game but Revenant is quite different from the first two.

Another game I can recommend is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It was only ever available for the PS2 and Xbox but it’s gameplay, especially during bosses, is similar to dark souls.

vortexal, to asklemmy in You've heard of Fake Taxi but what are some other 'fake' scenarios that would make solid setups or just be humorous?

Fake Gamer

I once saw a video where a guy was talking to his sister’s best friend about Fallout 3. He didn’t know how to leave the vault without killing the overseer and she said that she would only help him if he banged her.

vortexal, to linux in Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article)

I didn’t see anyone else mention this but, as someone who uses Linux Mint, if you are going to install software through the Software Manager, read the reviews for the app you want before downloading it. Linux Mint’s Software Manager is full of apps that are so outdated that some of them aren’t even compatible with the current version of Linux Mint. There are other issues as well, like how there are at least 20 different versions of Wine and most of them are very old versions. I’d understand if they want to keep legacy apps for the older, still supported, versions of Linux Mint but it can be confusing to use sometimes.

vortexal, (edited ) to asklemmy in What did you get into as it was dying or otherwise on its way out?

I’ve forgotten the name but there was an “adult” MMO made for android devices that I played a while back. After I completed the tutorial, I was shown the announcements and it stated that the the game’s service was to end in about week.

I feel like I should have more but I can’t remember anything else.

vortexal, to linux in Are there any discrepancies between the resources an OS uses when running in a virtual machine vs being ran directly?

The main reason I’m currently staying with Linux Mint is because it’s what I have installed and it works for me. I may switch to a different distro in the future but right now, I have no reason to. I’d also have concerns about software availability, which from what I’ve seen, Debian (and I think Arch to some extent) currently has the most software available.

Also, Xfce is currently in the process of adding support for Wayland. They have stated in their roadmap that they want full support for Wayland in version 4.20 and they are working on porting everything and making sure that everything works. You can read about their current progress here: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

I’m not familiar with Fedora, as I’ve only ever used Debian and Debian derivatives. I also can’t seem to find any information on the system requirements for the LXQt spin of Fedora. I may still check it out in the future because I don’t know if I will always stick with the Xfce edition of Linux Mint for my main computer, but right now I’m just looking for a Linux distro for my old computer and Q4OS seems to be fine.

vortexal, to linux in Are there any discrepancies between the resources an OS uses when running in a virtual machine vs being ran directly?

I’ve been looking into lightweight Linux distros on and off for a while now, so I have heard of LXQt. The only problem is that I have no experience with installing a desktop environment, so if there is a distro that can use it and it would use less ram than the 32-bit version of Q4OS (which is already less than 256 MB), I’d want a distro that has it preinstalled.

It would be easy if there was a list/database that contained a sort-able list of how much ram every distro used. But I’ve never found one, the closest was a list of lightweight distros on Wikipedia but that list is very outdated and is also missing a lot of distros.

Did you not read the part of my post where I mentioned that I was planning on running this on an old computer that only has 1 GB of ram?

vortexal, to linux in Are there any discrepancies between the resources an OS uses when running in a virtual machine vs being ran directly?

On their website, it states that the minimum requirements for the OS are 256 MB, that’s what I was going off of. I even mentioned in my post that even if it was installable on a computer with 256 MB of ram that it would be pretty much useless.

Also, I just tested the 32-bit version and, like what another user stated, it does use less than 256 MB of ram, which means that their claim is right.

I was actually testing the trinity 64-bit version because it was the only version that had a live cd. I actually just downloaded the 32-bit version and I’m about to try it out.

RIght, I forgot that 64-bit binaries use more ram. And seeing that the 64-bit version does work fine with 1 GB of ram, in the off chance that there is something that should work but requires a 64-bit OS, I would still have the option to use the 64-bit version.
