How do i stop this kind of pop up from ever appearing again? Win10
  • gaming on linux has gotten MUCH, MUCH better over the past handful of years. I’ve been on linux exclusively for 6 years and in that time ive gone from using Lutris for everything and only installing the few verified titles through fairly complex wineconfigs other people made, to a brief check of protondb before installing whatever i want from Steam and having it work out of the box. basically the only things that don’t work anymore are competitive anticheat softwares, like Valorant’s.

    VPN and port forwarding
  • I was going to link you to Mullvad’s port forwarding guide but it looks like they removed that feature just this year

    When Open Becomes Opaque: The Changing Face of Open-Source Hardware Companies
  • I have to disagree with the notion that China doesn’t respect open-source hardware. Alibaba group just recently open sourced some of the most useful, including the most powerful RISC-V core to-date. Open sourcing processor IP is almost unheard of. China is pushing the RISC-V and open hardware envelope pretty hard. They definitely do still profit off of American open hardware, but that’s a good thing for the consumer most of the time.

    Why it's not possible to be an ethical billionaire
  • unfortunately the guy in the video is a fervent anticommunist and zionist (if he is who i think he is, thehistorywizard on tik tok). he has the occasional good take, and then starts going off about “tankies” being nazis or israel being socialist and it’s like, cmon man

    Warframe in Linux/Proton?
  • that’s totally fair, it’s not for everyone. the installation and configuration process is pretty long. however, day-to-day maintenance is very minimal if that’s what you’re worried about. i usually touch the terminal ~1x a day, just to update, and then go about internet browsing and gaming. however, if gaming is your focus, i would encourage you to check out nobara, as another commenter said. it was designed around gaming, by the same guy (gloriouseggroll) who made the custom version of wine i mentioned in my first comment. it’s fedora-based, so it shouldn’t be any harder to use than debian or ubuntu.

    btop++ show different reading than DUA
  • It’s not this significant (3x). it should be closer to 7%. My guess is that OP is using something like btrfs, whose data used is calculated differently due to the CoW nature, and btop++ is using using a generic tool to estimate disk usage rather than the btrfs utility that DUA is almost certainly using.

    Warframe in Linux/Proton?
  • There really isn’t any manual setup required even on desktop Linux, as long as you have all your drivers installed. Valve has done a really good job making gaming on Linux super painless

    Warframe in Linux/Proton?
  • I run Arch (btw). What are you looking to use? If you’re comfortable with a terminal or willing to read a lot of documentation to get there (it’s all fairly approachable and well laid out) and rolling release suits your needs, I definitely recommend Arch.

    EDIT: whoops thought you were OP. recommendation still stands though

    Warframe in Linux/Proton?
  • I’ve been running Warframe on Linux for a little over 4 years now. You used to have to use a custom version of wine, and proton was totally borked, but Lutris made that setup easier. However, now it works flawlessly through proton. Couldn’t be easier, and I’ve switched to the Steam version because of it. DE not only doesn’t care if you use proton, they’ve actively pushed (minor) patches to support running on proton. You shouldn’t have any issues.

    Where do you go on Lemmy for reliable news and politics?
  • the theory that neutrality is objective is fucking mind numbing. the right wing reactionary perspective is never, has never been, and will never be grounded in anything resembling facts. they consistently disregard actual evidence to promote bigotry and divide the working class.
