  • What's the best option to run Solidworks in Linux?

    Jump

  • The 3D stuff around games is actually the smaller problem. It's performance critical but it's basically "just" one API (bundle) to implement that then covers a big chunk of the game's implementation.

    Productivity software usually consists of a shit ton of other stuff. They would probably render fine, but then they ship with a weird ass licensing management system that will deny to work. Or parts of or even a whole app use .NET and suddenly you have the complexity of all the WinAPI calls hidden behind .NET Framework. Maybe the app does a few lowlevel WinAPI calls themselves on top, that Wine didn't need to implement so far. Or the app you want to run is only distributed via Windows Store as UWP; the necessary APIs also haven't been implemented yet.

    Wine is awesome, but it's not fully covering all the shit Window's APIs offer.

  • WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"

    Jump

  • A company that lets you use Linux as a main OS might not like if you also want to run Windows in a VM.

    My point was rather to be careful when you use it, to not get into legal trouble (especially because it just works with the default settings).

    Jump

  • Unless you somehow use it commercially. Then the missing license could cause legal issues.

  • Backup/Server Options - is Syncthing / Nextcloud really the go?

    Jump

  • That, on the other hand, is only viable, if you are sure, data never needs to expire. Dedicated backup solutions work with retention policies.

  • Any self hosted personal finance projects doing anything interesting with AI that you've found value in?

    Jump

  • Where I could see an LLM being useful is categorizing entries and maybe proposing sanitization (for example when the payment provider uppercases or abbreviates stuff)

  • Maybe drops open-source support - pivots to B2B data and scenario planning

    Jump

  • From maybe to definitely not.

  • OwnCloud CardDAV is frozen

    Jump

  • Just to clarify: OwnCloud or OwnCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS)?

  • Linux and Secure Boot certificate expiration

    Jump

  • The main advantage of SB is TPM. At runtime the key isn't available and unlocking your disk works automatically as long as nothing has been tampered with (which is then also a nice canary: if you suddenly have to enter your password during boot, something's off).

  • Linux and Secure Boot certificate expiration

    Jump

  • Even having no pre-boot PIN with SB on is nice, then you only need your user space login where you could even use fingerprint reader if you like. For servers they can already start serving without anyone having to intervene manually (which is nice after power outage, for example).

    So yeah, SB, TPM and FDE are a very nice bundle that heavily secures against the most relevant attack vectors.

  • Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

    Jump

  • For the user they come with the OS

    That's my point, though. Plasma isn't an OS. You can can have a OS that ships Plasma with Calligra instead of LibreOffice and Falkon instead of Firefox. Or neither, and instead they give you a greeter with the choice to pick your browser. Or the OS is minimal and doesn't bundle any of them. In Arch for example you normally don't even get Konsole or Dolphin unless you install them (or you pick the nuclear option and install _all _ KDE packages which also includes a ton of stuff you likely never need).

  • Inside China's Mini PC Production: How Tiny Computers Are Made

    Jump

  • Probably some fastboot shit. I like the idea of fastboot... if only it wasn't so tied to Windows.

  • Inside China's Mini PC Production: How Tiny Computers Are Made

    Jump

  • The ONLY thing I don't like about it is having to finish the install of windows before you can wipe the ssd.

    Why? Can't you get to the bios, change to usb boot loader, boot linux and wipe the disk?

  • [PSA] Malware distributed on the AUR

    Jump

  • AUR is the place for unverified submissions. The verified stuff typically ends up in the main repos.

  • Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

    Jump

  • The preinstalled apps are not a feature of KDE (or Gnome, XFCE, etc.). Actually they all are structured in a very modular way where you can use or omit individual components. Firefox and LibreOffice are completely independent of it even; they merely add compatibility layers to make the integration more seamless.

    What you experienced was something to attribute to the distribution you chose. They are the ones to decide which components to bundle and preinstall. That is also the reason why so many distributions exist in the first place, because different teams/devs have different visions about what the desktop should look and feel like after install.

  • [SOLVED] Podman quadlet adding files to container - Europe Pub

    Jump

  • I think you won't regret it. If the container startup installs stuff, you might lock yourself out when the remote server has issues, your network has issues, or if the package you install changes due to an update.

    With it baked into an image, you have reproducible results. If you build a new image and it doesn't work anymore, you can immediately switch back to the old one and figure out the issue without pressure.

  • IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)

    Jump

  • it doesn't matter

    Hehe.

    Anyway, I am also completely on Zigbee. While I like the concept of Matter over Thread, I wouldn't want to switch, because it will start with a too small network to cover a good distance and if I start replacing Zigbee devices, I effectively sabotage that network as well. So my only move would be to replace all Zigbee with Matter/Thread devices. And that seems insane. So I hope I keep getting new Zigbee devices for a while.

  • [SOLVED] Podman quadlet adding files to container - Europe Pub

    Jump

  • The idiomatic way would be to build your own image. That's exactly the strength of the layering of container images.

  • The thread is about snap and why it's worse than flatpak.
