  • SDL Developers Weigh Reverting Wayland Over X11 For SDL 3.0

    Jump

  • It's quite common with Phoronix. Larabel's running a committed and consistent open source news aggregator, but his English isn't the best.

  • [Q] Terminal navigation and Editors

    Jump

  • Seconding vim as the universal Unix/Linux editor. It takes a while to become a real vim pro, but learning basic usage is very helpful. Escape to switch to normal mode (where letters trigger functions instead of just typing), i to switch to input mode, : in normal mode to enter commands, :wq to save and quit, :q! to exit without saving - that alone should be enough to cover a lot of basic use cases. If you ever want to learn more, there are plenty of tutorials online.

  • New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

    Jump

  • I don't know about Mac, but on Windows the Mullvad app doesn't auto update. If you want to do it Windows style you can look for deb files (which are like installers) or AppImages (which are like standalone executables).

    Most pieces of software give terminal instructions for Linux because different people might use different package manager frontends, but literally every Linux user has a terminal. It might seem daunting at first, but giving users commands to run in their terminal is a lot more simple than trying to walk them through repo management through the GUI, or just telling them to figure it out themselves.

    Jump

  • The instructions on that page make it so that every time you run a system update, mullvad automatically updates as well. If you're happy doing the updating yourself, you can download the deb file from here: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/releases

    Embracer confirms 900 employees laid off in previous financial quarter

  • Distrochooser

    Jump

  • Why does this quiz have so many fuckin distributions? If a newbie is looking for a distro to install, why would you ever recommend anything more niche than Ubuntu/Mint, or Endeavour if they're interested in bleeding edge? I answered the questions as though I was new to Linux and got a massive list of every Ubuntu and Fedora derivative, with Manjaro sprinkled in for good measure.

  • So all that brutalist architecture, what if we just painted it? Not one colour, patterns to break it up.

    Jump

  • It's been done quite a bit throughout Eastern Europe. Here are some examples from Poland:

    Certainly a nicer colour scheme than dirty soul-crushing grey.

  • Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can't even hope to compete.

  • When was a game's price worth it to you?

    Jump

  • I suppose I'd prefer if short games weren't overly expensive, but I never liked the hours per dollar thing. I don't like replaying games. I'd rather buy six two-hour indie games for ten dollars each and have each one be at least somewhat unique and engaging, than spend 60 on a sprawling hundred hour AAA game filled mostly with repetition and busywork. Life's too short for that, you know?

  • What is the differences between "man" and "info" command

    Jump

  • Eh, to be honest, manpages aren't particularly good as either documentation or quick references (hence the popularity of tldr), and info is intended primarily for the sort of long-form, comprehensive documentation that would be awkward to fit in a manpage. Also, texinfo documents can easily be exported to HTML, so one format can be used for both online and offline docs. It's an admirable effort, if nothing else.

  • What is the differences between "man" and "info" command

    Jump

  • man is standard Unix manual pages, while info is a documentation format introduced/popularised by GNU. info pages usually have a lot more information (sometimes including tutorials, guided examples, links to different pages and sections, etc (depending on the project maintainer obviously)) but man pages are the standard and basically everything has one. If you run info [program] for something without a dedicated info page, it will show the man page instead.

  • KDE Gear 23.08.2 Released with More Fixes for Your Favorite KDE Apps

    Jump

  • "KDE Gear" is just the umbrella name for KDE programs: Dolphin is KDE Gear, Kdenlive is KDE Gear, etc. So, yes, it is being fixed directly in KDE code, and this is the announcement for the release of a bunch of these programs at the same time.

  • rule

    Jump

  • What! You can't say that!

  • Is there an indie games bubble?

    Jump

  • The article actually addresses this, but I feel "indie games bubble" is simply too broad a term. Is there a medium-high budget indie game bubble? Maybe. But can indie games in general even have a bubble? Fuckloads of indie games are passion projects, or made from crowdfunding money, or otherwise not based around the idea that they have to be the "product" of a sustainable business, making the whole idea of a "bubble" pointless. If the bubble pops, will itch indies stop making games? Will passionate solo devs languishing at double digit Steam review numbers stop releasing games? I don't think they will.

  • FPS gripe

    Jump

  • I believe Apex Legends and Call of Duty do, but I'm not sure. There are probably lists of them online somewhere.

  • FPS gripe

    Jump

  • Weak/no auto aim? Depends on the game you're playing, but I imagine CSGO doesn't have any. Maybe you could find a different shooter that accommodates joystick use?

  • Forty years of GNU and the free software movement

    Jump

  • Nope, because Hurd is created by the GNU project. Linux is entirely independent.
