MartinXYZ, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I’ve been gaming on Linux for several years, I’ve really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.

Wow… just wow… QIII on BSD 25 years ago… yeah, that must have been hell to set up…

I knew nothing about linux 2 years ago and started with installing Debian on my surface go 2. This explains why I couldn’t get the web cam to work to this day.

Try frimware binary blob packages, those usually have whatever to make the thingie work with the Linux kernel.

deleted,

I’m not sure what do you mean by firmware blob but Ive done the following:

  1. Added non-free to the sources file.
  2. Installed Surface-linux lib.

There is a guide in surface-linux library which requires compiling something with CMAKE. I’m not comfortable at the moment to do it since I don’t have the time to fix it if something went wrong.

I couldn’t find a good touch gui for debian so ill give ubuntu a shot.

In the non-free repo, there should be something like firmware-broadcom, firmware-amd, firmware-intel, etc. Those are binary blobs, closed source firmware (supplied by the manufacturer) that is loaded in the device in order to make it work with the linux kernel. See the make and model od the device via lspci or lsusb (depends on how the device is connected to the PC) and see the make and model. If it’s, let’s say, Broadcom, install the Broadcom firmware package and restart the rig.

Regarding cmake, you could use BTRFS to revert everything back to the way it was, just make a restore point before doing make install.

fl42v, in Windows is also effective in removing the bootloader (linux bootloader)

Bootloaders are overrated, use efistub instead 😁

Please remove my bootloader one last time!

I’m waiting for a Mariah Carey Christmass Edition Linux.

I may have spent too many years in the service industry

I use Void Linux because I don’t have too much free time (for figuring out all the little moments with configuring something more automated like Debian for my laptop, or for compiling stuff in Gentoo, or for micromanaging Slackware).

Void saves you compiling time as well 👍.

I seriously doubt any community out there gets as much comments as Linux Memes 🤣🤣🤣. You just drop a pic and everyone is like “uuu, I gotta comment on that, can’t resist 😬” 🤣🤣🤣.

    WTF man, I was just trying to make a funny comment 🤦.

    Well, at least you’re honest.

    As always my boy openSUSE left to the wayside :(

    There's probably a chameleon there, but well camouflaged...

    Grass, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

    This one didn’t age quite as poorly as some of the others. I have gotten to the point of generally preferring Linux gaming now though. Bsd is still a bit lacking for my general computing but opnsense on my router is one of those ‘where has this been all my life?’ things.

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    OpnSense wasn’t quite there yet a few years ago. Now, it’s golden 👍! Don’t know why people still prefer pfSense over OpnSense, it’s so much easier to set up and maintain.

    Grass,

    I didn’t try pfsense but it sounded like opnsense suited me better and I have had no reason to change so far. It has also made managing my self host stuff so much easier but a lot of it is pending being redone with more future proofing.

    I’m on NixOS where do I fit

    Scribbd,

    On the hidden “Do you believe that everything should be defined as code?”

    akincisor,

    Do you “see the matrix”?

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    That’s a new concept… should be somewhere between Linux admin and Hoodie IMO… or maybe before Linux admin.

    where void linux

    owatnext,

    You don’t choose the Void, the Void chooses you.

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Yeah, that was a bummer for me as well 😔. Should be there with Arch and next ones should be Gentoo and LFS.

    Tangent5280, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

    whats that at the end?

    deleted,

    Looks like TempleOS tier OS

    That’s FreeBSD, if I recall TrueNAS is based on it

    Wikipedia if interested

    Oisteink,

    Not sure where I’d put net- or open- in this, but I guess it’s meant to cover them all

    9point6,

    Isn’t freebsd the more general purpose, more bleeding edge (comparatively) option with openbsd having a focus on security and netbsd with a focus on portability and stability.

    KpntAutismus, (edited )

    Truenas Core is Freebsd-based, Truenas Scale is debian-based i believe.

    0x4E4F,

    FreeBSD. It’s the new logo, the old one was with a little devil with a trident.

    This is quite dated somehow

    Crashumbc,

    That doesn’t mean it is not a great meme!

    Just look at all the butt hurt comments complaining about the content :)

    SonnyVabitch, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

    What’s P! and LM?

    shotgun_crab, (edited )

    Pop! OS and Linux Mint

    SonnyVabitch,

    Thanks!

    Pop_OS! and Linux Mint.

    BoastfulDaedra, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

    I am one of the few who once had BSD installed on a laptop, and GOD DAMN do I miss being that weirdo.

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    You can still do it 🤷 👍.

    Steamymoomilk, in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷

    My comment is still compiling from source
