bruhduh, (edited ) in Switching to Debian on my gaming pc
@bruhduh@lemmy.world avatar

I was daily driving arch for 5 years and decided to switch two months ago just like you now and running Debian 12 happily, tried fedora, set subvolumes to timeshift btrfs to work because it was not installed out of the box, and after update from 38 to 39 with official gui update tool, it broke and locked away ssd so i had to recover data, after that i installed Debian 12 and had no problems at all, machine ALWAYS ready to work and stable as fuck, heavenly experience so far actually

DonnerWolfBach, (edited ) in (Solved) how to deactivate hover click on kde plasma (and how did it get activated in the first place)?

While I did not figure out a solution yet, but I found out some additional information and came to the conclusion that nixos must have built something weirdly. Thus I posted on the nixos forum and will likely only update there: discourse.nixos.org/t/…/36643

gomp, in Have a pixelated bonfire to warm your night. (Image size is ~ 19KiB.)

Wow! This is almost as useful as neofetch ;-)

Laser, in Video editor for Linux?

Nobody mentioned Olive yet, that one is very good, though I’m always concerned about the continuation of its development.

dario, in FOUND file in device by hex content using wxHexEditor

Not much related, but I want to chime in to express my gratitude for what I consider the most underrated piece of software in the FOSS ecosystem. Better known hex editors pale in comparison to wxHexEditor in terms of features and user interface. I suggest you to tweak the colors for better viewing (I can share my configuration file) and to upgrade to the latest unstable revision because many important fixes landed since the last stable version.

luthis,

Yeah definitely share your config! I’ve only just scratched the surface with wxHexEditor

Holzkohlen, in Video editor for Linux?

I (very occasionally) use Kdenlive. I think it’s pretty good.

Holzkohlen, in Dual Boot Best Practices?

External drive as in via USB? You folks must have had better experiences than I, because I have absolutely zero faith in the USB interface.

Holzkohlen, in Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?

Use dd next. Go for a trash your install speedrun! Hey, it’s the quickest way to learn 🤷‍♂️

luthis, in Video editor for Linux?

You could try kdenlive.org and www.openshot.org

I haven’t done much editing, but they are fairly popular and decent tools. They also come as an AppImage, which means they pretty much ‘just work.’

And handbrake.fr gets a mention for transcoding.

Nibodhika, in Video editor for Linux?

The only one I know of is kdenlive, not sure of it can do all of that but it has always been enough for everything I needed for video editing.

Ozy, (edited ) in Is there a way to autocomplete user defined search terms in firefox search

YES THERE IS, THERE IS A TOOL FOR LINUX THAT TURNS KEYWORDS INTO WHATEVER YOU WANT THEM TO BE, I just need to find it again so hold on FOUND IT, IT’S espanso.org

Ozy, in Dual Boot Best Practices?

If you plan on using windows only for games and absolutely nothing else then there isn’t much of a point in making a shared partition between the two OS’es. Just keep them separate, to each partition its own. (So your first example win 100gb, Linux 400gb is what I personally would go with)

Unyieldingly, in nvidia-535 and Debian

Backports use to get Nvidia updates, I don’t know if this is the case anymore.

fraddron, in Dual Boot Best Practices?

Default boot to Linux! I had dual boot set up for years and never actually booted into Linux. Once I changed the default to Linux I never booted into windows again (and eventually deleted that partition)

IrritableOcelot, in Ayaneo Retro PC: Inspired by Mac, Runs Windows, Supports Ubuntu

So it’s a “gaming” machine with only integrated graphics, in a small and presumably not-that-well-cooled, albeit retro, case? I don’t see the appeal, and the article reads like ad copy, not a genuine opinion.
