mexicancartel, in any cool ideas what i could do with termux?

Termux yeah. I use it everyday. So here is a (long) list

  • Use ffmpeg to convert videos or even edit it(with current 6.x version, mediacoded hwaccel is availiable)
  • yt-dlp
  • Use vim and emacs, maybe code something
  • Integrate it with other plugin apps like Termux:API(lots of system apis), Termux:Boot, Termux:Float(floating terminal), Termux:Widget, even Termux:X11 For running gui apps
  • You can run gui apps with other X servers like XSDL
  • Compile and run programs that is not availiable for arm(Worst thing, but i still does it. Much hassle and error prone, but fine for smaller programs)
  • Use ssh to connect to other devices
  • Install x11-repo and thus install xfce and firefox desktop(for fun)
  • Install proot-distro and use distros like debian, arch, ubuntu, manjaro, void, fedora, etc. which is cli only by default but you can install any DE.(You can combine display server from XSDL)
  • Use git, clone a repo, make changes, use it or push commit, whatever you do with git
  • Use your normal standard linux commands to browse thru your filesystem and make changes
  • neofetch, cpufetch, rxfetch, htop, gotop, cmatrix and hollywood for lolz
  • tmux, byobu or gnu screen
  • Tar, gzip and all coreutils
  • cryptomining(DON’T do that)
  • Test your webpage locally (php -S localhost:port)

Ahem I wasted a lot of time making this list i think i have to go now lol

SSUPII, in It either runs on Linux or refund

One of the refunds reasons you can select is “the game doesn’t run on my PC”. This is completely valid.

JasSmith, in It either runs on Linux or refund

Or do as I do.

  1. Buy game.
  2. Never play it.

I have a problem.

Or as I do:

  1. Watch videos of Cyberpunk
  2. Think of buying it
  3. Realize I still haven’t finished Mass Effect
  4. Never actually buy Cyberpunk.

Currently I’m thinking of Baldur’s gate 3, but you know… I’ll probably get around to it in a few years.

You’re allowed to get another game even if you haven’t finished a previous one. You’re only here for like 80ish years so why not sample all that interests you?

Ricaz,

It’s not that great tbh. I spent maybe 6 hours in it and didn’t get hooked. With BG3 however, I’m at 60 hours and I can’t put it down

cooopsspace, in It either runs on Linux or refund

Blaming the Publishers and Devs because it’s actually pretty hard to fuck up a game so that it doesn’t work on proton these days

BaalInvoker, in It either runs on Linux or refund

Complex and recent games run on Linux these days.

Not allowing run a game in Linux is, nowadays, a choice from its developer rather then a causality. Proton is a really powerful tool!

If a game don’t run in Linux, via Proton or natively, that’s dev issue that actively blocked Linux.

Elderos,

It is almost always due to the anticheat programs.

BaalInvoker,

Still… There are anticheats that allow Linux, like EAC, Hyperion and many others… If they choose one that does not allow Linux, or choose one that allow Linux but block it, it’s a dev issue

Elderos,

Virtually no anticheat worked on Linux just a few years ago except maybe Valve and Blizzard in-house solutions. Games that are out and already committed to a specific anticheat can’t do much but to wait, so it is not really on them. Changing the anticheat solution mid-way on a released game would piss off so many people you can’t imagine. On a brand new game though, I would agree that this should be considered.

epyc rome chips are coming down and epyc 1st gen is like 160 for a 32 core

GenBlob, in It either runs on Linux or refund

If there’s a game that can’t run on Linux in the current year then that’s intentional and it’s not worth anyone’s money.

thepiguy, in It either runs on Linux or refund

I mean, it is not a fault on Linux’s end. We have all the tools we need in the form of wine and dxvk, it’s the game which fails to work due to some obscure dependency or a mandatory rootkit. One great example is genshin- the game itself works flawlessly, but it has a rootkit which obviously does not work on Linux and you have to patch it out.

Honytawk, in It either runs on Linux or refund

Well, you can’t blame developers to not cater to their 1% player base. Especially since that group usually have the most problems and requires more development time.

youngGoku,

Is it really that much detached from macOS though? They can dist to Mac then Linux shouldn’t be much different, right?

rotopenguin, in Why I dislike snaps
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

On the plus side, snaps also crap your system log full of petty little AppArmor events. And when snap gets its permissions wrong, you can easily fix it with SnapSeal.

(If Flatpak would just fucking stop rewriting every file path as /var/run/1000/blah, it would be the unquestionably superior package tech)

SirNuke,
@SirNuke@kbin.social avatar

Friction between Snap and AppArmor is to be expected. The corporate sponsor of Snap, Canonical, is well known for their icy relationship with the corporate sponsor of AppArmor, Canonical.

SSUPII, in yas-bdsm: Yet Another Stow-Based Dotfiles System Manager

He knows

NateSwift,

You can think of yas-bdsm eject as your safeword.

He definitely knows

AJamesBrown,

You can put whatever you wish inside of YAS-BDSM as long as everyone is having a good time.

Feel free to use it (or get used by it).

Now I need to know who the hell has installed Free Download Manager on Linux.

Auli, in Purism Announce New 11-Inch Linux Tablet

Really people still purchase from this company? I wonder how many years people we’ll have to wait to not get their tablet?

flashgnash, in Forge/popshell Gnome tiling extension is broken by steam

Can’t say I’ve run into the issue but personally I just exclude steam from forge’s tiling anyway as I don’t want it to try to tile games

lotanis, in Help me understand Linux distros updates.

You can update your version of Fedora through the updater software as well but it’s a very clear separate process that is initiated manually.

Distro version updates bring major updates to key packages - the one you’d notice most would be to Gnome, the desktop environment. There will be other things too that get only bugfix and security updates during the life of that version, and then after a while that version will lose support and you won’t get any updates at all (docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/).

Updating is very safe and reliable. I’ve had my Fedora install at work for 3 years, updating periodically and it’s working extremely well.

cryball,

To OP: this is a much clearer & better explanation for what I was trying to say.
