Eggshell9808, in Hardware video acceleration

I knew that there existed different types of hardware video encoders, but I always thought that it would get installed together with your gpu drivers. Thanks will check it out!

CaptDust,

It sometimes does.

That was my assumption as well. Thanks OP for sharing.

Illecors, in Sway-Talisman: Sway – Terminal Application Launcher in Scratchpad, Minimalist And Native

I’m not convinced this is better thatn my floating alacritty window piping through fzf, sort and xargs.

Repo needs at least screenshots, ideally a gif or two showing the product in action.

Other than that - great work!

mactan, in Winewayland.drv: part 11: Mouselook support · Merge requests

looking forward to trying wineland someday. got some weird cursor snapping issues on Wayland for now that need gamescope to work around on some games

lurch, in web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

Idk what “container” means in this case, but gimp is only like 80 MB + some dependencies you probably already have installed. Do you mean RAM or HD memory? In any case it should be much less than 64 GB.

the Linux terminal of chromeOS is a virtual machine but it does affect chromeOS, as in everything that gets downloaded from the terminal will show up as applications of course!!

phx, in [Solved] BSOD on Windows VM after update

You can boot the VM from a liveCD ISO and then mount the drives to extract files (share a USB storage device to easily get them off). You could also add a second virtual disk, put an NTFS partition on it (within the VM) and copy to that if you plan to rebuild the OS drive.

If you need the offsets of the partitions you could also mount them from the disk image directly via a loopback device, but that’s a bit more complicated.

When dealing with Windows either on bare metal or VMs, I’ve often found it useful to store my more important data on a second disk so that I can easily back it up and it will survive across a wipe+reinstall of the OS.

tubbadu,

This is a good life lesson I think XD i’m downloading a live iso as I don’t have one and i’ll boot the vm from there as soon as the download finishes
Thanks for the answer!

tubbadu,

I achieved to retrieve my files!!! thank you very very very much! Now I can try more “dangerous” way to resurrect it because my data are now safe in my USB drive

phx,

Glad it worked for you. Your could also try and of the recovery options after booting from a Windows ISO. I think there are a few things that can do there that aren’t in the boot-failure recovery menus.

If not, then at least your data is safe for a reinstall

mr_right, in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

Honytawk, in Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh

Depends on the laptop model.

Unless you have some business oriented laptop, the keyboard can not be replaced.

Laptop keyboard also are notorious for breaking when you try to replace a key.

So cheapest is stickers. But become sticky with residue after being used for a while.

Aatube, in Xenia wouldn't suggest that :c

Your UserAgent string

hottari, in Arch or NixOS?

You can setup your Arch with grub menu btrfs snapshots just like NixOS for convenient rollbacks. NixOS has too steep a learning curve, coming from someone who recently tried it and ended up being somewhat disappointed by it. NixOS sounds good on paper but in reality it is a long way from a mature product for desktop or general use.

As you mentioned Arch has AUR which packages just about anything and everything you could ever want in the future. And the Arch Wiki will never be “not relevant” so long as you are using Linux anywhere, the Arch Wiki is a handy reference.

qaz,

NixOS sounds good on paper but in reality it is a long way from a mature product for desktop or general use.

It’s 20 years old already, will it ever be ready at this point?

SpaceCadet, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?
@SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz avatar

On my QK80 mechanical keyboard I could do this:


<span style="color:#323232;">echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode
</span>

Maybe your keyboard driver has a similar parameter?

BaroqueInMind, (edited ) in Arch or NixOS?
@BaroqueInMind@kbin.social avatar

Once I found out about Paru, I decided I would no longer need another OS outside of everything Arch provides. Also, Valve decided to switch SteamOS to Arch, so I'm sticking with it once they release it.

mundane, in How to switch thr state of Fn keys?

You can usually switch the default in bios.

shasta, in I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

Yes, yes, you’re very special
