Sometimes it can be nice to run the gui as root

Back up home and install the new distro from scratch.

i would totally buy one for my desktop

d3Xt3r,

TIL about PostWatchBot, that seems handy. Thanks!

Doesn’t work with podman (on my machine at least), any suggestions?

Did you tried running it as another user? I’ve set binary ownership via chmod to the non-root user in the container.

QuazarOmega, (edited )

I’ll try that, I also read around that I could increase my UID namespace range (not that I understand what it means 🫣), so I’ll try that too

Edit: Now I half understand after reading these:

Tried with another user and it works, looks really cool btw!

Any way to quit gracefully though?
I tried both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z but it just ignores the signals, I could only resort to killing it

Mars2k21, in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?
@Mars2k21@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately, this is a problem that can't really be resolved. As long as there is a downvote button, it will always be viewed as a dislike button by some people (and I don't know if removing it is a good alternative for such a large social network). It's a problem that would eventually arrive here from Reddit as the community on the Fediverse grew.

There's really nothing we can do about it.

MNByChoice,

True.

A case can be made for a large number of buttons. I wonder if the extra complications of multiple buttons would have a good payoff.

You're on kbin though, which doesn't federate downvotes.

StrangeAstronomer, in Bluetooth dongle recommendation

Maybe check here: linux-hardware.org

astrozoli,

This seems like a good resource for main components, I’ll definitely use it when I upgrade. Seems like for dongles I should need to know the chipset which is not listed on store pages.

rufus, (edited ) in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Heavily depends on the community. I see lots of communities with few down-votes happening. But it’s definitely a thing in -for example- the political/news ones.

I bookmarked this article a while ago.

sloppy_diffuser,

Reddit post also states its been kept up to date with the last update in October of this year. Good find.

ParkedInReverse, in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Not isolated to this community either. I’ve been noticing it in a few others as well. Kinda bothersome as it snuffs out posts worth climbing to more visibility. Not sure if voting is still visible on some end, but maybe someone will look into it and figure something out eventually.

Good on you for taking one for all, lol.

The_Zen_Cow_Says_Mu, (edited ) in Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Currently running debian with an amd GPU. Using the regular 6.1 kernel

With steam flatpak and bottles (for nonsteam windows games) everything is running just fine.

laskobar, in Dual Boot Best Practices?

Keep a minimum of 30GB free, for Windows update processes on the windows system partition. I don’t how much the windows installation counts in space, but add that to the 30gb free space. I would recommend to have a extra partition for the games on NTFS and move your steam, epic, ubisoft, whatever library to that partition.

I have tried to use the same gaming partition between Linux and Windows, but failed every time. In the worst case this can alter your Windows privileges. At least I had this issue.

Currently I’m using Windows only for 2 games: Space Engineers and Empyrion. The rest works with better performance on Linux. Satisfactory, Ark survival, Elder Scrolls Online have more FPS on Linux with the same settings. I have to use a nvidia 1050 Ti in my laptop. With a AMD GPU the situation is a lot better on Linux.

I’m not a hardcore gamer, mostly im coding here and there. But sometimes gaming is a must have.

OADINC,

Space Engineers is such a good game

speck,

I was going to put games on an external hard drive, at least for Windows side. Maybe I should also partition the external HD and have an ext4 formatted partition for when I decide to game on the Linux side?

laskobar,

Yes. Because some games work only with proper privileges. This can get complicated on NTFS.

speck,

Thank you!

mactan, in Dual Boot Best Practices?

windows can and will destroy your bootloader at least once, show it no mercy

embed_me,
@embed_me@programming.dev avatar

Not if you destroy its bootloader first😈

Grass, (edited ) in Why I need extra kernel modules to be able to run Wayland on nvidia?

That’s the Nvidia drivers. Dkms just builds to match your kernel when the kernel updates. Intel and AMD contribute driver code so you don’t have to do anything extra but Nvidia doesn’t do that because they are shits.

As far as not needing it for x11 you are either using nouveau, the reverse engineered drivers which last I tried are effectively useless for any modern workload, or a non dkms version of Nvidia driver provided by distro maintainers or someone else and just didn’t notice.

Pantherina,

Nouveau got way better I heard

Grass,

Probably nvk which I think just completed vulkan feature set for the newest cards recently, but is not reaching the windows fps yet. I still haven’t gotten over Nvidia betraying me by dropping the GTX 460 from drivers at a time when it was still more than enough for me so I don’t follow it very carefully.

isVeryLoud, in systemd 255 Released With A "Blue Screen of Death" For Linux Systems

Good idea, stupid name.

Excellent for causing FUD.

No, this will not increase the amount of kernel panics you see. It just makes them more informational to the average person. Technical folks can disable it, non-technical folks won’t know how to enable it, so on by default it is.

There are some gaming focused OS’s such as Nobara (Fedora) and also that are “couch gaming” OSs that incorporate controller-only UIs such as ChimeraOS (Arch) and Bazzite (Fedora).
