velox_vulnus, in What are the differences between linux distributions?

Research. ClearLinux is optimized, NixOS and Guix uses functional package managers.

Apart from that, there can be differences in FHS, standard library, package managers, etc.

TechAdmin, (edited ) in Hardware video acceleration

Quick way to check if a program is using hardware video acceleration is with a gpu top utility.

Intel - intel_gpu_top

Nvidia - nvidia-smi / nvtop

AMD - radeontop / nvtop / amdgpu_top (just did quick search, don’t have any AMD powered on to verify)

hornedfiend, in Manjaro OS

No hate from me,but rather a simple question? Why use preconfigured distros instead of the original,always best, with archinstall script? You can even install pamac or whatever package installer tool manjaro uses.

Imagine yourself playing FPS game (CS: GO 2), and your cat just walk casually on your keyboard!!

ikidd, in An open-source, cross-platform terminal for seamless workflows

Interesting concept, I like the design, but the workflow is rather odd and would take some getting used to. Also, things like the UI need some work on scrolling, like the Sudo connect window scrolling the password out of sight if you fail the password entry.

CaptDust, (edited ) in Hardware video acceleration

Noting, this PSA is absolutely useful for older components - especially Intel, but anyone using something newer than Skylake (circa 2015) is probably already set up with intel-media-driver or the nv/amd video driver.

nvtop is a useful tool to monitor GPU activity and the decoder in use when a video plays, if you’re unsure

Railison, (edited ) in Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator

I do love the https://ss64.com/osx/textutil.html program in MacOS, very powerful and easy to use. Maybe this will run it.

I just finished my perfect st build after switching from kitty. So I’m not really interested in getting something even more bloated then what I used to use.

At least they aren’t going for the new user friendly marketing they were a few weeks back, as they have nothing that would of helped me as a new user a few years ago

Rentlar, in Darling runs macOS software directly without using a hardware emulator

Cool. Do you know if this project will support PowerPC-era Mac OS X apps or if that makes any difference? There are a bunch of quirky and fun games that could avoid being lost to time if an “emulator” can run them.

lemmy_user_838586,

Because power-pc is a different CPU architecture, those apps would require emulation or a VM I think. A VM is possible already I believe.

Rentlar,

Ok, good to know, I figure this instruction set can’t be converted 1 to 1.

KISSmyOS, in The Distro Wars are good actually.?

I agree that the wealth of distros offers a choice for everyone and shows how much users love Linux as a system and respect the idea of a diverse, global open source community as a whole.

(I use Apartheid Linux btw)

I’ve been looking for a terminal with better bookmark support; I use mRemoteNG on windows for my RDP/SSH work, and I haven’t been happy with any alternative on Linux that handles session bookmarks like that. I’m curious to try this.

@eager_eagle@lemmy.world avatar

the hell are terminal bookmarks?

surfrock66,
@surfrock66@lemmy.world avatar

I manage a lot of systems, so just click to open a ssh session in a new tab. I usually have shell aliases, but a bookmark that could set the title of the tab to the hostname and account for easier nav would be my goal. Being able to dynamically open tab groups too would be good, like if I have a dev/prod/SQL server for an app I could 1-click to open a group of 3 tabs

node815,

Well, there’s this if you want to use it in Linux, I’ve used it before, liked it well enough, but not paying for it so I removed it (It’s sort of crippled if run free). I personally use Konsole on KDE which works quite well. I’ve read and think that Konsole also allows multiple bookmarked connections. I haven’t really tested it myself, I have roughly 10 machines I log into daily so I may try that further.

termius.com

Before I made the leap to Linux years ago, I loved using MRemoteNG. Simply hands down the best. IMHO

I tesed the client posted here by the OP. While it looks pretty nice, it suffers the same thing as others I’ve tried. Nothing beats the simplicity of the plain 'ol shell in Linux or in OSX. :)

QuazarOmega,

Windows Terminal has profiles that you can configure a lot so you can have SSH profiles too, don’t know if that fits your use case exactly though

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, in The Distro Wars are good actually.?

HannaMontanaLinux

Fucking what

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

hannahmontana.sourceforge.netObjectively the best distro

WeAreAllOne,

I loled on the Miley Cyrus link! Hahaha fucking hilarious. Good on you dude!

KISSmyOS, (edited )

That’s not even close to the weirdest distro out there.

The only way to avoid having disagreements about which choice of distro is best would be to avoid having any choices.

Yerbouti, in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

I have the 8gb model and I cant recommend. Battery life is ridiculously low, it struggle with windows, but got a little better on fedora. Keyboard broke after a year, it was about 90euros to replace Overall it’s really overpriced, you can find better.

Neikon, in Manjaro OS
@Neikon@lemmy.world avatar

It works for me, I have KDE version. I have AUR apps, SNAP (VSC works better in snap than flatpak), official repo apps. I have not had any errors in the 6 months I have been using it.
