Not mine, used Moe’s litterbox not knowing how long it might last as a temp image of OP image as BG for GNOME. Turns out that temp hosting option is probably rate limited…no big deal. It wasn’t a forever internet pic anyways.
replaced a $20,000 cd rack with 15 cd drives + windows os for network sharing, with a desktop PC running redhat(bureaucracy wanted a support contract). Ripped all their cds w/ dd bash script I wrote for automating add/delete cds for the non-cli types.
If it’s RGB stuff OpenRGB is a revelation. For mouses try Piper which is great too. Both unify the configuration of a lot of different brands in professional grade FOSS applications. There’s also the commandline app Headset-Control for which some small GUI frontends exists.
Know nothing about graphic tablets, trackballs or steering wheels but I heard from good experiences. When it comes to VR though…
I’m talking more about force feedback peripherals, head tracking stuff, and especially plugins that work with telemetry from all the different game APIs.
Most FFB steering wheels will function at a basic level, and you can get something like a StreamDeck working with 3rd party software for basic button pressing but getting the whole ecosystem going is currently not possible but may some day work!
At least FFB for my basic saitek gamepad works out of the box in proton games and even in some emulators like dolphin. Haven’t had steering wheels or pedals but always wanted. They are surely a different beast to reverse engineer. I have no doubt racing gear manufacturers will increasingly take care of linux compatibility with the momentum in linux gaming. And then there are all these OSS wizards already working on the most exotic HW. SteamDeck I don’t know. I don’t see that many linux steamers sadly.
I’m a bit of a reverse engineer myself (insert william dafoe meme) and had a successful pull request for controlling rgb lighting on my headset. Nothing compared to steering wheels or the like but I never did reverse engineering before and knew just a little C and it worked and was fun. Thing was I needed Windows to monitor the USB data when switching stuff in the OEM software.
I find ASCII incredibly readable honestly. I use pixel fonts too, but I love the sharp blocky characters it’s so much easier on the eyes than whatever windows or iOS has going on by default
Not really relevant, but as a kid I though the “II” part of ASCII was roman numerals. I was all the way to graduate school before my prof literally on the floor laughing because I had said “asskey two” set me straight.
When I used Mint about 6 years ago, I sometimes got into trouble with Mint’s weird update system. They were also telling users to reinstall instead of updating when there’s a new LTS, which is kinda ridiculous IMO.
They recently made a tool that handle the update to a new LTS. I upgraded from mint 20 to 21 and it went very well aside from the the printer stopping. Tried everything and it still doesn’t work. It’s not even a modern DRM galore bullshit printer, It’s an ancient canon lbp6000 laser printer so I honestly don’t know why it stopped.
If anyone got any idea how to fix it, I’d highly appreciate it.
Make sure CUPS is running, go to localhost:631 to see the administration interface for CUPS. You’ll probably wanna checkout the ArchWiki page about CUPS too, it’s relevant to many distributions. If it’s a USB printer and not IPP you’ll need to make sure the right drivers are being used. IPP printers work outta the box.
Thanks a ton for your help. Yes, it’s a USB printer and I got it originally working in mint 20 by installing the driver using a github script because the official driver didn’t work for some reason. Hopefully, it will work again. Thanks again.
Linux didn’t have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.
And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. It’s included on every copy of Windows.
Linux won the Unix wars. And it’s all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.
Just use a windows VM lol. Only problem I’ve encountered outside of that was a lockdown browser for school but I just put that on a burner laptop because there is no way I’m letting some rando have root access to my main pc
MacOS is way more often worse than Windows than how Linux does it.
Linux sometimes have important settings hidden in config files that are different in every distro. Sometimes an API is legit worse in Linux, than in Windows.
MacOS has a lot of things that cannot be set at all, constantly deprecated APIs, not to mention it's locked into overpriced hardware. CoreAudio was only better than the Windows native offerings until XAudio came, and Pipewire for Linux seems promising from at least a developer standpoint.
That’s different, in that its grammatical in a dialect but not in Standard American English.
In particular, it’s using the ‘habitual be’. It’s saying something like “people don’t think it always is like it currently is, but it’s always like this.”
Am I missing something? Ctrl-f on en.m.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_Futurama_episodes doesnt turn up an episode with that name, and googling “they don’t think it be like it is but it do Futurama” turns up nothing interesting.
They also charge developers for the privilege of compiling their programs for Apple platforms* (and using one of the worst IDEs known to man).
^(*Yes, you can technically compile apps with a free account, but AFAIK they will be restricted to only run on the developer’s machines unless you shell out $99 a year.)
wat? You have the whole gcc suite on macOS. What kind of black magic are you trying to compile? I’ve cross-compiled a bunch of libraries for mac on intel and arm chips without much issues…?
