Same thing I did with it this year. Send emails, write documents, watch movies, watch YouTube, play KSP and Astroneer, program some c++, design hobby PCBs, look at porn...

protokaiser,

I’m planning on building a new rig for Xmas and am gonna go Linux for my desktop OS for the first time.

make sure to go team red with the GPU, they tend to have less issues on Linux than NVIDIA cards

mack7400,

Add a Javascript dependency into the kernel. You’re welcome.

I don’t use Linux, but I love penguins, and I want to chill with this Lil guy

Keep using Linux, for the 30th year. Started in '94 with Slackware 1.2, RedHat 1/1.1 in '95 and switched to Debian at the end of '95 (0.93 R5 or R6). I was running OS/2 for my BBS in that time, with a link to my Linux system with internet since august '95. I had a terminal with null-modem cable next to my bed for IRC, 10 Mbit connection at my room. (campus of UTwente in the Netherlands)

Was fun messing about with that stuff.

Telodzrum,

Made the switch to full-time daily driver Linux this year instead of dual booting. Next year is the year of Arch.

Murdoc,

I’m wanting to do that, and steam has made it possible, but I have just a couple of games holding me back still. Not the games’ fault, it’s just that I’d have to buy them again on steam and I’m po’.

Telodzrum,

I managed to get the last few of mine like that (all Ubisoft, fuck them) running through Lutris. I know some people swear by bottles, too.

Immersive_Matthew,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I cannot move to Linux despite desperately wanting too. I am a VR developer and right now you do not have any open source game engine options that support VR and due to the SDKs I work with, I am tied to Windows right now. Given that spatial computing is the next platform, I really hope Linux options develop but it is not looking likely.

PoolloverNathan,

AFAIK Godot supports VR and runs on Linux, but it doesn’t have good 3D performance currently

Immersive_Matthew,

That is true, but it not only has poor performance, none of the industry SDKs are compatible. Hopefully this gets fixed one day.

possiblylinux127,

Could you get away with Linux in VM? Also you could run it on a separate device like a laptop

Immersive_Matthew,

How will this help me with VR development? Can you explain the envisioned setup?

only0218,

Get to Linux and use full vms on windows Hopefully And an AMD card

This new year is my year of Wayland. I’ve got Hyprland going on my new work laptop. Still using my old one with i3 for the time being since I’m too busy during the day to thinker around, but I’m slowly getting this new one ready. Hopefully will be done by the new year.

victorz,

What do you like about Hyprland compared to i3? I’ve been using i3 reliably for over a decade, but did try Hyprland and thought it just felt like a new Compiz in its default state. What drives you to it?

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s pretty much exactly what drove me to it, plus the excuse to get started on Wayland. Like it or not I think Wayland is the future.

I’ve been on i3 for near a decade for what it’s worth.

victorz,

Interesting. So the wobbly animations and stuff is up your alley, basically?

Yessir.

Water1053,

I’m going to put together a SteamOS system for my daughter with an old 3900X and RX480 so we can play side by side!

victorz,

old 3900X

Oh God, I need to upgrade soon again, don’t I…

Water1053,

Has it been more than one month since it’s been out?

victorz,

I know right? I have to remind myself that I built this computer in 2020…

pineapplelover,

I need live wallpapers of tux

Will probably cave into the WM craze

victorz,

What’s this craze? I’ve not heard about it.

sherlockholmez,

Window Managers.

Tiling Window Managers like i3wm are all the craze right now.

victorz, (edited )

Oh window managers. I thought you meant VM, like virtual machine. W vs V, my bad.

Yes, they are the shit. Been using tiling for over a decade. Very nice stuff.

cyanarchy,

Got a old piece of hardware that I want to breathe new life into as an NAS. Going to learn me some more about file systems and networks.

Whisper06,

I’ll hopefully get my uConsole next year and I plan to do a WM arch setup
