Best place to buy replacement parts for a laptop?

I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress....

I’m willing to pay more for a genuine battery, but not that much more

I’ve already checked it out… and they don’t ship to my country

Thing is… Usually I’m that nerd, and while I don’t mind sharing what county i live in (check my other replies), I was hoping to learn of some international ways to do it that aren’t AliExpress…

Damn, how many hours didit take you to reach LR1?

Damn, I’ve been playing semi-consistently since 2021 and just cannot bring myself to rank MR above 16 lol

I’ve actually been trying vscodium for a few days now, and it’s mostly been pretty good, though idk if I’ll bother switching to it just yet…

Ik about vscodium, it doesn’t have all extensions

You’re a monster of you actually like regex more than just opening a full text editor. I’d open visual studio and use it to give the text I need before I touch sed

What do you think about this? (www.youtube.com)

Since i see so much linux talk on lemmy i got curious and watched a video about the common distros. How true is the information in this video? The person hardly describes why debian and arch are just better than every other distro. At least i’m definitely now curious about Mint or something for gaming.

Tldr with weather you her smoother animations, 1:1 touchpad gestures and an overall faster and more responsive desktop

I’d use sister partitions for everything but swap, just use zram for swap, it’s faster and doesn’t need it’s own separate partition

I don’t generally believe in a “higher power”, despite having religious parents, I never really understood it… I just don’t get how people can genuinely believe that there is a higher power that is somehow watching over everyone. That’s not to say tat religion is a bad thing. It’s not, in fact most non-radicalized religions have genuinely good teachings, be it Christianity, Buddhism or Islam (and others, again I’m not too into this stuff, these are just the religions I can speak semi-confidently about), they all fundamentally teach the same basic things, don’t be an asshole, live modestly, help others, etc… (yes I do know it’s MUCH more complicated than that).

That’s the way I ultimately see the “higher power”, as a way to get people to be good members of society by making them believe that there is a higher power that will bless them if they are.

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

All the programs I use just run on linux, no really. VSCode runs on linux, I’ve used libre office for longer than I’ve used Linux (and it obviously runs on linux), all my faves run on linux through steam or lutris.

However, if there is a windows only program you wanna run on linux, you have a few options.

I’d just cross running it though wine out, it’s really annoying to setup and my original success rate with it had been… Not great.

If your program isn’t terribly graphically demanding, you might be able to run it via a windows virtual machine. It’s not perfect but for lighter programs or visual studio, it works.

If your program is graphically demanding (e.g. Adobe suite, CorelDraw, Autocad, etc…) you’re kinda out of luck and will have to dual boot… (Or loose your sanity trying to get them working through wine)

That just will not work, because some languages have different rules about gendered words, to those of English.

E.g.

English:

One man

One woman

One non-binary person (they)

Bulgarian:

Един мъж

Една жена

Един не определен човек (те)

Notice how in the “non-binary/they” form in Bulgarian you still have to use the male version of “One”, it’s just how the language works…

Many languages will have to be entirely re-written to account for the new pronoun. I think until that happens, “they” gets the job done.

Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

Recently I stumbled over an article, about how to customize your shell prompt. What really surprised me, is that it lacked one of the most basic tips I learned nearly 20 years back: Always display a timestamp in the prompt, to be able to check how long a process is running or when it ended. (Don’t need it daily, but every so...

Step 1. Install fish shell

Step 2. Type fish_config

Step 3. Profit

I use proton mail, switched to it from outlook around a year ago and haven’t had any issues… Unlike with outlook, piece of trash

I used to use gnome with just a system tray extension until very recently, though I’ve now switched to plasma… And copied my gnome workflow there

Warframe is designed as a Co-op experience, it’s the correct way to play the game, only parts of the main story is single player, cinematic experience and all, 90% of the game is supposed to be played co-op or in a team of randoms… RvR isn’t technically a thing the way you describe it, but there are huge hordes of enemies, so you can think of it as PvR… kinda.

Presi300,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

Idk if Warframe counts as an MMO, but it’s the closest thing to an MMO that I play.

The lore is really cool, though it’s mostly for the people who care about it as it is really easy to skip/miss.

The community is mostly super friendly and a big part of the game (yk, trading in-game items for in-game currency, clans, etc…).

The PvE of Warframe imo is top notch, fluent movement, satisfying weapons, time or characters, abilities, strategies and weapons to choose from and reach one can be upgraded individually.

The PvP however… It exists and that’s all I can say about it, it’s kinda just bad and no one plays it.

Idk what RvR means lol.

Oh, and the game is completely free with no forced pay walls and it’ll run on pretty much anything.

Though it’s not perfect, it’s a grind (yk it’s a looter shooter) and there is an annoying mechanic of items taking a while to craft

zram… Obvious

systemdboot (unless I’m on a distro without systemd)… My main desktop is running Gentoo OpenRC atm

xanmod kernel… It’s literally just free performance

wayland… I have 3 monitors with 3 different refresh rates and 3 different resolutions, X11 just isn’t an option for me (smooth animations are a bonus to ig)

Unlock origin, ecosia and dark reader as extensions, regardless of browser

VSCode… I like FOSS software as much as the next guy, but I want my code editor to just work with minimal to no configuration

Fish shell, has the best autocomplete and integration of any shell

Xanmod is a gaming-optimized kernel… Idk where you read the server stuff from and the performance and the difference isn’t so much in performance… I mean there is still an uplift there but it’s more improved frame consistency (less microstutters) the games just feel more snappy.

Idk what you mean by “low tech computer” but I’ll assume that means “weakest”, I run xanmod on my main desktop PC, which is the only computer I game on, so it only makes sense there. It does tend to kill battery life on laptops and idk anything about getting it to work with nvidia (I’m on AMD). As for the “weakest” computer I’ve ran it on… tbh I don’t remember, I don’t really use a lot of low-end PCs in my daily life.

As for compiling xanmod, no reason to, 90% of the distros either have it in their main repos, or in the AUR on arch or on a copr repo on fedora. I did compile and configure it myself (I use gentoo) but the performance difference between the packaged version of xanmod and the one you compile yourself is minimal, most of the uplift comes from the kernel itself.
