atzanteol, to linux in Could we add "Distrochooser" to the sidebar?

At first I was with this but the first set of questions is so stupid that I can’t see that being a good idea.

Somebody just code up a bot that picks a random mainstream distro everytime somebody asks “what distro should I use?”

atzanteol, to linux in Steam not launching games - no idea what to do [Solved]

You can install vulkan-tools (ubuntu package name - not sure if it’s the same for your distro) and running vkcube. It’s a simple vulkan app that will display a rotating cube using vulkan. It will also spit out the GPU that it’s running on.

If it reports your nvidia card and the cube looks good then your drivers may be fine and the issue is with Steam and/or this application specifically. If not then there’s an issue with your drivers.

Occasionally when I’ve had a kernel update or something the nvidia drivers have gotten borked. Removing, re-installing, and rebooting has helped. Something like this:


<span style="color:#323232;">apt purge nvidia-driver-*
</span><span style="color:#323232;">apt install nvidia-driver-535
</span><span style="color:#323232;">reboot
</span>

If it weren’t “written in rust” nobody would give a shit.

atzanteol, to linux in Which terminal emulator do you use?

I’ve really grown to like yakuake. I always have a sorta “main terminal” where I have a tmux session going and now I do that in yakuake so it’s available on all desktops and easily put “out of the way” when I don’t need it.

atzanteol, to selfhosted in I broke nextcloud and i cant fix it

Cool story. 🙄

atzanteol, to linux in Looking for input regarding finding an IDE (spoilers: involves Emacs and Vim)

As a long-time Vi user I would highly recommend giving it a shot for a solid month to see if it clicks for you. It’s genuinely an excellent way to edit text beyond “just typing words” - it’s a huge productivity boost once you’re competent with even some of the basic commands. There are just soo many combineable short-cuts at your fingertips that once you get a few of them under your belt you’ll go nuts without them. And the simple macros you can write can allow you to do mass manipulation of multiple lines in ways that are just so simple (e.g. “add quotes around every line and a comma at the end”).

Dive in beyond the basic “hjkl:q” though.

Which version of vi you use won’t largely matter. As a bonus most IDEs support a good subset of vi commands so your skills become transferable. I use PyCharm and other Jet Brains IDEs all the time and ideavim is “good enough” for what I do.

Emacs is dead near as I can tell.

atzanteol, to linux in Which distro/image to use for distrobox where you just want to install tools?

It’s been a while since I’ve used pure debian, but historically I’ve used Ubuntu because debian made it more difficult to install “non-free” software. Has this changed?

atzanteol, to linux in New to Linux, have a few questions

TIL there’s a where command in Windows! Thanks!

atzanteol, (edited ) to linux in What are some interesting devices powered by Linux?

They link doesn’t say the jwst uses Linux. Just that python is used by the jwst team.

atzanteol, to linux in Looking to make the switch

There are few comments more useless than “I had some random error on unknown hardware with distro X”.

atzanteol, to linux in I'm so frustrated rn.

Then stay away. If you don’t like to tinker with things it’s not for you.

atzanteol, to selfhosted in Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

Use ZFS when prompted - it opens up some features and is a bitch to change later. I don’t understand why it’s not the default.

atzanteol, to selfhosted in Planning on setting up Proxmox and moving most services there. Some questions

I haven’t done it - but I believe Proxmox allows for creating a “backplane” network which the servers can use to talk directly to each other. This would be used for ceph and server migrations so that the large amount of network traffic doesn’t interfere with other traffic being used by the VMs and the rest of your network.

You’d just need a second NIC and a switch to create the second network, then staticly assign IPs. This network wouldn’t route anywhere else.

atzanteol, to linux in KDE's Nate Graham On X11 Being A Bad Platform & The Wayland Future

It’s not intended as a drop in replacement.

… Which is why it “breaks everything”

atzanteol, to linux in Which distro in your opinion is the best for virtualization (Windows 10 on either KVM or VMware), stability, and speed?

Frequent updates? Are you on an lts version?
