I’ve been using Source Code Pro for a while now. Might not be the best, but it does the job for me.

The question is, what applications would run in ReactOS that wouldn’t run through Proton/Wine? Some applications require relatively obscure userspace quirks and tricks, in which case it doesn’t matter if they’re running through Linux+Wine or ReactOS+Wine if Wine doesn’t implement them.

Other than that, the rootkit anticheat that makes so many games not run on Linux are written by companies that have a near hostility towards Linux and open computing in general. If some version of their anticheat happened to work in ReactOS, they’d patch that out super fast. Same with DRM stuff.

Linux and Windows are, I think, too different conceptually to copy things from one to another. And I’m not sure what Linux-compatible innovation that ReactOS would have that hasn’t already been thought of. Performance of the Windows kernel is, at best, average.

Even disregarding the native Linux port… The Steam client is actually pretty decent. Any client would have to implement things like library navigation, storage management, Steam input support, the overlay, cloud sync and so on. And honestly, I don’t think anyone can reach the amount of features that Steam has.

Its probably why most people don’t actually use things like Lutris or Gnome Games to launch Steam games.

Does it increase fingerprinting? I imagine there might be some non-user-agent way to determine the OS. Like with image handling or whatever.

It’s probably more unique and suspicious for a linux browser to pretend to be Windows than a Linux system disclosing itself as Linux.

Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?

Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is “How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don’t interfere with anything installed on the host system”.

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I’ve found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

If you’re a furry Linux user, you’re only allowed to use desktop backgrounds of Xenia. :P

Assuming you’re serious and I’m not being whoosed, remember that Linux is a tool, not a cause. Many use Linux because they like Linux, not because they want to purge all non-free things from their life.

Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I’ve tried.

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

In his defense, it isn’t really a fishing game without bait.

Finally, representation for gay people who are into irony.

dd is completely safe.

Only if you have the correct args and device names. Make a backup if you want to do it from the command line and aren’t feeling 100% confident.

When I’ve needed to transfer data over to a new disk, I’ve used gparted from a live usb to copy/paste partitions directly. Once that’s done, you’ll probably need to update /etc/fstab to point to the new drives and run update-grub (assuming you are using grub) to update the bootloader config.

Why do they need information about the hostname? Is it really valuable for them to know how many systems are named daves-pc?

I tried Cosmic and quite liked it. Just waiting for them to add a gnome 2 style window list widget with the window names.
