Depends which programs. Also, it’s very possible that there are open source alternatives
But if you are dead set on using exactly the same program, https://appdb.winehq.org/ is a database of if and how to make them run on Linux. Wine’s core focus is games, but many programs are covered there too
Take the link to tiktok video, put off just before tiktok and enter
$ which diffuc
diffuc: aliased to diff -uw --color=always
$ which grepnir
grepnir: aliased to grep -niIr
$ cat `which ts`
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$#" -lt 1 ]; then
tmux list-sessions
exit
fi
if ! tmux attach -t "$1"
then
tmux new-session -s "$1"
fi
yeah, you need some help
🤡
On serious note, have you by any chance somehow saved the previous start and end values? Like in history of the shell, terminal or even a piece of paper?
I’ve found out in the past, that if you recreate the partition table as it was, the data will be read fine
Otherwise, you might need to use RescueCd to try and get the partition borers back. But if you haven’t rebooted since that fateful keypress, first focus on trying to get to what partition borders were printed in the terminal earlier. IMO it will be the fastest and easiest
Even if you will get those in cylinders and will have to calculate those back to MBs
Wha?
🤷 then maybe OP’s browser has a problem with the challenge for some reason?
When I open slrpnk, a page flashes before. I think it’s something like cloudflare but something else. I have no idea how to find out what it is, it redirects very fast. Maybe your IP got marked by that service?
EDIT: found it. Maybe try reaching out to slrpnk admins?
stderr=failed to create tun device: Operation not permitted
you probably don’t have permissions to create such device. BTW, afaik a bridge will make the vm get the traffic on the same IP, creating a separate IP for VM will probably be something else. And might require some iptables setup so your host machine relays the traffic
It seems to be working with Pronton
Install Steam client, log in and download it there. Even if you connect Lutris to you Steam account, AFAIK, the way Lutris launches those is just launching Steam
When catching up with hardware performance for Linux gaming, I always browse phoronix, try to find a few comparisons from different years to see how the card looked like in comparison to other options. There might be some sleepers now no-one remembers about, that you magically have an option to buy. Think which game in the comparisons might have similar requirements to what you want to play and see how the card/cpu did on the settings you find agreeable/non-agreeable/perfect
Don’t go into its forum, though. There be dragons
Maybe recently it started to change with NVIDIA opening their drivers but for years we’ve been second class citizens for them. Personally I say “fuck NVIDIA”
If you decide to go AMD, definitely explore the landscape of fan controllers. I use corectl but maybe you would prefer something else (this is Arch wiki, but should be fine for other distros too)
Such chip and
use my PC for image, poster and video editing
Most of distros use the same projects code-wise, some just add some patches or lag months behind. I mean, it doesn’t really matter, just do it. You’ll either be happy with anything or outgrow whatever you pick up now. And either sooner or later land using one that you will decide is absolutely the best, or just have vague preferences in the end
But it’s the journey that does it, not a particular distro
I also switched to scripts. Aliases tend to break in loops with modified IFS
No, on work laptop
“Tell me it’s Friday without saying it’s Friday” ;)
But to the point, yeah, my current job tried to convince me to switch to Windows. I tried, it was miserable experience, it broke in 3 days and all that was even before the current Windows ludicrousness
I used to have (or maybe I still have somewhere?) something similar but relying not on a VM running on host but booting from USB. I’m not sure which assumption is more realistic, that you will be able to access boot menu or that there will be particular brand of virtualization available on the system you’ll be running on
EDIT: I think there also was a distribution with something like this in mind. Like the image of OS was compressed, after GRUB it was decompressed to RAM from which it was really running and there was some way to “updated” the image on USB
I can’t download an app from google story, degapp it and run it. Google managed to be an ever-present intrusion in official apps and I don’t want Steam to get to the same point
I’m a small fry too, would you run a binary I send you without any form of sandboxing?
If you provide a “legal endpoint”, we construct a document proving that you’ve sent me the binary and convince me that it does something I’d like to do, then yes. With such documentation trail that is how running a game works. Of course, in case of games I do rely on the fact that I’m not the only one you’ve sent me the binary, so it probably was inspected by those more non-trusting than me. But I think that is besides the point
The point is, if then, in the middle someone comes in and says “now I’m going to repackage everything Ferk sents you, for now you can inspect the files but I’m introducing distribution tools that will allow me, in the future, to lock you out of that completely”, then I’m not too happy
we typically run them with the same user that stores all our useful private data and that we typically type our passwords with
Pirvate data at rest should be encrypted and if we are afraid of keyloggers in the games, we don’t have to type passwords to important things when we play. Not to mention 2FAs and other measures preventing leaking whole password
Also, why are you OK with that level of sandboxing?
Because now I can freely go into the WINEPREFIX and inspect the files, replace dlls, etc. I can run a program alongside the game with access to its shared memory (remember, it all started from headtracking, which works with shared memory). Once they go “full docker” and add image signing, we can’t change anything
why are you not running all as root if you want “control”?
I think now we are going on a tangent, but running everything as root is the opposite of having control
Not really, by default you have access to other drives (Z:\ being /, the fs root), wine is not a perfect sandbox, it’s not designed for that… and if you actually did want it to become one (which ultimately would also lead to a need for memory separation to fight memory-leak attacks) then it would not be that different from what’s being pursued. You’d be essentially building the container in a custom version of wine shipped by Valve on Steam, it does not make any difference in terms of “control”.
It’s not the binary from developers that I don’t trust. It’s Valve who I don’t trust because they are big (realistically speaking, I don’t have the money to sue them) and are going to be the supplier. I’m not afraid that someone’s game written for Windows, will be ready to infect a Linux system through Wine. I’m afraid that Valve is going to go full EEE on Wine. For now they play nice. But introduction of containerization is introduction of something that will enable them to limit us more and more. Have proton not done that, I would still be only a frog saying “that looks like a pot”. Now, I’m a frog saying “that looks like a pot and I don’t like that temperature has risen 1°”
Most games on Steam are proprietary software you don’t control to begin with
But those are small fries, not “the provider of games”
rather than granting them the capacity to run amok in the entire system
WDYM?
If one is running proton. AppDB is for Wine
