This is exactly why I love duckduckgo’s AI results built in to search. It appears when it is relevant (and yes you can nuke it from orbit so it never ever appears) and it always gives citations (2 websites) so I can go check if it is right or not. Sometimes it works wonders when regular search results are not relevant. Sometimes it fails hard. I can distinguish one from the other because I can always check the sources.

Me who stores important data on seagate external HDD with no backup reading the comments roasting seagate:

I have seen the other way around, a friend had Steam installed on their Linux PC but Proton was off and she didn’t know what it was.

Not for specific hardware but you can sign in to ProtonDB with your steam account and get an overview of your entire steam library. For online games there is areweanticheatyet.com, you will have to check games manually. AMD, Nvidia (9xx and newer) and Intel iGPUs (Skylake and newer) have roughly the same compatibility, performance differs usually favoring Windows on Nvidia.

I used it when I used arch linux on a PC with 4GB RAM and an HDD. Enlightenment loaded up in no time compared to even sway, looked pretty and had quite a few features like not terminating session if there are open apps and wallpapers per workspace! Its native apps like file manager and terminology were also extremely snappy. Using E apps felt like I had an NVME instead of HDD and I felt like I had a full desktop instead of a minimalistic WM without sacrificing speed. Switched away when I got a PC with good specs overall & a real NVME and iirc the desktop was crashing every now and then on the new PC. The default UI is very weird, you need to place most of the app icons by yourself and I think pressing Meta doesn’t invoke the app launcher? Also I cannot start E with wayland currently, I could on v0.21.

Steam Deck uses ext4 with casefolding so upper / lowercase in filenames don’t matter. Is casefolding getting in your way?

$ cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="Arch Linux"
PRETTY_NAME="Arch Linux"
(...)

Because this is how distributions declare their names

Entire Kodi interface can be navigated using only arrow keys, enter, esc. If you use Steam Input, you can rebind keys. And good news, Kodi is on Flathub so you can install it with ease: https://flathub.org/apps/tv.kodi.Kodi

Kodi exists however it’s a client only, it is not made to host content. You are looking for jellyfin

BCM4360 doesn’t work reliably for me even to this day

Now imagine Linux withmitigations=off

I had to set up an app on Wine + macOS, the app spawns bg processes that have a window (on Wine, not on Windows) for some reason and each time that happens the main window app loses focus. Couldn’t solve it. On Linux + Plasma Wayland the problem is inverse ie. even the main window doesn’t have an icon on taskbar, if you minimize it you can restore with only Alt + Tab.

people who install Windows on their Steam Deck?

I see this way too often, nearly half of the 2nd hand Decks sold here have Windows🤷‍♂️

https://manjarno.pages.dev/ Manjaro’s Pamac took AUR down twice, also their website had its SSL certs expire 4 times

Why does it have more RAM than storage?

Ubo prevents ad resources from being loaded, not loading / rendering ads at all makes a major difference in battery and bandwidth usage in my experience. Most notably bandwidth usage drops by %90 in most extreme cases.

I was confused by #1 before I got a grasp of Lemmy then I realized lemmy.world is the largest instance and I can just sign up here.

I still remember the DDoS attacks

I tried that, printing worked like %20 of the time.

Trying to avoid using my PC at all costs was a bad idea, I changed my mind because I had to print stuff😅
