Unfortunate date to publish a proposal on…

It’s quite common with Phoronix. Larabel’s running a committed and consistent open source news aggregator, but his English isn’t the best.

The site seems to be a bit of a hack job, you have to join their Discord and ask one of the administrators to delete your review manually.

Not sure how they’re planning to compete with the price of the lower end Steam Decks with those specs…

Seconding vim as the universal Unix/Linux editor. It takes a while to become a real vim pro, but learning basic usage is very helpful. Escape to switch to normal mode (where letters trigger functions instead of just typing), i to switch to input mode, : in normal mode to enter commands, :wq to save and quit, :q! to exit without saving - that alone should be enough to cover a lot of basic use cases. If you ever want to learn more, there are plenty of tutorials online.

Nice to see ULWGL pick up steam so quickly, figuring out the right version of Proton to run outside Steam has always been kinda weird and fiddly. Name really sucks ass though.

Why does this quiz have so many fuckin distributions? If a newbie is looking for a distro to install, why would you ever recommend anything more niche than Ubuntu/Mint, or Endeavour if they’re interested in bleeding edge? I answered the questions as though I was new to Linux and got a massive list of every Ubuntu and Fedora derivative, with Manjaro sprinkled in for good measure.

Eh, to be honest, manpages aren’t particularly good as either documentation or quick references (hence the popularity of tldr), and info is intended primarily for the sort of long-form, comprehensive documentation that would be awkward to fit in a manpage. Also, texinfo documents can easily be exported to HTML, so one format can be used for both online and offline docs. It’s an admirable effort, if nothing else.

man is standard Unix manual pages, while info is a documentation format introduced/popularised by GNU. info pages usually have a lot more information (sometimes including tutorials, guided examples, links to different pages and sections, etc (depending on the project maintainer obviously)) but man pages are the standard and basically everything has one. If you run info [program] for something without a dedicated info page, it will show the man page instead.

“KDE Gear” is just the umbrella name for KDE programs: Dolphin is KDE Gear, Kdenlive is KDE Gear, etc. So, yes, it is being fixed directly in KDE code, and this is the announcement for the release of a bunch of these programs at the same time.

I believe Apex Legends and Call of Duty do, but I’m not sure. There are probably lists of them online somewhere.

Weak/no auto aim? Depends on the game you’re playing, but I imagine CSGO doesn’t have any. Maybe you could find a different shooter that accommodates joystick use?

Nope, because Hurd is created by the GNU project. Linux is entirely independent.

bash with ble.sh! I’m a former fish user, and ble.sh replicates all of fish’s quality of life improvements (that I used, at least) and then some, all with a single source command in my .bashrc. And it’s still bash at the end of the day, so online resources to tweak and modify it all still work.

true, but you’ll be able to tell people you use nix
