Linux@programming.dev•Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss
1·1 month agoVertex explosions. Also some weird shader compiling stuff that I was able to solve.
For DD it’s actually fine but there’s this hilarious bug where the very last Cutscene causes the game to crash. I’m not even mad enough to try and fix it tbh, it’s just funny.

5·1 month agoRE engine games like monster hunter and dragons dogma are a mess. I blame Capcom and NVIDIA, but because not everyone is having the same issues I do it’s safe to assume there is some Linux solution out there that isn’t documented. So I guess my pain point is lack of good documentation, a tale as old as time tbf.

Programming@programming.dev•Retro Messenger (Is there anything else a messenger could need?)
2·2 months agoI was just about to comment on the page name glitch effect being pretty cool. Did you use some off the shelf solution for that or make it yourself?

linux4noobs@programming.dev•Sleep AND lock when lid is closed?
1·2 months agoI assume cinnamon uses the kind of methods talked about here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit/
I don’t know anything about freedesktop and I refuse to learn, but give it a read and see if you can use it for anything.
The systemd-suspend.service also runs any scripts it finds in
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/, which might also be respected by whatever cinnamon is doing, or not. You can read more about it here https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/systemd-suspend.service.8.htmlFor that you’d basically put a shell script in that directory that checks if the $1 variable that is passed to it is either “pre” or “post” for suspending or waking up respectively and running whatever command you want. Again, this is hacky and might not work in all environments.

Linux@programming.dev•Amber the programming language compiled to Bash, 0.5.1 release
4·3 months agoTo add to the great response from @confusedpuppy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, amber would address one thing only: writing the syntax.
Most people don’t need it, and even if they had it would break the compliance in other ways besides syntax, but I’m sure there are people out there that know what they are doing who would appreciate amber.
Amber will still support bash stuff, or perhaps even other non-posix shells through the use of flags.

4·3 months agoI get why this is useful, and it’s useful for me as well, but the perfectionist in me asks why target bash instead of posix?

Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds Vents Over "Completely Crazy Rust Format Checking"
7·5 months agoI was thinking the same thing about a video I just watched covering Linus ranting to someone who asked a question on the mailing list about big endian support on risc5.
Basically some guy asked in a single sentence if there was a chance for support and Linus and everyone else wrote essays about how dumb it would be, and I’m wondering why bother reporting on such a niche and completely arbitrary tirade about experimental CPU architecture.
That said it did include Linus writing a long list of similar examples of hardware choices that he finds offensive that was entertaining, and that’s probably why people report every time he rants about stuff; he puts a lot of effort into his opinions and it give people a lot to chew on if they are interested in those topics.

Programming@programming.dev•Unpopular opinion: 95% percent of all modern programming langueges are either bloated/proprietary/unneccesarily complex. pretty sure C & assembly can do it all (even for web development,
1·7 months agoI think Casey Muratori argues it’s because even the things where it isn’t necessary may be built upon by another project, whether it’s a library or service, and the loses compound.

Opensource@programming.dev•Are there any other dark themes available for many services like the dracula one?
4·7 months agoI’m surprised that doesn’t have as much of a cult following as dracula. I always thought Dracula was like a meme color palette, it hits me like a brick in the eyes haha.

Linux@programming.dev•Three Years of Nix and NixOS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
2·8 months agoAll the negatives listed here seem to include a workaround, and the first is basically just restating that the language sucks. The language is the only real turn off for me.
Judging me


That’s what I was wondering as someone from another country. The answer is ofc because Americans are dumb af and constantly shooting themselves in the foot when fighting against “big” government. SSNs were supposed to be for just one thing, but because there weren’t unique identifiers for other things (healthcare id, tax id, welfare id, etc) every one just started using SSNs as a kind of defacto national id when it was never designed to be that. SSNs lack biometrics like photo verification for example.
To fix this they either have to actually create a more robust national id, or break it up into a bunch of area specific ids. Americans would likely complain about either option. My country does the latter, I imagine a lot of other countries do so as well.
