I have a Razer Naga Left-Handed Edition and I’ve just used input-remapper with success. might depend on if you’re on Wayland or X11. dunno, just worked for me.

yeah as a dev myself I saw this coming a few months back and stopped using Bun so this doesn’t surprise me. They got on the cursor hype train awhile back and that was enough for me.

It’s possible, I’ve done it, but then I questioned myself as to why I did it.

If you’re someone who loves to tinker and just try to get something to work for the sake of getting it to work and as a hobby project like me, then yeah, have at it.

If you’re doing it to actually make it a viable and daily use pc…meh.

depending on the chromebook sometimes it’s just not worth the struggle. you have the limited storage space, you potentially have quirks if the chromebook is one of those that can also be flipped around and used as a tablet. I had one and getting the screen rotation to work was a nightmare. The one I got linux on all it could really do is use a terminal and surf the web/potentially stream stuff but that’s about it.

If you’re looking to do it Veronica Explains has a great video on peertube about how to do it which helped me alot.

amusing thing is that when it came out someone ripped all the wallpapers from the app and put them online for free. most of it was AI slop anyways.

what helped me when I first started using Linux was the Arch Wiki. Even though I wasn’t using Arch the information in that wiki is invaluable. Even now that i’m on NixOS I still use the Arch Wiki as a tool when I need answers. everything is there. even man pages.

Another resource is IRC and Discord. I’m not sure if Bazzite as an IRC channel but the quickest answers to issues I was having has been via whatever distro channel on Libera. Discord also for specific distros. But I’ve found many of the maintainers and devs will hang out in their respective distros IRC channel all day so what better resource for help than directly from the source.

Finally either peertube or youtube channels. There are some fantastic channels that help learning this stuff. Primary of which is Veronica Explains. By far the most easy to understand and follow videos for linux. She reminds me of watching old episodes of The Screen Savers and Call for Help. Another that is great that is more specific to workflows and command line stuff is Bread on Penguins. Very easy to follow, she provides git repos and links to EVERYTHING she talks about and even writes most of it herself. For customizing your build There’s The Black Don. he’s great too. builds out a lot of stuff himself and provides repos for everything he’s working on. He’s built an awesome tool for Arch that allows reproducability similar to NixOS.

in the late 90s/early 00s I went through a few of these drives. OP, they break, they just die. once you start getting the “clicks of death” it’s only a matter of time before the entire drive craps out on you. it generally doesn’t happen all at once. few clicks here and there. but eventually it’ll become more frequent until every zip disk you pop in just starts clicking. Just how it goes. and the thing is they’re pretty much impossible to fix. when it’s dead, it’s dead.

All I can suggest is enjoy it while you can because it WILL die and the fact the thing has lasted this long is impressive.

Eventually after the 4th drive died my Dad was done with them, had enough. Spent the money to get a CD-RW drive.

So they’re great for nostalgia. they’re neat in that regard. but don’t put anything you would consider even moderately important on those zip disks.

in previous interviews he’s pretty much said in the past that outside the Kernel he has no clue what’s going on as far as the entire Linux ecosystem. I watched an interview from awhile back where he didn’t even know what NixOS was. Time and time again he’s said all he really does now is read emails and compile the kernel to check for bugs. I believe he only uses Fedora, doesn’t like Debian and thus isn’t a fan of Ubuntu either. in an interview from a few years ago he said the only reason he prefers Ubuntu over Debian is it makes Debian “usable”. He pretty much always states he prefers a distro that allows him to easily work on the Kernel (that’s all he cares about) and so he uses Fedora.

yeah for iOS ply:sub is the way to go. my friends and family who use my Navidrome server and have iphones all use ply:sub. Android friends use Symfonium.

I use Niri and I love it. makes my workflow so much better and I don’t even worry about workspaces anymore.

it’s painfully easy to set up now. I run navidrome in a docker on my server. I also use Nicotine+ to make downloading and sharing music easier instead of going through a terminal. But my Dad for example will just rip CDs he has and drag and drop the mp3s into the music folder and it’s good to go, navidrome will automatically get the album cover and all the meta data and instantly add it. I use SuperSonic as my client on my PC and laptop and Synfonium on my phone. Everyone has their own accounts for navidrome so they can login where ever and be good to go.

yes it has improved a lot within the past year. I went from hating it a year ago to using it as my second DE for gaming. I hate to use this phrase but “It just works”. And honestly once they roll out their workspace thing for multimonitor setups in Feb I might switch from Niri to it and make it my daily driver.

Think I went through 5 or 6 360s due to RRoD. Remember trying EVERYTHING to get those things to work when it happened. Like wrapping it in a towel and turning it on.

It’s really good, I’ve been using it for well over a year now. has everything. The dev also had one for youtube but I don’t think he’s developing it anymore due to the constant changes.

After trying out the alternatives to spotify I simply didn’t like any of them. Either other services didn’t have artists I liked or their players were horrible.

Instead I simply set up navidrome on my server, used a soulseek script to convert my youtube and spotify playlists to download all my music to my server, and then opened up said server to myself and my friends/family. So now they can all stream for free AND if they want they can easily add music to the server. Which is fantastic because now I’m discovering new bands and artists without any effort. Just shuffle all my tracks and “oh that’s new” because my buddy added it and it’s really good. Plus the various apps for both PC and mobile are way better than what I was using before.

He has his own private chef to make him food, he has maids to take care of his house(s), he has assistants to do all his errands, if he has kids he has nannies to take care of them. So in his backwards ass head he can easily “work” more than 70+ hours a week and doesn’t understand why us lowly peons can’t do the same.

I should have put “their people” in quotes as you’re 100% spot on. apologies.

positive acknowledgment, brief summary of previous statement/post, positive conclusion/ending statement.

That’s generally what I look for when trying to weed out AI. at one point it was as easy as see a bunch of EM dashes but now they all seem to follow a pattern that they perceive as natural.

Of course it was. Just like all previous attempts to get the American people angry enough to revolt. They’ll keep doing it until they have enough justification to issue complete nation wide martial law. The end goal here is to get the country to the point where the administration and republican party decides that holding elections are “unsafe” until “all this blows over” thus granting the cheeto a third term. It’s about solidify power for the next several decades.

Someone read the Watchmen and took it as a playbook.

for the same reason the Jews had a hard time fleeing Germany.

All that being said I’m very happy for you that you were able to get out. Good luck I’m hoping the best for you.

Watch the TV movie from the late 90s “Pirates of Silicon Valley” which pretty much paints both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs as really shitty people. I mean just look at what Gates did with the Altair. Said he had an operating system, didn’t have an operating system, and what have you.

Then there’s the whole Xerox Park thing where neither Apple nor Microsoft would be where they’re at today without the engineers at Xerox who were pretty much forced to hand over their stuff because Xerox execs didn’t see value in a GUI and Mouse. Gates and Jobs both were more than happy to go in there and pillage what was developed in order to create Windows and The Macintosh/MacOS
