You guys use wallpapers?

Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

Why “we” should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a “free” ““operating system”” (Not absolutely free, but at least way more “free” than Windows) – learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

It could be (pretty much) any distro you want – considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a “one stop shop” experience.

Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the “real thing”? When you have “obscure”/unsupported sbcs and you need to “make your own” version of it.

a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.

.dotfiles on github

Big/critical files on an external HD

simple as

There is always firejail which is very “even your mom can use it” in terms of usage.

e.g install it, type cd / && sudo firecfg, then your password and thats it.

Not by the slightest.

You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix

-EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh… it’ll give you a nice idea regardless.

I actually created a new image with it – docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix

Nice! Hope you have fun with it.

Oh yeah? Then redo the classic doom code in pure bash.

Nice job. Also, I went ahead and made a docker image out of it.

I’ll try it on my Orange pi zero 3 just for giggles.

-EDIT- I just did (straight from their site), and welp… 5 minutes to load a map, lots of stuttering yet performance was okay’ish ( ~25 frames per second). Not bad for a little board with only 1 GiB of ram and the power draw capped at 2W.

-EDIT2- Nvm that, I grabbed the binary, ran it locally and the experience was much, much better. Absolutely playable.

Imagine being a long time Nintendo fan to end up being sued because playing their games (and sharing your experience with others) is now considered the same as stealing.

Time to change this community name to u/reallyoldgames.
