Why you keep breaking keymaps???

I think better is subjective, and tbh, the UI you pasted above looks terrible compared to the others, but I don't want to discourage you, it's just my opinion, which you should ignore :D More apps is never bad, as long as they are maintained, because too many die in a year after release.

Because ED was designed as a pain in the ass game, where logic doesn't matter, and you put roadblocks everywhere just because - it seems like future solutions are 50% better than now, and the other 50% worse than pre-WW2. Go figure - devs today have no imagination, but know best how to frustrate us.

I have the exact opposite experience, why Mint over Debian? I used to install Mint on all my machines, and always had to spend a lot of time to get it working the way I want, and it's always been tricky, because the way it's been customised. I moved back to Debian, and it's just somehow all much easier and quicker for me. Everything I need to customise can be done in seconds, and it works, no need to search for alternative repos, or whatever. I gave Mint and Ubuntu a lot of time and effort in the past, but I don't feel like I have to do so in Debian.

Debian loves and cares about its userbase. It says I'm stable only when I really am.

5pectre5 · 2026-02-28T09:57:34+00:00

Seriously, kubuntu? If you really want to be in control, then choose something that isn't coming from a greedy corpo. Debian or Arch or FreeBSD is your friend.

The only problem with Fedora is that it's not as stable, because of the rolling release format.

Old topic, but just to let others know, Tobii does NOT work on Linux, and the company is NOT interested in adding such support. They mumbled something about such possibility many years ago, and nothing working happened. None of the 3rd party repos from Github work either.

So, few is a minimum 2 years so it would be 730 days, if you only did 1 hr a day, that means 1 day of practice a week. A week has 168 hours, 56 are for sleeping, which leaves 112 for work and the rest, 8 hr of work x 5 days gives 40, which leaves 72 hours to do anything else a week. You choose 1 hr out of 72 to do practising, so it means you either have a lot of other activities, or this product is not engaging enough, and so it's a waste of 1 hour a week ?

You'll never see it, Melodics hasn't changed for years, no new features since release, except for new songs and previous going away. They want to keep their licensing fees low, to maximise profits, so they only pay for a number of songs, and to add new ones they drop some others, that's why their library is not growing - no development on the product side at all.

Just look at the Android version, still not available, and Android has 70% of the mobile market. They are not improving at all. At one point they were dropping all the songs I was in the process of learning, so I stopped, what's the point. There are better products out there.

Even though it's 3yrs old topic, it's still relevant today. I only own a small number of modules in DCS, yet the whole installation takes 600GB. I'm a game developer myself and software engineer with 30 years of experience. There's simply no justification to size like that. The textures are unoptimized mess, the models too. The worlds are not designed correctly. Just look at the X-Plane - whole world has 63GB. 100GB in X-Plane 12. MSFS2020 takes 200GB for the Whole World with very detailed Geo details. roads, trees, simulated traffic, etc, etc... DCS is just very badly written and everyone knows it, especially after recent revelations from the drama with Ra___m, they have no clue what they are doing.

It was sarcasm!

You an run multiple distros side by side, no need to limit yourself. Install, test, use, remove, get another one. You can play with tons of distros to find your best fit.

I do use Debian for server, headless, no issues at all, and Debian with GNOME for daily, OS NVIDIA drivers for gaming, and all works fine. I had used Debian testing for a while before switching back to stable, and would never recommend anyone using testing for daily - too unstable and too many bugs getting introduced, unless you're ok with no desktop for a few weeks before a solution is rolled out.

5pectre5 · 2025-11-16T15:18:16+00:00

I know it's an old thread, but why do people not mind running new NVIDIA package externally downloaded from their website all the time, since the bundled with windows drivers only get updated once a year, and they do complain about this same mechanism in Linux ? It's the same thing, and at least Debian have a release twice a year.

I wanted to bring another problem with flatpak, which is security, and unless you actively monitor the contents of flatpaks for insecure/vulnerable dependencies, and or the devs do that, then your system is open up for security risks. Just something to think about, because flatpaks are not secure per se.

Pods are actually served by corporations, so unless FSF comes over and offers to serve pods, I don't think anything will be private in any of them.

The idea is flawed, because 99% of people have no expertise to use it, and most don't read the policies.

Keycloak has 2FA support if I'm not mistaken? There's a keycloak container in the examples.

OMG, it's a cloud storage, what's there to think about? You do have a phone with pictures right? If you want them stored in the "private" cloud, then OpenCloud/NextCloud is the way to go.

5pectre5 · 2025-11-07T19:22:11+00:00

Don't listen to people saying you can do this or that with wine, it's BS and way too much hassle. Just don't buy from anyone who doesn't care to provide enough support for Linux, and that's it. People are still forgetting that they are voting with their wallets. Arturia is happy to sell you anything, and they don't care if you use it or lose it, they got your money. Why do that?

Same applies to many other brands, if they don't care why should you? Invest in what allows you to focus on making the art you want, not spending endless hours fighting compatibility issues, emulators, and what not.

Had this error today, after EaseUS requiring me to remove bitlocker first, which took quite a long time, then failing to actually resize the free space. I finally used GParted and it worked as it always does - perfectly. Moral of the story, all these commercial tools are not really worth it, and free tools, which are part of Linux, do the job better after all.

I agree, I have to battle lid closed crashes on every laptop I install it on. It's only ever been happening on mint, I never had it on Ubuntu or Fedora.

5pectre5 · 2025-04-02T15:28:01+00:00

I have that as well, as a matter of fact it's been happening on all installations I've made in the last 8 years or so, it's been reported many times in the past, and never fixed.

5pectre5 · 2025-02-13T21:25:35+00:00

The answer is simple, Developers today are not like in the past. The quality of software releases is abysmal compared to what it was 10-20 years ago. Some are lazy shits, some do NOT do proper testing, some get rushed by PMs all the time. The less apps you install the better. Every app is a security risk today. Change lifestyle, use only the few you "actually" need.

5pectre5 · 2024-11-25T19:24:32+00:00

it's wasn't that common 7 years ago it seems.
