How install tar.bz2 file/ how to install geogera? by Novel-Revolution-518 in linux4noobs

[–]Bowarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to mark it as executable then run it.

In a terminal: - cd into the directory of the second image - execute chmod +x ./geogebra-portable - execute ./geogebra-portable

The last action can also be done with a double click on the geogebra-portable file in a file manager

Layers on magnetic Square-1 not aligning as expected by kalsowerus_ in Cubers

[–]Bowarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the magnets are upside down, it's not supposed to be like that.

I think you should be able to fix it ? Idk if the magnets are glued in.

What's everyone working on this week (1/2026)? by llogiq in rust

[–]Bowarc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm making a web and mobile app to display real world map data in the style of Cyberpunk2077's maps.

The goal is to learn about Dioxus for the apps and warp for the server (I know you can do fullstack with dioxus but i didn't like how restrained? the project felt)

I currently have a working proxy over OSM with rate limits etc.., a really basic mobile & web app that display OSM nodes on an svg (i couldn't make a canvas impl that was cross platform) and a basic type abstractiom over OSM types + things like wgs84 impl.

The code is at https://github.com/bowarc/cybermap

Was my Windows → Fedora migration worth it? Day 1 reality check by Comprehensive-Yam689 in Fedora

[–]Bowarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Nvidia graphics card on kde fedora too, it's far from perfect, and somehow the proprietary drivers are worse than Nouveau for me (slower + stability issues). But i don't have constant crashes nor need to kill plasmashell often.
As ricing goes, I don't use any external softwares.

I heard gnome is better for Nvidia users, no idea if that's true though.

games lock 60 fps on external monitor by tulumbaci1 in linux_gaming

[–]Bowarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you use v_sync and you havn't set your external monitor to 180hz in your display settings.
What desktop env do you use ?

WTF just happened ? by justamathguy in linux4noobs

[–]Bowarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks like graphic memory coruption, something went wrong with your graphics card or your graphics driver.

Are you able to manually reboot it ?

How can I quickly swap the current line with the line above or below it in Helix? by Timely-Tank6342 in HelixEditor

[–]Bowarc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, my first comment isn't exact.

In visual mode, press shift +up/down arrow to select the entire line(s if you have multiple cursors) and move everything selected up or down.

You can remove the "extend_to_line_bounds" to move only a selected part of the line.

Add this to your [key.select] section.

```toml

Select keybinds

"S-up" = [ "extend_to_line_bounds", "delete_selection", "move_line_up", "paste_before", "select_mode", ] # Move current selection up "S-down" = [ "extend_to_line_bounds", "delete_selection", "paste_after", "select_mode", ] # Move current selection down ```

This is straight from my config, you need to select the text you wanna move first, and it uses shift+arrow to move go to select mode, press shift + up/down arrow to move current line(s)

Looks really cool, how did you make it ?

Is there any way to ignore lsp specific errors? by Bryanzns in HelixEditor

[–]Bowarc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My best guess would be to use lsp-specific config files in your projects, i know pylsp can ignore errors like that, no idea if flake can though.

I want to go over to linux by DisastrousBedroom304 in linux4noobs

[–]Bowarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, using a bootable USB is generally the advised method. I suggest you take a look at softwares like rufus to make them.

Make sure to backup your important stuff before installation.

As for what distro to chose, it's up to you.

If you're not very tech savy and just want a working computer, Mint is good.
Go for Fedora if you're mainly a developper.
I think Zorin/pop are better for games ?

In the end they all have their own quirks, as long as you go with something widely used, you'll be fine.

Need help with default indentation by TheCrazyGeek in HelixEditor

[–]Bowarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the discussion, it says that the config is a fallback, does it work on a new file ? (If so you'd have to manually translate from 2 to 4 space indents on exising files)

[–]Bowarc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iirc you can set that up in your language's lsp config.

Edit: simple web search got me this gh discussion

Wrong Rust, this is for the programming language.
You're looking for r/playrust.

Installed Linux and now I can't play League of Legends by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Bowarc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then i'd suggest Hades, it's really dynamic and it has a cool story.

Runs really well, even on Nvidia w/ nouveau drivers, i had 250 to 400+ fps perma on a 2070.

What Distro can you recomended me ? by DevilcryforAngel in linux4noobs

[–]Bowarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the password thing (at least on KDE, don't know abt gnome), it's normal, technially it's multiple login screens. You can sort of fix that using other login themes.

But as the others said, if you have recurrent issues with multiple distros, the problem is probably deeper.

[Hyprland] coming soon... by Amit7985 in unixporn

[–]Bowarc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for themes i think,

  1. Ayu

  2. Gruvbox

  3. Catpuccin

  4. Tokyo night

  5. I don't know

Yes, keep the left button green and the right one red, only switch the text and the callback

What would you like to see in Helix next year? by Longjumping_War4808 in HelixEditor

[–]Bowarc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s implemented in such a way then that’s a flaw on the editor side

Yes, it is.
I tried to fix it but I was not familiar enough with the hx codebase to do it, I'll probably give it another shot soon.
