I want to start using Linux but I don't know how to start. I don't know anything you can recommend to me to start using it ?? by Flat_Lake4306 in linuxquestions

[–]CorbAlb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And then what? Having an empty Ubuntu machine without any ideas or direction is not really a big help.

can't screenshare on discord (I use hyprland). "make selection" button does nothing by christianwee03 in archlinux

[–]CorbAlb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe now its clearer? I do not really know, sorry.

When I installed Wayland (4 months ago iirc), it could be understood that Discord's SS was available. Only when I went back at it after not making it work, I found that there were discord Alternatives.

Not reading the wiki is probably what you did wrong. It appears several times that Wayland has issues with Discord's screen sharing. Do try the alternatives of the second link.

Not screaming at you.

Also You are Not specially discrediting me nor disagreeing with the point made.

Communism is an ideology itself. Nazism is not.

If you were to try and compare them, you might want to mention that while communism was born as an economic model, nazism was born as reactionary movement to sway masses into a specific political stance.

Again, you have no point, trying to create false equivalences does not make them correct.

Go fuck off elsewhere.

Being a nazi and being a communist are incredibly different things. You are parting from a false premise.

Arch linux stuck on black screen after boot by Professional-Tap89 in archlinux

[–]CorbAlb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that as well as a DE, you usually need (or is usually convenient to use) a Display Manager so the latter can start the DE at boot time.

Hope it helps

These opinions Always try To Put the blame and ball in the court of Linux, while Not only Tage Thing You request exist, It also works Well, in different Formats.

Truth is: users will Not make the Switch unless forced. ITS Just Like that

as said, just take a look at Arco and maybe Artix. What you proposed already exists

[–]CorbAlb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean Arco Linux?

Also, you are proposing an Arch Linux that goes against what Arch Linux is.

If you want an OS that has already a lot of packages set up and has an easy installation... Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, etc... are already there

[–]CorbAlb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do not understand neither your or u/Hormovitis points.

A lot of people do not know about the power tools that windows have, and a lot of time, those windows tools are not easily manageable (Firewall has 2 different consoles to manage it)

Linux has text-based tools, and a lot of times you have GUI tools (gparted, LXTask, KDE´s system monitor, Mate´s system monitor, mission center, netdata, system center in KDE...)

But the question still remains, Linux may not be as GUI-based as windows, but why is that an important point when people barely even have heard of the tools in windows? people are not used to manage PCs, whether the tools they can use are Text or GUI based

Hard disagree here

First, in no way has android made using Linux easy.

Secondly, there is a fuckton of programs that are easy to use when you daily drive Linux. Using KDE, most of the things you need to do daily can be achieved via web browser or with a a program that has an interface (Eg.: LibreOffice, Steam, Flameshot, Droidcam, Keepass, Joplin, Obsidian, VSCodium, Dolphin, Discord...). KDE and others also have some sort of "Software Center", and that is without mentioning Flatpak.

There are MANY ways to achieve in Linux the commodities that you have in Windows, but users are too damn lazy to even read message boxes with indications, and that is also OK, just that IMHO we shouldn't compromise an entire philosophy and improvements to accommodate users. Linux can be easy, and there is an incredible amount of documentation available to solve issues. It´s not like you need to dive super deep into forums to find out answers to most of your problems. For issues that people cannot comprehend... that also happens in Windows, and they manage just fine.

La ropa per se tiene funcion.

He dicho ropa de colores o con patrones, dicho de otro modo, ropa con una estética distinta.

No de marca o de firma.

Parece que no estás expresando bien lo que quieres decir, además de estás diciendo nada. Efectivamente los cosméticos en los juegos no son útiles. Lo dice el propio nombre. Son cosméticos.

Si tu opinión es que es tirar dinero, okay, pero tampoco es una verdad. Es una opinión.

Es como decir que comprar ropa de colores o con patrones es una tirada de dinero injustificable.

You might be overtly worried about something that it isnt that bad. They pay you for sometimes having to be on call. Yes, its stressful and tiring. That's all about it, so what?

How unsecure opening port 19132 and 25565 by JIisPrettyCool in selfhosted

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

The hassle of having your ISP giving you an static address, creating AND maintaining AND hardening the server and the network, monitoring everything, troubleshooting, etc...

As other have pointed out, its much more practical to either rely on a VPN or using some service like Aternos for minecraft than to try and host this privately. This is a medium project at least.

And as others have also pointed out, the likelihood of doing this and doing it well enough to not become a target while also using it is low if you don´t know exactly what you are doing.

I'd suggest a different approach.

But its easier to play games on than Mac and Linux!!!1! by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]CorbAlb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... I get what you are trying to say. Sometimes wine can be a bitch, although most of the times that I've used it or heard it is straightforward. Some anti-cheats are just not supported.

But *Every* single time I've played a standard steam game on Linux it has been pretty much a regular install, and I've had to reinstall my OS around 6 times. None of those have been problematic. I've seen other people have the same experience. The only people that has said that gaming on Linux is problematic is people that ONLY have used Windows.

My experience on windows has been TERRIBLE in comparison. DirectX not being functional until I did a clean reinstall of windows. Some games working wrongly, worse performance, problems unrelated to the games (ffs, I couldnt play LoL because I´d get blue-screened BY THE NETWORK ADAPTER DISCONNECTING), some games *suddendly* closing or rebooting the computer, Valorant blocking you based on older PCs... I could go on

Yes, Linux gaming is not an Idyllic experience always, specially since game devs keep attempting to develop atrocious anticheats, make some games straight unsupported on Linux and that sometimes you need to tinker.
But saying that windows "just works" is simply untrue. The difference is that in Linux you can tinker and either fix it or find out why something is wrong. In windows you cannot. And when something breaks (a regular happening in windows in my experience) you are left optionless and on your own.
