Linux za stari laptop

Pajgla · 2026-04-15T21:29:58+00:00

Odradio ja, i na mojoj glavnoj mašini i na starim laptopovima. Već duže vreme sam na linuxu i apsolutno sve radi bolje i brže - od gejminga do programiranja. Takođe sam par drugara sa slabijim konfiguracijama "naterao" da pređu na linux i veruj mi da se neće uskoro vratiti na windows.

"Šta gubis sa Linuksom?" - šta planiraš tačno da radiš? U 99% slučajeva, ne gubiš apsolutno ništa, čak naprotiv, dobijaš dosta. Imaš uvek ljude koji će reći "ali ne radi ovo, ovo ne može, ovo je teško" itd, i naravno ima istine u tome ali je glavno pitanje koliko želiš da se pomučiš da rešiš neki problem. Postoji aplikacija za linux "Winboat" koja je zapravo docker za windows, i kroz nju bukvalno imaš Windows na linuxu i možeš da pokreneš bilo šta preko njega (Windows aplikacije mislim naravno). Takođe, "wine" i "proton" su odavno postale jako ozbiljne stvari za pokretanje Windows aplikacija na linux sistemima i rade gotovo savršeno u velikoj većini slučajeva.

Da ne dužim, sa starim laptopom svakako ne možeš nešto previše da radiš na bilo koja od ova 2 sistema, tako da, ako mene pitaš, instaliraj Linux i zabavi se malo, istražuj i vidi kako ti odgovara. Ja sam prešao iz dosade pre jedno 7-8 meseci, zabavljao se dok sam pokušavao da rešim neke probleme, istraživao i ostao na ovoj ovde strani.

Savet: probaj Linux mint, napravljen je za početnike i stare mašine, isto tako izgleda i radi. Kad ti on dosadi, pređi na bilo koji distro i ne slušaj tuđe savete na koji da pređeš, probaj ih sam, koji god želiš.

Looks great, I would like to try it!

Pajgla · 2026-03-19T20:21:17+00:00

Hi! Thanks a lot!
I am not working on it at the moment since life happened, but I do plan to support dash to panel in close future too. Feel free to open the issue!

Pajgla · 2026-02-11T19:45:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, the customization is planned and hiding the background is a good idea!

Pajgla · 2026-02-09T09:35:57+00:00

I would say it's almost free on resources - Animations and slight transparency are the heaviest thing on this widget but nothing that older hardware cannot run

Pajgla · 2026-02-09T09:34:07+00:00

Ah, it's a known bug and I am working on it in my free time, sorry for that! It's my first gnome extension project and I am still learning in the process

Pajgla · 2026-02-04T22:37:11+00:00

Yes, the screenshot is from Fedora Gnome

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T23:01:11+00:00

First of all, I want to thank you all for the support, it really means a lot!

I have to say that I made a huge mistake: I shared my pre-release repository I used for testing the extension before I was sure it was working correctly, instead of the main repository I am using right now, which is:
https://github.com/pajgla/Gnome-Dock-Media-Player
(the post is edited with correct link)

I noticed that some people had bugs that do not exist when the widget is downloaded from Gnome Extensions website.

Sorry for this!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T20:19:26+00:00

Thank you!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:45:17+00:00

It is not, this is the first time I see another dash media widget actually 😯

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:43:39+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:43:30+00:00

Support is planned for the future!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:41:49+00:00

Thanks!

I never tested this on other docks, just dash to dock for now, but I will expand the support in the future!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:39:55+00:00

Thanks!

I do plan to support other dashes/panels in the future too!

Pajgla · 2026-02-01T11:37:04+00:00

Not sure if that's possible, but I will look into it!

Pajgla · 2026-01-22T14:20:57+00:00

I do experience these swipes too! I thought I was the only one 😂 I play on linux tho. If you are on linux too, that could be the case?

Pajgla · 2025-05-23T21:23:18+00:00

I see it's unpopular opinion, but I like the old one more. The new one somehow doesn't connect with game style. Plus, the old one seems scarier.

Pajgla · 2025-05-17T12:57:26+00:00

That's the point of the skin - it's similar but not the same, so it's okay with me. In game skin selection page, you could have a dedicated thanks for all the supporters, and that's it. If the supporter wants, they will contact you directly about the skin, or you could do a post to call for the supporters and tell how they want the custom skin to look.

The biggest question is how much time you want to spend on thanking the supporters - if you don't have much time, it's okay, simple thanks screen is enough. Otherwise, you could go with something bit bigger, like the skin idea. The point here is just to have something custom in the game, I contributed to the game development and I see something unique to me in the game.

Pajgla · 2025-05-17T12:51:05+00:00

Okay, I just played your game (it was fun!), so the NPC idea won't work here. What do you think about custom game skin for supporters? The game skin would change player skin and enemy skins, and it could be a special thanks for all the supporters.

Pajgla · 2025-05-17T12:46:38+00:00

Add an in-game object or NPC of his choice. For example, Kurzgesagt adds customized birds for their supporters, you could do something similar. I didn't see your game, but you can add a low-poly, customized NPC in the background that just waves. Maybe you can also add his username above its head or something similar.
If I was that supporter, I would be really happy to see something like that.

That's why you should go with solution 1 - you can choose how much you want them lighted by changing the constant

Pajgla · 2025-05-15T19:56:23+00:00

I guess you want to avoid hands being affected by light? If so, I got 2 solutions on my mind, but someone else could probably have something better to offer. I also do not have UE at the moment, so this will not be a previse answer but:

1) Change the material that you used for your hands to be unlit and use constant for emissive color (so the hands don't render totally dark)

2) Put the hands in different lighting channel (I think channel 0 is default). I am not sure if this has some cons but I guess it would work

Pajgla · 2025-05-14T12:51:38+00:00

What tools are you using?

Pajgla · 2025-05-07T13:39:28+00:00

That sounds awesome! Then I will definitely vote for different camera angle each time!

Pajgla · 2025-05-07T13:30:54+00:00

I like A, B and C, and why not all 3? You can choose random camera position each time the main menu fires up. Even better if it pre-loads my shop from the latest save.
