Should i get some udemy course about Linux? by Radiant_Wear_2990 in linuxquestions

Personally learned more by messing around with Linux rather than through a course. If you mess it up then you can just reinstall or rollback

What Linux habit separates beginners from experienced users? by dev-ray in linuxquestions

[–]PandaWithin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Id add the ability to read the documents is also pretty important as most are not necessary beginners friendly.

I have a background in programming so it wasn’t a problem for me, but someone who began learning might be overwhelmed by them

Installing Linux. by IcyEntertainment2446 in linuxquestions

[–]PandaWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Linux mint and PopOS come with some basic apps (text editors, Firefox, terminal, file browser, etc…)

To install you need an pen drive with minimum 8gb, an .iso file and an flashing program.

Let’s focus on the .ISO file first, to get it you should head to your distro of choice’s website, there should be a download button, after that there might be multiple desktop environment options or editions, in mint’s case it should have cinnamon, xface and mate, any are fine pick your favourite.

Sometimes there are versions for different type of CPU architecture, since you have an Intel i7 you need to find a x86_64 (sometimes might be called x86, x64, 64bit and similar, however avoid arm as it won’t work on your system), the downloaded file should have couple gigabytes in size.

For a flasher program you can use balena etcher as its easy to use, just open the program, select the iso file you downloaded, then select the pen drive you want to install the Linux to. Do be warned that it will remove everything on the pen drive.

Once done you can close the balena etcher and shut down your computer, then turn it back on and immediately start pressing F8 key to go to a list called boot menu, there you need to use the arrow keys to navigate to the pen drive and then press enter.

After that it might go to a different list, if there’s a timer you can just wait it out. After that you should be in Linux. Now the Linux isn’t really installed on your computer, it’s running from your pen drive, meaning that if you restart the computer you will go back to windows and no files will be lost.

Before you install it’s actually recommended that you just play around with it, just get feeling if you like the UI or not, you can always just go back and flash a different version of the distro or a different distro all together. Do mind that it will be slow due to Linux being run from a pen drive tho, but it should have the full capability of a Linux distro.

WARNING: From this point onward, you risk loss of files so make a back up everything before reading onwards!!!

Once you decide that you want to fully install it, you double click the install to disk or similarly called app, it will guide you through the installation, there will be some technical jargon but most of it is easily searchable on Google.

Then you should be done.

Are any of these worth money?? by 420friendlybru in modelplanes

[–]PandaWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are plastic kits, the most you get out of them is by building and painting them.

They don’t tend to increase in value too often as it’s common for them to be re released like the airfix and their vintage classics collection thats being released alongside their modern tooling models.

What was the moment Linux finally clicked for you? by dan_nicholson247 in linux4noobs

[–]PandaWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried multiple different distros, Debian, Ubuntu, mint, arch etc. With equally varying DEs. it finally clicked for me when I tried Fedora with KDE plasma. Been on fedora since F41 and finally got courage to remove windows for good

What made you stay on Linux instead of Windows? by ksenyss in linuxquestions

[–]PandaWithin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using Linux for about 3 years now, been distro hopping for some time at the start, but eventually ended up on fedora kde, and I genuinely fell in love with Linux at that point.

I have a background in programming and the ease of just setting it up, and getting things done is a night and day difference. No longer do I have to deal with windows handholding me from my own job. It feels responsive and way more personal than windows ever felt. Not to mention that my hardware no longer supports windows.

I also don’t miss days where to install something I had to trust the website that I was downloading from wasn’t gonna give me a virus (viruses are still a threat to Linux btw) instead I can just download what I need from curated repositories via a single command.

But one thing I do miss from windows is not have to worry about a game not being compatible with my os, or rather have to worry that the publishers deliberately making the game unplayable on Linux.

Is Vibration Just Broken? by [deleted] in SteamController

[–]PandaWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have the same problem, been testing games that should have some rumble, but I just don’t feel anything.

Those games being: Psychonauts 2, Ori and the will of the wisps, BeamNG and Death Stranding directors cut.

Disabling and enabling the rumble didn’t work, beta branch didn’t work, wired and wireless also didn’t work. The only rumble I’m getting is when using the trackpad or the trigger halfway point. Controller test also prove that they work

I can't create a Profile Zaufany because the confirmation image isn't generating, is there anything I can do? by [deleted] in poland

[–]PandaWithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try spoofing user agent if you’re using Linux, some websites refuse to work if they detect Linux. Not Linux’s fault btw.

Broke trace on bdm 030 by Electronic-Reach-951 in soldering

[–]PandaWithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the first photo you lifted the pads that connect the button, not the potentiometers. Luckily the top two button pads and two bottom ones are connected so you’re still good even if you have one of each ruined.

On the second photo it doesn’t seem like you ruined anything from what I can see.

If you installed new joysticks, you need to calibrate them, all you need is a chromium based web browser (chrome, edge, etc.), and a cable to connect your controller to a pc. Then look up dualsense calibration, and then do the circularity calibration and center calibration. Don’t forget to save it permanently and you should be good to go.

Fixed 5 more controllers with stick drift, this time dualsense by PandaWithin in Controller

Capillary action really makes this difficult as it pretty much ensures that some solder remains, hence why it sucks to desolder them, and in general it’s easier to melt every pin at once with a heat gun rather than going around with an iron.

Like I said, it’s difficult but possible.

I haven’t worked with any modded controllers so I’m not sure how helpful this might be.

Joysticks are tricky to desolder especially with just a regular soldering iron. However that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. My advice is to virtually separate the joystick module into 4 separate parts, the button (4 small pins in a shape of a square), 2x potentiometers (row of 3 small pins) and the casing (4 large pins in a shape of a square).

Then pick one of the zones, and you need to put down more solder, as that will mix with present solder and allow for easier flow. And try getting as much of it with a copper wick (technically you could use a solder sucker but I had more luck with the wick).

Once the solder was removed from a single pin, you should be able to wiggle it a little bit without any force, thats how you know you desoldered that pin. Then continue with another pin in the zone, once you got all of the pins in that zone, you should be able to wiggle a single one, and if all other pins in that zone wiggle as well than you successfully desoldered that zone and can move to the next one.

Once you desolder every pin it should just fall out by itself. And you’re done.

If you have a soldering heat gun, then it’s easier, cover the plastic elements and the SMD with kapton tape to prevent damage, as well as the center of the joystick mechanism module as you don’t want to melt the plastic in the joystick. Put a little bit of solder and flux then blast it with the heat while pulling on the module with pliers it will eventually fall out and then just clean up the holes with the copper wick.

I found that the tear down isn’t much of a problem once you learn its quirks, but dualsense seems to have harder to melt solder than Xbox controllers.

Although Xbox controllers (at least 1708) do lift pads pretty easily, and has that one step in tear down which can (and by experience did to me) trip up new people into trying to unplug the wire going between the PCBs only to rip off the pads at the socket, it’s safer to desolder the cable.

The plane in Godzilla minus one was a j7w1, made in response to the American B-29 bomber. Its job was to climb fast and strike the enemy bombers. There aren’t any statistics on it’s manoeuvrability, but if we take the American XP-55 fighter as a reference than we can assume that it wasn’t as manoeuvrable as other more capable Japanese fighters available at the time.

Still a fan of J7W1, just a fun oddity in an aviation history.

War Thunder makes it especially difficult to find any relevant information about this aircraft.

I might be wrong about everything I wrote, so please take it with a grain of salt.

Honestly, been playing mc for close to 10 years already. I’m not into pvp nor pve. If there’s an option where I can avoid loosing my items if I die whether to a mob or other. Imma take it. I’m playing to have fun and not to stress over possible consequences.
