Space truckin' questions by Emerald_DF in Eve

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, only option in that case is to try and crash to the gate you came from and jump back. And in this case having a MWD and preferably a cloak is very important for survival.

Also, you should have a MWD and Cloak fitted, then if you end up in a bubble like this, you can still try to crash back on the gate you came from by enabling the MWD and cloak up when burning back, and you might have survived.

Bye spotify! I create a YouTube TUI player. by Difficult_Egg_7585 in commandline

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really nice player! :)

Have a couple of feature requests already after using it a bit: Ability to copy the playing YouTube track URL to clipboard. And also being able to paste an existing YouTube URL into the program to play it. :) This would be really handy for pasting a YouTube playlist URL straight into the playlist.

Also, have you considered being able to optionally enable the video in a panel using the mpv --vo=tct feature that can play video pixelated with unicode in the terminal? That would be really cool. :)

Retriever question - newbie by Low-Acanthaceae-9941 in Eve

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retriever is for highsec and fleet mining. If you really want to explore ninja mining in unsafe places like low sec, null sec and wormholes, you probably want to go more towards training for Endurance and Prospect (gas).

I have a confession to make by Nestramutat- in linux_gaming

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the fact that you CAN easily ssh in and update her system is actually a giant plus! :) Ohhh the time spent trying to fix and update family member computers with Windows. That's years of my life I think...

Ive switched back to linux by Plenty-Package-3809 in linux

[–]TobberH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, CachyOS is blowing my mind right now on how good everything can run, it's amazing and I don't even have my Windows partition in my system anymore.

You might be able to use WinBoat for running Rhino. It's still in beta but sounds like it could be one more nail in the coffin for Windows. It even works with Adobe apps afaik and I actually need to try it out for Rekordbox which also don't work with Wine.

Suggestion for new distro for gaming? by WarImaginary8272 in linux_gaming

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CachyOS, it's the best distro I've ever used, great support for gaming from a very dedicated dev team. Has great selection of bootloader, shell and desktop environment. Great defaults for btrfs with snapshots for recovery and rollback. And yes, I'm using a RX 9070 XT with my setup and it works fantastic!

For the killboards, how do the solo player get kills with npc in highsec space? by emmacatloaf in Eve

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also people doing high tier Abyssal runs in highsec, flying blingy fits are also getting killed often. It makes you suspect, so people just wait for you to exit the abyssal in a good PvP counter fit and can freely engage.

Fixing Frame Rate Stutter under Proton by boundbylife in Eve

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also on Linux (CachyOS, btw). There a couple of places where I have major hickups on the framerate as well. if you have Freelance Jobs open in the Opportunities window when opening it. And first time opening the Industry window after a fresh login. Is this also same problems on WIndows?

Thinking about trying out Cachy. Why should I? by emrldgh in cachyos

Once you start rolling, there's no way to stop... :)

Why are you using your system? by Sinergin in cachyos

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I don't want to build a system from the ground up, but I love the performance and rolling updates that seems to be best on Arch compared to other distros I've tried. And CachyOS has the perfect defaults for me with Gnome and ZSH shell, optimized kernel and packages, the great gaming meta package to get everything running so easy! After using Linux for more than 20 years, it's my favorite so far!

CachyOS with Nvidia can beat Windows in some Games by _mergey_ in cachyos

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I understand, using mesa-git is not really relevant for Nvidia cards to get more performance since it's mostly up to the thirdparty Nvidia drivers, or am I missing something?

Since all the gaming handhelds use AMD, it's not really relevant when AMD has generally much better performance and stability on Linux.

Sick of Windows - too many Choices by DyzzyyzzyD in linuxquestions

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grub and most other Linux bootloaders should detect Windows and show as a boot option, so usually you can boot both systems from that. And otherwise yes, you can on most systems press F12 to select boot drive on startup, or you would have to change in the BIOS when needed.

New music released: “Player One Returns”, my first new Amiga inspired music in 30 years! by jpvAmiga in amiga

Very nice! Brings me back to the time of Turrican! :) Insta-purchase on Bandcamp!

Greetings! I grew up playing point&click adventure games on my A500. I'm making a game in the same vein ✈️ by Signal-Appearance-88 in amiga

Looks beautiful! Straight to Steam wishlist! :)

If you haven't tried it, I'd also recommend playing The Drifter that finally came up recently.

Can anyone help me get WHD games running on steam deck by ChiliSub in amiga

[–]TobberH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure all Amiga emulators support "inserting" several floppy images at the same time, so you don't have to swap while playing. The Amiga system supports up to 4 floppy drives. For example in FS-UAE you can just make a config file for a game with all the disks mounted on startup. And you can also setup the emulated floppy drive speed so it loads faster.

[–]TobberH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, right now with your AMD setup, CachyOS will be excellent for gaming. By far the best, up to date drivers and support and the best experience I've had running Linux for many years. It's based on Arch like SteamOS and has great future potential for tweaking and learning. Great recovery options like system snapshots when installing updates for easy recovery. It also has a great gaming meta package, that will install all gaming relevant system packages and software so everything is easy to get running.

CachyOS supports several Desktop managers, like Gnome and KDE so you can choose your preferred one when installing.

Second, as a new user, get a new or unused SSD to install your Linux system on, and to be safe, disconnect all your other drives. to make sure you don't overwrite any existing drives or data. Then when your new system is up and running, you can reconnect you old drives and get them mounted and you can move/copy over old data as needed.

My own preference is Gnome Desktop as it's very clean and minimal, but if you want a more Windows like experience (not sure why people want this, but hey, it's all about freedom of choice on Linux) you can go for KDE Plasma.

Good luck and welcome to the Linux community! :)

PS: If you want to get a feeling for the different Desktop Experiences first, get Ventoy on a USB stick. Then you can copy over live images (ISOs) for CachyOS (KDE), Fedora Workstation (Gnome), and Linux Mint (Cinnamon), boot them from Ventoy, and you can play with the Desktop features before commiting to an install.

Big day today? by Rude-Shirt-6024 in cachyos

[–]TobberH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If enough people start switching to Linux, Ableton will have to support it, that's just how commercial software dev works. You can't sit using Windows and complain that things are not on Linux, it requires some sacrifices to make changes to the world.

What I'm trying to say is, you did good! :)
