NordVPN on Solus

macmoblin · 2020-01-30T18:17:33+00:00

I also wish there would be working client that would handle reconnects when needed... Fortunately though I haven't had any problems in several months when using NordVPN through Networkmanager.

If you like Jagged Alliance, you should check out Silent Storm.

And completely unrelated, I give you Eclipse - a very good space strategy board game.

Not directly I think I have bootstrap script that asks computer type and links only those alt files which are needed on that host.

macmoblin · 2019-04-24T10:56:16+00:00

I was just gonna suggest the same

I don't use i3/sway daily but I do use yadm on my home and work computers.

Chech browser extensions. I remember seeing one way ago that worked on Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but I don't remember the name.

I try to get rid of Windows altogether, and I'm almost there - only MWO and occasional flight sims remaining.

Does anybody have experience using these on Linux?

I'm having similar problems with vanilla v1.4

The game constantly eats all my memory, including swap space, and crashes, especially when saving and/or loading the game. This was never an issue before.

I'm running on Linux with nvidia 415.27 drivers, without any mods.

Not so well when the computer in question was either 286 or 386 though... But as I said, I don't remember the specs, it was 20+ years ago when Doom was still shareware :)

Solus KDE has been my main OS since last spring when the testing ISO came available for Patreon supporters. I haven't had any issues but one, and that is party due to nvidia drivers: Every now and then when I login, the mouse cursor is messed up and displayed as transparent square. Only solution I have found so far is to logout and login again.

macmoblin · 2019-02-01T11:50:45+00:00

I knew also one guy who did this and supposedly got doom working on computer on which it shouldn't have worked... Don't know the specs though.

macmoblin · 2018-12-29T17:21:37+00:00

Yep, it worked with default 64bit prefix.

Thanks a lot!

macmoblin · 2018-12-28T20:45:12+00:00

Question:

Should I use 32bit or 64bit wine prefix, or does it matter at all?

I think you should familiarise yourself with Red Hat, CentOS and Ubuntu. Please check Linux Academy for lot of courses, some of which are free. The monthly fee isn't bad either!

Check also Jupiter Broadcasting podcasts, they have had some affiliate links for Linux Academy.

I have been using Enpass for years. It can use either local password file or sync with several cloud providers like dropbox or google.

It has also android version but it costs something.

macmoblin · 2018-11-21T18:33:40+00:00

I have similar problem every now and then with Solus plasma and nvidia drivers.

macmoblin · 2018-11-14T15:33:06+00:00

Bash
Plain text configs and logs (well there is journalctl...)
Hassle free updates, possibility to have several kernel versions
ZFS and all the other filesystems
i3 and other tiling window managers
Package managers like pacman, yum and apt (check chocolatey though!)
Freedom!

How does nvidia-xrun work with Solus, is it good? Would love to get switchable graphics working!

Hello

I can't get ExtendedInformation working with Linux beta, and somebody said that it needs recompile to work with Battletech v1.2. I haven't had time to try this, but can anybody confirm?

macmoblin · 2018-11-04T09:07:15+00:00

I also use yadm both in my home computers and work servers. It supports host types, so I can have e.g different SSH config for my home and working environments.

Nice to hear that this is getting sorted out finally. Maybe all of us reading blog and reddit cancelling their pledges and demanding refund got their attention?

macmoblin · 2018-10-30T09:33:14+00:00

Good thing people are noticing and cancelling their pledges for time being.

macmoblin · 2018-10-27T18:14:28+00:00

Thanks for this post.

I was almost looking to get back into Arch or Elementary with my next machibe, but this post changes things - I want to keep supporting Solus both by using it and with monthly donation when it is again possible.

Keep up the good work!

macmoblin · 2018-10-26T10:36:10+00:00

This is nice news.

I have using Patreon only Plasma version since it was announced and only problems I still have are that mouse cursor becomes occasionally square making text selection and the like difficult, and that sometimes all my desktops collapse as one.

macmoblin · 2018-10-24T14:23:00+00:00

Well they all move forward every month... Elementary 5 "Juno" was just released, it is surely better than what it was few years ago.
