Sorry that I am too lazy to watch the video, but what does the doc do? Just charging or video out as well?
Considering that I already wrote “Followup to I Made A Junk System Into The Ultimate 3DS Console – complete with USB-C charging and capture card” into the description of the post, it obviously supports video out for that specific modded 3DS.
In case anyone only wants to watch the video version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tPCrbHunXs
Try https://fedoraproject.org/kde/download using its own Media Writer. Pretty sure it’s Rufus that’s causing this. If Fedora works, you can try to use Media Writer with Xubuntu’s ISO if it really has to be Xubuntu. Personally, I would recommend against it because getting rid of that Snap shit is more hassle than it’s worth. Might just as well use a distribution that respects its users.
Is this a reliable set of stats then?
This is PC operating systems which by ProtonDB definition excludes Steam Deck. See https://boilingsteam.com/cachy-os-keeps-spreading-and-takes-second-place-among-linux-distros/index.html for more information.
Is it pure arch or does it includes the various flavour of arch.
They are separate entries. EndeavorOS and CachyOS should tell you that much.
The steam deck is arch based if that enlightens you at all.
The Arch stats explicitly exclude SteamOS.
I wonder if this also reflects a general shift away from Ubuntu of if the phenomenon is mostly limited to the gamer demographic.
Today’s Linux gamers are tomorrow’s Linux admins.
That’s what kept me on Fedora. It just works.
I recently set up a PC for a pensioner who can’t or does not want to afford a Windows 11 PC. I used AlmaLinux (community RHEL). I’m not the biggest fan of some Gnome defaults, so I installed Dash To Panel from the official repositories and enabled traditional window buttons to make the experience closer to Windows. That’s it.
The Fedora developers laid excellent ground work.
Is this just based on protondb user reporting/comment data? because I doubt the sample size tells you anything other than these are the builds most used by users willing to contribute to protondb.
Ubuntu is falling behind in official Steam hardware & Software Survey as well. Of course the sample size is much larger, so the specific percentages don’t match but the trend is identical.
Ubuntu is the distro that people hate on the most, which is ironic given how easy it is to use.
Ubuntu isn’t easy. Not when the context is gaming as is this video’s.
Since Steam Deck all interesting developments (emulators, source ports of commercial games) happen on Flathub.
Canonical banned Flatpak from the default installation of all official Ubuntu variants (so Kubuntu, Lubuntu,…), therefore it is required to type shell commands to get stuff off Flathub, therefore it’s now among the least easy to use distributions.
It’s really no energy at all to just install Krita or Gimp to crop 5 images.
I did suggest many things, from how to crop in Krita, using ImageMagick, that Gimp is fully capable of cropping (OP refused to use Gimp for that task because it’s “shit” in his eyes), how to look up open source alternatives on GitHub (I found a bunch, including a python GUI application running locally), etc.
OP made a many BS claims, by insisting that he needs batch processing but when suggesting to self host, he refuses this by saying that he’s only cropping 5 images.
The completely insane claim was “The only infrastructure I’m using is the bit of Javascript and HTML”, meaning one could just save the page and run it fully locally.
This is of course BS.
You claimed that I was uploading and batch-processing images on the developers’ infrastructure.
“Um, achtually I crop images only locally and loading up Photopea in the first place doesn’t count towards freeloading other people’s work.🤓”
there are definitely problems.
Of course there are but the claim was that Lichtmetzger only needs to crop a bunch of images and Gimp is 100% capable of that and I say that as someone who can’t stand Gimp any longer and moved to Krita and others.
Keep trolling
At least I’m not playing the victim when actually freeloading other people’s work and resources.
which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp
*whoosh*
I fully grasp it, I was just pointing out how insane your claim is that you don’t use their server resources by making an equally insane counter point.
That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.
Yes, exactly this insane claim.
Today I’ve learned that cropping five images in a row is “commercial-grade”. Sure…
Today I’ve learned that you cannot use Krita to crop manually because you’re cropping waaay to many images and absolutely need batch processing but you also cannot self-host anything because “it’s only 5 images, man”.
Self-hosting is a good idea, though, if I can find some useful software in that field.
Huh…
Sir, this is not how the internet works.
Indeed it’s not. That’s why your claim that you can use Photopea without using their resources is BS.
Photopea does not use the developers’ server to do these tasks
Well, it uses the servers to do something and you refuse any compensation.
If I disassembled the obfuscated code and replaced those online references, I’m pretty sure the whole thing would just work.
Then do and host your own version.
Honestly, don’t migrate everything. Things can break when moving configuration files between distributions and you’d end up having more work than backing up the necessities (user files) and doing the rest from scratch. User IDs in the file metadata are the first thing to mismatch and things could spiral down from there (looking for files in one place but the new distribution places it somewhere else, for example).
Get an external hard disk, format it as ExFAT and copy documents, videos, downloads,… from your home directory onto it. ExFAT does not support Linux file permissions, so from your new distribution you can copy the files without any “permission denied” errors.
Sadly Ubuntu and its derivatives such as Neon are still often recommended to newcomers for historical reasons even though there are more stable and easier distributions around. Ubuntu fucking up Flatpak compatibility in its latest release is just another chapter in an endless saga. Fedora KDE should offer a good balance between long term availability, recent KDE software and stability. Personally, I’m more of an openSUSE guy myself but some quirks may be a bit much for newcomers.
