I should really look into peertube. With YouTube always breaking compatability with Newpipe and other apps, I’m tired of having to deal with YT’s outages

GlenTheFrog@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Lindroid is an Android app that lets you run Linux in a container, with support for hardware-acceleration3·1 year agoI remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux
GlenTheFrog@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?1·1 year agoDo you have a link? All I see in a quick internet search is about a crypto company
If it’s the Steam version, why not play through proton?
Just ot make it clear to OP, Stable does NOT nesesarily mean bug free. Just like how most people are on the “stable” branch of Windows 10 or 11,but they still encounter bugs, “stable” Linux distros can also have bugs.
The difference between “stable” and not stable is that: 1.) The system is “stable” in that it’s very unlikely to crash. Stable Linux distros are much preferred for servers, for instance. 2.) Any OS related bugs you find will still be there likely until the next big release. (with Debian iirc this is like every 4 years)
GlenTheFrog@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Don't use Appimages (a writeup about all the reasons they are a pain for users)82·1 year agoTotally agree with basically every point here. You hit the nail on the head. App images are the .exe’s of the Linux world and I don’t understand how someone can say they love app images but hate Window’s portable exe’s. Even Windows doesn’t have nearly as many portable executable as they once did. And when they do, most people (even those who prefer app images) prefer an exe with a Windows installer.
Anyways, this is all to point out why I avoid app images if at all possible
GlenTheFrog@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm relatively unfamiliar with Linux. I'm getting a ThinkPad T460 and want to install Mint on it. Is there anything about the T460 I should know?3·1 year agoI can’t speak for the T460, but I have a T480 with dual batteries and battery swapping works just fine. With a bit of tinkering I was even able to get the fingerprint sensor to work as well
OpenSuse seems like it would meet your needs. OpenSuse Kalpa might be one to look into since it’s immutable and features KDE Plasma
With the amount of Linux nerds on Lemmy, I’m shocked there’s an a TUI client for it.
Maybe I’ll have to make one someday.
