I'm getting sick every day at this Microsoft Windows slowness and bloat. I am trying to use as much Linux VMs as possible. I feel so unproductive on Windows. I also tried installing Linux on the office laptop. The problem is that Windows is officialy supported and the Linux is DYI. Once the IT departament changes it will sync up with Windows but Linux can be broken and you are no longer able to work. Next job I want to have full Linux laptop or at least Mac.

Besides:

Microsoft Office
Active Directory
Some proxy and VPN bullshit

Everything seems manageable and even better on Linux.

What is your experience?

How to choose the best Linux hardware for PC Building? (linux-hardware.org)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by Psyhackological@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

I see the raise of popularity of Linux laptops so the hardware compatibility is ready out of the box. However I wonder how would I build PC right know that has budget - high end specification. For now I'm thinking

Case: does not matter
Fans: does not matter
PSU: does not matter
RAM: does not matter I guess?
Disks: does not matter I guess?
CPU: AMD / Intel - does not matter but I would prefer AMD
GPU: AMD / Intel / Nvidia - for gaming and Wayland - AMD, for AI, ML, CUDA and other first supported technologies - Nvidia.

And now the most confusing part for me - motherboard... Is there even some coreboot or libreboot motherboard for PC that supports "high end" hardware?

Let's just say also a purpose of this Linux PC. Choose any of these

Blender 3D Animation rendering
Gaming
Local LLM running

If you have some good resources on this also let me know.

Publishers face 20% game revenue reduction if Denuvo DRM is cracked quickly, according to new study by Psyhackological in c/games@sh.itjust.works

That got lost in the wild. Also funny that shitier experience is more expensive than seeking for a better one for free. I remember it with Hogwarts Legacy when Denuvo free version got less frame drops and more FPS than Denuvo counterpart.

I once pirated Cuphead and loved it so much that I felt bad not supporting and buying it. It was only after First Isle.

Why do you care about privacy? by Psyhackological in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 41 points 3 months ago

Feeling clean
Not being exploited
Minimalism
Less power drain
Less data sent
Freedom
Everything works better and faster
I hate spying because they can
To be honest also because most people don't care

The only con is convenience.

How can we make Linux more appealing as "just works"? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 3 months ago by Psyhackological@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

160 comments fedilink

Let's say just like for example like MacOS. It's awesome we have so many tools but at the same time lack of some kind of standardization can seem like nothing works and you get overwhelmed. I'm asking for people that want to support Linux or not so tech-savy people.

Why Wayland adoption to have official support in programs is so slow? (wayland.freedesktop.org)

submitted 4 months ago by Psyhackological@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

108 comments fedilink

Wayland seems ready to me but the main problem that many programs are not configured / compiled to support it. Why is that? I know it's not easy as "Wayland support? Yes" (but in many cases adding a flag is enough but maybe it's not a perfect support). What am I missing? Even Blender says if it fails to use Wayland it will use X11.

When Wayland is detected, it is the preferred system, otherwise X11 will be used

Also XWayland has many limitations as X11 does.

How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Psyhackological@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

49 comments fedilink

I'm looking for interesting tools to automate managing packaging and configuring everything automated.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment so I for now know these:

Ansible - automating many machines, using different package names as vars and package managers.
Bash - the most native and compatible scripting language that can be.
Chezmoi - for dotfiles.

For now that's it. I'm looking forward for your suggestions!

What file systems are you using on your devices and why? (en.wikipedia.org)

submitted 4 months ago by Psyhackological@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

257 comments fedilink

I want to learn more about file systems from the practical point of view so I know what to expect, how to approach them and what experience positive or negative you had / have.

I found this wikipedia's comparison but I want your hands-on views.

For now my mental list is

NTFS - for some reason TVs on USB love these and also Windows + Linux can read and write this
Ext4 - solid fs with journaling but Linux specific
Btrfs - some modern fs with snapshot capability, Linux specific
xfs - servers really like these as they are performant, Linux specific
FAT32 - limited but recognizable everywhere
exFAT - like FAT32 but less recognizable and less limited

How FOSS is your setup? by Psyhackological in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] Psyhackological@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 months ago

Maybe just say why it is better:

No ads / subscriptions
No tracking
Free software is really fast
You can do many projects with Lichess
Clean non-cluttered UI

So, in summary, it's not hyped up (marketing), clean, no tracking, free chess.com experience.

I don't know what are the advantages' chess.com has over Lichess right now. The chess should be free.

I think you can be a DRM free copy on their website too. But damn, that game is expensive with all the DLCs.
