10·9 months agoIsn’t this the RockPi? Or is the RockPi just based on the RK3588? It’s great for open-source but good lord are these SBC’s astronomically high.
2·9 months agoIRIX was Unix based with BSD extensions and I believe Maxx Interactive now runs on FreeBSD without Linux compatibility mode. So hopefully it won’t be long before it goes open source. Though I can’t understand why it would be needed outside of anything but nostalgia.
Android? It’s not wholly closed source similar to RedHat they’ve got closed source elements while using open source elements.
Linux and its kernel are based on GPL and so to distribute something using it would require a compatible license. That means a full distro can’t be anything but open source and actually be distributed in free or paid versions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t closed source interfaces being used personally or undistributed.
I love Tabby simply because it allows me to set it up like the drop down terminal in Quake. Specifically its capabilities make my use of it easier and far more capable than something like guake.
Yeah installed it on an old Core 2 Duo laptop and so far it works great. Granted I’m running i3 rather than a hefty desktop.
Man I haven’t heard about Manjaro in a LOOONG time. Guess I need to look back into it.
Sadly Minecraft is very much CPU dependent over GPU. When you really start cranking down hard on the GPU with Proton you’re really hoping everything just works out without showing any cracks. With Nvidia’s lack of true Linux support it makes Proton pretty tough to get right.
There is always hoping though!
I meant it more as an inexperienced Linux user having to fix something and inadvertently causing havoc more so than drive wiping.
The F Windows posts are great and can be very therapeutic. But guaranteed those users haven’t issued a command that accidentally wipes out their entire drive accidentally. Or they haven’t had their Window Manager just up and decide it doesn’t feel like working anymore because of an update.
I work with Linux a lot simply because of my 3D printers and I love it. But being on a community driven edge can be a nightmare sometimes when something updates and you’ve got to track down the problem. For me that’s half the fun since I usually get to help someone else out with the same issue.
That’s interesting! I’ll have to give it a shot!
I need to try Gentoo again. The installer used to be absolute garbage and required a ton of work to get the a usable system if you deviated too far from a normal computer setup.
Thank you. I was hoping to be able to see trends over a few years rather than over small quarters.
Really wish I could see popularity spanning over years rather than a quarter. Maybe I’m missing a setting somewhere I’m not seeing.
Not to mention your average user is likely to read the error on screen whether they know a log exists at all. This info alone can help software support.
111·1 year agoWhy do you need a headphone jack? Any DAC in a phone is going to be useless if you’re saying because of HiFi Audio. And when it comes to using a HiFi DAC I’d much rather just use a USB-C powered port for my headphones.
iOS is based off of Darwin which was based off of BSD Linux. So was MacOS for that matter.
Ok, so it’s time for me to do some research on Flatpaks now. I’m an old schooler from Redhat days and haven’t kept up with the new stuff all that much.
Wine nor bottles are reliable enough for making backups in that fashion. You’re almost guaranteeing corrupting the backup and the same goes for restoring the backup.
If it’s for work and is required to be backed up then just backup to iCloud and have your work maintain the extra cost in size.
What philosophy do you speak of? Are you talking about the walled garden that is the App Store?
Sounds like all the JavaScript I’ve ever seen.
