We use NoMachine at work too, for WFH users’ remote access to internal servers and virtual desktops. It’s a nice tidy solution, it was forked from NX library from the X2GO project about 10 years ago and went commercial, they used the commercial money to continue to develop the technology.
Given it was forked from NX/X2GO it definitely works better on Xorg than Wayland, it seems like Wayland support was added as an afterthought bolted on.
No, I thought it was just me!
Sounds like your friend is absolutely not the target audience for a linux-based operating system. If he wants to play Windows games and use software designed for Windows, then he should be using a Windows OS. Anything else would be providing a suboptimal experience for him.
Personally, I’ve been using various Linux-based systems since 2004, as a software developer I use a lot of command-line utilities, and many tools and applications designed for Linux. If I were using predominantly tools and applications designed for Windows, then I would be using Windows. No need to make life more difficult for yourself and others.
I do the same, I use kodi on a CoreElec box on my 10 year old dumb TV. It works great, but my issue is it’s going to be extremely difficult to replace my TV when it gets time to upgrade. (Eg, if I want to move to an OLED, or QD panel). Every new TV on the market is a smart TV. It’s getting to the point that you need to buy a very large monitor, rather than a TV, to achieve the same setup.
Well, that’s a dumb Docker thing, not necessarily a dumb Linux mistake. You could’ve made the same mistake on Windows or MacOS when running Docker.
I was smug thinking “I haven’t done anything so silly as the people commenting in this thread”, then I came across this one. I’ve actually done this one, and it was earlier this year, and I’ve been using Linux since 2004, 20 years.
BTRFS: yo dawg, we heard you like partitions, so we put partitions in your partitions, so you can mount it inside your mounts.
I think you’re missing what’s going on. The text is still written left-to-right. You don’t need to read the tabs vertically. The tabs are stacked on top of each other in the sidebar instead of lined up along the top of the window.
Is it that Asus ProArt Creator motherboard? To my knowledge that’s the only AMD board that shipped with the special Intel chip required to use Thunderbolt.
I’ve been thinking of picking one up, but I can’t justify the crazy price for it.
Oh, I remember having to use Yocto when I started experimenting with the BeagleBone Black SBC back in 2015. Yes I remember it being very hard to use. I remember I had need to rebuild the kernel to include a disabled kernel module. The cross compilation on my desktop PC didn’t work, so I had to build it on the BeagleBone. That was an awful process, it took about 6 hours.
For anyone not familiar, the BeagleBone Black was an SBC that came out as competitor to the Raspberry Pi 2. The main difference was the BeagleBone used an open source design, based on a non-NDA CPU unlike the RPI, so it meant they published full kernel sources. But in my experiments I found the BeagleBone CPU was much slower than the RPI, and it’s graphics hardware was almost non-existent compared to RPIs integrated graphics.
Well, the whole spice trade was literally wealthy people buying taste.
Nobara is a good choice, it’s based on Fedora, and is maintained by Glorious Eggroll himself, it has out of the box features like proprietary driver installation, game mode, gamescope, etc. That’s what I run on my gaming PC and my HTPC, where my work laptop runs Kubuntu.
