Is Linux (dumb)user friendly yet? in c/[email protected]

[–] GustavoM 2 points 4 months ago

If you mean "dumb friendly" by "An exact Windows clone"... there are plenty of "Windowslike" Linux distros out there.

If you mean "user friendly" by "Easy to understand by any user"... then yes, (any) Linux distro is user friendly as is.

As long as its power draw is stupidly low yet has decent performance...? I'm game.

Nano is my "daily drive", but I'd use vim as well -- takes a couple seconds to search for "how to type in linux vim" and "how to save a file in linux vim" anyways. :^)

Eh? Maybe I should do some "funs and giggles" with my Orange pi zero 3...

Everything is complicated if you aren't willing to commit/learn.

...instead of having to create an entry for every single game.

I think I might be shot and burnt alive in a cross for saying this, but... have you tried adding class="*" instead of restricting it to the steam client only? Oh, and I tried this on my opi zero 3 and it works. The performance boost was really noticeable.

He is in for a surprise when he realizes GNU/Linux is much more convenient than Winblows.

Something like a thermostat or a smart fridge -- have you seen any? If so, please share with a video or two.

Because Im currently typing this on mine (1 GiB, android install) and everything is (very surprisingly) rock solid -- page loading is very smooth, youtube playback is smooth as well (it can even play 4k videos no problem) and even gaming works flawlessly well (Haven`t went too far beyond PS1 games, but from PS1 and under it plays everything really well.). In short -- It delivers a desktop experience at the expense of almost nothing with the power draw at that same level -- 1W (best case scenario) to 3W(worst case scenario).

There is a reason why Linux is my main operating system of choice -- and it's not because of the freedom. (lemmy.world)

(Since my developing skills are near zero, so eh....)

Basically, a music player that converts (any sort of tune) into a chiptune (in real-time?) and plays it. Various sound sets can be chosen -- from 8 bit ones, to 16 bit... super mario (snes) sound set, etc. Bonus points if its CLI, made using c++ code.

I can't seem to write a Android image to an microsd (with dd) but everything works as intended when its with a Linux image -- what is going on? (self.linux4noobs)

As title says. More specifically, its a android image for the Orange pi Zero 3. Is there a flag that I should be using or something like that? Thanks in advance.

Is the game really intended to be this much of a "try-it-until-you-get-it" luck-based RPG? (self.baldurs_gate_3)

I mean, the game is amazing, has amazing dialogues, atmosphere and all that, but damn... the combat is surely a downer. Feels like theres no "real" tactic to the game other than just keep on (mindlessly) trying until the battle is won. And yes, I've done all quests, sidequests, with a "non-meme" party on the balanced difficulty and I'm -still- having lots of "please don't use (x) skill or else my whole run is done for" moments.

As title says. Been editing images quite way too much lately and I (desperately) need a color picker to speed things up. Thanks in advance.
