I really need to take the time to
Since ProtonDB (and obviously Proton itself, Wine with its own WineApp DB, SteamOS) there is an easy way to check if your favorite games do work. That being said I understand that people are afraid. They might think “OK… well Elden Ring works but what about the DLC, or upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign?” and believe, probably rightfully so to be honest, that because Windows is still the most popular OS for gaming on PC and that game publishers are economically rational actors, more testing and fixes will be done against that target platform.
So… 100% is a ridiculous coverage because it’s impractical but IMHO they are not that silly to “want” it. It’s just a simpler way to say they are scared and do not want to bother. They would rather follow the crowd than take a risk themselves and be trail blazers.
All that being said now that ProtonDB exists and Valve is actively radically improving support via Proton, that gamers see in the wild SteamDecks popping up literally around them, in flights, airports, waiting rooms, etc they just can not ignore the fact that support is improving enough to have fun. Mentality will change but it takes time and Microsoft is fighting back because despite having Azure as their dollar printing asset, they are just hooked on bundling.
I didn’t downvote but I bet I understand people who did, as this comment does NOT address OP concern. They just add yet another alternative to verify without explaining how to actually do so, i.e. they make the problem worst rather than help, IMHO.
Since you ask, here are my thoughts https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence with numerous examples. To clarify your points :
To clarify on the first point, as the other 2 unfold from there, such project would instantly lose credibility if they were to sneak in telemetry. Some FLOSS projects tried that in the past and it always led to uproars, reverts and often forks of the exact same codebase but without telemetry.
I’m sure you do, you little scum! /s
Specially the moment you open the browser
I’d be curious, did you profile if it’s for all pages or only some? I’d expect e.g. Facebook or Instagram to be more demanding than Lemmy or ProtonMail but to be honest I have no idea.
It’s a balance, namely you are probably wasting time if you jolt down literally everything… but also what you don’t write down and forget, have no way to backtrack, will also waste time.
IMHO it’s the process itself that matters, namely that by taking the time to write down, organize, lookup, you gradually have to do it less and less because you are more conscious about what you know, what you don’t, and adapt accordingly.
If you do find a better way, based on a tool or not, please do share back!
For most users most of the time, the repetition/automation is not the point and ability to write scripts is not the most important thing.
Well if that’s the case then it’d be like somebody buying a bike, removing the wheels, and complaining that truly it’s not as fast as a car or as convenient as walking. Sure, it’s true but… if one is missing the point of a tool then they can’t really complain about how “bad” it is.
Honestly I do not know how the CLI is most popularly used. I do have usage data for that (and I’m not sure who might, maybe Ubuntu?) but again, if people are using it to “type fast” then they are wrong.
Regarding memorizing and the problem of this thread, yes it IS a problem but that’s precisely why I also commented https://lemmy.ml/post/24395107/15908795 before, namely that someone learning the CLI (namely … ALL of us, even people like me who have been using it for decade, at home and professionally) should actually admit they are learning and thus rely on tools as they otherwise normally would.
because it’s faster if you can type fast and remember everything.
No. That’s just wrong. You only need to type ONCE and you don’t have to remember it all, that’s why reverse-i-search (aka Ctrl-r) is so powerful. It allows you to search within your command history so you only need to remember few letters of the command (which you can annotate, e.g. commandname parameter #it does this) and can even edit after, e.g. changing parameters.
But, more fundamentally, that is NOT the point of the command line!
The whole point of the command line is… to be able to repeat things, namely to script actions that can be customizes and combined to YOUR unique needs. So it’s absolutely not about typing speed or memory. In fact, once I do have a good command, what do I do? I save it as a script precisely so that I do NOT have to type it again. Think of commands as Lego bricks that can be combined to together, build on top of. That is basically impractical with GUIs. Sure there are some tools to automate the click on GUIs but it’s unreliable, nor can it be easily shared.
PS: I’m not saying anyone should use the command line over GUIs. I’m not being prescriptive. I’m only trying to clarify what the point of the CLI is.
TL;DR: command line is about combining tools to your unique needs, repetitively and reliably.
You can download StackOverflow, Wikipedia, etc very conveniently, cf https://kiwix.org/
I have a local copy that I bring on travels with me and I keep it relatively up to date. Very convenient thanks to having a single file per source and tools to read it (Web server, GUI, etc).
First of all, we are ALL in the same boat. Newcomers from whatever OS to professionals alike, we all struggle to remember commands and their idiosyncratic syntax.
Now that this is out of the way, namely that you are not “special” in having difficulties there, a little challenge. How do YOU normally do when you are learning something new? Typically when people do that, e.g. at school or while doing a professional training, they take notes. Are you doing that? I know it might sound “strange” but learning Linux is… well fundamentally learning so yes you can use whatever tools and techniques for that too. So… here are MY notes https://fabien.benetou.fr/Tools/Shell which will probably be rather pointless to you but at least prove that I’m not suggesting something I didn’t try first.
TL;DR: yes, use all the tools & tricks recommended here (IMHO with reverse-i-search first) but don’t forget to actually take notes!
Right, but to clarify because maybe we aren’t talking about the same thing here, the Nebulas Mars II Pro isn’t an SBC, it’s an Android device (video projector here). So it has to be rooted and install a custom ROM. Are you saying it’s available or know how to make one? Because, again, I’d be eager to try, but it’s not the same process, AFAIK, as installing Slack, LibreElec or whatever on a RPi or dekstop.
I used Kodi, then LibreELEC then now “just” VLC (booting to it via https://f-droid.org/en/packages/news.androidtv.launchonboot/ rather than home screen) as my content is on my home server relying on DLNA. So… I’m familiar with LibreELEC but isn’t it a Linux distribution? Can it be installed on the device itself (not using HDMI) and if so, how?
Wish I could replace Android on my Nebulas Mars II Pro by Plasma Bigscreen…
The only bastion left is anticheat. Everything else are just (bad) old habits fueled by marketing.
NVIDIA-SMI 535.183.01 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, been playing (and working) with it on Debian (and Ubuntu) with that setup for years now and… pretty much 0 problem.
It’s only when I tinker with CUDA for ML tinkering that I might spend 1h re-installing the right driver to match version, or containers, but otherwise, as daily driver, pretty much flawless experience.
I believe from time to time I get a glitch on Plasma when PC comes back from hibernation but that’s solved in 1s.
