It’s all part of the same project, Universal Blue.
Aurora -desktop KDE
Bluefin - desktop Gnome
Bazzite - gaming and handheld focused with KDE
I installed Bazzite on a desktop I recently gave away to some local people. I also used Bazzite for two years as a htpc before I got a steam deck. It was good stuff, never had problems with it.
Aurora is going to come setup with things like non-free codecs, distrobox, rocm stuff. It’ll make life a bit simpler.
I can’t say, my use case is pretty limited to cutting, noise reduction, amplify or de-amplify.
But for what I do it’s exactly what I got from audacity previously.
It was taken on by another maintainer in 2022.
Do you remember the days before proton? Like the time I couldn’t play Terraria for months because they didn’t have anyone in their dev team who could update the Linux version to keep it working. The workaround was to get the windows version working through wine.
Using wine to play windows games is something we have done for years before proton made it easier. It’s a very Linux thing to do. Even some old ports were just using wine wrappers.
Tenacity is actively maintained, and they migrated to Codeberg instead of github. Just seems better all around to stick with it and keep avoiding audacity.
Brotato was the only game I played this week.
Do you play devilution x with trackpad mouse?
I always find the sentiment of “no updates, no downloads” to be not quite right in the context.
The chameleon likely would’ve been more at home with Indie/retro-inspired games. The games that have mastered the concept of ongoing updates without punishing the consumer.
Terraria and Stardew Valley in a state of constant evolution, still getting better 10 years, 15 years after their release.
Dead Cells, Dredge, Vampire Survivors, Binding of Isaac, Grim Dawn, No Man’s Sky, Brotato, any number of other indie games that have lived on for years due either massive or incremental updates.
The solution works for the AAA games problem. “The game should be playable and feature complete at launch”. For these games, the DLC is often just cash grabs, looking for reasons to milk customers. The “gold release” state not being updated later requires the multi billion dollar studios to finish, polish and deliver.
But these are not the kind of games the chameleon would have been able to play, its wheelhouse would have been the indie games that started out as fun games and became something a hundred times more over time.
Everyone is already saying it, the best is the one you know.
Basically, all distros can do whatever you want. The one you are most comfortable with and find easiest to use is what you will be able to make do those things.
But if you’re a bit of a newbie and not comfortable doing much with your current distro anyway, then there are some safe bets I’d often recommend:
Opensuse tumbleweed is very up to date, has btrfs + snapper by default in case you break it badly. Updates are also less likely than arch, for example, to cause a break. Also has a lot of pre installed software that can be more difficult to make go away due to how their “patterns” work. At some point it’ll reinstall everything you remove unless you blacklist that software.
Aeon is an immutable version of tumbleweed but without all the pre installed stuff. The auto updates work spot-on (you’ll just see a message say your system is up to date) and auto rollback on next boot if an update does break things. Great if you want to rely on flatpaks and distrobox. The KDE software suite is all good on flathub too. (Aeon is gnome only though!)
Yeah. Didn’t expect more to pop up though. Already blocked two yesterday, this is another one.
Either this community is experiencing a bot problem, or a troll problem. That sucks either way.
Every time I hear new music now, I’m just gonna say “sounds like Offspring”
We have a bunch of these ceramic pots which often come as gifts when people give us plants.
No drainage holes. What use are they? They’re so small I think only succulents would be an option, but wouldn’t they just rot in water?
I’m not active enough of an internet guy to remember to actually post stuff - so we’re going back 6 months…
I surprised my daughter (and the entire family) on Christmas morning when they found this waiting in the living room. I hadn’t told my partner I’d been working on anything, kept it quiet.
It’s all just pine, dressed all round. Had to go buy a cheap and nasty jigsaw to cut the doors and opening between floors since my coping saw broke whilst trying to work this (handle snapped clean off, thanks Stanley)
The roof- cut at an angle, turned one piece over and glued it. Then stood like a statue holding it for half an hour pressing it against the ground until it dried enough. Couldn’t think of any other way to hold it tight at that angle -_-
The floors and balcony are all slotted into through dados. Cut, chiseled and then cleaned up a bit with trim router. And I hate so much working pine with chisels! (I’ve since got a bigger router bit that would have made this much easier)
Finished with water based Jarrah stain, with water based acrylic paint on the roof and “bathroom”. Some of that finish is really sloppy, I was still out there late on Christmas Eve trying to get the last few coats on.
A leftover sheet of mdf (think about 5mm) just painted and nailed in as the back wall.
There’s a little set of stairs on the ground floor finished with dark carnauba wax. There’s also a little rope ladder going up to the top floor - was from our pet bird who had left us recently.
A whole mish mash of different ideas here, but I just wanted to make something fun and interesting for my daughter.
For what I wanted to do for her first big Christmas (just turned 3), this turned out better than I thought I could do.
Finally completed a bed for my 3 year old daughter. This was my first project in 20 years, so it’s taken me about 9 months of relearning techniques, practicing, finding the right tools, and just finding time really.
Originally was just M&T and half lap joins, but when setting up I decided it was a little too wiggly so I put 38mm and 17mm angle brackets to reinforce it.
Mostly construction lumber from local hardware shop. A few pieces “feature pieces”, Blackbutt and Macrocarpa. Finished with walrus furniture oil. The slats were cut down from someone selling off pieces of their bed on marketplace. (?)
