What is a good piece of advice from your parents or that you’ve learned that others may not know or that you wish you were told as a child/teen?

Is it possible to migrate my account or should I just link it in the new one? I’m worried about the .zip in lemmy.zip and would like to bite the bullet and change over to another instance.

Is it possible to do this? From my understanding, it’s not mentioned in the README or any way to create a community in the app.

(From https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/kqw0si/guide_on_how_to_easly_run_pirated_games_on_linux/?rdt=44586)

  • Download pirated game
  • Install Lutris and find your game in it
  • Install original game through Lutris
  • Using WINEPREFIX="/Lutris/game/prefix (eg. /home/USER/Games/originalgame)" wine piratedgame.exe install pirated game into this Lutris prefix
  • Apply crack
  • (optional) Copy your saves into this prefix' c:\Users\Documents folder
  • Change game executable in lutris from platform exe (like EGS or Steam) to your pirated game's .exe
  • Run game using Lutris.

If Lutris is having issues, you may have better luck using Bottles, also trying the non flatpak version if you are currently using flatpak.

Have you tried archive.org?

If by normal people you mean the general public, my guess is just Tiktok and social media.

I’ve been looking online for ways to download websites (game wikis mostly), in order to have them all in my collection and ensure that they dont get taken down or changed.

After trying linkwarden, which is fine for singular web pages, one has to manually link each individual page of the wiki in order to make a pdf.

With this in mind, the only other option that I’ve discovered is using wget recursively. Do any you of you have experience with this or reccomend alternative ideas? Any and all help is appreciated.

PS: I will most likely download official game guides which will cover most of the games, but looking for something to cover all my games library.

Yes, they got rid of the lifetime warranty and I personally haven’t worn them, but people tell me their old ones work well and have a similar opinion as yours.

Thank you, I didn’t realise there was a community already.

I got an airpod cleaning multi tool from Amazon and it actually works really well.

Also if you have the Sony xm1004, they have little foam bits in them and over the years they get soaked up with sweat and earwax, it’s really gross. So if you think your sound is super quiet and have earbuds with foam inserts, first use some tweezers and something to gently squeeze out the foam and clean with isopropyl alcohol.

What are some lesser known items or tricks in your profession that most people don’t know about?

For me one thing would be Thrift drain cleaner. I was having issues with my drains being clogged and nothing really worked, but looking around on forums and advice from plumbers lead me to Thrift and now my drains work great.

Some that come to mind are:

Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear

What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

I think the only reasonable way to do that would be using AI since the sponsors are placed randomly throughout usually. Unless you listen to a specific podcast and they do same length of sponsor in same time slot every video you could automate something that cuts it out.

I’m sure there would be a way to create a script that puts the commands that you’d like in for a given url. Also haven’t used yt-dlp, it’s nice that they have sponsorblock built in.

I don’t have much experience with Plex, but if you can map the buttons in autohotkey you may be able to set it up to perform certain tasks in Plex. Also for consideration you should look into getting a small NAS setup with raid 5 in order to keep your media safe in case of a drive failure.

Being offline should not be a problem as long as devices are on the same local network.

Hello everyone, I remember the times of walkthrough guides being used for older games and was wondering if there is a central area for game walkthroughs for both newer games and older games through late 90s and early 2000s. There are official game guides which I may get, but fan guides would be cool as well.

I’m looking for a somewhat easy to read printable pdf format for games including the dark souls series (all fromsoft games), doom, skyrim, etc etc. My job requires me to be offline for extended periods of time, and I really do like the use of guides in order to keep track of my progress and as a quick reference.

Thanks for any and all help you can provide.

I forgot to mention Fedora Silverblue. I’ve used it after Micro os and it was a better experience. Fedora seems to have a better out of box experience and had no issues.

I have heard of Gentoo, but not Funtoo. I’m still fumbling my way through Arch but I will definitely make some VMs one day to see what it’s all about. From my understanding (correct me if I’m wrong please) Gentoo is like Arch but even more customization, everything has to be compiled from source.

What is your experience with Gentoo, how would you describe it compared to Arch? Also I’ve seen FreeBSD as well and think it would be super nice for a server but not able to play games without difficulty due to fundamental differences to linux.

My Linux Journey (lemmy.zip)
submitted 9 months ago by fortniteplaya@lemmy.zip to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hello everyone, I’ve been using linux on my main system for the past few years and am very happy with the results. From repurposing old family laptops to give them new life, to being able to play triple A games with little to no issues, Linux has turned into my OS of choice.

Through all of the ups and downs, learning about the different distros and desktop environments/ window managers has taught me a lot about what each distro is aiming for and how they want to achieve it.

The purpose of this post is to mainly help encourage others to make the switch. Regardless of use case, I believe that it can be done better with Linux. Don’t be discouraged by the overwhelming amount of distros out there, I can say that I have spend the first year taking Linux more seriously messing with different distros and seeing what works well.

This is a list of distros that I’ve used in chronological order and my thoughts on it:

  • Ubuntu - Used as email and web machine for family members on old computers, worked fine
  • Linux Mint - Looks more like Windows, seems faster than Ubuntu
  • Pop OS - Used for their easy install option for my Nvidia dual gpu laptop which was a pain on anything else, worked okay
  • Manjaro - Was a bit more difficult to get used to, ended up feeling buggier than Linux Mint
  • Endeavouros - Slightly better than Manjaro, still had random bugs and wiki was not very helpful
  • Garuda OS - Similar to last two, just reskinned
  • Opensuse TW - First distro that I truly enjoy, more up to date and easy to manage
  • Opensuse MicroOs - Wanted to see what the immutable distro thing was about, works fine but gets hairy if you want to install non flatpaks or give flatpaks access to system files. I definitely see the use case, just not suited for what I’m doing
  • Debian - Similar to first 3 without extra customization of distro, not as up to date in some areas but the tradeoff is a much more stable less bloated environment. In my opinion its the best for a system that you want to work every time with little to no issues as long as you don’t mind missing cutting edge feature
  • Arch(btw) - My current distro. Spent a whole weekend trying to install it wondering if it was worth all the time. After installation, system works great on AMD hardware and is set up for dual gpu passthrough to play nearly any game with no issues. The wiki is amazing and has helped me solve any issues that I’ve come across.

To conclude, Linux is difficult at first, but after learning more about how things interact and understanding more of what’s happening, the result is extremely stable with so much to learn and discover. I also reccomend taking the dive into more terminal based applications when possible, they have been more efficient and less buggy in my experience, although I understand not wanting to live in the terminal. In the end, it’s your system and you can customize it however you need, take the time and find out what works best for you and you will be very happy with the results.

Hello everyone, I’ve seen a lot of my friends play these types of games (mainly rimworld) and saw the complexity of this game and decided to pick it up. While it is very interesting, it’s also very daunting to me.

My guess is that I’m more used to rpg and fps games with a set goal of some sort whereas this game is very open ended with what to do. I am overwhelmed by all of the options in the game and I am wondering if there are others that feel the same. If so, how have you overcome this feeling or learned to enjoy the game?

An idea I have is to just go with the in game tutorials and see what happens without worrying about the outcome, maybe I’m caught up with doing everything optimally when I should just enjoy the experience.

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

It’s nice to see some activity on things that I like on here. Hopefully the app gets more popular over time, I especially love more obscure lower view gaming channels, seems like a closer connection and less trash.
