i’m on a diet, i’ll just take the crackers

sudo eat | grep -v "Chocolate Cream"

it’ll usually be the artist’s name. Like if you search for “Taylor Swift”, you’ll get exactly zero results because that phrase is blacklisted due to a complaint from the label. If you instead search for a specific song, you will see results, and can work backwards from there to find the album you’re looking for.

The last time I had trouble finding something on Soulseek, it was an album that had released a month or two ago, so it might’ve still been too new.

Yeah, I’ve had to use that blacklist workaround on many occasions, lol

Oh wow, I never realized that was an option. Fixed, thanks!

I also just noticed I got the percentage in the meme wrong. Oops.

Linux is now at 4.55% desktop marketshare (up from <1% in early 2018).

Linux’s desktop marketshare has risen by ~350-400%, not 3.5-4%.

EDIT: reuploaded with corrected value

Context:

Back in 2018, Philip Robohle (doitsujin) developed DXVK because he wanted to play Nier Automata on Linux.

Valve hired him to work on it full time, then they released Proton (Wine + DXVK) a few months later. Proton likely would never have existed if it weren’t for DXVK, and by extension the Steam Deck either wouldn’t exist or would use Windows instead, and all the other cool Linux-related stuff Valve have worked on since probably wouldn’t have happened.

Desktop Linux’s marketshare rising is obviously not exclusively because of the gaming improvements, but it’s for sure a huge boon. Good enough for a dumb meme like this, lol

Replied to a different comment about this: https://lemmy.world/comment/12365020

This website has a decent summary: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

TL:DR: Repeated dumb mistakes that a (relatively) big distro like Manjaro should not be making. Haven’t heard any drama in the past year or so though, so maybe they’ve finally gotten their act together. Time will tell.

For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I’d still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.

Yeah, I think that’s definitely one of the roadblocks Lemmy is facing at the moment. Even though I deleted my Reddit account after the API nonsense, I’m absolutely still appending every DDG or Startpage search with “reddit.” Especially with the flood of AI-generated garbage filling search results, it’s the easiest way to get quick answers from (probably) real people.

However, that also relates to Reddit’s other advantage, in that it actually has a decade and a half of content to be indexed in the first place. The magic of Reddit is that every question has been asked in every way at least 5 times over, Lemmy just doesn’t have that history yet.

Really good, but I did have to remove the screen protector as I was getting line jitter with it on.

Palm rejection is better than I expected but not as good as an iPad.

I’ve been using a Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus. Pressure sensitivity and stuff works out of the box, no additional drivers needed or anything.

Krita is excellent.

Yeah this was the issue for a lot of the 2-in-1s I looked at. Lenovo, Dell, even Microsoft have some cool options, but they’re insanely expensive by the time you spec them to be comparable to the V3.

The 32gb ram model was $1000, on sale from the usual $1200

I was just pointing out the state of things on an up-to-date distro like Fedora as many times a newer kernel fixes stuff like this and no one bothers to update old reviews. I was already aware of the link you provided (it’s literally pinned to the top of the blog post I linked in my main post), but it’s irrelevant when I’m talking about the out-of-the-box experience. I only tried the input-remapper fix because someone pointed it out and I wanted to confirm that worked for me.

I didn’t make this post to complain about issues or ask for solutions, I’m here looking for interesting ideas and questions about this super cool hardware. This thing’s fucking awesome and I wanted to share.

I am super tempted to switch to KDE on this thing. KDE has always looked cool, but I’m too happy with Gnome on my main desktop to justify fully switching. This is seeming like a perfect opportunity for some variety…

You must be new to Linux as a whole.

lmao i am not

Just tried it, and yep, that solved that problem.

I’m being hyperbolic with that last part, but there’s so much basic computer stuff that the iPad can’t do that it feels like Apple only expects this to be a device to watch Netflix on.

I want to install VS Code (or a comparable IDE) and run/debug some Python scripts, can’t do it.

I want to open a terminal and use basic utilities like ssh, curl, tar, yt-dlp, rclone, rsync, etc, can’t do it. I literally need to install a separate app that lets me ssh into a Linux box so I can do basic stuff there. I’m SOL if I need to work with any data on the iPad’s file system though.

I want to install Godot and continue playing around with game development on the go, can’t do it.

I want to install Steam and play some indie games, can’t do it.

Procreate is pretty good, but I’d rather use Krita.

Which means despite the fact that I want to use it for more, all I do with my iPad Pro (“Pro,” lmao) is watch movies and TV from my Jellyfin server, occasionally draw if I don’t feel like sitting at my desk with a proper Wacom/Krita setup, and write my shopping list.
