Did you install #syncthing via homebrew? Does it work reliably? If not, how did you install it?
Bazzite: The next generation of Linux gaming
#HackerNews #LinuxGaming #Bazzite #NextGenGaming #GamingCommunity #OpenSource
In a few days the parts for my new computer will arrive. I've been running #linux ( #debian and #ubuntu) on my servers and laptops for 20 years, but this'll be the first time I've had it on my primary desktop.
My main concern is game compatibility. I have a Steam Deck, and most stuff runs just fine, but I'm a bit leery of going for one of the fashionable "gamer" distros ( #bazzite et al). I'm thinking of starting with Mint and testing the waters.
Any advice?
@pallenberg
Ich werde auf meinem neuen Gaming-Rechner mal #Bazzite ausprobieren.
ich selber nutze pures Arch dafür. Ich mag den inmutable Ansatz von Bazzite nicht, weil das viel Platz braucht. Cachy bringt kaum Performance. D.h. bei den Alternativen wäre es SteamOS
@pallenberg
Eigentlich gehen meiner Meinung nach alle aktuellen Linuxe (also keine LTS) für gaming.
Ich würde sogar rolling release Distros empfehlen, da fort die aktuellen Fortschritte am schnellsten kommen.
Allerdings könnte es bei den NVIDIA CS treibern ab und zu Probleme geben. Welche dann da die besseren sind wird jedes mal anders sein.
Tipp: installiere deine bevorzugten einfach auf nen schnellen USB stick und teste sie ne Woche.
@pallenberg würde #Bazzite empfehlen, ist am einfachsten zu warten und steamos Recht ähnlich
Steamos braucht meines Wissens AMD Hardware
and it gets worse! After installing, I had the exact same issue rebooting from the new system. I had to do that "nomodeset intel_idle.max_cstate=1" trick again just to boot at all then add it also in my grub configuration file, via terminal (and nano) so it actually works.
I can do all of this, it's not particularly difficult, but it *is* quite tedious and, I'd suggest, one of the reasons people aren't using Linux very much, this process is NOT for the faint of heart.

I don't think these are issues on #bazzite
what are the chances that I can get Rocksmith 2014 to work in Bazzite? Rocksmith launches fine but can't see the USB guitar dongle, and Bazzite can see the dongle just fine and it shows up as an audio input. I also tried Guitarix and while it functioned, there was a noticeable and frustrating delay between playing and hearing.
I found these instructions but bazzite works different than fedora:

The silence from software projects about @frameworkcomputer supporting #fascism is speaking volumes.
Does @jorge of #bluefin, the @bazzite_gg #bazzite team, @fedora #fedora or @ubuntu #ubuntu have anything to say about this?
It's not going away. Framework is actively promoting you as part of their big #nazi embracing tent.
You on board? Is the free hardware worth supporting fascists?
So far @ariadne of @alpinelinux #alpine has demonstrated their ethics & willingness to protect the community.

Don't suppose there is anyone #simracing on #linux here? I've just got myself a wheel and am doing laps badly in #assetto_corsa competizione and I'd like a lap data recorder so I can see where I'm screwing up but I've tried running a few with #winezgui and while they load they can't pick up the game at all.
Anyone have any ideas or can point me to a data app that works with ACC on #bazzite

@BrodieOnLinux Well hearing the developers comment on it that if you thing X11 security is bad, it's much worse than you think... and I like moving towards the future of where things will go. So (I commented on it when you asked about what kept people on X11) but I jumped to the Wayland session 2 realeases before Fedora defaulted to it (there were rough edges, but nothing like when I started using Linux, didn't have to configure wayland by hand like X in the day, or bounce between the dual boot of 95 and Linux to figure out how to configure a chat script to get on dial up internet, all while learning vi).
I know (in addition to being a Wayland shill 😉) you also shill for Arch, but IMHO it breaks itself too often... #fedora gets me new stuff faster, and doesn't break itself. When you do your main system upgrade and make a new system with the spare parts, you should really check out the #ublue image based / atomic systems. I run a custom build myself to have it just the way *I* want (pull bits from #bluefin / #bazzite / secureblue). Plus if you really want something from AUR you can always use distrobox to run the userspace of *ANY* OS on the rock solid base system. But really anything you want is probably in `brew` already anyways. @jorge and crew do an incredible job providing the container based tools to build (or just tweak theirs) to be how you want it.
I mean enjoy Linux and encorage others to as well however you want, but all the Nix shills talking about how great it is to have an exactly configured system (if you take 2 years to learn a new programming language and constantly tweak and learn the new way they're doing it don't sell me on it personally. Containerfiles and chezmoi for my dot files get me the same result so much faster / easier.
Since we did one for X11 lets do one for Wayland,
For all the Wayland users out there, what is it that made you finally swap to Wayland? Or did some of you not even realize you've swapped to Wayland. #Linux

😁 Helped my friend install #Bazzite on his ROG Ally.

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?
I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.
