Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I’ve tried.

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

In his defense, it isn’t really a fishing game without bait.

Finally, representation for gay people who are into irony.

dd is completely safe.

Only if you have the correct args and device names. Make a backup if you want to do it from the command line and aren’t feeling 100% confident.

When I’ve needed to transfer data over to a new disk, I’ve used gparted from a live usb to copy/paste partitions directly. Once that’s done, you’ll probably need to update /etc/fstab to point to the new drives and run update-grub (assuming you are using grub) to update the bootloader config.

Why do they need information about the hostname? Is it really valuable for them to know how many systems are named daves-pc?

I tried Cosmic and quite liked it. Just waiting for them to add a gnome 2 style window list widget with the window names.

There is, but I use a hipster keyboard layout and they don’t support alternate keyboard layouts yet.

Cinnamon. Desktop environment peaked in the Windows XP/Gnome 2 days and everything else is just change for the shake of change. :C

My only annoyance is lack of Wayland support. Tried out cosmic, but it doesn’t have the Windows XP/Gnome 2 style window list.

Screenshot for anyone interested:

If it turns out to actually be a problem, people can just fork Linux itself.

Man, fuck the games industry.

Oh, neat. Surprised that isn’t added to the default paths though.

It also still does the annoying name.like.this for binary names rather than just using normal names though.

I’m not entirely sure why this is news. Do people think he gets put into a test tube or something when when he’s not needed?

He’s a professional game developer, he’s probably working on games constantly.

vim

Opinion disregarded.

As an aside: I really wish flatpaks would put symlinks or something in ~/.local/bin so you could just run them without the flatpak run boilerplate.

Storage devices can fail at any time for any reason. Always have a backup.

Fwiw, I think BTRFS is better than ext4 and friends at actually detecting whether a block is corrupted or not.

Huh. Lot of people Russian’ to conclusions in this thread.

Sorry.

As far as I know, none of the major DEs have Windows-style telemetry turned on by default. So ignoring security issues and apps themselves, DEs should roughly be the same on the privacy front.

You can have multiple A records point to the same IP address, yes. Whatever website you’re managing your DNS with should allow you to create multiple subdomains as A/AAAA records. You can also (if you wish) use a wildcard to ensure that all subdomains go to your VPS’s server.

If you want to run multiple HTTP/HTTPS services on the same IP address (as it looks like you want to do), you’ll need to use a reverse proxy like Nginx. It can pattern match on domain names and ensure that traffic for one domain goes to an appropriate port/socket (mastodon.example.com being sent to the mastodon service). It’s not possible for DNS to specify port redirection.

Also, you’ve not mentioned it here, but look into https://letsencrypt.org/ for HTTPS certificates.
