WINE / PlayOnLinux
  • @AndrewZabar
    I used PlayOnLinux for years.
    Recently I migrated to Lutris. I have a Wine installation which are 15 Years old and Works fine on Lutris.
    Thanks to Lutris and its modern Settings I could use modern technology for my 32bit games.

  • X.org: no screens found
  • @user_naa
    I have a computer where xserver not work if you try to use it together with the internal graphiccard. With Wayland even a Screen on this internal card works.
    So I propose to try Wayland.

  • Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?
  • @Melatonin
    I installed a linux onto an USB stick
    installed Hw-probe. Created a little script that saved the result to disk. and opened the browser to the result page.

    And went to a Store:

    1. Insert USB Stick
    2. Press SHIFT on a Windows PC
    3. Than do a Power off on Windows
    4. chose reboot to stick
    5. connect smart-phone with thetering
    6. run HW-Probe script

    I was allowed to do that on every store i visited. Mostly I asked if the local staff would like see a running linux.

    That way I choosed my current laptop

  • What can I say, I didn't want to wait on my provider lol
  • @cm0002
    I need that!

    Is there a tutorial for that? I have an Old outdated Synology nas that I wish to replace the system with an Open Media Vault.

    Streetcomplete meanwhile has an overlay for POIs also.
    This Overlay is may not that detailed but after you placed a new poi the streetcomplete usual feature ask for details.

  • Old timers know
  • @dinckelman
    That's a thing I never understood. Everyone knows this problem but until now ther isn't a single Filesystem for linux that support version control native.

  • collaborative map software?
  • @technomad Streetcomplete has a team modus - never used it - As far I could see it only helps not maping the same Items.
    I dont know what happens to notes and how instant they appear.

  • Adblock and VPN all in one?
  • @damnthefilibuster
    For Android I recommend Rethink
    It has Wireguard, DNS and Firewall (per app and per IP/Domain)

  • Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • @federino
    I would like to request a feature vor my prefered gallary app Aves.
    I would like to have a protocol agnostic tool for Offline files.
    I wish to work with my Images storred on a Server at home. It would be nice if I could Sync files with it and descide if an Image should be storred localy or only on server.

    Storrage agnostic means, that i'm able to use either other saf integrations or been able to etablish a connection inside aves to smb or ssh-ftp.

    I miss such an app also for my Linux laptop. Currently, such a way of managing files currently exist only on Windows ( OneDrive, Dropbox)

  • what foss phone OS do you use and why?
  • @merompetehla
    Such question I like to answer with this link from a security specislist.
    privsec.dev/posts/

    Please check the category Android.
    Graphene seems the best possible custom rom.
    I use Lineageos because I got an old phone for free.

  • Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?
  • @a_new_sad_me
    That is a really cool idea! If you find a solution, please let me know.

  • And Debian is supposed to be the stable one
  • @pedz
    I'm on the same point. Until i had my multi connection bluetooth I worked the same way. The problem now. It does not work that nice.
    I try currently to switch back. But my goal currently is using my #Kodi Mediacenter. But Kodi sems still using alsa. It was a hack to get simultaniousl y output with a bluetooth speaker. (For Radio in other rooms)
    I gave up this network audio setup for Kodi.

  • Wine 9.10 Released With Upgrade To VKD3D 1.12, Brings DPI Awareness Improvements
  • @urska
    I have an old Windows 2000 game that I plan to install on Wine and a 12 year old NVidia Graphic card. Half a year ago I strugle to get it run on #Lutris. I randomly activated and deactivated checkboxes, because nower was Manual with a proper description of the settings. I gave it up a some point. At least I resceived te Start screen without crash.
    Are there any manuals how to choose settings for a game?

  • Disk imaging
  • @uhmbah
    I use gnome-disks.
    Then according to this german article:
    gnulinux.ch/raw-images-verklei…
    I reduce the images Partition to the smallest possible.
    edit it's content with kpartx and remove cache, tmp and trashbin
    and reduce the disk and image size with pishrink.

  • Wayland usage has overtaken X11
  • @KISSmyOSFeddit
    Hw-probe is a nice project. To buy my laptop I created an usb bootable linux that auto connectet my mobile hotspot and uploaded the report.
    I went to som shops and usbbooted their devices.
    Most shops had no problem with that.
    So I found a working convertable laptop. 👍

    What's sad ont this linux-hardware.org website is the poor desin of this homepage.
    It is really not usable, except for your own device. But also there its difficult to analyse for certain hardware details.

  • Systemd wants to expand to include a sudo replacement
  • @starman
    Systemd is nice. I miss GUI apps for #SystemD.
    Permanent mounting a Network drive or creating new Services and inspect and modify is such a point.
