As a linux gamer, a game that is not available on Steam is a game i won’t even bother checking. I can easily run non-steam game using lutris or heroic-game-launcher but I prefer to stick to my walled garden than step in their’s.

mhz@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?8·2 years agoMtp is your friend, here is hiw I do it on my devices (samsung a23 and both opensuse and arch):
-
I connect my phone to my pc. Then select mtp in the phone notification.
-
Start my file manager (dolphine or whatever) and access my phone storage from there.
-
Make sure to allow the notification on the phone asking if you want to sahre your storage with the external device.

lspci shows Realtek RTL8852AE which is a Wifi6 (ax) adapter, It may not support the latest standard but I don’t think it’s that old.
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Linux use on Steam ends 2023 with a multi-year high (thanks Steam Deck)12·2 years agoWelcome to the linux community.
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•Linux use on Steam ends 2023 with a multi-year high (thanks Steam Deck)24·2 years agoYay, linux use was around 1% the beginning of 2023, now it’s so close to 2%, I hope we see an exponential growth by the end of this year.
Is it possible to have .vimrc store somewhere in ~/.config?
I had one before, then 2060, then 2080 and finally 6800 (current one), how is your nvidia experience right now compared to 2018? Any better?
mhz@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•how much backing up would you do of a media server?English8·2 years agoI can always get the media again if need be.
Doesn’t that mean you already have backup? It may not be the easiest to restore, but it is a backup nevertheless.
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?5·2 years agoI like to think a subvolume is a directory on my filesystem that:
- Acts as an independent filesystem.
- Shares it’s parent size (unless quotas are set in place)
- Can be mounted/unmounted any time
- Excluded from their parent partition’s snapshots. (a /home subvolume is exluded from / snapshots).
- Can be snapshot-ed independently.
This is by no mead a definition for BTRFS subvolume, but I hope you get the idea.
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?6·2 years agoOne EFI + one ROOT partition is what I do on both my laptop and desktop for years, /home is a subvolume to my root partition. This setup suits my needs as I don’t have to worry about how big should my root or home (gaming) partition should be.
I use Arch on my desktop and Opensuse on my laptop. They both have options to set up subvolumes from their installer, Debian does not, and I’m not sure about other distros, but you can always set that up after installation, just make your home partition the last one (after the root partition) so you can easily delete it after and grow the root partition without much blocks relocation.
No problem here with Opensuse slowroll (Sway WM) and a Realtek bluetootth radio, I’m using blueman for managing enabling/managing bluetooth connections.
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Developer of "The Pale Beyond" had shared playtime stats, and SteamOS is at 5.28%English01·2 years ago47.56+41.23+1.36+5.28 = 95.43
Is it safe to assume the rest (4.57) is coming from desktop linux users? If so, that would add up to 9.85%.l of linux users.
- Laptop: Opensuse slowroll with Sway
- Home PC: Arch with KDE
- Home server: Debian 12 (headless)
mhz@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•EndeavourOS Ditches Xfce for KDE Plasma with the Galileo Release1·2 years agoProbably to drop support for xorg. Plasma 6 is going to be wayland by default, while xfce is slow when it comes to wayland adoption
That is why I’m actually doing it, we have a couple of old workstation with Win7 we almost never use at my workplace. I use my portable debian on these machines to practice bash scripting, python and recently docker.
I few thing to consider:
- use the fastest usb drive you can get, you will be held back by its access/write speed
- Install the boot loader on the usb drive.
- you can install ‘xrdp’ to access remitly using thw windows remote desktop.
- You will probably find a docker image of things you are interested in, I recently switch from codium (apt) to codercom/code-server docker image, this way I can access vscode from a browser on any worstation on my workplace.
- Routing can be a bit challenging if your organisation/school use its private intranet, but I set my debain instance (with my phone attached to it in usb tithering mode) to use tinyproxy to connect to the internet from (preferably portable) firefox from any workstation at my workplace.
- Dont tell my boss.
LVM gives you the ability to downsize and resize without having to worry about partitions boundaries. So, if you find yourself in need for storage you can downsize the home partition and grow the root.
That said, I have debian/i3 INSTALLED ON A 16GB USB with a couple of docker containers and vscodium and it is around 10/14gb usage.
OP needs a proper router that make use of their 3g fiber which will be mostly newer and powerfull and has better wifi. That should be their 1st priority.
Edit: You don’t need a 2.5gb ethernet (or better for futur proofing) for every client, but that NAS and Hypervisor could use that bandwith so consider yor options while you are at it.
Sounds like “The witcher 3” world will be a good fit for your daughter curiosity, the guest line however is too dark for her age.
