as the other commenter said, but worth echoing:

• is it suddenly using npm to install/run something? (iirc this was the attack vector for most packages that were infected)
• suddenly added some weird extra wget/curl/whatever to packaging methods to fetch something weird?
• are the package’s sources (eg. github urls) legit?

Generally you should be aware of who’se software you’re installing -> check if it’s downloading the stuff from right place, and nothing extra. The PKGBUILD changes in the aur website are pretty good indicator if something has changed and how.

edit: npm itself, or it’s usage isn’t bad - but it is quite suspicious if the AUR package isn’t for some webapp or so.

You’re obviously using a wrong distro. Beatings will continue as planned.

I’ve ordered quite a bit from keygem (https://keygem.com/) and oblotzky (https://oblotzky.industries/), and a little from candykeys (apparently dead now). They tend to have mostly groupbuy sets, so full set availability can be rough after the runs.

https://www.gmk.net/shop/ / https://www.gmk.net/shop/en/keycaps/ has sets ready to go, while they’re apparently pretty good quality, they do look a bit plain (imo) - but each to their own!

some more mainstream sets can be found from eg. maxgaming (see their country/region specific sites). At least over here (Finland) some smaller computer stuff stores sell keycap sets (glorious, ducky… etc), like jimms.fi - but I’m fairly certain those are awailable pretty much everywhere.

oh, thanks random internet stranger, have a point!

I did do a cursory search for firewatch wallpapers too, but the darkmode term seems to be the key here. Anyhoo, thanks!

edit: though, the site has it in fairly low res, all the download options are super compressed and just (badly) upscaled. But gonna look around if I can find a better version

digging the vibe.

can you share the wallpaper, please? :)

“I use minecraft, btw” was in the comments of the demo video. Had a giggle.

For novelty I do install msedit, because nostalgia is rose tinted. But for realsies it’s vim, not because I’m good at using it, but I’m familiar enough.

Just a hunch, but it’s not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

find / -type f -name windows

as root? see where it nests?

it’ll probably be back running once you reboot. better find out where on your storage it is, why is it starting and where did it come from.

you know what you need to do, start drawing.

So I keep hearing. Here’s hoping it ends up being the case.

Switched entirely over to linux mid-cyberpunk playthrough and the game just about barely holds 60 fps in places where it used to be in the 90’s on Windows. :P

This driver had the vk heap descriptor -thingydoods? does DXVK or VKD3D have those implemented yet?

I don’t know, I don’t play cod. See the links from previous replies for that.

as for should you get linux, only you can answer that once you’ve done the research

The daw/music software? Just wine. used wine to install the app & vst plugins, then just using the “start menu” shortcut for the app to run it. I did have to use winetricks to install dxvk on the prefix (without it, some plugin ui’s did not work properly), but after that it works fine.

as for “does it run good” - well enough for me. Some of the guitar/bass amps and instruments I use seem to use noticeably more cpu than on windows

yep, this.

basically, games that need some extra dll file to get mods running, it’s generally just adding WINEDLLOVERRIDES=“nameofthedll=n,b” as env var for the game and off to modded adventures it is.

I haven’t tested this, but fairly sure you could just install vortex, mo2 or whatever other modmanager to same prefix as where the game is.

Depends really on the games and software you require.

For games, check:

• https://www.protondb.com/ - people post their experiences with games if they work or not.
• https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - lists of anticheat enabled games which work or not.
• https://appdb.winehq.org/ - wine’s appdb has games and general applications listed, with some info on how they work or not. Some info is absolutely ancient at this point.

In general, indies and singleplayer games generally work fine. Battlefield/Fortnite/etc hugely popular multiplayer stuff with kernel-level anticheats generally doesn’t.

I’ve only ever set up few printers to work on linux, and they’ve been bigger office printers. And they’ve all worked with minimal effort. Absolutely no idea about home printers.

edit: as for windows software support, generally win-apps run on wine. Some really well, some with issues, and then some just dont. Afaik eg. ancient versions of Photoshop run, more recent ones don’t.

I run a windows version of a music software (renoise) because my effects/instruments have only windows versions. It works, but performance isn’t quite as good as it was on actual windows.

could have something to do with the odd, and massive, influx of new win10 users?

doesn’t either of the loopback devices provide desktop audio?
