But wouldn’t a case do exactly what you want? It would make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.

If he’s being a putin stooge because it’s good for his business, he’s still being a putin stooge.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Former distrohoppers, where did you settle down?
12·3 years agoA mixture of NixOS and Debian, depending on the machine. NixOS is trivial to maintain and to keep predictable and tidy. When its weirdness is a problem, Debian is my answer. It doesn’t get more normal than Debian.

Android@lemdro.id•This Review is Going to Make Me Very Unpopular [Fairphone 5]
82·3 years agoHe’s certainly popular but not necessarily liked.
It doesn’t use the system libraries, unless the system in question is NixOS. It still provides its own dependencies. Arguably in a more elegant and less wasteful manner, but they are still distinct from the ones used by the rest of the system.
EDIT: typo
In terms of the memory usage, it’s a reasonable approach these days. It gets hairy when we consider security vulnerabilities. It’s far easier to patch one system-wide shared library than to hunt down every single application still bundling a vulnerable version.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Passive OCR and other 'AI' tools on the Linux desktop
15·3 years agoYou can already use Tesseract to run OCR on any image. It’s a matter of tying it together with a screenshot tool with cropping capabilities and it should be very easy to use.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Countries that spend the most and least time on their screens
751·3 years agoWell, that’s certainly a color scheme.
Oh, they actually do name it so! https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-virtual-memory-size-windows-10
I was under impression Linux uses the term swap partition (or swap file if it’s in a file which is much less common) while Windows calls them either swap files or paging files. Looks like you’re right and Windows uses these terms interchangeably.
Just for the sake of correctness: phones almost definitely do have virtual memory, that’s how any modern memory allocation works. You probably meant swap files/partitions.
What a time to be alive! We have gaming phones but not a single decent mobile game that’s not just a port from PC.
did people forgot how to customize their android?
Sadly yes. It’s especially evident to me whenever LineageOS is mentioned as THE way to install a non-standard OS. Not that long ago there were dozens of options for each device and Cyanogenmod (the grandpa of LineageOS) was just one of them, albeit a quite large one.
There is no “best WM”, only “best WM for you”. If you’re deep enough into this rabbit hole to install an alternative WM, at this point you’re the best judge of what’s the best, really.
I wouldn’t get a case for the sake of protection but I’m more than happy with my Dbrand Kill Switch case due to its added usability. The kickstand is a must for me when placing a powered on Steam Deck on soft items such as pillows not to block the air vents. Being able to put the cover on and leave Steam Deck standing upright saves unreal amount of space on my desk compared to how it was before. If you’d rather go with something slimmer, there is also Deckmate.

Linux@lemmy.ml•When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**
2·3 years agoMaybe you’re right, the jump from pure GUI to the Windows CLI is probably a much bigger paradigm shift than between these two CLIs. I was mostly worried about OP getting discouraged from ever dabbling in CLI due to the Windows one being terrible.

Linux@lemmy.ml•When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**
2·3 years agoThe Windows command line is nothing like the Linux one. It’s much less pleasant to use too.

Technology@beehaw.org•Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network
7·3 years agoWell, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don’t need to be treated with hostility.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Emudeck and other Emulators on the Steam Deck
2·3 years agoOh, that’s amazing to hear! I prefer the design of RetroDECK over Emudeck a lot, so I’m more than happy to migrate back then.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•[Discussion] Emudeck and other Emulators on the Steam Deck
7·3 years agoFrom my experience Retrodeck tends to lose the config files a lot during updates. So far I’m yet to experience that with Emudeck.
EDIT: Apparently it was a bug and it’s been fixed almost a year ago, see the dev reply below. Don’t let my comment discourage you from choosing RetroDECK!
Looks like a boring update but being boring is kinda the thing I appreciate in GNOME. It’s all about expectations.
