Hi! I’m an anime artist!
At this point, the only thing keeping me back is I have a bunch of files made in Clip Studio Paint that I can’t open in linux, but I think I might be able to run CSP in a VM, if needs be. Not really anything gaming related.
Now just to find time to do it lol
Maybe its finally time to get rid of my dual boot. I haven’t used the windows side in like half a year…
cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Grilled Cheese" VERSION="Cheddar" VERSION_CODENAME="A yummy snack for myself"
lmao never thought i’d see 🅱️in 🅱️enrose here
Device attestation is pretty annoying fr. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse to get it to work on a Custom ROM, whether its on the devs of the ROM, or whoever maintains the magisk modules if you’re rooted. I do hope things change about this
I’ve got Btrfs on my desktop for the OS drive cuz that was what Fedora recommended when I was installing it. It took a bit of effort to get snapshots working properly, but other than that, I’ve had no issues with it at all over the past year. I’ve got an exFAT drive and an NTFS drive in there that are kind of leftovers from using Windows. I’ve been thinking about reformatting the exFAT drive to ext4 or something, since all it really does is store games, and having the ability to symlink to it would be nice.
I’ve got a TrueNAS machine as well and that uses ZFS for pretty much everything.
Just another thing to consider with exFAT is that it doesn’t support having symlinks written on it. (for example, if your exFAT drive is located at /mnt/exfat, doing ln -s ~/Documents/cool-document.txt /mnt/exfat/ will fail) Idk if that’s a problem for your use case, but just so you’re aware.
I do have a drive that is formatted with exFAT that I made with the intention of having it be readable by both Linux and Windows, but I ended up not really using windows ever lmao. It should be fine if you’re just using it to store media
Man i was literally looking into laser cutters like 2 days ago and saw that Lightburn supported Linux. Guess that was short lived.
I’ve got a 7800XT now and I moved from a 1070 and I’ve been happy with it overall. I’m on Fedora and I bought the 7800 kinda close to launch, so I went through some issues that seem to have been solved by now. Nothing that really made me go “gee I wish I hadn’t switched”.
I don’t do anything related to streaming, or machine learning, so I can’t really speak to it’s ability with those, but gaming has been stable, and, aside from a now solved problem with rocm, it works fine with Blender cycles (at least on Fedora 40). Davinci Resolve has worked fine too. On launch, there wasn’t VAAPI support for AV1, but that works just fine for me now. (VAAPI is the open source interface for GPU video acceleration).
Currently, I’d say the experience is perfectly fine.
Bro $10 and its not even real money??? You can’t buy anything for $10 on Uber Eats even if the coupon worked.
true true. If the general business pressures are not conducive to proper software release practices, no amount of programming skill can help them.
they seem extremely competent at writing bad software
mom said its my turn on the compooter so i can play video gabes
the bit about the experimental Hybrid MP4 is interesting. By fault-tolerant, I’m guessing they mean that if OBS crashes mid recording, your file isn’t just corrupted like it currently is with MP4 recording. Currently, MKV doesn’t have this problem, so thats the container I usually record in.
Good Luck
Maybe not be exactly what you’re looking for, but Logseq has a daily note-taking function. When you open it for the first time of the day, it shows you a blank journal with the current date as the header and you can put whatever you want in it. It has a search function that can search through all the notes you’ve made for specific text. It saves each day as a separate markdown file and you can sync these to your phone or other devices with Syncthing, a cloud service like Google Drive, or with git if you host something like Forgejo.
The only thing about Logseq is that it doesn’t use the standard syntax for Markdown checkboxes. Instead, it has it’s own Todo syntax, which is perfectly human readable without Logseq, but loses out of some convenience if you were to migrate to something else.
Ya Quake-style terminals are super convenient!
If anyone’s interested and using KDE, there’s Yakuake, which is also a Quake-style terminal that fits in nicely with that environment
There’s one thing I forgot to consider in my original reply and I’m sorry for that. With TrueNAS you’d probably have to copy your data off of the existing drives to somewhere else because they will have to be reformatted to create a ZFS pool. I don’t know if that is practical for you, so please don’t feel like the following is something you must do or anything.
I think you’re doing great. Sorry for the late reply. To answer your questions:
In terms of comprehension, yeah I think you’ve got it. I think a NAS system would handle your caching idea for you, if I’m understanding you correctly. Having a good file sharing setup over LAN, whether its using NFS, or Samba would allow you to mount a folder from your Desktop on your Laptop and access them.
For files that you want to have access to when not on your home network, you could set up a folder that Syncthing tracks on your Desktop, sync that with your Laptop, and then have access to them that way.
If anything, I havent really touched those files in a while, so I probably won’t need anything from them. I think I got most of the files I regularly used converted to something Kirta can read before I switched. Thanks!
