I agree about that today, but it wasn’t always so easy to install linux for noobs as it is now.
It may be easy to forget, but Ubuntu was doing “easy jnstall” better than moat linux distros for a long time. I bet there are a lot of non-programmer-linux-daily-driver folks out there that got started on ubuntu. I’m one of them.
Bazzite Ich bin auch da und ich bin auch nicht so der Typ der sich so gut auskennt wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe.
Holy shit my keyboard knows me well. Lol.
That’s a valid criticism.
On the other side: Pay for a year at once and get 3600 searches/year. The rollover also doesn’t happen, but the effect is drastically reduced. Also get a discount overall.
I’m not saying that kagi is perfect, but fuck google sideways. Eat the rich. Pay for the product or you are the product.
Haha, I wouldn’t expect anything less. But I don’t need to install the plugin…well…maybe I’ll just try it out for a few…danmit.
How about obsidian.md? It’s based on markdown, so edit mode has lots of keybindings, and there are all sorts of javascript plugins to add functionality.
In addition to rhe other advice, I’d add what helped me the most: install arch from scratch.
Use an older PC you have lying around, or just a VM. Use the installation guide on the arch wiki (or a video on feetube if you prefer to listen to a human explain stuff) and just learn as you go.
Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.
Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real “duct-tape” part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept “updating” the game and breaking my solution.
This certainly isn’t of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.
Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:
If any one of those step was left out, it didn’t work. I’m no linux expert, so I didn’t have the skills to actuality find the real problem.
Update: I turned off steam overlay, and set the in-game video setting from borderless full screen to just full screen, and that did it!
So much frustration, and such an easy fix. Ugh. But at least it’s working now. Thanks again.
I haven’t seen any hardware issues, but perhaps I’m just ignorant. I’m pretty busy with work and family generally, so I seldom dig into troubleshooting recently. I’m not even sure I’d know how to start with hardware diagnostics on an atomic distro (but that should be easy enough to find in the documentation).
I’ll try turning off steam overlay, thanks for the tip!
Thanks! I’m taking the advice of some other commenters about adding what I need without installing Gnome, which at the end of the day works apparently cause more problems that it solved.
Thank you for the detailed answer!
Based on all the answers I’ve recieved, I see that’s it’s probably best that I leave the DE alone. At the end of the day, I just need to make sure that I have the correct dependencies for the app in question. Installing the entirety of Gnome was really just my lazy fix idea.
Thanks! Just what I needed. The idea to install an entire DE was my lazy fix idea, but now I’m learning more about how atomic distros work, and finally using the terminal in bazzite! It is such a convenient distro, but it also felt wierd to never open the terminal.
Thanks! This sounds like the best way to do things.
I really appreciate the help. I’m going to spend some time learning about this, and your suggestion is where I’ll start.
I was trying so hard to get GTP4ALL to work inside of obsidian because it has this localdocs feature, where you can feed it documents and it integrates them into itself. I want the model to be aware of the whole vault, and also generate notes based on the vault contents, constantly updating.
It looks like podman desktop + chatGPG obsidian plugin is the way to go through, I’m playing around with it and it looks promising.
