there was no easy way to do it on a reasonably sized machine.

Why? What is the issue?

+1. Made the switch when mullvad lost port forwarding. Works quite well with Gluetun

You might have missed a word in the title. They’re looking for single player.

-Sy is recommended against. -S or -Syu, but not -Sy

That was indeed the case. I suppose the comment didn’t contribute much.

Just tired of seeing perfectly solid comments being downvoted with no reason provided 🤷

Downvote without explanation. Nice!

This has absolutely never been my experience. Many people actually say Wine is a better choice for running legacy windows games and applications.

I dislike Windows as much as the next guy, and recognize this is just a rant. However:

1. Might be more HP’s fault than Windows
2. Might be mire Zoom’s fault than Windows (though Windows audio is a gongshow)
3. Just use OpenSSH from Command Prompt or Powershell. It should be preinstalled I think but if not can be installed through Programs and Features) in Windows 10 and above.

Linux news

Installing is just following directions. It’s maintaining it after you Frankenstein the hell out of it that most new users struggle with

there is no proprietary AMD Linux driver

I mean, there is. It just isn’t recommended for most users.

FYI: If you aren’t aware, Arch has a CLI installer now that is very easy to use, should you ever want to give it a try (archinstall)

Endeavour is basically Arch with a more user friendly installer, a very small number of their own packages, and a coat of paint.

Manjaro is similar, except Manjaro runs their own repositories and delays packages for testing. This can lead to a whole bunch of issues when combined with the AUR. The team leading it has also been shown to be a little inept at times. I wouldn’t personally recommend it.

The modlog is public on lemmy

The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that’s my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server…

Advice: Look up Gluetun and dockerize your torrent/vpn setup. Makes things real simple (including moving where it is hosted, should you choose to)

TBF, that’s pretty much how mystical it is: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-clear-ram-memory-cache-buffer-and-swap-space-on-linux/

…What are you talking about?

Manjaro might be good, but you’ll have to adjust the vacuum’s clock every time you want to clean

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@piotrkulpinski@lemmy.world you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍
