  • How to log off of LIftoff?

    Jump

  • I am using liftoff on arch linux desktop and I could not find anything that allowed me to logoff. I had to go into the hidden files and find the configuration folder and delete it, essentially also wiping out all my preferences.

  • Baldur's Gate 3?

    Jump

  • I played it using Lutris. I think I had to use winetricks to install .net and after that it ran flawlessly. Do a search on the net. I think the same can be done for Steam using Protontricks. It is such a cool game and if BG3 is anything like it, I am stoked.

  • KDE eyecandy, oh yeah. Nice.

  • Using proton for pirated games on linux?

    Jump

  • Firstly, see if there is a gog version. GOG versions are always easier to install imo. I use 1337x to find the games, or any other seeder will do. Download your pirated game and either use wine locally, or for an easier way, I love LUTRIS! Search in Lutris to see if there is a 'runner' for your game. This makes installing easier because it runs a script that installs all the windows components need for that game. It it usually ask for your pirated game's .exe file at some point to install. Done, ready to go.

    If you can't find a runner for your game, I usually find a runner with a more recent, heavy 3D gammer game and use it instead. For whatever reason, Star Wars Jedi Fallen runner seems to work with a lot of games.

    Also, make sure you are using Wine-staging and all the i386 files. Here is a guide to help you install.

  • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Web-dl dropped

    Jump

  • Not your fault and sorry if it came across as accusatory. Oddly it did play on my computer using VLC. I just wonder if they encoded a bit differently than RARBG?

    No. I had no issues with RARBG x265 releases. This is a first.

    Jump

  • Setup the big screen for viewing tonight and it was a bust. This version would not play on either my projector or the Firestick using VLC player, normally they play all my x265 HEVC, and more. It was a bust. I will have to find another rip. I am not sold on INFINITY, unfortunately.

  • Why do people hate Manjaro and how to replicate Manjaro sway in arch or arco?

    Jump

  • Yes, stick with Arch. Arch is not the issue if installed without the holding chambers Manjaro puts in place. Arch has a good installer on its own, but if you need a bit more, distros like EndeavourOS, Calam-Arch-Installer, ALCI (Arch Linux Calamares Installer,) and even Garuda are all fine options.

  • Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently)

    Jump

  • 'Classic canonical corporate move'...there I fixed it for you.

  • Stable Linux distro with up to date packages

    Jump

  • Red Hat is a corporation, putting dollars first. Not to mention Fedora is now starting to 'trample on user's privacy with telemetry integration.'

    Some are making the case that Fedora's new telemetry integration isn't like the bad telemetry like Google and others, it is 'anonymised.' Every corporation says this before they remove the username from the data collected and keep the unique user id. I don't trust Red Hat..and now with this latest reveal, Fedora either. And privacy is all about trust.

  • What Torrenting program do you use?

    Jump

  • Ktorrent...on arch linux, btw. Support the KDE desktop! (echoes)

  • Great joke

    Jump

  • LOL, kind of a fresh take on an old meme joke. Love it.

  • Why do people hate Manjaro and how to replicate Manjaro sway in arch or arco?

    Jump

  • This....all of it. I started with Arch using Manjaro, like so many do. There was a mass exodus that exploded, and the worst lot remained on the dev team. Beyond that, as you stated, they convice their users that holding back packages is for their benefit, when in reality, your system becomes unstable at times as a result, especially becoming out of sync with AUR. It is still one of the most popular Arch distros, and ...well..I feel sorry for their uninformed users who believe it is a stable choice.

    GrapheneOS is amazing!!

    Jump

  • You can find that info on their website.

    GrapheneOS has two officially supported installation methods. You can either use the WebUSB-based installer recommended for most users or the command-line installation guide aimed at more technical users.

  • Wine 8.12 brings more Wayland work and performance improvements

    Jump

  • Amen, to that!!

  • YSK: Garuda Lunux default browser (FireDragon) contains problematic extensions

    Jump

  • LOL, we can all come off sounding a little assholish, don't worry about it. You made sound points. The OP came off sounding a bugle of fear without doing any research, or backing up any of their concerns. You stepped up.

  • YSK: Garuda Lunux default browser (FireDragon) contains problematic extensions

    Jump

  • TLDR being there is no reason to look beyond Fedora...

    This whole privacy issue is about trust. And clearly your privacy recommendations are biased. For example, you seem to put all your trust in Fedora, a corporation owned by Red Hat...OWNED. A distro starting to 'trample on user's privacy with telemetry integration.'

    Now you might say that telemetry isn't like the others, it is "anonymised." Except that is what corporations always say before they remove the username from the data collected and keep the unique user id. Again, it is about who you trust, and usually corporations are working and focused on the dollar, not the user.

    I encourage anyone to look at other privacy recommendation sites, and form your own conclusions.

  • How do you overcome the fears of using your home IP to join a private tracker?

    Jump

  • Same. I run a VPN 24/7. I always wear my seatbelt! 😉

  • YSK: Garuda Lunux default browser (FireDragon) contains problematic extensions

    Jump

  • I would not recommend this guide. It only recommends rolling releases, so basically Arch. I use Arch btw, Garuda. However, it then goes on to say that only moderate or advanced users should use Arch. It also doesn't recommend Debian or any debian based distros. I find this funny as many corporate servers use Debian, and I don't really see any huge security issues since the 90's waving red flags of warnings and issues. By following this guide, it really leaves no option for beginner linux enthusiasts. I (we) recommend not folloing this guide as it reads like privacy paranoia propaganda piece.

  • Well said.

  • Curious, have you addressed this with the Garuda team?
