This applies only if you update or reinstall. I stopped updating the whole system (permanently), except for a few independent programs, so I won’t have to do anything. :)

Is that as original as Windows 10’s desktop which was actually a glorified Plasma 5? 🤭

If Firefox is using GTK (GTK3 to be precise) to decorate the window, even in KDE, that might be some good news for him, altough I could be wrong bc I’ve never used Plasma for this long (30 days tops, long ago) to get to the point of wanting to change the title bar of anything. In Cinnamon (6.4.7) I’m using an old workaround for cases like this. It’s still somewhat maintained. I can’t guarantee it will work with Plasma but it doesn’t hurt to try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-nocsd-git After installation, open (or create) ~/.XSession and put these two lines in it: export GTK_CSD=0 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgtk3-nocsd.so.0 and reboot.

This is how I’ve been replacing GEdit’s CSD with a normal title bar, as well as Firefox’s:

I wrote AUR earlier. Considering your answer, you don’t know what AUR is, I take it. “Arch User Repository”. I downloaded the packages from there and extracted their contents. One is binaries, the other package is game data (files, textures, etc).

Oh, I understand now. I checked PKGBUILD and it seems the path is… let’s call it “hardcoded” because executables are probably looking for libraries in that specific path - /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/share and so on and that’s why it’s failing to start, if it’s not on the root partition. I’m not an expert in software developing but this smells like a bad linux port to me, bc properly made programs have quite different paths, like this: $HOME, $PATH and so on, nothing definitive like with this game.

By “properly made programs” I mean programs that will run just fine, even if I unpack their /usr in my secondary storage - /B/123/package-name/usr.

There’s nothing to recreate. Read what Ventoy is.

If I manually “install” the game somewhere (and by that I mean manually unpack the two zst packages from AUR’s PKBUILD download sources), it refuses to start and returns a whole bunch of erors in terminal. If I let trizen decide where to install it - it starts OK. I know the game isn’t large and I can keep it on the root partition, but it’s about principles, not about size. How can I trust something that FORCES ME to do this, instead of that? Needless to say which corporation such a behavior reminds me of.

Aaaand you can’t install it elsewhere outside the root partition… It has to be on / , otherwise it won’t start. “Perfect”… I don’t like putting any games on the root partition, so… moving on to other FOSS games. It would have been great if everything were put together in one dir, similar to discord’s way: /opt/Discord and that’s it. With such a path you can symlink Discord to wherever you want. But you can’t do that with this game.

This was Endeavor OS for me last night on the laptop:

cp /etc/resolv.conf /tmp/calamares-root-krk32ou8/etc/ </i> finished with exit code 1.

I’m never wasting my time with that thing ever again. I don’t like Mint but at least it installs without stupid errors.

These sound like Spyware problems, not Firefox. I’m using FF for years on Linux and the browser has never been better and faster. Not a single of these problems!

I’m so happy it will be just for Spyware 11 and won’t ruin the look I’ve made for my Firefox on Linux! If they ever add this thing to the Linux version of FF, l’ll have to freeze it to the current version forever.

Nope. It’s just lewd without the NSFW part. And if you don’t understand the simple pseudocode, that’s your problem, not mine. Everyone else who has seen this meme understood it from the first look. Which speaks badly about your understanding capabilities.

Hahaha, this reminds me of a meme about a dude who bought this very expensive luxurious car but he was selling it because he couldn’t find a way to get in bc the car didn’t have any doors or handles.

I’m using Copilot to help with bash scripting when I get stuck with the script. I’m aware they’ll be able to see all of my scripts but: • I’m willing to share all of my scripts with anyone who wants them, so I’m OK with it, if MS can see them. They’re all FOSS literally and figuratively. • Copilot is incredibly helpful with scripts, much more helpful than the 10 year old kid named ChatGPT. When I ask Copilot to explain a certain part of the script, it explains it in an understandable way, unlike quite a few other AIs.

Fortunately for me I don’t use any crutches like Lutris to play games on linux, so I won’t have to visit their server.

There’s an easy way to get rid of the ads throug the router settings, but I for one have no intention of sharing that secret with the Crapindows users. :D

Gamivo and Kinguin, mostly. Also mediafire. Mediafire keeps saying “this form has been idle for too long”. All the browsers that have some kind of track blocking have this problem with these sites, regardless of the engine. Only Chrome and Chromium don’t have that feature and I have absolutely no problems to login to my profile.

Sounds… disappointing, really. While the feature of track blocking sounds appealing at first, that feature is the main reason I abandoned Firefox (after 15 years of using it) and all FF-like browsers that have it. More and more websites stop functioning properly with tracking blocked and I can’t login to my profile. With these particular sites I have nothing to worry about tracking but unfortunately even with disabled tracking protection, they still refuse to let me log in. It’s unlikely that the websites would remove the tracking functions, so until the developers of FF and FF-like browsers find a way to circumvent this problem with logging in, I don’t see a reason for me or anyone else to use such a browser.
