She uses arch btw

Hannah Montana Linux. Unironically.

I’m not familiar with all of them, but I know several of them are tools. Isn’t it in apple’s best interest to open source the tools if people use and improve them, and subsequently it means they get more money from the app store? And if these are the only things they open source, they still have a tight fist on the vast majority of their code base.

While on the subject of apple and FOSS. They may open source some tools, but do they give back to other projects? I.e. does apple push upstream? Substantially less than google and ms. And I would go so far to say almost never.

I’ve enjoyed Proton for several years, except there ia no Linux desktop client. I intend to test installing the client in a virtual machine running windows, and then use shared folders.

Neo launcher does that

Agreed. Yet to find a true replacement

What is it you’d like to do? You might be able to do it with ssh

Laptops often have open slots for hard drives. With his permission open the back and see if he has one. Bonus points for replacing his win10 hd with a 1tb. He’d probably appreciate it enough to give Linux another go

Not all BIOS look the same. Not all computers have the same button to push to enter the BIOS

If you want minimal maintence avoid window managers and go for desktop environments. Installing KDe or Gnome you shouldn’t have any problems

It really kicks the llama’s ass

Was going to (quasi) meme post man bash, but this was much better advice

Those answers were given in good faith under the presumption that they would be read and used by another person. Not used to train something to remove the interactions which motivated the answer in the first place.

On arch I would reinstall pipewire. Idk if there’s an apt equivalent

Hopefully spamming 0 or constantly yelling operator will still get you one of the very few people that still work there

Someone else’s computer. Like a library

This is what you’d look for on arch https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU_PRO

Can you ls that directory to see if it is there? If not there are proprietary pro drivers you can install

I run fresh rss in a docker container on linode which unfortunately is no longer open souce, but I’m at ease over privacy given it would be relatively difficult to extract my information

Try putting this under launch options:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%

You’ll need to check from to terminal to see if it is there or if it is something similar
