oh I thought it showed a random foss software. I was thinking I will just stick with osalt and portable apps. I was watchig the eclipse and its a wierd hour so its not giving anything for me looking at it now.

random???

I actually would really prefer for companies to just provide us virtual machines and I can connect to vpn and then to the work hosts. This way I can use my own setup.

If you have your older maching around I recomend putting linux on it. You will see how fast it runs on the old hardware and pretty soon you will not be ablet to wait get it on the new hardware.

So I don’t really have experience with the gaming aspect as I pretty much get what I want from a steamdeck. I think its likely you would want to go with one of those (a gaming setup someone else suggests) or dual boot to have your gaming system and your doing other things setup. Just in case I will mention the one I use called zorin. It is based on ubuntu with gnome and its main claim to fame is its an out of the box distro that tries to emulate windows (other systems to but the paid for version unlocks that. its default is a general windows type experience). Out of the box means it has foss office, video file viewing, audio file listening, image file viewer, browser of course, rdp client, mail client, calendar, contacts, also image,video,audio file creation and editing, optical disk copier/image creator, wine with play on linux so that you can right click a windows executable and run it and such. It does non free software things like nvidia drivers right off the bat. Its great for an install and get going right away type of thing. Its always a bit out of date because its emphasis is stable, just works, get going type of thing. I have a few complaints. Mainly it does not have the windows key, right arrow thing to half screen by default. It could be a stability thing that they don’t want to mess with the compiz or whatnot. Then the other thing is I find the software gui interface it have an aweful search for getting more software so either just use apt at the command line or download the .deb installation file which things like various browsers have as a linux option for download and then its really just like adding one to windows or mac. download and run the installation.

I have been trying to actually do something like this using portable virtual box on a usb along with appimages.

long ago redhat had a way of outputing a kickstart file to use to instal on other machines and suse had something similar. no idea what they use for that now though.

oh. I will have to look into it as although I have not added it much of what zorin does is look in feel outside of added packages as its an out of the box distro.

ahh ok I see it now. my control f was not working because it was hardware video acceleration although I swear I just did acceleration and did not seem to find it but I may just have lost the context while looking at the parts. Its clicking now today with the section and trying the configs. thank you I will try them.

no but I use some addons but the only ones I can think of which might effect the top is foxytabs and powertabs. They don’t really change visuals though more oganization.

The only thing I see with hardware acceleration is starting in safe mode. Am I missing something?

Oh. I definately saw it twice per day. That is what got me to post something and find out if other folks see it. Never have it on any other application though. Only firefox and only on linux or maybe specifically gnome but I can’t be sure.

actually that sounds way worse. I never have to close it out and I can always get to it. It just sorta looses its fullscreenness while in fullscreen. Its very odd.

This is a good example. I just came to say looking at the doc is going to take over 5 mins.

well maybe if he would but like at least whatever he feels like doing can possibly provide value

I mean as long as a license is open source this is sorta a good thing though. If it has enough merit folks will be bound to fork it.

I mean at least initially with things like nightmare host (im making a joke im not sure if dreamhost is still around) you did not need to mess with the mx records if you just went with their built in. We definately had some issues with email getting marked spam or blocked but admitadely that could have been from the services source servers having to much spam coming from it.

yeah but so thats the thing. that service still is the one running your email and its likely you are going to get more issues with it being blocked just from being an little used domain. unless you run your own server and deal with the mx records and such.

My problem is the whole change of address thing. Unfortunately google had perfect timing when they offered a decent amount of storage. It was early enough that changing email was no big deal and late enough that soon it would be. I very much don’t like this because if google like just went dark all of a sudden it would be a bad day. Yeah I know its unlikely to the xtreme but still. I know privacy people do not like this idea but I really would like the government to run an email where all citizens are guaranteed one. To me this would make it much easier to have an official one and other emails. I don’t get why folks are ok with corporations doing it and trust that they will use safeguards but don’t trust the government would. The US postal service is a good example. Laws were well made to protect mail to the point where one way of safeguarding things from police searches was to put it in a stamped envelope. Man I wish our current society and government would be doing things like that again.

I loved when it was redesigned for lcd’s. move the screen anywhere you want.
