And thus the year of Linux adoption has been pushed back another 4 decades.

Ahh so it’s still never been confirmed then. The Aether2x event and the Reddit third-party event happened relatively close together, so I never got closure.
Sad that the emulation community has such a prevalent amount of vocal people who go around expectantly harassing developers. Such a large part of the community seems so nice and wholesome, but there is a significant portion that is also extremely vile and consistently ruins it for the rest of us.
Edit: Oh, and thank you for responding.
Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.
If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.
You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.
That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.
I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.
Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.
Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache
Iirc - Duckstation dev is the same one who did Aether2x right?
Which inherently makes it so that specific demographics of people will never be able to use it.
There’s a lot of good suggestions here.
As someone who uses Linux but doesn’t love it, be prepared to restart from scratch a lot. Keep the OS on a blank drive and just point the OS to your storage drives once it’s up and running.
Otherwise you are going to be losing data every time you break something in the OS, and that is really no fun.
averyminya@beehaw.orgto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?14·9 months agoCreate a script to send important data records (if you need that for taxes or inventory data etc) as a nightly routine, that way you have a consistent database for any important records.
Then just create a restore point. If it breaks in 2 weeks, then you just relaunch it and know that it’s going to kill itself in 2 weeks. A simple restart to that restore point solves everything.
Sounds 100% functional to me!
Storyboarder is definitely great, although I wouldn’t say it’s geared towards 2D animation. You could use it like a flipbook, but I think it’s more suited towards Storyboard planning.
There’s 2 modes, 2D sketching and 3D modeled posing, the latter of which is far, far faster to plot out scenes than hand drawing each one. Again, that doesn’t mean you couldn’t use it for 2D, just that it’s not inherently designed for that process. Still, it’s a great program that lets you add voiceovers, has multiple text boxes for details, and has a pretty decent selection of art tools.
2 days ago was Friday, it’s likely they don’t work the weekends.

averyminya@beehaw.orgto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Can anyone recommend an application for audio recording with a special effect?1·9 months agoSeconding reafir, or really any audio silencing plugin.
Record silence for 5 - 8 seconds, turn on FX, set to subtract and then playback the silence with the checkbox.
You’ll see the frequency range it takes up. In some cases this can affect your source audio, for example if the clicking sound is in the same range as a higher pitched humans voice, they may become warbled or inaudible.
This can be done to take out car whooshing/air to some extent, and general background hums from line input or gain noise or fans.

I like TailsOS, which is an amnesiac system that runs entirely in RAM and boots from a USB hard drive. The goal for the operating system is to be a safe operating system for people who are in compromising situations - from international reporters to survivors of domestic abuse, it is a way to highly reduce your ability to be tracked.
The downsides of amnesiac systems are obvious - without enabling the setting for permanent storage, effectively everything you do on the OS is lost every time. And if you do enable persistent memory, well, that’s not exactly entirely safe if you are caught out.
What I like the OS for though is as someone who is not compromised or in a situation where I need these privacies (despite appreciating them), my usage of it makes it safer for others who are using it (since internet is through Tor), and I feel more comfortable using computers in the wild when needed, since I’m not logging in on the public operating system that will be used by everybody else.
Many people give these projects flack or diminish their values as a “daily driver”, but I think often times forget the important aspects of them. They may not be a daily driver for you or I by nature of our needs, but they are certainly important daily drivers for others. In addition to that, supporting a project that helps people in compromised situations and becoming another node to bounce off of (again, Tor, not inherent to the usage of this OS) is a nice additional benefit.
Tl;DR amnesiac operating systems because they’re simple, straightforward, and make you feel more like whitehat hackerman when you’ve done nothing at all.
It’s a phone service and business communications. I have to use it for work
You people are paying for Windows licenses?
Well now you can plug your Switch into your switch for Ethernet!
