@Teknevra Sounds like somebody’s found em a project to work on. 😆

@ackthxbye Maybe a bit further than you wanna go, but I can confirm that a keyboard running kmk works perfectly fine with games under wine. If you have a keyboard/mouse that’s able to be installed with CircuitPython, you’ll have the ability to assign more macros than you can count.

@merompetehla If you’re not running sid, do not look for install instructions on the sid page. If you’re on 12.6, that’s Bookworm (current stable name), look there for help with 12 stuff.

Best way to use the current #yt-dlp is to uninstall the one from the repo, and grab the current release from the github page and drop it in $PATH somewhere.

@petsoi Beautifully written perspective; the KDE Activities bit of that was my favorite! Multiple workspaces on a single monitor is probably one of my most advocated features. I’m telling someone about it at least once a week, even if it’s just showin em how to use the cut-down one on their windows machine.

@lemmyreader @cafuneandchill PostmarketOS in chroot in termux in waydroid on PostmarketOS 🤘

@lemmyreader @electricprism There is someone who managed to convert a proot-distro version of #alpine into a #pmos one. It’s not as great as it may sound though.

@LukeSky #lutris is good for more’n just games 😉

@7_Stipend_Jackal Not really sure what you mean by “like Localshare”. Is that a specific piece of software, or do you just mean sharing files between two devices on a local network via whatever protocol?

I’ve played around with croc a while back just to test, seems okay.

@Lem453 Everything on that page refers to configuration problems. Most of them inferring a misunderstanding (or complete disregard) of the requirements that need to be implemented prior to configuring suspend-to-disk in order for it to work properly. Both the gentoo, and arch wikis have very thorough instructions on how to successfully incorporate this feature.

@drwho Whatcha mean by “not a sure thing”? Is there some issue with specific hardware, or configuration?

@JRepin Am I the only idiot who uses systemctl hibernate with a proper swap partition? Works perfect every time I’ve set it up.

@thingsiplay Nicely done, I like it!

For years, I’ve been using a similar(?), very simple script I’d banged together. I made it originally to track down a few out of control log files, and later changed it up for a general space freeing overview.
df -h $1 && du -ha "$1" |sort -hr |head -n25

@TheMonkeyLord #AntiMicroX is a good choice for mapping controllers to keyboard/mouse functions. I use it daily to control my computer from a flight-stick when I just want to lay back and watch stuff.

@krash @steeznson I always recommend #gentoo to anyone interested in learning about linux. I’d advise LFS only as a follow up to that once they have an understanding of what goes where.

@lemmyreader Looks quite snazzy!

@nyan How different does different get than very unsame? 😜

@Successful_Try543 Fair point, yes! …but I did recommend it as a “truly different” choice. 😉

@TimeSquirrel @nicknonya Been runnin basically the same setup for the better part of ~20 years. That’s not gonna stop me from playin with stuff I don’t know or like though.

@nicknonya If it truly is “different” you want, take a look at stuff like Tiny Core Linux, MenuetOS, or ReactOS. If you want a bit more milder different, may go with a BSD/UNIX. There’s loads of really weird stuff out there if you dig around a bit. Or just plunder DistroWatch for somethin that strikes you. Who knows, you may just find a new comfortable on yer journey. 😁

@flork Granted it’s listed in a mimeapps.list file, you should easily be able to pull the program name out of there by querying against the file in question’s mimetype.

And while “can’t be easily done” may be generally true, don’t call it quits; some file managers may offer less “not easy” than others. Don’t end your customization exploration because the file manager you currently use can’t do what you want, try fiddlin round with some others. The process for each file manager is going to be different, and getting the name of the program for any filetype is also going to differ depending on the syntax required for altering each different file manager.
