Avowed Runs at 30fps on Xbox Series X and S, Obsidian Confirms in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think people give too much importance to such things.

I’m not saying 60fps isn’t nice, but it ain’t the most important thing and I feel like drawing distance or stuff like this are more distracting.

For me it’s crazy to still have racing games where shadows or trees are still appearing too late or where things are just abnormally disappearing in the rear view mirror.

If you have installed Linux on a Microsoft Surface Pro, what was your experience? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Fedora on Surface Go 1 with Surface kernel:

I never uses it only as a tablet except on holidays if I watch a movie on a hotel bed. It spends most of its time linked to a big screen, but I’m really happy with it except for how slow it is to pick up my mouse Bluetooth signal or the fact that the battery is often depleted for no reason when I turn the Surface on.

It is my only PC and is powerful enough to do everything I need it for, which is admin, web browsing and old strategy games.

Well I never tried driving through a chain link as it would just destroy your car in real life and you might get really injured if the chain is solid enough 😅

Lovely game with a great story!

The downside was that the interviews were sometimes a bit awkward and you were supposed to use non verbal cues to get clues about someone lying or not. It was a tad too ambitious I guess, as even in real life you can’t really guess.

I can understand some of the reasoning behind the fact that she’s too strong, but this applies to almost every video game character. Just try hanging on a cliff by your fingertips 😅

Also, being not so enthusiastic about the extend of the LGBTQ movement, I think Naughty Dog made a really good job in this series with really touching stories and characters who aren’t too stereotypical.

I really enjoyed Ellie ´s struggle to find her identity and her love story. It makes you think about how difficult it could be sometimes in real life.

Also in the first game there was a gay character I hadn’t noticed he was gay during the first playthrough.

It just shows you how subtle it was.

It’s a shame that we may only see a new Quantic Dream project see the light of day during the final stage of this console generation.

I’ve loved all of their games since Heavy Rain.

This game is really great and its length make it enjoyable many times.

I played 2 years ago when I was still on PlayStation 4 and it looked great.

The soundtrack is also great to listen to.

One of my favorite FOS of the last decade with the killzone and wolfenstein series.

I really loved this game and the length wasn’t a problem as I love these games you can play 2-3. times while improving the difficulty. It’s a shame it never got a sequel.

Microsoft Encourages Employee Donations to Illegal West Bank Settlements, While Barring UNRWA in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Well to be honest I’m happy and proud that I don’t have to use Microsoft or Apple products anymore except for work.

So since the post was about these companies and what they’re doing, I feel like it’s okay to say I’m not using these anymore but Linux.

I’d be doing the same in a post about the ecological impact of meat and I’d say I ain’t eating meat anymore as that’s part of the solution, the same way Linux is if you want to avoid Microsoft.

These companies are really awful and it shows how cruel you have to behave to survive in the business world.

Israel is clearly a better business partner than Palestine.

I’m happy to be on Linux now even if I know I’ll never be able to really get get out of reach of all these evil corporations because they are everywhere and in everything.

The review was short but interesting.

I feel like we (people on Lemmy) have to be more open to people taking the time to review something, even if it ain’t as good as what you could get from some professionals.

I ‘m gonna have a look at this to see if it could work with the 2tb of storage I have on my kDrive (by infomaniak) account.

I think I found a way to slowly get rid of WhatsApp (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

First of all, I know WhatsApp doesn’t belong to Google so I’m technically in the wrong community.

Still I think getting rid of Facebook is part of the same movement.

I’ve been using Threema (and Signal/SMS a little bit) for years with all my close contacts, but I can’t fully get rid of WhatsApp as I’m part of some groups where I can’t convince/force everyone to move to Threema.

Because I was still on WhatsApp, a lot of people outside of the necessary groups thought it was okay to contact me on WhatsApp.

I had looked into ways of blocking everyone except these essential groups, but I couldn’t find anything on the web.

Now I think I’ve found the solution to prevent people outside of these necessary WhatsApp groups to write to me on WhatsApp. I had never heard of it before yesterday, but you can download a WhatsApp Business app which lets you send automated answers when people are writing to you.

So I basically just created an automated answer telling people that I’m using Threema/Signal/Sms and that I won’t answer on WhatsApp. Now I don’t have to write long messages telling people to please write to me on another app (and then these people keep writing on WhatsApp of course). So now it’s make the effort or leave me alone 😅

I still plan in ditching WhatsApp for good at one point, but it seems like a good temporary solution and, since I hadn’t found anyone suggesting this idea, I thought I would share it here to help people who have the same problem.

Can't update/remove/install on Fedora because of "no disk space" (sh.itjust.works)

Hi everyone!

A few days ago, I had a problem while trying to run KDE and Gnome as DE on Fedora 40. That problem was solved (see crosspost), but now, I can't update Fedora anymore as it says "the transaction did not complete" and I can't install or uninstall anything as it says I don't have space on my disk (which is not true).

Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Edit: apparently dnf clean and dnf clean all solved the problem, so thank you everyone as I was kind of panicking when I thought about all the work involved into having my perfect install again.

Hi everyone!

Today I tried to install KDE alongside Gnome to give it a try on Fedora on something else than a virtual machine.

For a reason I can't understand, the terminal couldn't finish the installation of KDE as something failed. Despite all of this, all the KDE apps were installed and Plasma is appearing as an option on the login screen under Gnome and Gnome Classic. Still I couldn't launch KDE plasma and nothing was happening after typing my login.

I took it as a sign that KDE isn't for me, especially because I'm 99% happy with Gnome.

So I removed KDE via the terminal and the remaining apps via the software center. Sadly, there is one app called "Centre de bienvenue" or "Welcome center" from KDE that I can't remove. Nothing is happening when I try removing it.

I tried removing it via the terminal, but when I type "dnf list installed" I can't find it as there are too many packages. Could anyone help me?

I also tried « dnf list installed » with the words « welcome », « bienvenue », « kde » and « plasma ».

Thunderbird flatpak isn't opening attachements (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone!

I love Thunderbird and I'm really happy with it.

It's the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn't allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens.

Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn't work as it's only telling me that Firefox is already running.

Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?

What used phone should I get to try alternative OS? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

Having successfully left windows for Linux (Fedora) a few years ago, I thought I’d the same for my phone.

I have a professional iPhone 13 provided by my employer, but I have an old Samsung GT-I8730 lying around.

Sadly, there is apparently nothing (except stock Android) that I could easily install on it.

So I’m kind of looking for a cheap second hand phone that I could get for my birthday in order to try to have a degoogled and deappleified private phone (I’m now using my work iPhone for everything).

What phone should I buy for max 150.- (around 180$) second hand?

Also what OS should I try to install on it?

To be honest, I’m really a rookie in the phone world and I’m not even sure if I’m looking for a degoogled Android phone (/e/os, lineage, graphene) or a linux phone (Ubuntu touch, KDE mobile).

It would be important for me to be able to daily drive the phone. Listening to music and using my banking apps on it would be important features.

So I’m looking for advice regarding all of this and I’m thankful in advance for your help.

How to run macOS on Linux (without too much hassle supposedly) (www.youtube.com)

I had been waiting for a really long time for that video by the Linux Experiment (really good Linux youtuber) which is also available there: https://tilvids.com/w/bLPmGvqHd69ANdPdhRZXWV .

Sadly, as I'm on Fedora, there are a few differences from Ubuntu (DNF instead of APT) and I can't use the PPA from the github links ( https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickgui/releases?page=1 , https://github.com/quickemu-project/quickemu?tab=readme-ov-file ).

I'm sure it's easy once you get to the beginning of the video but since I can't install quickgui and I'm stuck.

It would be really nice if I could get some help as I'm sure it's fairly easy for someone more knowleadgable than me.

I should just add that I don't even really know what DNF, APT and PPA are. I just know it's related to my problem.

Edit: Basically I’m stuck at the part where you have to use the terminal to install quickgui with these lines

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannick-mauray/quickgui sudo apt update sudo apt install quickgui

Bluetooth problems on my Surface Go 1 running Fedora 39 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone!

As described in the title, I have a Surface Go 1 happily running Fedora 39. The only downsides are that the cameras aren't working and that my mouse (Modern Mobile from Microsoft) sometimes doesn't connect or disconnects.

I don't really care about the cameras, as I can use my phone for anything requiring it, but I get really irritated when my Surface Modern mouse doesn't connect for a 30 seconds when I launch the OS and then connects after moving it a few times unsuccesfuly. Also, sometime without any reason or sometimes after 5 minutes of inactivity, it disconnects.

I've used the same mouse on my wife's MacBook Pro running Fedora and I don't remember having these problems.

I was looking at installing the Surface Kernel but I'm not so experienced I would be scared to damage my installation. I have a Clonezilla backup just in case but I'd want to avoid the useless hassle.

Has anyone experienced that issue and do you think the Surface Kernel could help?

Clonezilla , how to have smaller files ? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’m really happy to be successfully using Clonezilla which is a great tool (but not easy without a tutorial) to create backups of my Fedora and Lubuntu installations on my 3 computers.

However I have a problem while cloning my 2012 MacBook Pro.

Clonezilla create individual files which are bigger than the 50 gb limit my kDrive (swiss equivalent to Google drive) allows me to have.

With my Surface Go 1 the individual files are way smaller although the overall size of the backup is approximately the same.

How can I change that so that I can put my backups on the cloud?

Can’t boot Clonezilla on Surface Go 1 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I have a Surface Go 1 with 128 gb hooked up to a usb-c screen.

I’ve installed Fedora 38 on it and I’m really happy with the whole setup. So much so that I wanted to be able to reproduce it on all my computers.

The problem is I can’t get the machine to boot from a Usb-a with usb-c adaptor or from a usb-c stick.

I’ve tried everything. I can access the uefi settings and disable secure boot and change the boot order. At first I thought it was because I was using an usb-c adapter but buying a usc-c stick didn’t change a thing.

In the past the only way I was able to boot from usb was to break my system, install windows again and go to windows recovery. I don’t want to do that again as I would want to clone my system.

For now, I’ve resorted to cloning my girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora on it, but since it’s not my daily driver, it’s not where I’m creating my perfect setup.

If anyone can help me, I’d be really grateful.

Disk image with Clonezilla question (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.

Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?

Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇

I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.

Fedora really needs a backup tool (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.

In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.

Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.

For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.

You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.

Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?

My GF Macbook Pro has reached end of life support (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has MacBook Pro from 2012 which has already been upgraded with more Ram and an SSD.

From what I understand, her OS (Catalina) has reached end of life in 2022 and doesn’t get any support from Apple anymore.

As that machine works perfectly, what should she do?

I hate Apple products (even if it’s painful for me to say that they’re good) and I’m a Linux enthusiast, so I’d tell her to install Fedora Asahi, but I wanted to know if the Apple enthusiast crowd had a better idea.

My girlfriend isn’t geeky at all (despite her geeky glasses) and she would want to stay in the safe environment provided by an Apple OS. But we also don’t want to replace that powerful machine as we hate programmed obsoletism.
