Here's why modern gaming suuuuucks. in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

tl;dr: "Growing up sucks because it makes everything look the same old."

I mean... yeah. That is why you have to stop wishing for "the same old" over and over again and embrace the new. And yes, I (also) think DRM has no other purpose than to hinder performance.

t. am (also) a 80's "kid".

Can I install linux on this? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even a potato can run linux if you try hard(er) enough.

Why do you still hate Windows? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'm typing this from my orange pi zero 3 w/ dietpi installed... aaaaaaand I don't really "hate", but more like "not care about it anymore". Sure, its privacy concerns are truly a nightmare, but eh. It's good to have options, that's all. Even if one said "options" can be more harmful than good.

Having a bunch of beers rn & trying out Debian for the first time. Will I have regrets? 🤔 happy Saturday to all, drink something delicious today 🍻 in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It may feel tasty and great today... but it (definitely) won't feel great as much in the future. Have some respect on yourself and drink something healthy instead -- there are better ways to have fun than that.

That aside, Debian can be very user friendly just like any other distro -- I say go for it.

Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Nah, that's a preconfigured distro.

Anti Malware with Linux in c/linux@lemmy.world
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Not really a "anti malware" per se, but you can always set up a separate linux device (like a orange pi zero 3) and set it up as a network ad blocker with nextdns (which apparently it can be (also) a "anti malware" -- which I haven't tested if it is legit or not, but eh.).

Linux geeks cheer as Arm wrestles x86 • The Register in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

For me, arm has already "won" this debacle -- convenience > performance all day errday.

Sorry I can't do it. in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world
[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

To use (and enjoy) Linux properly, you've got to "unlearn" several things including the bad habit of expect everything to "just werk". If you are expecting to "double click your cares away" on Linux, then it's (very) likely you'll be disappointed.

With that aside, your best bet is to go for Linux Mint and not Arch Linux.

How do I enable drm support for panfrost? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. More specifically, for the orange pi zero 3. It has a mali-G31 gpu. Thanks in advance.

Editing (or running) file(s) regardless of current directory. [Cli tip] (lemmy.world)
 

tl;dr

Editing;

$photoortexteditoryoulike $(find / -iname incompletefilenam*)

Running;

exec $(find / -iname incompletepackagenam*)

Interacting (copying, moving, etc);

$desiredinteraction $(find / -iname desiredfileorpackag*) /desired/output/directory

It may be a "not-so-attractive" tip for most of you, but I find it really useful when I want to edit a specific file (that is located alongside several ones, like a picture or a text file). Or when I've finished compiling something and I want to find the binary file asap. Saves me lots of time on really slow pcs (like a rpi zero).

Ah, yes... the perfect example of "Everything I don't like is Hitler" and "If you type 666 you'll become Satan!".

Is there a "one size fits all" solution for fstab optimization? (lemmy.world)

Title. I'm trying to come up with a fully functional, optimal yet read-only scheme for fstab and I could use some pointers.

Thanks in advance.

Raspberry Pi IPO: are they selling out? (www.youtube.com)

Can I damage or even kill a sbc if I use a power supply with a lower amperage than what is recommended/expected by the manufacturers? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. In other words, sbc recommended/optimal power supply is 5V4A but I use an 5V3A instead -- will it damage or kill the sbc? The reasoning behind this is "an direct undervolting towards the system, for lower power draw and temps".

Thanks in advance.

Just switched from a Raspberry pi 4 to a Orange pi zero 3 and the difference is significantly better. (lemmy.world)

Title. I'm rocking the exact same setup as it were on my Raspberry pi 4 (nextdns running on docker, a livestream playing 24/7 on ffplay, ufw, sway, alsa-utils) and the difference is night and day compared to the rpi 4 (temps at 52 degrees versus 74 on my rpi 4 and cpu usage at 0 ~1% on my opi zero 3 versus 6 ~10% on my rpi 4).

Title. A cheat sheet for this would be lovely.

Thanks in advance.

Nothing too shabby honestly. But there you have it nonetheless. And yep, I used AI for a l"head start". :p

Give browser and wine ownership to user "nobody" = "foolproof" against viruses? (lemmy.world)
 

Title. Just had this baseless yet possible idea on my head and I'd like to know how wrong it is? Since afaik, "nobody" has absolutely zero permissions... other than the ones given by the user. Pretty sure I'm missing something vital or important, but... I'm completely fine being called dumb every now and then.

Thanks in advance.
