lol, they are awesome, they will even provide you with a new lung when you need it, but you’ll have to work for a few millennia to pay for it, but hey at least they care. 🤣

Well, you can always switch jobs if you want to. There are many good willed companies out there like Weyland-Yutani, Oscorp, Skynet, OCP and many more.

Autocad Fusion 360 ? Forget about it. Winboat doesn’t support GPU passthrough yet, so it will run sluggish as hell.

You either…

• wait for WinBoat to support it (if it ever does)
• learn how to virtualize and do GPU passthrough on your own
• switch to freecad which is very powerful

I’m looking for one that makes it look like the Lemmy web client called alexandrite or the Feeds gnome app.

I’ll need to whip up a theme with ChatGPT or something.

I’ve tried both. WinBoat is on a whole different level of easy. You just download it, click next about 3 times and you have a working Windows VM providing Windows apps that run alongside your native linux apps.

It doesn’t get any easier than this.

Is there a skin / theme that makes the UI more modern?

They must have a lot of overhead for just a handful of apps. If they provided a better catalogue, it would be more popular and have a greater chance of garnering more donations.

Looks great!

Can we get a screenshot of the SFTP UI?

Definitely Proxmox as base OS, Docker inside.

Framework doesn’t sell in the UK?

Not for me, I prefer AIO, less maintenance.

Every distro I listed is awesome in it’s own ways. Arch is great, but you will break it.

Arch is for people that want to learn Linux enough to fix it and/or tailor it down to the last package, if you want something that just works no matter what, it’s not for you.

However, if you have a second PC and your activities are not critically important and you have lots of free time, it’s great to learn how Linux works.

Having 2 drives also works fine. Just don’t dual boot on the same drive, as that will eventually result in being unable to boot.

• 1998:

I tried my first linux distro: Mandriva

• 1998 - 2020

Every year I chose a distro and spent a month with it. Mandrake was a an eye opener. Then Ubuntu was the easiest, but it was not ready for me yet.

• 2021:

Linux is now ready for work & gaming, so I switched and tried these major distros and their downstream forks:

Debian

• Ubuntu

  • Zorin
  • POP OS
  • Mint
  • Tails

• Vanilla OS

Arch

• Manjaro
• Endeavour OS
• Crystal
• BlendOS
• SteamOS

Fedora

• Fedora Workstation

• Nobara
• Fedora Silverblue

• Ublue:

• Aurora
• Bazzite

I recommend Bazzite for gamers and Aurora, for everyone else. They are as if not easier to use than a smartphone.

I use Aurora on my work laptop, and Bazzite on my gaming desktop. Both have been great with no issues.

Because it’s easier, it just works and it doesn’t nag me.

I use Bazzite, it’s been the best computing experience I had.

Ask anything you want.

2 kids here.

Avoid any challenges until you can handle the most important one. Just come back when he’s 1 y/o.

I now game with them on my Bazzite Linux desktop PC and our Steam Deck. Kids love it.

Do we know why they don’t make ports for newer Pixels?

A Sims clone has to be better than the Sims and even then I wouldn’t like to play it. A mod friendly life sim engine is something I would definitely want to play.

I can already imagine a SimGine Skyrim mod being uploaded on day 1.

But I would suggest to scale it back even more, if I understood correctly, it’s still very ambitious. Make it scriptable, modular, dev & artist friendly. Well documented, treat contributors as first class.

• Life sim:

Start with the creation of something where contributors can create for example a dog entity add the a trait called thirst which has a counter that increases x% every x seconds then another contributor adds a bowl of water that replenishes the thirst meter.

• Building mode:

Start with a grid and snapping system with layering so that contributors could create the building blocks. Players could import models and assign an entity to it.

• Character creation:

Players could start by importing ready made models. The character creator could come later, or you could start with just hats. And go from there.

I run Bazzite which is immutable and rock solid stable. I use Boxbuddy which is a frontend for Distrobox to install packages from any distro when I can’t find it on brew.

Use the Fork Luke!

Bazzite ships Flathub unfiltered.

Last update (which replaced Discover with Bazaar) changed that.

so no taking a precompiled binary and shipping that.

All FLOSS apps on Flathub are built on trusted platforms by default, in the open and verifiable. Same thing with Brew.

Not including proprietary software in the default config is a valid choice every distro has to make.

The sudden success of Bazzite comes from how easy it is to use.
