I’ve tried reading through the article, but unfortunately, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. I use openSUSE, how does this affect me, and what do I need to do/what can I do about this?
Zypper (openSUSE’s package manager) is what I use for installing programs and its relatively easy. Find the package name on openSUSE.org, then put “sudo zypper in [package-name]” into the terminal.
Not the guy your responding to and I 100% get your frustration, but I want to provide a little anecdote.
Back in November, I built a new desktop to replace my 7 year old one and put OpenSUSE on it. No matter what I tried, I could not get either Bluetooth or WiFi working. I tried updating drivers, restarting controllers, reinstalling the OS, replacing the OS with Mint. Nothing worked.
I did a lot of searching over the next few days, and it turned out that my motherboard was so new that it’s built in WiFi chip did not have Linux drivers yet. Like at all.
Most products aren’t created with Linux in mind, so compatibility isn’t a concern. It’s up to the community to create patches & drivers to make things work, and it can take a bit to get things working.
I’m genuinely sorry you had the experience you did, but I hope that if you do return to Windows that you’ll give Linux another try in the future. Search your products to see if others have had issues, along with potential solutions, before you dive in.
THERE’S A SECOND ONE??
Me to my friend who also plays: I think I only have like 2 side quests left before the end
My friend: Did you do [insert 5 full side stories I hadn’t even started]
Me: … right, so time to start a new save so I can process that.
That’s the one! I knew I got it at the Harper safe house, but couldn’t remember at what point in act 2 or who I talked to.
Oh I could definitely take it further. But I like the look of the hat on my character.
I genuinely thought it did. Interesting.
I was aware monks can (at the very least I was aware of Kensei), I’d just never considered it as advantageous enough to go Defensive Duelist, I guess.
In an MP save I’m in, I’m playing an open hand monk and am currently using that staff you can buy from Auntie Ethel in the grove because of the bonuses to unarmed damage.
I don’t have an answer for you, but would defensive duelist work with a monk? Doesn’t it require a weapon in the main hand and an empty off hand?
My sibling ran into this issue once. I’m not sure if it’s a setting or a default, but vscode would assume they were working in a blank repo until they made a commit.
Sounds like this person had the project (without source control) in another IDE, tried out VSCode, and it assumed that it was all ‘changes’. I don’t use VSCode, do I can’t say for certain, but I know my sibling lost ~4 hours of project set up for the same reason (though they immediately realized it was their fault).
That’s basically how I did it.
To properly learn it using this method, create a directory that contains only text files and sub directories and treat it like a real project. Add files, delete them, play around with updating the repository. Try and go back a few updates and see how the things react. Since it’s not a real project there’s no risk of loss, but you’ll still get to see the effects of what you do.
A really good way to do linux is to play around and break things, but to have a backup you can restore from.
I don’t know about other distros specifically, but Mint comes shipped with Timeshift, which is easily configurable and can be set up to include your home directory. Make a backup on an external drive every now and again so that if you break everything, you only lose a bit of work instead of all of it.
Search engines are your friend. If you want to do something, look it up first (ex/ “How do I [x] on linux”) and read some of the answers. Don’t just go with the first option you see, and if it looks decent but you don’t understand it try looking up the commands it uses to find some documentation.
Learning linux isn’t something you can do as passively as you can with Windows, so take time to really try and learn things you’re looking to do.
And a good rule of thumb is that if you think your system should be able to do something, it probably can.
I have terrible but defined habits for my ROMs. I use the same folder structure for all of them.
./[platform]/[game]/[game].zip
./[platform]/[game]/[game].iso
./[platform]/[game]/saves/…
If it’s a series, using Pokémon as an example, I also have:
./Pokemon/Backups/[game].zip
./Pokemon/[generation]/[game]/[game].iso
So it’s not that good of a backup, mainly there in case the iso corrupts, but I think it’s better than nothing.
I just had to go and check because I got my 2 year subscription for ~$0.75 a month ($1 CAD) back in April. When I check their pricing page while not logged in, it shows me that I can save 50% on my first year and pay $6 monthly.
As a Jr. Full Stack, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
I work with Java. And I’m definitely ‘rose tinted glasses’ because I also learned to code in Java. But I’m the opposite.
Do you use Java at home?
Fuck no, I want to stay sane.
Oh I’ve been trying. He’s tech adverse in general, so the concept of open source software scares him because it means trusting others with regards to tech.
I literally got the Acrtic Nova 7 a month ago, and I daily drive OpenSUSE. There were no issues getting it set up for normal use, but Sonar doesn’t have a Linux version and as far as I could find there are no instructions to get it working so all of those creature comforts will not work.
One thing to note is that if you connect to Windows via Bluetooth and not the dongle, make sure to unpair the headset before wiping Windows. I ran into this because I had it connected to my old phone and had to unpair it to connect it to my new one (the headset will not pair to a new device unless intentionally unpaired from the old one)
