Honestly, I really liked Zork. (I was the right age when it came out.). Never been as captivated by a game. More in the imagination than in the graphics.
I’ll put Civilization V (and sometimes IV) in second place. Homeworld was great too.
Hi there - I’m fairly certain I’ve tried this but it doesn’t give the desired visual feedback you get with multi-cursors or in the example I’m showing.
Ah. So no option with visual feedback…? Wonder if a plugin exists that can help there.
You may be onto something… /s
(I almost went with British Broadcorping Castration…)
So I looked them up with my Mastodon account to try to follow but quickly discovered that not all searches for ‘BBC’ lead to accounts related to the BBC…l.
A soup.
Given the ongoing cyber attack on Toronto Public Library, I really hope no one files this under ‘Life Hacks’…
It’s an utter embarrassment.
They are called “mondegreens”. They’re a ton of fun.
“'Scuse me while I kiss this guy…”
Absolutely correct.
I AM shaking my head… 🙂
I thought that was Shaking My Head…? Similar uses, I guess. But if it’s as you say, I may stop using.
IBM PC, circa 1982(?)
Had been using Sync nonstop. Tried Boost this morning.
I no longer use Sync.
Lol - I was parodying your comment, actually 🙂. Not sure if fingerprint is standard api, but I suspect there is some proprietary stuff going on.
In the end it’s not about blaming Linux, it’s about getting adoption to a critical mass where commercial entities can realize a business case to support. Then the ecosystem will thrive.
Linux (and BSD for router workload) absolutely owns the server world. Even MS let’s you run SQL Server on Linux). The desktop isn’t there yet wrt adoption, but it’s growing. Things like fingerprint sensors are definitely in the desktop (closer to end user) world and if it’s the business use case that is the area of most growth, as I suspect it is (in India, especially) then I think these sorts of modules have higher likelihood of being adopted.
Exactly! But I really, really hope that the growing share in India and other places starts to catalyze commercial development.
Immutable packages like flatpak (or whatever is your format of choice) makes the software side way, way easier. It’ll take a bit more convincing to get HW makers to dive in though.
It’s no joke making supported software let alone HW for multiple flavours sites of kernel, architecture.
It’s a lot better than 25 years ago when I used as a daily driver, but we’re just not quite there yet. I keep trying!
Interestingly, a friend of mine just sent me this https://www.musicradar.com/news/linux-studio.
I will try to help him out with it - it’s promising, as he does not have the hardware/workflow obstacles that I have, but he’s also not as technically minded. I actually really hope becomes workable for him.
Update - it’s ultimately a non-starter, I’m afraid. A nightmare in trying to integrate unsupported HW (Line 6, etc - forgot about those ones…)
Frustrating. Naively, I keep trying and bashing my head into that wall…
These aren’t Linux issues that Windows does better. It’s just companies that decided their hardware shouldn’t run by Linux.
The only success I’ve had to connect to my wayland desktop was with Gnome, (at the time, it only worked if I was already logged in, though there was an extension that let you overcome a locked desktop). Once in, it worked well. Sort of. Had no luck with KDE, though that may have changed. VNC gave me no end of difficulty so I gave up.
All in all, a bit of a fiasco. YMMV - I’m sure my own incompetence was to blame (but should it not be… easier?)
