Reminds me of black ops. The first one. Looks great

I concure, i had pop os with virtual machines for windows via kvm/qemu. Total noob but i got it to work somehow. Anyway several games i couldnt play due to anti cheat, i had destiny 2 on my steam account that i cant play do to this problem as i risk my account being banned just for having linux. Eventually after some tinkering i broke my pop os(wanted to use lightdm and lighter desktop enviornment to save ram/cpu).
Only use windows vm for non linux friendly titles i have already paid for. Everything else will be via linux vm for gaming. Since vm is my goto i like keeping my host computer minimum. Also i prefer hdmi audio for my vms as my switch box has an toslink(fiber optic) audio out. Keeps the audio part super easy to add using astros or equivilant gear that have optical support.
When i was still really noob to onward i have jumped from ubuntu, pop os, fedora, linux mint, debian, manjaro, artix, slackware.
I go back between distros from time to time but for a noob and support with out the box experience.
Linux mint is the choice to go, out the box:
-
removed ubuntu snaps(snaps seem way too bloated for me)
-
nvidia drivers are easy to install via gui
-
docs are simple and easy to follow, i had jumped up 2 versions in an old thinkpad w/ nvidia quite easily.
-
it does have display refresh rate changes.
-
since its based off ubuntu it does have support for games as well.
-
really user friendly
Stuff most linux distros have
-
tinkering out the box, only a select few remove that to have the distro set to read only for user or are heavily integrated to work a certain way where tinkering is a pain.
-
programming-you can setup it however you like for programming, via ide or through text editor such as vim/neovim etc
-
vpn remote access for media- its supported in most if not all distros as well.
One thing i want to know is what your computer specs are, since wether a stable distro such as mint or rollin release such as an arch based will depend on your hardware.
Many thanks for this, ill be going through this thouroughly to see about getting this running. This is huge help thanks again.
As stable or user friendly fedora and debian are, their whole structure due to the way they setup their ecosystem including their package management differ in how to change things system wide as you dont want to go too heavy on it to avoid breaking, especially if you tinker things to where you conflict with its package manegment. Aka your configs vs apts/dnf package managers configs, at some point a conflict will occur to where you will need to fix it.
Slackware lack of package managers creates the initial issue of well now i got to manually take care of the dependencies. However in exchange, the packages are close to the way they were initially developed and your config system wide has significant less competition on what happens to your configs systemwide.
You can make your debian or fedora your system, however slackware gives you that initial power out of the box hence its superb stability + even if i make a mistake i find slackware to be more forgiving to fix the issue.
I have an intel arc 380 gpu, i know slackware current has preconfigured kernel. I havent tried building my own kernel but would it be easier using preconfigured or just build it?
I know intel arc requires 6.2 kernel as the driver and i believe mesa 22(or newer) .
The G.O.A.T. !!!
One last thing for slackware for its birthday celebration.
If anyone wants to join slackware, this is a link to a post in the community as i dont know how to link the community directly
If i remember right, it takes a lot of resources to maintain a package manager, and the focus on slackware is to be on the improving the distro overwall hence its superb stability. Community members have created sbopkg + sbotools to create a 3rd party package manager if you want to go that route on slackware. Sbotools would be the gui to take care of depenencies
I remember this from mastadon when i was searching slackware hashtag. Nice, congrats Slackware!
Ive tried magic earth while traveling. Though the ui is nice compared to osmand, i agree that there are extra steps. Sometimes i had to input the address of the place i found to an address to coordinate converter to plug that into Magic earth. I get the auto update maybe to save resources while using the app or prevent the app from rebooting/refreshing map after update.
Thanks for the info.
I don't think a person knows hummanity better than after working at customer service. I say that before sales and marketing because the as a service rep you are the filter for everything and the first one to interact with people. If they are angry doesn't matter the reason, or any small inconvinience even if it was a result of the client themselves.
