FeX is userland only though, I’m wondering how they’re getting it booting arch in the first place since arch doesn’t support ARM officially (Arch Linux ARM/alarm is a separate project that has had serious maintainership issues with their packages to the point where a lot of core packages break due to being partially out of date)
I know they said they’re using fex for x86 emulation but how far down does that go? AFAIK arch Linux doesn’t have official arm support yet (alarm exists but they’ve had a lot of problems keeping packages up to date) so I wonder if Valve is planning on helping with upstream arm support
Isn’t the content blocked because imgur refused to implement ID-based age verification so as a result they just blocked users in the UK? Or am I missing something else here
If you want to do both at the same time without knowing which side any given task will fall under use NixOS
Or source code at this point, AOSP is still missing the 16 QPR1 release that came out for pixels at the beginning of September
Release QPR1 source code first though it’s been 2 months 😭
(Or at the same time, that would be good too)
I think a lot of the confusion comes from the ambiguity of the phrase “memory leak.” Rust is designed around preventing insecure memory access (accessing out of bounds for an array, use-after-free, etc.) and devs call that a memory leak. But another form of memory leak is just not freeing up memory when its no longer needed (e.g. continuously pushing a bunch of things to a global vector and never clearing it). That is more of a fundamental program design issue that rust can’t do anything about. (and really, neither could any turing complete language)
‘Use-after-free’ bugs are a specific type of memory access bug that Rust was designed around preventing. It literally refers to trying to access a block of memory after it has already been freed by the memory allocator. Unless you go out of your way to use the “unsafe” keyword in rust (which in most cases, you shouldn’t) then this type of bug is not possible.
Do you know what a use-after-free bug is? Rust was literally designed to make this type of memory bug impossible.
But then the kernel wouldn’t be free! Free as in ‘use-after-free’!
(/s in case it wasn’t obvious)
That’s exactly my point. Giving away the exact town you live in to strangers on the Internet is not good advice to give people generically.
Maybe I could see country or even general region, but town?? Why would I want to publicly give away my location like that?
My town has $20 million of debt in our education department alone that we didn’t know about until this year after a board of education administration change 😭 so I think 10,000 might not make too much of a difference to them. That being said I’d probably donate to a local foodbank
The problem with CachyOS is that it’s arch-based, which is fine, but I wouldn’t recommend it for people who aren’t willing to deal with arch problems and be familiar (or willing to learn) using the CLI. I normally just point people to either mint or bazzite depending on how many games they play.
once installed, what everyone and their uncle forgot to mention during the rave reviews (and you kinda glossed over) is that a steam account is fucking mandatory. like, you can’t even log in, switch to desktop mode, change resolution, nada. …
This is not true. When you download the installer from their website there is a prompt asking you if you want a Desktop-first install or the Steam-mode first install. The desktop install boots directly into KDE or Gnome just like any other distro, and doesn’t require a steam account, but will come with the steam launcher pre installed.
I get that it’s not great UX to put install options like that in the website but If you’re going to go on a long rant about how awful it is, please at least put a fraction of that effort into seeing if you’re actually right.
If you chose to download the steam gaming mode version I think it’s understandable that the expectation is that you have a steam account. The whole point of that mode to begin with is that it replicates the experience you’d get on the steam deck, so you can make your own home-console PC or install it on a handheld like the Lenovo or ASUS ones. It’s not really designed around regular desktop use.
Side note, I haven’t used it much yet but so far bazzite has been working fine on my i7 7700hq + 1050ti laptop with the same ram and storage as yours that I got because it couldn’t run Windows 11. It should be about as powerful as yours, maybe slightly weaker on the CPU side and slightly better on the GPU side. Have you looked into it being maybe some weird driver issue with your laptop’s power management? It could maybe have something to do with that.
I like the idea but I feel like it makes a lot of the endstone look almost greenish? It looks a little off to me
nixpkgs is still kicking off their build pipeline, they’ll be here in 4 days
The name “tapeworm” also predates the invention of tape. From what I can tell (Google search results) tape used to refer to any long, thin strip of material instead of just the sticky kind.
Does winboat have GPU support? Could be wrong but I was under the assumption that it works similarly to WinApps and can’t have GPU passthrough to the virtualized windows install under the hood
Seems like there will also just be a toggle somewhere (probably developer settings) that lets someone install from any source
