🕶️ A view of its IU (I activated the “Scanlines” filter for a more retro look) with the game Choplifter III: a 2D helicopter game in which the player eliminates enemies (tanks, cannons, etc.) while freeing hostages to take back to his base. 📚️ Emulicious is a free multi-system (Nintendo Game Boy & Game Boy Color, Sega Master System & Game Gear, Microsoft MSX) and multi-platform emulator, with particular emphasis on emulation precision. Its features include interface update, execution speed adjustment, HLE BIOS integration (or use of manufacturer ROMs), various graphics filters, display resizing, theme support, drag-and-drop content (ROMs), IPS patching, state saving, and numerous debugging tools. A very good emulator.

🕶️ Its user interface (v. 5.2.15) on a dark theme, showing a drawing (a collage I made on Krita's user interface) created on Krita by artist, by YaMuuS. The work is titled “Happy Dancing Girl ” (https://krita-artists.org/t/happy-dancing-girl/171964). It shows a happy young girl dancing in a street bathed in summer sunlight, in front of an old house painted in the warm colors typical of southern regions. 📚️ Krita is a libre, and multi-platform raster graphics editor for photo editing, freehand image creation, vector drawing and animation. In particular, it supports graphics tablets (handling pressure, tilt and rate), CMYK colors, HDR painting, color mixing and image deformation. It has a perspective grid, pluggable brush engines (simulating real brushes) and can use external brushes resources (those of Gimp for example)or community-designed textures. Its other major strength is that it combines power and ease of use.

🕶️ The project icon 📚️ Eden is a libre, multiplatform Nintendo Switch emulator designed with performance and stability in mind. It focuses on emulation accuracy and performance—without unnecessary overkill—and supports Xbox, DualShock, and other common controllers.

Tut mir leid #ArchLinux, aber diesmal haut es mit uns nicht hin 😭

#WLAN geht zwar inzwischen irgendwie, aber ist unbrauchbar langsam, wie ich das von dir nicht kenne. Trotzdem ruft #claws keine Mails ab.

Und dann die Flut von #gtk-Fehlern, die ich nicht lösen kann.

Früher führten deine Installationen immer zu vorzüglichen Ergebnissen, worauf sich ein sauberes System aufbauen ließ. Aber Verschlechterung ist ja ein allgemeiner Trend.

So werde ich nun den Kampf mit #Manjaro aufnehmen. Es bietet wenigstens eine gut funktionierende Basis. Den ganzen unerwünschten beigepackten Müll muss ich eben mühsam entfernen.

Nein, dazu habe ich überhaupt keine Lust, aber für nicht enden wollende Basteleien ist mir meine Zeit inzwischen zu kostbar geworden.

Schade … Puh, mir graut es vor Manjaro 😱

#Arch #Linux

#Ratlos

Frisch #ArchLinux installiert. Fürs #WLAN ist ein USB-Stick zuständig, der als #wlan0 eingebunden wird. Hat während der Installation bestens funktioniert. Auch im fertigen System heißt er wlan0, allerdings findet #iwctl jetzt plötzlich keine Netzwerke mehr. Ziehe ich den Stick im laufenden Betrieb heraus und stecke ihn kurz darauf wieder hinein, wird er zu #wlan1 und iwctl findet nun wieder Netzwerke und verbindet sich. Nach einem Neustart ist alles hinfällig.

Stundenlang habe ich jetzt gesucht und herumprobiert. Leider erfolglos.

Hat jemand eine Idee, was hier falsch läuft? Danke im Voraus.

#Arch #Linux

Eben habe ich eine #opensource Konfigurationssoftware für mein #Arch Linux entdeckt, mit dem ich meine #Logitech MX Keys S Tastatur und Maus konfigurieren kann. Das Programm heißt #solaar und kann im #Terminal mit

sudo pacman -S solaar

installiert werden.

Ach ja, um eine Einstellung zu ändern mit der Maus auf das kleine Schloss klicken, damit die Funktion einstellbar wird... 😍

🕶️ A view of its UI (in a dark theme) with its various modules arranged on a rack and connected to each other by cable links. 📚️ A libre, multi-platform virtual modular synthesizer, working as an audio plugin (with support for CLAP, LV2, VST2 and VST3 protocols) or as a standalone version for some systems. It is based on the popular VCV Rack from which it has removed non-free elements, external modules and other connections to the store, to provide a libre, self-contained and reliable version.

🕶️ A view of its UI with the breakout game on the left and the scoreboard on the right. 📚️ LBreakoutHD is a modernization of LBreakout2, a libre & multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (2 in LAN or 4 in hotseat) breakout game. The player controls the lateral movement of a racket, with the aim of preventing the ball from reaching the bottom of the screen and of making the highest score by eliminating the maximum amount of bricks. It includes levels from LBreakout2 in different graphic resolutions, while continuing its improvement. A very fine achievement!

I wanted to test Playwright on my Arch Linux, but that software is a pain to install (which is rare on Arch), even with the AUR package. It's built for Debian-based distributions, and installing dependencies is a mess.

I was thinking about using Debian in a chroot, then I remembered the Distrobox project, which uses Podman with deep integration. This was a perfect use case for it, and it works super well. Kudos to the people involved!

Je suis pas sûr-e d'avoir compris ce qu'est dwl. Ça permet d'avoir des ses fenêtre en tiling ? Je pourrais me passer de Polonium ?

Je suis sous Arch (Wayland) + KDE et je voulais du tiling mais j'ai toujours des petits problèmes, d'où ma question.

Y'know what? As an #opensource #advocate and #tech enthusiast, it's genuinely awesome to see increased mainstream coverage of #Linux and #FreeBSD. Unfortunately, a lot of these articles are riddled with mistakes, misinformation, clickbait, and overall low quality. A few minutes ago, while catching up on tech news I came across one #ZDNet author's frequent posts on Linux and FreeBSD.

To emphasize my point, I am only going to focus on one article titled, "After decades on Linux, FreeBSD finally gave me a reason to switch operating systems."

The following passages stuck out like sore thumb:

1.) "FreeBSD is more challenging than Linux."

-But is it really? Subjective, particularly if coming from a GUI-driven Linux distribution. Frankly I find FreeBSD easier because of the excellent documentation and coherent design.

2.) "FreeBSD is Unix-like" but further down he states, "Essentially, FreeBSD is Unix, where Linux is based on Unix."

-Contradictory, incorrect, and confusing for newcomers. FreeBSD is Unix. Linux (neither the kernel nor OS) is based on Unix.

3.) "Think of FreeBSD as a more challenging version of Linux. This operating system doesn't hold your hand, so you might learn a thing or two as you install it and the software you require. Even for a seasoned Linux veteran like me, FreeBSD can often be a head-scratcher."

-Challenging because it's *different than Linux*? FreeBSD doesn't hold your hand? What about #Debian, #Gentoo, #Arch, heck even #RHEL? Since the author didn't mention it, I'm going to assume he did not check the FreeBSD Handbook and his "seasoned Linux" experience has been using a Linux desktop for a couple years. Also, head-scratcher?! Being an experienced Debian user, I'd be scratching my head too if I just decided to use Gentoo on a whim. The trauma of hand-configuring the xorg.conf file was real.

Finally, contrary to the article's title, the author ended up not switching to FreeBSD.

-Clickbait.

I am all for more people exploring FreeBSD and Linux. They are great OSes but it is critical the information being reported is both accurate and consistent. For reference the article is linked below.
