Yeah, it’s killer. Just replace cd with z, for everything. Also, popd to drop down the stack.

Shouldn’t be any problems. I’d suggest rclone. Great tool. I use it to reliably and safely copy files from my cloud server block storage to two different blob storage locations. rlcone will do anything. A simple cp will probably get it all done for you too, but I don’t know how important the data is to you.

But, I think you are looking for a CMS site that does stuff like Wordpress.

I stole this from Wikipedia

Based on a survey, the most widely used content management system is WordPress, used by 43.6% of the top 10 million websites as of October 2021. Other commonly used content management systems include Squarespace, Joomla, Shopify, and Wix.

fuzzy finding.

Something else you can do. Install oh-my-bash or oh-my-zsh, either, with zoxide jump around. Any of the directories you visit are tracked and weighted with a frecency weighted value. Then all you need to do is type in parts of the name to go there.

For instance, if I had directories ~/code/dev_repo/project-one ~/code/dev_repo/project-two ~/code/dev_repo/project-three

Then you just type z dev one or z co re pro two You know, the parts of the directories you remember. The more you visit various directories and the more recent, the weighting is higher and the more likely you get the correct directory you want with even less and less characters. Also check out atuin it adds a fuzzy finding to your bash history or zsh history.

I’ve played WoW on Linux for twenty years. Blizzard has always said they unofficially support Linux. Occasionally the Blizzard launcher will have an issue, but Blizzard fixes it right away. All that to say, you should 100% have high expectation for WoW on Linux.

I use bottles to run Blizzard games with the latest Soda runtime. But as others mentioned, it’s probably the integrated gpu that’s getting selected. If you didn’t use the automatic installer, (Lutris, bottles, etc., all have auto installers) for the blizzard launcher I’d suggest going back to that. But likely it’s just the gpu selection.

I don’t know why this is being downvoted

Oh quit your whining. Stop making excuses.

Honestly I thought the Steam Machine V2 would drop this summer. It would really be a great time for it. Definitely take some pressure off Valve to release a Steam Deck 2. I’m holding off not building my own console just in case.

Yep, same here. Back in the day, I was upgrading my computer to win2k. There was nothing wrong with my computer, Windows was just a hog. I installed Slackware and everything was smooth and snappy. One of the things I remember, playing EverQuest on Windows, I had to use the base texture modes in the game. With Slackware, I could enable the new game textures and everything played great. That’s one of the great things about Linux, you can always find a lower footprint distro.

but with Linux it’s more like, “hm, I bet I can figure this out.”

Just to piggy back on this. When I would use Windows, back in the day, I would get really frustrated that I couldn’t do something I wanted. With Linux, there is always something you can do. If anything there is always the code I can take a look at. I need the OS to do the things I need and get the hell out of the way. On Windows, it will do the things you need, as well as things other people need, as well as things Microsoft wants that will help them make money off you; even though you’ve already paid.

It’s not in the kernel. It just comes a long with the kernel. You can compile any of the drivers as modules. Back in the day when you had to fit your kernel and boot loader on a 1.44MB floppy. We would save space by compiling most of the drivers as modules and then they would get loaded into kernel space on boot. Now a days, a 100MB kernel is not a big deal when systems have Gigs of ram and harddrives are in the Terabytes. They keep the driver code with the kernel code mostly for the reasons that @dafta gave. When I was a Windows kernel dev for Intel, Microsoft did the same thing. That’s how you get inbox drivers. As a Windows kernel dev for Intel, it was our goal to get our drivers inbox’d with Microsoft so their developers would be responsible for maintaining the driver code, as well as testing, when ever there were changes to the Kernel that affected drivers.

short answer: There is generic support already in the kernel. It’s up to the game controller MFG to use that standard. Also, the generic controller standard probably doesn’t support a lot of the new features, so it makes sense to have a driver to support the extra features of the controller.

longer answer is way too long.

It’s sarcasm.

Fancy.

Would be fine. The problem is, Microsoft is encrypting drives and not telling anybody about it. Average users have no clue what any of this is and are completely unaware they need to create a passphrase for safe keeping.

Exactly this. It always surprises me when people get bent out of shape because there is an option that they don’t like. Even worse when someone makes a choice they don’t like. “Who the fuck cares. Let them do their thing. be grateful you have a choice.”

Don’t be so disingenuous. The same shit happens on Windows. And there is no guarantee that your drivers will work between Windows versions.

No one cares.

That doesn’t stop any of them. Windows users still go, willy nilly, traipsing around the internet downloading and installing random things. There is no money, no checks and balances. I’m sure you’ve read Windows converts complaining, “Linux isn’t ready for the average user because it’s too hard to install programs, they want to be able to download an installer, then click next next next and have the application installed.” They think the security of package management is too much for the average user.

Sure, FOSS could get some bad actors. It would be no different than the closed source community. At least with FOSS, there is still opportunity for people to find and eliminate the bad code. The world runs on Linux and FOSS. The place where you would want to sneak in some bad code the most. You’d have a much bigger impact. And, it does happen on occasion, people notice, and the bad code is removed. Compare that to the much smaller, Windows world, where you need anti-virus checkers and maleware checkers.

It sounds like you have the computing world inverted. You believe Windows and closed source is the most dominant computing paradigm. It’s not.

100% agree. The computer I have now, I only bought because I needed more cores and ram for my docker dev environment. But I had a Yoga 2 Pro. It worked great and was fast for most of what I needed. I gave the machine to my cousin so he could learn to program on it. Still a fast machine. Doesn’t play video games, but it didn’t play video games when I bought it either.

Nobody is expecting them too. That’s all in your own head.

Average users don’t install OSes. They don’t care about OSes. Nobody would ever expect an average user to even think about looking for a gaming distro. I think you need to retune your idea of what an average user is.
