I mean, it's an interesting one and I proved myself one more time that my reaction time is still pretty terrible.

Today I unlocked a device I have that is not degoogled. A Play Store notification appeared about 1 update being available for an app called "Android Switch". However when I opened the Play Store to update it (I have automatic updates disabled), there were no updates (even after checking manually) and searching for the mentioned app in the settings didn't give any results.

I guess that's a yet another little reason to stay away from the Goolag ecosystem.

Idk what to say about this one. It's very self-explanatory. Visit the official page for more information about the features I guess.

Also (according to the GitHub page) it's made by a 15 year old which is extremely impressive.

I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.

Saw this one in a YouTube video and found it pretty nice. I won't tell what video it was though because Lemmy doesn't like such kind of them.

Idk why I never heard of this one before but it got an update recently so it appeared in my Droid-ify feed and now I'm sharing it. Hopefully someone finds it useful.

Today I needed to do a clean install. I downloaded and installed the distro as usual choosing similar installer options as I did in the past (however I didn't install CUPS this time because idk what's up with that vulnerabilities).

After a reboot and fixing some systemd-boot freeze issues in BIOS, the system started and the GDM login prompt appeared without any issues. But there was no usual gear icon in the corner that lets you choose between Wayland, X11 and GNOME Classic modes.

I tried to log in but I got my usual Wayland issue (2/3 of the screen is black and 1/3 is artifacting). So I needed to switch to X11 to figure out if I can do anything about the issue this time.

I rebooted to fix the display issue and entered CLI mode (ctrl + alt + f2). I checked for xorg packages and they were indeed installed. However doing startx gave an error about XAuthority not being configured and launched an empty session with 3 or 4 xterm windows.

For those thinking of the 61st /usr/lib rule, I do not have an NVidia GPU so that's not the issue.

So, all of that made me think that new releases of EndeavourOS come with the stupid X11-less version of GNOME. Can I add the support myself via CLI or do I have to install an X11-only DE and use that to compile a version of GNOME with mandatory X11?

EDIT: everyone said that I should change the hardware but I figured out a fix myself. It turned out it was actually a distro issue.

Idk if posts like this are alllowed here but we'll see I guess.

So, my main Linux machine is a laptop from 2012 featuring a completely busted case (externally and internally) and latches (so it won't close without performing an automated disintegration and it makes terrifying sounds when applied any pressure on), a suspected-to-be-dead dedicated GPU (not NVidia because obvious reasons), 2x4 Gb of DDR3 RAM and the slowest Toshiba HDD known to mankind that makes pretty concerning noises itself too and sometimes gives drive errors. However I'm planning to replace it with an SSD because I've not grown to the absolute wisdom of Linux users yet ~~(vim is trash. use nano instead.)~~. Oh and its OS is a distro based on Arch (btw) featuring GNOME for the DE because not grown to WMs yet.

I understand that I don't have an external display and a keyboard because the laptop's ones work perfectly and it's not a Thinkpad but hopefully it's not too bad.

Basically title. I can't send anything without compressing it a lot (to like 256 colors).

I'm not sure why I decided to make this post. I guess I want to boast lol.

Anyways,

I started translating some GTK apps (because GNOME is the only DE that matters and there's nothing better than stock libadwaita) to one of the languages I know. I'm not a very professional translator (like how in the amount of KDE apps do you understand if a string is used in a button, label or something else?) but hopefully I can do at least something for FOSS besides just advertising it everywhere.

Also if you think this post is meaningless, it can be used as my confirmation of identity so people don't think someone is impersonating me when they see my nickname in about pages :)

This app uses elevated permissions such as Shizuku or root. Misuse may result in damage to the system or the device. Only use it if you know what you're doing and don't run random commands you find online.

Tbh I wanted to share it just because of the design. Open-source software can be really beautiful nowadays.
