I'm not the biggest distrohopper but I have tried a few, both on my laptop and desktop. I still keep windows around on a dual-boot but I'm basically only using it for the odd game or two and also onenote (obsidian + excalidraw comes close but nothing really has a seamless transition between pen and typing text like OneNote)

Early 2018 and before:

Windows only

2018-19:

  • Ubuntu 18.04 (desktop),
  • Ubuntu 18.04/18.10/19.04 (laptop)

2019-2022:

  • Manjaro w/ KDE (desktop),
  • Arch Linux w/ GNOME (laptop)

2022-2023:

  • NixOS (laptop, for literally a day because it didn't have a package I needed to make my laptop work correctly)
  • EndeavourOS (kde on laptop, qtile on desktop)

2024:

  • No changes to the desktop setup,
  • NixOS w/ KDE and also a half-functioning hyprland setup on the laptop now that the package got added.

Future?

Maybe if I can get my NixOS config to a point where I'm happy with it I'll switch my desktop setup to that as well, in theory it should be pretty painless since i'm already using a flake setup split across multiple modules. I do really like that I can experiment with my setup without the risk of actually breaking anything since NixOS is semi-immutable.

If I don't stick with NixOS I've also been thinking about trying fedora, opensuse, or an immutable distro, or otherwise just moving my laptop back to either Arch or EndeavourOS since that's what I'm familiar with.

I know I'm late to this but here's my (probably insane?) take. We use Subject-Verb-Object in English right? So, hear me out:

dialog_create_tab(...)
dialog_open_file(...)
dialog_close_file(...)

I'm guessing lemmy.cafe has .ml blocked but not the other way around, OP likely can't see your comment

Software optimization is mostly not a language-level problem. I'll be dailying my 3-year-old OnePlus 9 Pro until it starts missing out on security updates, but it will probably still be "usable" long after that. Support/updates aside, my 6-year-old galaxy s9 can still run most normal apps. Hell, I got the most recent lineageOS running on a pixel 2 XL from the year before that and it straight up felt fast as long as I wasn't playing some super intensive game or something. This isn't an android vs. iOS problem, it's a "developers of [insert flashy new app here] either not bothering to put effort in to optimize their code or being forced to push out a minimum viable product ASAP" problem.

Edit: fixed my hyphen use

A lot of android apps are built using Java/Kotlin, so you don't actually need to care about architecture since the JVM supports both x86_64 and arm64.

There are exceptions to this though, since some apps need to run native code. Those apps would need some sort of emulation/translation layer for the arm instructions.

AFAIK registrations get approved manually on this instance so I doubt it'd be bots, the admin isn't really active so I figured the instance was dying but I didn't realize it was that dead.

The DS did have an IR sensor but (I'm pretty sure, don't quote me too hard here) a majority of the local communication was using either wifi or a proprietary wireless connection using the wifi antenna/chip.

I specifically remember Pokemon Black/White having an IR quick-trade option where you had to put 2 DS's back-to-back and being really confused about it because it seemed useless since it took so long to actually work.

Are there really only 300 people here? Surely that data is wrong?

If anything to me gnome always seemed like some weird mix between macos, android, and chrome OS. That might be the material style theming though.

Not really sure how archinstall factors in since it wasn't around yet when I first installed, but I love EndeavourOS. I've installed arch before, but I really can't be bothered if I'm just going to end up installing all of the same packages the GUI could give me in less time anyway. Yeah, EndeavourOS is just arch with some small extra packages and a GUI installer, but that's exactly why I like it.

I'm trying to find links to full mirrors of Citra, but I can't find any of the extra repos Citra hosted (like the build environment with docker files, the GitHub wiki with all of the documentation, etc.)

I found this but it looks like it only has the Citra code for now. Does anyone have a backup of those other repos?

I was hoping to learn more about emulation development on an eventual successor like Lime3ds and maybe contribute toward getting the CI builds working again. If this isn't the right community for this question, I can remove it. I wasn't sure if there was a good place to ask questions on the development side of things.

 

I'm getting a weird issue with steam on my desktop running endeavourOS with qtile, where steam starts and then immediately closes. I've been trying to figure out why this happens, but all of the solutions I could find from googling errors have said to uninstall xdg-desktop-portal or flatpak, but neither of those things worked for me, nor did running steam with the -no-cef-sandbox or -vgui. It's also worth noting that steam boots perfectly fine on my laptop (endeavourOS + KDE).

Here's the result from running steam:

Edit: Also not sure if there's a better community to ask this in since this one seems to be mostly about news, I can ask elsewhere if this is the wrong community for debugging/help questions

Edit 2: I realized I didn't specify, but my system has a Ryzen 7 5700x/RX 5700XT so it isn't an issue with Nvidia drivers

Edit 3: Not sure why I put "Arch" in the title, just realized the mistake and fixed it. I'm on EndeavourOS, which is arch-based but obviously not the same thing.

Final Edit: Thanks for the help everyone! Installing the lib32-libnm package fixed it for me. If that doesn't work for others, maybe try installing the flatpak version of steam, since that version was launching for me also
