You are absolutely right.

Anyways, the idea is to mimic the ytsearch1: feature but for invidious – search for a video id based on its title, drop id on an invidious stance, and play it. I’ve got half of it.

Forgot to mention that live streams play just fine as well, but only if played directly on youtube.

You guys use wallpapers?

Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

Why “we” should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a “free” ““operating system”” (Not absolutely free, but at least way more “free” than Windows) – learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

It could be (pretty much) any distro you want – considering scripts like armbian-gaming exists and can give you a “one stop shop” experience.

Why running scripts like these instead of downloading the “real thing”? When you have “obscure”/unsupported sbcs and you need to “make your own” version of it.

I’m not upset about it,

You just mentioned about 5 posts not being an “appealing Lemmy experience”. Only. Five. Posts.

It’s time to take a break my dude.

If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much… why don’t you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else… that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.

In other words… this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.

-EDIT- Nvm that, I’ve tested several methods to make this work and none of em worked as I was expecting – a ramdisk with zstd compression.

Oh well.

a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Well, then – how about making the NPU process zram workloads (only)? I’d even ask “how about making it behave like a GPU instead of a NPU” but eh, I don’t think it’d top or even have a similar performance than… any GPU available in the market?

why you would want to do that.

Because apparently everyone and their mother wants to stick a NPU on every PC, and I’m not planning on using AI ever, so… why not give it another purpose instead of letting it collect dust?

-EDIT- Oh, how about making the NPU behave like a CPU but it (only) process “low-process-demanding” applications like video editors, window managers, etc? If anything, freeing up a few extra %'s might be a good idea for a few PCs.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

A separate /home partition means you can set $ROOTFS as read-only (and /home as rw) and have a “pseudo-everlasting but not really” file system.

(And before someone says “Why not simply disable logs instead? It’s the same thing.” – yes, yes it is. But sometimes you want a “just werks” solution, even if it is a dumb one. Which is (obviously) disabling writes all over $ROOTFS.)

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.

.dotfiles on github

Big/critical files on an external HD

Just remember that “Linux is not Windows” and to “go in” like It’s your very first time using a PC and you’ll be fine.
