  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    In all seriousness it's very exciting, I just don't need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

    The year of the Linux desktop is long ago, but this year definitely will be the year of Linux mobile

    The combined number of years of my marriage and the ages of all of my children is a number that when subtracted from 2024 would not equal the first time I heard this.

    i'll switch 100% to linux when Logitech supports my steering wheel.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.

    Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.

    G928 and the pedals and shifter

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Do you mean the G923? Can't find a G928 anywhere. The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.

    I couldn't get it working correctly. Regularly disconnects and misshifts. I admit I didn't try as hard.

    That's strange. Do you happen to use a USB extension cables to reach your steering wheel?

    I noticed that Linux is far worse than Windows in recovering from USB errors. Most of the time it will just stop working where Windows will ignore the error and continue.

    If you are interested in diagnosing the issue you can run journalctl -f in a terminal while playing and check the logs when an issue occurs. USB errors will be marked red in the log.

    No extension cables. Just plug in and not working. Went to the Logitech site to find drivers. Did a few searches in flatpak and installed some packages and still nothing worked.

    I have since moved back to Win11 and enjoy the plug and play aspect in my gaming. I tried using Mint to see if it's ready for someone like me in 2024.

    Unfortunately for Linux to be prime time, it can't expect someone to diagnose problems or worse, try and understand command lines. The second someone has to read a markdown, it's not ready.

    While I love the meme, Linux is doing pretty good recently

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago
