Ladybird is slowly being worked on but I doubt we'll see people daily driving it for a few years yet.
I wouldn't worry too much about Mozilla when it comes to Firefox at least. As long as they keep up with the backend then forks can clean the crud off.

You would hope so but some chromium forks still try maintain their own ad blockers. And I've seen people just jump between what ones still work, or those few who just give up on ad-blocking all together.

Yeah I wasn't expecting to make most of the money back, But if I can get a bit then it's still money towards something I will use.

Too many driver issues, couldn't get Wayland working despite new drivers supposedly working with it.

You just got me to remember something about a Vulkan package when I first installed Steam so gonna find the AMD package for that. Thanks!
I just got hold of an AMD RX7800 XT to replace my current Nvidia RTX3080. I'm likely overthinking this but from what I understand I should just be able to swap the cards then uninstall the Nvidia drivers correct? I'm running EndeavourOS which I installed with the option to include the Nvidia drivers by default so dunno if that changes anything? I've been daily driving Linux for exactly a year as of this month but I still kinda feel like a newbie sometimes lmao. Thanks in advance! (Update) I got my AMD card installed and loaded up Wayland with no issues, only thing I had to install was the AMD Vulkan drivers for Steam.

Just note it works with ANY Winamp skin you just have to install them manually, My install I got from the AUR has the skins folder located /usr/share/audacious/Skins/
You can find most classic skins here! they are obviously very low resolution and don't think people are making HD winamp skins these days...

Pretty much just a different GUI, If you ever used Notepad++ it's the same as that.

Notepadqq is basically an exact clone of Notepad++ but native on Linux.
I used it for a good while before recently switching to Kate.

I mean the first consoles I looked to emulate were consoles I used to play so PS1/2, PSP etc
I was never much of a Nintendo guy but Dolphin has been a gold standard of emulators for me. A lot of features I was begging to get on PCSX2 for years were already on Dolphin, mainly per-game configuration.

I think there's just people that trust Valve more than Linux in general.
SteamOS on the deck is extremely foolproof, and people who are otherwise scared of Linux seem to think SteamOS magically fixes every perceived issue with desktop Linux.
That's my best guess but I'm just some dude.

Been using LibreWolf for a few months and before that just regular Firefox with the ArkenFox user.js.
Basically the exact same experience just with the peace of mind I won't end up with some weird Ai crap after an update.

I'm gonna hope it's a troll.
But some people are really weird about "owning" games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price...
And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.

As long as they keep supporting the framework for Firefox we'll still get working forks like LibreWolf.
Hopefully Ladybird starts picking up more in the next few years...

One of my Aussie mates has a theory them not getting the Steamdeck is payback for the Australian Government forcing Valve to offer refunds.

It's also near impossible to get real controllers here in the UK.
PS3 controllers still remain my favourite but had to switch to using a PS4 pad after getting scammed at multiple places.

I used to use ArcMenu back when I ran Gnome on PopOS and I remember you could switch the layout between a lot of different menu styles.
Wasn't just the Win7 style one.
So a while back I threw Ubuntu 22 LTS on an old Surface Pro 3 and gave it to my Dad. He loves it, but he's the type who's been burnt by updating software in the past, so he basically refuses any whenever prompted. Been thinking about throwing Debian with Gnome on it for a while, and wondering if it's stable enough to just let updates happen automatically in the background? I got no experience with Debian I basically jumped right on EndeavourOS as my main distro when I started using Linux full time.

About a week late to post this but someone could probably use this info. This is a community made patch to fix serious issues playing Black Ops 3 online everything from stuttering in menus to RCEs, it's basically a requirement even if you're just playing zombies with friends. The latest version no longer requires you to run an exe along side the game and is officially supported on Linux now.
I've been on Linux for close to a year but I'm still kinda a newbie and the past 40 something hours have been really testing me. I had my 4tb backup HDD break on me in a strange way, it still mounts and at first glance seems to still be working, But KDE throws an error saying the drive won't mount (even tho it is?) and I'm unable to copy files from it using Gui or Term commands it just freezes up without throwing an error message, It also freezes after using Ls more than once or twice on it. Now last night I used clonezilla to copy the entire drive to a portable HDD of the same size, now that drive is giving me the same issue. So I'm assuming it's a software issue and not the drive itself? at least for the 2nd drive. I already tried fsck to no avail and I'm abit stumped on where to go from there. Any help would be great! Edit: Should also add the drives EXT4 Update: At the directions of a Gentoo nerd I know. I'm currently in a live boot of Ubuntu copying files to another drive and they seem to be working so far. Part of the issue might with my few month old install of Endeavour, But I'm still gonna replace the drive. I already paid for a new on. Another Update: I was able to recover the majority of my files to other drives by running an Ubuntu live USB and copying them over on that, So seems something on my main install was preventing me from copying files? Either way the drive itself is still done for and I got two others on the way to replace it, I've also reinstalled my distro as I was having some bugs with it anyway.
I got this Harley Benton DC Junior a few years ago and it's been my main axe since. Only issue is it has the worse tuning stability of any guitar I've owned, Not only going out of tune but getting it to correct pitch can be spotty in the first place. Any ideas for replacement tuning machines? I've already replaced the nut with a graphtech one a while back and it only slightly helped when tuning up. I also don't mind drilling new screw holes if need be.
I just got Deck a few days ago. At first I was trying to sync files (Minecraft worlds, Gamesaves etc) using Syncthing but my WiFi was too spotty for it to work consistently and kept disconnecting. It also makes downloading games take forever, I can download a 30gb game in around 2+ hours on my wired desktop but it took almost half a day to download the same game on my Deck. I eventually found DeckMTP which lets you just copy files over USB C like you would do on your phone. But even after switching my Bios USB setting to DRD it still wouldn't connect to my Linux desktop. Apparently some SteamDeck bios update broke the DeckMTP plugin? But I'm finding a lot of conflicting information on the cause and solutions online, People saying it still works fine or that I have to update the bios manually or downgrade it to a previous version. Please tell me someone here knows what's going on? Thanks in advance!
(Bonus update) I'm back on KDE6 and it's actually working! I ran Cinnamon for about a day before missing KDE and tried a fresh install of EndeavourOS. It worked fine, Wayland still doesn't work but I'm only getting minor bugs with x11 compared to when I tried to update from 5.27 (Update) Well finally back on my desktop but sadly not on my original install, Thanks for all the help and advice! Sadly every path just sent me into another brick wall, I'm starting to think my drive itself is physically failing as I couldn't mount it in chroot and even had trouble reformatting it...I'll keep an eye on it and not save anything important to it. I've decided I'm just not cut out for vanilla Arch just yet and gone back to Endeavour but this time with Cinnamon (for now) Thanks again! After upgrading to KDE 6 and experiencing too many bugs for it to be useable for me I went back to a snapshot I made right before upgrading. Now I've spent half my Friday tracking down different systemctl errors and trying to fix corrupted conf files from live USB environments, physically unplugged all but my nvme boot drive. Rn I'm in a situation where I'm getting [FAILED] Failed to mount /boot. See 'systemctl status boot.mount' for details [DEPEND] Dependency failed for Local File System. Then it's asking to give root password or press control-D, which I've dealt with before but this time my keyboard just doesn't work I tried to just sort it myself reading the Arch Wiki before begging for help on forums but I'm kinda at my wits end, This is a pretty new Arch installed and the first time using btfs on my main drive, I last updated maybe 4 days ago before today. I've also successfully restored from timeshift snapshots on this install before without issues. Any help where to go from here would be great, thanks in advance.
(Solution) I was missing [lib32-libpulse](https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-libpulse/) from my install, I guess it was a default on EndeavourOS and that's why I never knew about it. I have both my monitors in-build speakers disabled within KDEs audio panel and have my FiiO USB DAC set as the default audio output. But games running through Lutris are still outputting audio through my monitor and won't detect my DAC, even cycling through the outputs in game won't show the correct one. I've tried forcing the audio output using the Wine Configuration panel on Lutris and it seems to do nothing. This is on a fresh Arch install using pipewire, I never had this issue running the same games with the same system setup on Pop_OS or EndeavourOS. Hopefully someone has a fix, Thanks in advance!
Belfast Doom trio I got turned onto a few years back and can't get enough of! Sadly missed my last opportunity to catch them live, hopefully it'll get to soon! Album is Future Echo Returns
I've been collecting vinyl for about 2 years but only got the turntable last week, but my existing USB headphone amp didn't work with it so I grabbed a Fosi tube headphone amp which sounds great! The Monolord LP was the first vinyl I got as an impulse purchase when I saw the band live, I'm finally able to spin it up :)
I've been playing Black Ops 3 through Proton just fine until a few days ago some of the [textures mainly transparent ones like glass turned bright white](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/237048320588120066/1182010147472683018/72Noefx.jpg), It happened after I switch from running the game on GE-Proton 8-9 to 8-25. I've tried everything I could think of, switching back to 8-9 and regular Proton Experimental, manually clearing the vulkan cache and even reinstalling the whole game after making sure no files were left over. Any ideas how to fix this? I am using an Nvidia GPU, which is normally the cause of my problems...
I've been using Krusader for a few months after looking for something similar to Double Commander which I used years ago, It's been mostly great but I've been having a few issues mainly when transferring or archiving larger files. I've found making zip & tar archives with in Krusader takes a lot longer than doing so in Dolphin, Also I've recently been having issues when trying to copy or move large amounts of data to separate drives, last night I had a transfer fail on me twice then take a lot longer than expected when I finally fixed that issue. I've already looked back at double commander and some of it's forks but stuff like most of them lacking a dark mode has been putting me off using them regularly. I'd ideally like it to be Qt based to it fits my KDE theming, But running a GTK program isn't a deal breaker for me. Any advice or ideas would be great thanks in advance!
