    How are you launching the exe with WINE? Try doing it via the command line if you aren't already. That way you may get some more information about why it isn't working. Its as simple as wine path/to/your/exe

    You could also try something like Bottles, which will let you use possibly newer versions of WINE without modifying your system's WINE.

    I've also had trouble with automatic MTP mounts in GNOME. Try a program called gMTP, I use it for mp3s but I think it can do regular files as well.

    Hey everyone, I wanted to use Neovim for writing SystemVerilog, but found that there were very few examples or discussions around how to get common plugins like lspconfig, nvim-lint, and nvim-treesitter working together. After building a configuration that works for me, I thought I would share it as an example for others in the future. You can find it here: https://github.com/thecooldaniel/nvim-config-systemverilog Hope it helps someone and feedback/contribution is very welcome.

    I really enjoyed this one, thank you for sharing. Where are you sourcing these from? Any recommendations?

    Thanks again.

  • Accidentally uninstalled an important package in Debian Sid with KDE, transparency no longer working

    Are you on BTRFS? If so maybe you could restore to a snapshot prior to the apt upgrade?

    I'm not very familiar with Debian, but perhaps there are official "groups" of packages that comprise a set of softwares, like KDE. Perhaps you could re-install that group, if it exists?

    You could also create a new user, log in as that user, and see if the issue persists. If so then you'll know it's a system wide issue. If not, then maybe you could migrate to the new user?

    Good luck!

    I can't help with your specific problem, but in the past when trouble shooting my own GRUB problems on Fedora this was use useful: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/grub2-bootloader/

    Specifically the 'grubby' application might be of help. Good luck!

    Is it only me, or do you find all those "I deleted Windows"-posts annoying too?

    I really like them, along with all the other repetitive types of posts people make. For people who have been using Linux awhile, or have been a part of this community (or any Linux community really) they get a bit old, sure, but each new post is an opportunity for other new Linux users to learn and contribute.

    I think sequestering discussion like this into nicely planned neat boxes like sticky threads or weekly discussions is harmful in the long term. While it may keep the posts in this community "clean" I believe it will reduce interest and turn away fresh blood.

    I think those of us who have been using Linux awhile should embrace these posts and view them as opportunities to mentor, and as opportunities to continue to stoke the fires of interest in Linux.

  • Inexcusable Fedora caveats after Arch (rant)

    I think you are suffering culture-shock. The type of user and as a result the overall community around Fedora are far different than Arch's, which I think might explain some of the pain points you have discovered. Not giving Fedora a pass here, they could do better (especially the missing Xorg issue), but to me it seems rather clear that your expectations and the way you started with Fedora are at odds with the majority of its users.

    The AUR and the ArchWiki are phenomenal, and I don't think any distro including Fedora can compete.

    [Edit] I'd like to add one thing: I think the community around a distro really determine the quality of the experience with that distro at the edges. I daily drive Fedora because I like that there is an organization behind updates and stability. However I think that has a chilling effect on community contributions, so while you get a stable core, you miss out things only a passionate and active community can provide.
