Linux Mint and Steam
  • And how is that relevant in a post about "Linux Mint and Steam"?

  • Linux Mint and Steam
  • In Mint most people recommend installing Steam directly from the website as .deb. There are dozens of informative threads on the official forums, which also explain some differences of the installation method, for example: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=427582

    Also Valve's guide on how to use Steam with an NTFS disk (which I assume you're using) can be found here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Using-a-NTFS-disk-with-Linux-and-Windows

  • Display up/downvote count in Firefox (solved)
  • No I haven't, I don't have Firefox installed. Yes it probably is, well then I just have to live with it or use a different app. Thanks!

  • Display up/downvote count in Firefox (solved)

    Thank you for this beautiful app!

    I have a minor issue I cannot seem to resolve - the upvote/downvote count vanishes immediately after reloading the page. I am using Librewolf (that is based on Firefox) and I have tried to disable uBlock Origin entirely but I can't get it to display correctly. Anyone else ran into this and found a solution? Thanks!

    Image attached how it looks for me.

    EDIT: Thank you for the responses, I'm not entirely sure what I did, but now it's working as intended. I'm very happy about that because Photon rocks!

  • Thank you so much for introducing me to Liz Climo, I love her work and keep sending it to friends since I've found it.

  • escaping windows/macOS and want to get work done? here's my list of dos and dont's
  • first off, do you realize where we’re at? normies don’t frequent lemmy

    No need to be passive aggressive, but if you think all people on lemmy are so tech savvy, then why post it here?

  • Contribute to Linux projects as non techie
  • Maybe you can also find open source communities in your area. After some digging, I was surprised how many groups there are in my area and they are always happy to get additional hands to organize stuff or run errands etc.

  • Are we allowed to ask for recommendations here?
  • Sure it's allowed, but we have these questions a lot, so some enthusiasts made some really great posts with tons of info, for example:

    https://lemmy.ml/post/12123645

    https://lemmy.ml/post/18268622

    I'd recommend to read through them, then come back and ask more specific questions.

  • Because it was nowhere to be found after the teleport.

    No seriously, I remember that too, but I think it was a photon.

  • Live Linux distro list?
  • For all those suggesting Bazzite, Ublue (including Bazzite) images are offline installers only, see: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/couldnt-get-aurora-into-test-mode-in-live-usb/4567

  • I had a similar issue on a Dell Latitude a few weeks ago, with installing Mint though. The problem there was that it had an entry in the BIOS that was called something like "Windows Boot Loader". So Mint could find the OS with the Live USB, but not when starting the Laptop. Turned out, only unchecking that entry didn't do the trick, I had to delete it in the BIOS and that worked by clicking into the entry, then a button would appear that let me delete it. I only ran into that solution by chance. Maybe you can check the BIOS for any sorts of entries like that. Please let us know how it goes.

  • Yeah Waydroid doesn't support these yet sadly.

  • Waydroid not working? You don't happen to have an Nvidia card, do you?

  • What Distro should i hop to? Gaming and Development. Moderate Configure complexity.
  • I really like Mint, but I wouldn't say it "has relatively up-to-date updates".

    First thing that came to mind was Fedora, if you are willing to try an immutable distro I highly recommend Bazzite, but tinkering has its limits there.

  • Linux middle ground?
  • I didn't say it was. I posted the quote from the website to clarify.

  • Linux middle ground?
  • From their website:

    "Update on Your Terms

    Pop!_OS provides the latest features and security patches through rolling updates and periodic OS version upgrades, to be performed at your discretion. And if you want a clean slate, the Refresh Install feature resets your OS while preserving the files in your Home folder. "

    Subnautica - Time Capsule Galore

    This is near Lifepod 19, where I found a time capsule next to the pod. Then I turned around and was surprised by finding three more in one place!

    I hope all these survivors could pay their bills and actually return to earth...

    Lemmy keeps logging me out

    I have an account on lemmy.ml and two days ago it started logging me out of the website whenever I close the browser tab or browser. This behaviour does not occur on other websites where I choose to stay logged in. So my browser functionality is working as intended.

    Has anything changed on Lemmy, cause it used to work for years? Anything I can do?

    Image viewer that remembers last visited image (Linux)

    I'm looking for a FOSS image viewer on Linux that remembers the last visited image or lets me set a bookmark of some sort. Pix for example has the preference "Go to last visited location" - but that is just the folder, not the image itself. But I have folders with lots and lots of images that I work through day by day and it's tedious to find the one where I left off at the previous day.

    Or is there another way of doing it that I'm just not thinking of?

    Edit: BIG facepalm moment: I usually open the respective folder to continue working on my files. But if I simply open Pix, it remembers exactly where I left off last time. So it actually does what I was looking for, I was just not using it correctly. Thanks for all the recommendations though.
