I grew up on macOS, until a few years ago where I actually had my own personal computer for the first time, which had windows pre installed, so i used that and like it a lot more than macOS, i just felt so much more free, and the general workflow felt more intuitive to me, then, early this year, i switched to Linux and there’s no way in hell I’ll ever go back. In just a couple months I learned more about how computers worked than I did over something like 12 years of using computers as a teen. It’s really crazy to me how once you get something set up on Linux, it just works, and all of the documentation is open and detailed!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something that, after you had it, you immediately wanted another?
0·10 months agoIf I had to take a guess, it’s probably from the voltage of the battery, if you have a volt meter/multimeter you can test out how the batteries work before putting them in

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Steam Link VR for Meta Quest on Linux now appears to work in the latest updatesEnglish
6·10 months agoNo way! I’ll have to try this when I get home! I’ve been using alvr with mediocre success so if steam link works I’ll be so happy

7·10 months agoI’d actually argue that my usage is correct here, it’s probably a regional thing but imo, set up means the verb of setting something up, whereas setup is a noun referring to a specific way that something was set up

121·10 months agoAs much as I hate to admit it, I asked ChatGPT, because like you, I couldn’t find any good tutorials/guides about setting it up, ultimately ChatGPT gave me exactly the information I needed, if you need some help I can send a template config thingy later

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Steam Linux Client Update - September 9thEnglish
0·10 months agoPlasma just has so much qol settings built into it. The only thing I’m missing is remote access, for whatever reason I can either get unattended access where the mouse and keyboard work, but the whole screen is white, or I get attended access, where I have to press a button on the computer to allow access

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hypothetical-- you can only choose two cuisines to eat for the rest of your life. What might they be?
0·10 months ago1: something East Asian; Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Thai. I’d be happy with any of them, I just can’t decide.
2: something Hispanic/South American, basically just Mexican food.
With any two in those categories there’s enough variety for me to spend my life eating
My neck hurts like hell if I tilt my head to the right, no idea why

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?
0·11 months agoYep! I wrote this post right at the start of my search, so I didn’t realize a lot of cameras had detachable cables since mine definitely doesn’t!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?
0·11 months agoOoooo, this looks really promising! I’m a little sketched out by the low price, it seems like a too good to be true kind of thing, but I might actually go with this! I’ll let this post simmer for a bit longer to see if there’s anything else that’s just perfect, but this might take the cake!

0·11 months agoThat does look quite impressive! Probably out of my budget for now but I’ll keep that in mind if I feel like I need something with every bell and whistle!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone have suggestions for buying a webcam?
0·11 months agoHmmm, I have an old iPhone 5 that might do the trick, @[email protected] was suggesting something similar with my actual phone, but using this might work out, I’ll have to test it in a few minutes after the battery has charged a little
Edit: Looks like it’s actually broken beyond belief, the touchscreen barely works and the home button doesn’t at all. Definitely a no go.

0·11 months agoI currently have an iPhone, which has some similar things to DroidCam, but I’d rather not use it like that. On that note, https://vdo.ninja/ is a cool website. The GoPro knock off idea might be good, it looks like the Apemans are sold out right now, but I might try something similar if I don’t get any better suggestions. Thank you!


Dude! That looks AMAZING! There’s a local Ramen shop kinda nearby my house, I might head there tomorrow
