So it is kind of like the equivalent of GetApp and Mi Store, just like on Mi phones. Many users also recieved similar spammy notifications on newer Xiaomi product, and removing it was a pain with adb shell, because sometimes the phones would be bricked. There were also other bloatwares/spywares like ad-infested lockscreen and file manager. See the uncanny resemblance?

Have you tried using LibreJS with uBlock? Thr only issue is that LibreJS is very aggressive, and websites stop working.

1. I’ve decided to take a break for now. It would not be that easy to leave. Most of my personal repo use Nix flakes, and I’m guilty of making other project maintainers adopt flakes for dev shell.

2. I’ll personally message you a hint. I don’t want to doxx anyone, so forgive me for the cryptic message. It’s not a anime-themed profile, however.

3. Actually I never wanted to make this post. But as I said before, I don’t want to unnecessarily doxx anyone or confront them. I also really don’t care if some person is rude. But my gripe is with people who give answers, that aren’t “answers”, and then add a few personal opinions that don’t let others to participate in the discussion.

That is interesting. I thought that both Proton and WINE are identical forks and a monolith of all the feature offered by a front-end app that uses them, just that one is maintained by Steam, and the other by an open-source community. The DXVK stuff you’ve shared is new information to me, because I thought that WINE included that by default.

GOG.com was formerly known as Good Old Games. It is a digital distribution platform for games and movies. It is a subsidiary of CD Projekt. Games on GOG are DRM-free.

I’ve started making some progress on GNOME Boxes using Guix, and this would definitely come in handy.

Oh yes, I could definitely do that, but Enhanced Edition has a few goodies, like two expansion packs, and a few game balancing tweaks. Also because it is quite recent, I think it would be for the better to stick to the latest version.

I think you’re probably using Proton, which is basically the same as running a Windows apps on WINE. I’d choose GOG over Steam due to philosophical reasons (DRM-free gaming). And also, because GOG has the Linux version. The only issue is packaging the setup dependency into multiple distros, which I’m trying to make it working on Nix for now.

• Be me, jobless in early 20s
• Owns a decently old ultra-book, can’t run any post-2010 games
• Can’t afford or play Baldur’s Gate 3
• Realizes Baldur’s Gate EE is also available on Linux
• Pirates the game (Linux edition)
• Main setup dependency unmaintained and not available on any distro?
• Sigh, pirates the game yet again (Windows edition)
• Setup Bottles
• All hail the almighty Tux

Initially, I would have gone for Guix. But the biggest hindrance is the lisp language. I’ve never used it, and coming from a C-like background, it is a radically different way to look at programming.

Another issue is the non-availability of proprietary software. I believe that there’s probably a non-free repo out there, but it may be not as large as Nix right now.

Perhaps I could start learning some basics about Guille and start my distro transition. I’ve stopped with all PRs anyway, and resume any activities starting from next month. I’ll see if I’m still comfortable with contributions. Till the time, I’ll be working on my job profile.

I’m not sure if Andy got it right, but it’s NixOS. I’m going to be taking a break from contributions anyway, there were a few pending PRs left for a library, but maybe I’ll address it next month.

Yes, you got the distro right. Getting a job isn’t easy in a populous country, and as a graduate, it is really stressful. Open source contribution is what I enjoy to make myself feel busy and not have negative thoughts, while I keep hearing rejection from recruiters. And just having another toxic person ruin the experience for me is just disheartening.

A easy workaround might be to use work profile using Island. But I don’t know how effective it is.

I’ve also seen comments in a few YouTube videos out there, that the board wifi hasn’t been fixed, has it? But the board is pretty amazing, I must say.

And then, feet pics. /s

I’ve heard about this just recently. Is this a frontend library?
