You certainly have to learn new ways of doing things when you want to tinker, but they are basically UNBREAKABLE, which is my main plus point. I’m busy, I need my PC to be reliable. I don’t want to have to troubleshoot stuff just to keep it up and running.
If I had more time I would really enjoy the tinkering, but I don’t so I need my distro just work.
If this what works for work stuff, then more power to ya. I just hope you don’t do any personal stuff on there…
You will love it. Great for gaming, flatpaks are the standard, and local AI is easy to setup with podman.
Just be aware that installing stuff without a flatpak or appimage available can be somewhat of a pain.
It’s an amazing tool.
For your comics list, I’d suggest Dataview, quickadd, and templater plugins. With those three you could easily make a database with an entry mask, that automatically sorts the files into folders and sets metadata based on the mask input, and dynamically creates various tables for reference.
Folder notes could be useful too, depending how you want to set it up, and how detailed you want to have your tables.
Whatever you decide on, good luck. :)
This program rocks for any sort of organization.
Markdown files in folders, with all sorts of plugins for tweaking it to your use case.
But beware, Obsidian is full of rabbit holes. Don’t get distracted by shiny plugins that you don’t actually need.
I was trying so hard to get GTP4ALL to work inside of obsidian because it has this localdocs feature, where you can feed it documents and it integrates them into itself. I want the model to be aware of the whole vault, and also generate notes based on the vault contents, constantly updating.
It looks like podman desktop + chatGPG obsidian plugin is the way to go through, I’m playing around with it and it looks promising.
Haha, I wouldn’t expect anything less. But I don’t need to install the plugin…well…maybe I’ll just try it out for a few…danmit.
How about obsidian.md? It’s based on markdown, so edit mode has lots of keybindings, and there are all sorts of javascript plugins to add functionality.
In addition to rhe other advice, I’d add what helped me the most: install arch from scratch.
Use an older PC you have lying around, or just a VM. Use the installation guide on the arch wiki (or a video on feetube if you prefer to listen to a human explain stuff) and just learn as you go.
Indeed. Proton for the win yet again.
Blind trial and error, mostly. Making the game folder read-only was the real “duct-tape” part, it occued to me to do that after steam kept “updating” the game and breaking my solution.
This certainly isn’t of the same caliber as some of these other comments, but I found it to be fitting to the topic.
Last year I was having problems getting the game stellaris working on arch. (I use bazzite now, btw) My solution was the following:
If any one of those step was left out, it didn’t work. I’m no linux expert, so I didn’t have the skills to actuality find the real problem.
Another win for bazzite! I haven’t even used waydroid yet, but I’m happy to know it’s there.
Update: I turned off steam overlay, and set the in-game video setting from borderless full screen to just full screen, and that did it!
So much frustration, and such an easy fix. Ugh. But at least it’s working now. Thanks again.
I haven’t seen any hardware issues, but perhaps I’m just ignorant. I’m pretty busy with work and family generally, so I seldom dig into troubleshooting recently. I’m not even sure I’d know how to start with hardware diagnostics on an atomic distro (but that should be easy enough to find in the documentation).
I’ll try turning off steam overlay, thanks for the tip!
Thanks! I’m taking the advice of some other commenters about adding what I need without installing Gnome, which at the end of the day works apparently cause more problems that it solved.
Thank you for the detailed answer!
Based on all the answers I’ve recieved, I see that’s it’s probably best that I leave the DE alone. At the end of the day, I just need to make sure that I have the correct dependencies for the app in question. Installing the entirety of Gnome was really just my lazy fix idea.
Mozilla should approach proton to try and get accuired. I would love to see Firefox and Thunderbird become part of the proton landscape.
