yeeeaaa, technically it should be as easy as installing wine and then just running exes, but wine doesnt install some fonts/dependencies by default (which is the whole reason lutris/bottles/proton exists) and may not have all the necesary api calls for some apps, pain in the arse, can we just get user friendly wine plzzz
hey fl studio runs fairly well in wine, ive done full projects with some third party plugins and it was usuable, only issue was lowered performance andvitall’s graphics were flickering
why dont we just put uefi on phones
wilma balls fit in yo mouth hey gottem
what we really need on phones and by extension arm devices is a unified bootloader, something akin to a bios or uefi (which btw already exists on arm but manufacturers are choosing to not go with it for some reason)
homer? i hardly know 'er
do plugins that run on wine count?
i am of the opinion that applications on linux need some work, flatpak would be perfect for this however it doesn’t have a good user friendly permissions system, it’s a pain in the ass to install applications on non-system drives (which is a much bigger pain for native packages btw) and wine needs to be more user friendly in terms of prefix management, yes we have lutris and bottles but those feel like superglue to wine itself, im genuinely on the verge of learning C and doing all of this myself since that’s most of what’s holding me back from linux
literally just run the setup/game exe through lutris or bottles, then add the shortcut to steam
that is unless you’re running disk encryption, in which case your data (and in most cases your OS) is safe from unauthorized access, although there is not much to stop them just wiping it or running their own os on it lol
technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it’ll work just fine under wine
at least you have someone cool and close to you in your life
not yet, if you want to push yourself a little bit you could create your own community for it
i happen to still mostly use windows media player on windows 10 LTSC, in my opinion it looks better and runs much better than whatever regular windows has nowadays
of course VLC exists too and is mostly superior, but it doesnt have the cool visualisations for music :(
i believe fedora has this by default
hey windows aero looked amazing, especially for its time, shame we dont get that option on modern windows but hey at least we’re getting closer to replicating it on linux
yea, im still hoping that vlemmy’s just having some major technical issues and will come back soon but judging by some evidence (mainly the donation/github pages being deleted), i dont know if that’ll ever happen
little bit tricky, was only on there for a few weeks but in that time i managed to subscribe to 50 communties and host one, now i gotta redo all of that again which is a minor pain in the ass
if this isnt sarcasm, it all boils down to the user experience, most people just want to use an OS and run apps that they want to run as easily and quickly as possible
