Last year I would have said Arch. I have been running it for over 15 years with some small breaks to try stuff, or with some machines that have company issued OS. But I have been toying with NixOS, and honestly I’m loving it. If I had to choose only one and couldn’t change it it would have to be Arch, I know I can get 5 years with it easily, but if I was setting a new system today it would almost assuredly be NixOS, I might regret that 3 years down the line when there’s something I can’t get to work, but the more I play around, the less likely I think that would be, and the more comfortable I feel that I will eventually migrate to NixOS fulltime

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sunshine and Moonlight - Bring Your Desktop's Power On the Go
4·10 days agoFor this to work you need a display to send through the network, but that display needs not be a physical one. So depending on your definition it can be run headless. If you meant without it being plugged to a display then yes, if you meant without having graphical stack installed then no (there would be no point to streaming display without a display).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sunshine and Moonlight - Bring Your Desktop's Power On the Go
2·10 days agoIt works brilliantly on my Linux host with a 7800 XT, I think you might have an unrelated issue.
Astro A50 that I got from work. It sucks, every once in a while it just refuses to work and I need to plug it into my wife’s Windows PC to update the firmware to get it to work again. Audio and mic quality are okay, but that issue makes me definitely not recommend it for Linux users.

Europe@feddit.org•Traffic jams are bleeding the Romanian economy dryEnglish
4·12 days agoMath is not adding up, there are 365 days in a year, removing weekends that’s 261 days. In Romania you have 20 days of AL guaranteed by law, plus there are 17 holidays but some fall on weekends so let’s say 10, for a total of 231 work days a year.
A work day is 8 hours, so 5 working days a year are 40 hours per year. Dividing by the amount of days of work it’s 0.17h or 10:30minutes, considering people commute two ways that’s 5:15 minutes per trip stuck in jams.
Sure, annoying, but definitely not economy shattering. But if they think so, maybe let people work from home, it would diminish the amount of cars on the road, and completely eliminate jams for some of the people.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black?
1·13 days agoOne curious thing if you understand this is to think on purple. Purple is blue+red, but like you pointed out 2 colors should give you the average wavelength, which in the case of blue+,red should be green. So why the hell do we see purple as something different? Well, that’s because humans have 3 sensors for colors, roughly corresponding to Red, Green and Blue, triggering both Blue and Red without triggering green at the same time gets interpreted differently than green, even though it shouldn’t. Which means that purple is not a color, but rather a mind trick your brain plays on you.
Sort of, you can install it as a PWA and it is local first.

4·16 days agoThat review is no longer there, probably someone reported it. I think lots of these suffer from bystander effect, where people see it get indignant about being there but don’t report them, so they stay there.

Games@lemmy.world•Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewardingEnglish
12·29 days agoWhile I understand what you’re talking about, I would argue it’s bad metaprogression that you dislike. I liked Rogue Legacy when I first played, but didn’t enjoy the second one even though it’s essentially the same. Let me give you an example of good metaprogression: Dead Cells.
There’s the metaprogression that allows you access to new areas and new mechanics, but that’s fairly quick compared to the length of the rest of the progression, and I would argue it’s not the sort of thing you’re complaining about.
What could be similar is the way you unlock equipment, although you don’t become stronger with each run, you unlock more weapons. This gives you variety, but the vast majority of the progression happens in your head. If you have enough hours in Dead Cells and think the metaprogression is what made you so good at the game that you couldn’t finish one level when you started and now you play for hours, do me a favor and start a new save. After being on the second cell I bought the game for a different platform, on my first run I got to the first cell.
Which brings me to the second metaprogression in the game, cells. They make the game harder, not easier, and it’s the way to progress, you have to purposefully make the game harder to progress. IMO this is how metaprogression is supposed to be done, you need to be better, and when you think you’re good enough to beat the game it lets you know “you’ve only just started”.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If you had native-level fluency in a language, and don't talk in that language for a while, can you develop an accent later-on when trying to talk in that language again?
3·30 days agoYes, I speak 3 languages fluently and have accents in all of them.

Games@lemmy.world•Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?English
2·1 month agoSure, but that’s more about Valve not pursuing violations than anything else (in other comment I also mentioned how they turn a blind eye to Humble Bundle as well). But legally they could go after silent hill f and demand it be sold for a similar value to $31.49 since some time has passed and stem users have not been offered a comparable offer. I think what’s in the clause they make people sign is more important than whether they enforce it or not, because if it was about price parity with other stores then it would be abusive (even if they didn’t enforced it always), but if it is about selling something they provide then it’s not abusive even if they do enforced it always.

6·1 month agoThat’s not true, it only applies if you’re selling a steam key. Devs are free to set the price on any platform they want, want proof? Check out the currently free game on epic which has never been free on Steam.
Steam provides developers with infinite steam keys that they can sell outside of steam for 100% profit, however those keys cannot be sold at a lesser price than what it’s sold on steam. Which honestly sounds like common sense.
If you’re going to use Arch you should use Arch. One of the biggest advantages for Arch is the AUR which can cause many issues on Arch based distros that are not Arch.
That being said, for a media center, if you’re not used to, I wouldn’t go with Arch, Debian is a much better choice since you’re already used to it and should be good for that use case.
