Until it is suddenly there, while you are unprepared to do anything about it.
Matrix seems like the one with most potential to develop into a 1:1 Discord alternative.
Then you have XMPP, Mattermost, RocketChat, whatever Revolt.chat renamed itself into, etc.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?
5·2 months agoYes, and so is a virtual machine. I’m thinking install Linux to disk so that it can then run directly on hardware.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?
51·2 months agoYes, this is something that should be taken into account when designing this software.
Set dual-boot as a default / design UI in a way that offers dual-boot as a preferred option.
And many other technical issues will probably appear that will have to be figured out.
But I think that at least even thinking about this is a good start.
Also, this reminds me of 2013, when people accidentally nuked their Windows installs with Linux because they wanted to get the Tux in Team Fortress 2 (Valve gave it to people who played Linux version of TF2).

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??
1·4 months agoI’m sure that there are games (either video games or IRL physical games) designed for this. Some simple “here are some possible instructions, use them to achieve some goal” thing.
Something like described here:
https://wiredme.com/blog/active-coding-games-for-kids/
But I am interested in knowing more examples of such games. Is there any Wikipedia article for this category of games? Is there any list with more of them described?

https://libregamewiki.org/ also looks like something relevant.Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
3·11 months agoIt does work, I have been using it for a long time now in context of my interest of using a phone as a PC.
https://xdaforums.com/t/phone-as-a-pc.4633441/Thing is that with just termux, you get just the android/termux environment.
There is a way to get more familiar Linux environments running on your phone by using proot from within termux.
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot
For example, using that you can install ARM version of Manjaro, which is basically the same thing that you would run on Raspberry Pi.
But everything in there runs a bit slower, because Proot is some layer that takes up a bit of performance.
Benefit of that is that you can run some Linux software that is not found within Termux packages, but is available in the repositories of other distros. Libreoffice is one such example.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is this video a legitimate way to get Linux on LineageOS via Termux or is there a better recent method?
2·11 months agoLineageOS 22.2 (on FP4) does not seem to have that option yet.
At least, it is not listed in the developer options.
You can find it if you tap on the search button within developer options (or just general settings, as that also includes results from developer options) and type “terminal” or “linux”.
The(Experimental) Run Linux terminal on Androidresult shows up.
But after you tap on that, you see that toggle is greyed out. Can’t be enabled.I am interested in getting that to work, so any help is appreciated.
There is hopefully some ADB command or something that forcefully enables Linux environment.

Impressive. Always nice to see more interoperability.
Also, I fail to see how second link has anything to do with Bluesky federation.Oh, I see, that specific reply is from Bridgyfed.
