Correct, it’s less efficient than Wine, but more compatible. Adobe and Microsoft software still has issues in Wine, so a VM is the best option for them.

To explain some terms in over simplified ways:

VM = Virtual Machine = Making a virtual sandboxed computer that runs full Windows inside it.

Wine = Wine Is Not an Emulator = A translation layer that converts Windows Program Commands into Linux Program Commands.

Wine has to be crafted for every needed Windows command, in order to translate the command into something Linux can understand. So if a program is using a Windows command Wine hasn’t seen before, it’ll fail.

VMs instead run an entire OS, in this case Windows, so that we don’t have to craft every command, as Windows handles the program like normal, and then the VM provides Windows with virtual hardware to work with instead. Naturally, making pretend hardware and running an entire OS inside another OS eats up more resources, so VMs are worse than Wine in that regard.

No. If something runs in Wine, still use that. WinApp is basically a Windows VM combined with some other tools to allow Windows apps on the VM to run more seamlessly and native feeling. It makes picky apps like the Adobe and Microsoft suites happy since it’s using full Windows to run them, but this means there’s more overhead than running an app through Wine or natively.

I did find this

I would definitely recommend trying WinApps first, which that guide seems to be for. Never tried to get it running on Bazzite/SilverBlue/Universal Blue though, so can’t help you there.

Check to see if your client is in Top X mode or something. Mine defaults to Top Day and nothing shows up, but switching to Hot or something else brings up posts.

Extra balls, multipliers, God mode(although that’s mostly broken on Android)

They were in the original game as cheat codes you typed in. GitHub Android version just added buttons for them in the settings.

Makes sense, but personally I don’t care about leader boards, so I’d rather have the functionality in tact.

The GitHub version still has the cheats intact.

So you’re telling me…

Half Life 3 confirmed!

I’ve been messing with more recent open-source AI Subtitling models via Subtitle Editor which has a nice GUI for it. Quality is much better these days, at least for English. It still makes mistakes, but the mistakes are on the level of “I misheard what they said and had little context for the conversation” or “the speaker has an accent which makes it hard to understand what they’re saying” mistakes, which is way better than most YouTube Auto Transriptions I’ve seen.

Yes! I use less all the time, combine it with grep, etc.

Yeah, to this day vim still isn’t intuitive for me, so I just use nano as it’s either often included or simple to install on most Distros.

Unless a script is hardcoded for vim I haven’t had to use it.

The sad part is that the upcoming administration might be stupid enough to try and implement this.

Mostly. None of the browser extensions work on Windows, which is really annoying.

I’m wondering the same thing for Valve and Gabe Newell.

Ah, I missed that since it’s an unofficial flatpak so it wasn’t listed on their site or forums.

Haven’t tried it on Linux recently, but MakeMKV still supports Linux apparently. You have to build it yourself though.

Which compositor would I be using through KDE Plasma 6?

KDE uses KWin by default, which can do both X11 and Wayland currently.

Also it’s better for Devs than buying grey market keys bought using stolen credit cards.

Another issue I’ve had with Snaps is just increased boot times. Something to do with mounting all the virtual images involved or something, makes boot take noticeably longer. I’ve tested having an Ubuntu install with Snaps, and then removed the snaps and snapd while installing the same software via Flatpak, and had a noticeable boot time improvement. Hopefully they’ve been working to improve this, but it just soured me on them even more.

As for another install method, mostly for CLI tools, but working with a lot of GUI apps too now, there’s Distrobox. It has a bit of a bloat issue, because you’re basically installing an entire extra headless Linux Distro with it, but it for example allows you to run AUR inside an Arch based Box, and then you can integrate the app you installed with AUR into the host OS, running it near seamlessly, while keeping its dependencies contained in the Box which you can easily remove. By default apps in the Box will have access to the host’s filesystem but you can mitigate this if you want. Distrobox is especially great on atomic read-only Distros, where you can’t directly touch system directories, by allowing you to install apps that expect such access from things like AUR.
