Is there anything i can do with this laptop? by undrwater in c/linux@lemmy.ml

The biggest roadblock will be whether the bootloader will allow another OS. You should be able to search xda forums for your device as a start.

Linux can be installed on ARM, no problem.

Did you read the article? Simple text and PDF readers are in the cross hairs. Apps that aren't "engaging" are in the cross hairs.

I expect developers of perfectly fine apps will have to manually vet those apps with Google.

This does not support your claim.

KDE / Qt licenses

Can you point where it's not OSS?

Depends on what the virus is built to do.

I read someone intentionally infected their Linux system with a Windows virus, and they lost the home directory.

It's where Linux really shines, to be honest. Those specs will be fine. Great learning opportunity for the students too.

[HELP] Running Spellforce 2 Shadow Wars (lemmy.world)

submitted 11 months ago by undrwater@lemmy.world to c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

3 comments fedilink

I'm attempting to run Spellforce 2, Shadow Wars from the CD's, but running into some issues.

It installed nicely enough using lutris and wine. When I attempt to run the game, however, I get the following in t the log:

wine: RLIMIT_NICE is &lt;=20, unable to use setpriorty safely
Initial process has exited (return code: 0)
All processes have quit

Not sure where to go from here. I notice it's available as part of a package of other Spellforce games from Steam, though not quite sure how they're pulling it off.

Any pointer is useful.

Thanks in advance.

Is there some FOSS or Linux native Battle Royale? by undrwater in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] undrwater@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

There's a game called bzflag which has several games modes. One might be battle Royale style.

It's tank battle, though. Still fun!

What android phones do you recommend and why? by undrwater in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] undrwater@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I was (am?) in the same dilemma. Loved my 7 pro, but someone dropped it, cracked the screen, and things started going downhill (hardware wise) from there.

As a replacement I got an 8t (still OnePlus). It's nice, but I miss the 7 pro.

OnePlus is no longer an enthusiast brand, and I think the Pixel is the only other one currently. Maybe the Nothing phone? That's kind of early adopter territory still, I think.

Sorry I'm not more helpful. I prefer phones with unlocked bootloaders that allow for alternate firmware to be installed.
