Inter is great, I’ve been using it (TTF hinted) as my UI font for years and it renders very sharply. I’m on Debian and KDE Plasma

It’s not made by Google though, it’s this guy, Rasmus Andersson

I’ve always used XFS on spinning drives and F2FS on SSDs. No issues, they’re very solid

Soulseek is good. It’s a peer-to-peer sharing service, so you can just choose who to download from rather than waiting in a queue. You can find things in FLAC if you want it, or in various lossy qualities.

Were you watching 4K77 and 4K83 with Digital Noise Reduction? The movies are distributed in two versions, one with film grain and the other with DNR.

I’m not familiar with exactly what you mean, does it not require a password to boot that way? I have full-disk encryption on my laptop but not with TPM, grub just prompts me for a password before the kernel boots

What it sounds like you want is only your home folder encrypted, where it decrypts seamlessly upon login. It sounds like you have encrypted OS root, which is more secure but necessarily requires a password before the system gets to the login screen.

Other than reinstalling your system, you do have the option of either making your decryption password shorter, and/or enabling auto-login after boot (if you’re the computer’s only user), so you’d only have to type one password instead of two.

Nice! What graphics card do you have? AMD generally works well out-of-the-box, but if you have NVidia you may need to install drivers

I’m not sure if it meets all your requirements, but Dolphin has a dual-panel mode if you press F3 and has lots of other configuration options as well

If the computer boots but you can’t access a GUI, use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to open a console. From there you can use nano to edit the login manager configuration. If you had GNOME installed, your login manager is probably GDM, and its config should be at /etc/gdm/daemon.conf, according to the manual. If that is the case, it looks like you should erase the username under the entry “AutomaticLogin=”.

If I understand correctly, the filesystem driver is contained within the kernel for all linux-native filesystems (Ext4, XFS, BtrFS, F2FS, etc.), just as drivers for computer components and devices are. But drivers to access NTFS (Windows) and HFS+ (Mac OS) drives are programs in userspace

can’t link here due to rule 3

Debian. Huge repository, no bullshit, and basically any software for Linux is packaged/compatible with it.

AFAIK, the port on your router is irrelevant as the VPN bypasses it. I’m not familiar with ProtonVPN, but with PIA you can get a forwarded port in the VPN app and specify that port in your P2P application. I use that method for Soulseek, but my qBittorrent works correctly in both directions without doing anything special.

Hate speech is an actual problem for online entities to deal with. “Cancel culture” is a slightly vague term that usually refers to applying social pressure to disassociate from someone. This can obviously be good or bad depending on what it’s about, but the term is typically only used by right-wingers when said pressure is applied to them.

I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices

The backend should be the same (Freetype)… only difference I can think of is that GNOME uses Wayland by default while KDE defaults to X11 and offers Wayland as an option. Do you have a HiDPI screen?

fuck off. how many accounts have you made on tchncs.de to keep posting garbage like this?

piracy is not that deep… the OS doesn’t really matter in this case as what you’re concerned about is the ISP, not anything in your own PC. if you don’t have a VPN, your ISP could send letters bugging you for downloading stuff. you’d probably have to get dozens of letters before the ISP would cancel your service.

just get a VPN for $5/month and you don’t have to worry about it.

I would highly recommend using a Wine manager program such as PlayOnLinux. You can have each program in its own virtual drive and can use different wine versions and tweaks for each program. It’ll manage the wine versions in the app so you don’t have to install it systemwide.

Also check out https://appdb.winehq.org and https://protondb.com for compatibility, tweaks, etc. for each program.

hmm, not sure… i’ve heard it referred to as “wined3d”? when i had a non-vulkan card it usually wouldn’t try to run vulkan so i didn’t have to mess with it. what result does disabling dxvk have?

in steam you can put PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 in the launch options, but this doesn’t help for non-steam games
