The solution is install with apt.
I checked on my machine, and out of all the packages I had on snap, only Inkscape, VLC and Slack were also available on apt. Spotify, Whatsdesk (a WhatsApp client) and Signal were among the most commonly used missing.
I think it’s even simpler than that: they want a share of Google’s data, and more control about what ads they can show to their customers constantly. Their hardware platforms are okayish and sold for a quite low price, but they monetize it on ads.
I get my comics on getcomisc.org or Soulseek. The first one has good sources and a few collections, although nothing I'd call an actual "bulk". With Soulseek you can download the batches of your choice.
But there already is a device that answer that specific need, so it wouldn’t make sense for the Raspberry 5 to replace it.
Isn’t the Pi 3B still available for that kind of job?
I see no reason to use Matlab in education nowadays: both Octave and Python provide as many features, are as easy to use, and free. The teacher could have verified or made his class accessible through Octave with minimal effort, as OP pointed out. But they wouldn’t be bothered and required all the students in their class to buy a 70€ license each.
Good to know! Which version of Solus are you using? Although it doesn’t seem to really matter as I don’t think any of them are really dedicated to gaming.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll take a look, that’s also the kind of information that is extremely relevant regarding a full switch.
Btw, do you know if there are any DX12 features still missing from Proton/DXVK?
I don’t understand why, but I don’t see your message on the post, only in my notifications. Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
Why “no thanks”?
Because I have a powerful enough desktop to run games that I would be streaming then. It takes away some of the rights I have regarding my collection of games and creates a need that I did not have. I also just bought an NVIDIA GPU, I won’t buy a new one to be able to switch to Linux.
“Many” -> citation needed.
On two different computers running Ubuntu, my DELL monitor was not correctly recognized. I had to switch from Wayland to Xorg and define the actual monitor resolution through xrandr - not impossible, just quite annoying. Similarly, my Logitech G403’s buttons to change the sensitivity never have never worked correctly on Ubuntu, and there is no official Logitech software to make them work. Those buttons are just not seen by an Ubuntu computer.
- Performance.
That’s one I didn’t think of! Although I don’t think backgrounds services impact that much performance nowadays on a higher end PC, it leaves that much more headroom to be used on the game instead. On the other hand, isn’t performance on a non-native software already impacted negatively? So all in all, which would have the greater impact?

Thanks for the recommendation! I know have examples of Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch based distros optimized for gaming. As for which to choose, I will probably get as many answers as persons I ask. And ChimeraOS seems to be a nice project, it just doesn’t fit my needs.
There’s no version for Android though, is there?
You’re right! I missed it but they updated to 0.18.2 yesterday (announcement post).
This seems to fix it only temporarily, I feel like I’ve logged out and re-logged in my lemmy.world account every day since Monday.
As someone commented on the page, this is probably some code shared to third parties to include DRM or be sold on a store. It’s incomplete and doesn’t compile. It could be used to develop mods to an extensive degree, but I’m not sure how much of it would be legal as those tools would have been written using some leaked pieces of software which belong to Ubisoft. It can supposedly not be used to guide an open-source reimplementation of the game, like what was developed for DOOM, the first Diablo game, Moerowind, etc, as per the legal terms, those reimplementations must be developed from blank page, without looking at the original source code.
Butt yeah, I think this can be useful to develop mods and tools.
First of all, welcome to Lemmy!
When confronted to that decision, I ended up thinking that I’d want a tablet that had good image quality, and a screen close enough to that of a comic to be able to see a full page comfortably. When I looked (back in 2020), the tablet market was basically divided into 3: Amazon’s Kindles, iPad and Samsung. Amazon’s are pretty low-cost, which is enough to read comics, but the screen is quite low-quality, and reading comics on a screen instead of paper is already a step-down to appreciate the art. And I prefer to avoid Apple, which left me with Samsung as pretty much the only choice. The Tab A series don’t have AMOLED, and the only advantage the Tab S6 had was to use a stylus (which I wouldn’t have bought, or even used if there had been one sold with).
So I ended up buying a Galaxy Tab S5e. 10.5" is really great to be both light and portable while big enough to display a full comic page, and the super AMOLED screen is amazing. It’s been going strong for 3 years now, and I’ve used it daily to browse the web, watch movies or series, and of course mainly to read comics. When that one gives up, I will look for a similar form factor, unless a good, large enough color e-ink tablet comes out by then, in which case that might be what I’ll pick.
As for usage, I transfer everything through FTP and store the comics in the tablet’s storage. Then I use Perfect Viewer to read them. It’s old and hasn’t been updated in a long time, but I haven’t found any other reader as convenient. I’ve read that Tachiyomi is great to read comics and manga, but it requires a specific folder organization to read comics locally, and I’m not willing to give up mine to use a reader.
You f*d up at the part where you didn’t start explaining in song, orchestra and all.
