It’s useful but it got me even more lost 😅

So many different standards my god.

Several windows programs won't work with Wine. Would running a Windows VM be a better option? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Even with just 8gb of Ram you can have a windows 10 vm to do the only few things you can’t on Linux. It’s gonna be really slow but if you need it once a year it’s fine.

Yeah clerk.

What’s the point on commenting on something when you know you’re gonna be the only one doing it.

So I guess a few more people would be nice on Lemmy.

While I guess what you’re saying is true, I haven’t been confronted with such things during my 1-2 years on Lemmy. It also depends on the communities you subscribe to and political ones are probably more subjected to violence than others.

I hope he can get healthy again and bring back the Nuggets to the summits as I like the fact that it’s a team built from the draft but without tanking.

Congratulations!

I also discovered that these are pretty cheap and really upgradeable while looking great.

I would never buy anything from Apple new, but old Mac Pro or MacBook Pro are really tempting.

Converted my fiancée ´s 2012 MacBook Pro to Linux two years ago and it’s a great machine which shouldn’t be collecting dust.

Is Linux As Good As We Think It Is? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Sometimes making an iThing (iPhone) work with another iThing (Fiancée ´s Apple TV) isn’t as easy as it should. Streaming the nba app from my phone to the Apple TV was a nightmare a few years ago. Now I just use my PlayStation as the nba is hostile to Linux even in a browser.

So, taking into account the fact that Linux is free and works on almost any hardware, I can only congratulate the people making Linux possible.

I’m not really into PC gaming, but the more gaming possibilities you have on Linux, the better it’ll be👍

How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Dariusmiles2123@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I love the ps5 controller but I’m now kind of scared about stick drift as one of mine had to be replaced because of it.

The second one doesn’t show any sign of this happening, but I’m not so confident anymore although Sony had never disappointed me before regarding reliability.

Loved the world, hated the story, so for me it’s clearly not a masterpiece.

Upgrading In Car Entertainment System / Screen in c/cars@lemmy.world

I never thought about everything the car multimedia system was doing except playing music and it’s true that it might be difficult to swap them now that everything is managed through them

Has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with iTunes and bottle or wine? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey everyone!

Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it.

Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone.

It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd.

If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows.

Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages.

So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?

Clonezilla , how to have smaller files ? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’m really happy to be successfully using Clonezilla which is a great tool (but not easy without a tutorial) to create backups of my Fedora and Lubuntu installations on my 3 computers.

However I have a problem while cloning my 2012 MacBook Pro.

Clonezilla create individual files which are bigger than the 50 gb limit my kDrive (swiss equivalent to Google drive) allows me to have.

With my Surface Go 1 the individual files are way smaller although the overall size of the backup is approximately the same.

How can I change that so that I can put my backups on the cloud?

Export a Gnome Boxes VM and make it "real" (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone!

I'm a happy Gnome user on Fedora 38 on my Surface Go 1. Still, as I'm not an experienced Linux user, I'd want to discover some other distros and some other DE like KDE.

I'm planning on installing a distro with KDE on Gnome Boxes, but I wanted to know if there was a way to export it and make it a real OS (no VM) at one point.

To get to the point where I had my perfect workstation installation, it took me quite some time and I wouldn't want to waste my time creating my perfect VM and not make it real at one point.

I don't know if it could be done by cloning my virtual disk with Clonezilla for instance.

I'm sorry if my question ain't clear, it's just that I may not have the right vocabulary to talk about such things.

Can’t boot Clonezilla on Surface Go 1 (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I have a Surface Go 1 with 128 gb hooked up to a usb-c screen.

I’ve installed Fedora 38 on it and I’m really happy with the whole setup. So much so that I wanted to be able to reproduce it on all my computers.

The problem is I can’t get the machine to boot from a Usb-a with usb-c adaptor or from a usb-c stick.

I’ve tried everything. I can access the uefi settings and disable secure boot and change the boot order. At first I thought it was because I was using an usb-c adapter but buying a usc-c stick didn’t change a thing.

In the past the only way I was able to boot from usb was to break my system, install windows again and go to windows recovery. I don’t want to do that again as I would want to clone my system.

For now, I’ve resorted to cloning my girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora on it, but since it’s not my daily driver, it’s not where I’m creating my perfect setup.

If anyone can help me, I’d be really grateful.

Disk image with Clonezilla question (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.

Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?

Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇

I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.

Fedora really needs a backup tool (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Fedora 38 user on my Surface Go 1.

In fact I’m so happy with it that I just wanted to clone the whole thing with Clonezilla and put it on my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro which has reached end of life support for MacOs.

Sadly on the Surface Go it’s almost impossible to boot from an USB drive (had to rely on windows recovery to do it the first time, might be usb-a to usb-c adaptor related) and I’ll really have to do a clean install on her Mac.

For such situations, I find it crazy that you don’t have an effective graphic tool to fo an easy backup. Especially because Fedora is so great for everything else.

You could say, use Timeshift, but it would mean doing some alterations I’m not at ease with as I don’t want to end up destroying the system I’m trying to backup and clone.

Does anyone know if it’s on the developers roadmap?

Installing Fedora on a 2012 MacBook Pro (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has a 2012 MacBook Pro and she can’t macOS updates anymore because it’s Applecrap.

So I’ll dualboot Fedora and MacOS. We’ll keep macOS just for a few exceptions like iPhone backup.

I already have a Fedora installation on my Surface Go 1 and I took a lot of time setting it up perfectly. Is there any way to « clone » that installation on the MacBook so that I don’t have to go through everything again?

My GF Macbook Pro has reached end of life support (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend has MacBook Pro from 2012 which has already been upgraded with more Ram and an SSD.

From what I understand, her OS (Catalina) has reached end of life in 2022 and doesn’t get any support from Apple anymore.

As that machine works perfectly, what should she do?

I hate Apple products (even if it’s painful for me to say that they’re good) and I’m a Linux enthusiast, so I’d tell her to install Fedora Asahi, but I wanted to know if the Apple enthusiast crowd had a better idea.

My girlfriend isn’t geeky at all (despite her geeky glasses) and she would want to stay in the safe environment provided by an Apple OS. But we also don’t want to replace that powerful machine as we hate programmed obsoletism.
