UnaSolaEstrellaLibre,

Is winget installed by default on Windows now?

otterpop,

Yes, finally it comes with a package manager by default!

Only 24 years later

FrankTheHealer,

Imagine using Windows 😤😤

$ Flatpak install Firefox

Imagine having to spend 30 minutes just to run a specific software from Windows

Chadus_Maximus,

Tell me how to beat anticheat on Linux? Cuz that’s the only thing keeping me.

mun_man,

Which games do you play? The only game holding me back was tarkov but I randomly decided to put Linux on one of my drives to see what I could/couldn’t do and I was able to get it working with proton. Probably going to switch over completely soon after I play around with it a bit more

Chadus_Maximus,

Path of Exile, MapleStory, League of Legends, WoW private servers song other things.

League of Legends does work under linux without any anticheat issue, there is even a script done for lutris and an aur package to setup the game, on lemmy there is leagueoflinux where to ask for help.

Path of Exile works great on Linux.

schmensch,

If your games are on Steam, check ProtonDB.

If not, you’re probably out of luck, but check recent Search Engine results. Best to limit results to around last 6 months, otherwise you’ll probably get outdated information. Only a few bigger non-steam multiplayer shooters work, I can only think of Overwatch right now.

Flippydoo,

Give me a little LPT - how do you search for results within a date range?

MazonnaCara89,
@MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml avatar

To see if the games with anticheat that you want to play are supported on linux, check areweanticheatyet.com they have a pretty huge list of anticheat status where are listed supported, unsupported and denied games.

stappern,

Very easy,don’t play those games :)

shinobizilla,

For work, I have no option other than Windows. Right now, I use a mix of WSL2, winget, scoop to get around which is nice. I get to ignore most of the rough edges of Windows lol

FrankTheHealer,

Yeah thats fair enough. Exceptions can be made for work lol.

@torafugu@kbin.social avatar

On Kbin, you can set a gif as your pfp.
Spin.

Secret300,

The correct way wouldn’t be on windows I can tell you that

torafugu,
@torafugu@kbin.social avatar

Indeed. Linux is superior. Linux > Windows.

Xylight,
@Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev avatar

As a dev, a declarative OPERATING SYSTEM is a literal dream. Nix shells are really nice too.

flashgnash,

Hell yeah it is

xavier666,

One day, one day I’ll be brave enough to use it.

i love you

flashgnash,

I’d never heard of librewolf until this. Why use it over firefox? Thought firefox was already privacy focused

somnuz,

Great! Keep digging, keep asking the right questions and ultimately you will just collect enough reasons to simply not use any other browser, until something even better will appear.

Firefox is the Firefox we all really need and LibreWolf is the Firefox we deserve.

Xylight,
@Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev avatar

Firefox actually has a lot of telemetry that’s opt-out rather than opt-in, and doesn’t have many privacy protections. Librewolf comes with ublock origin (which blocks trackers and annoyances as well as ads), has extreme fingerprinting protection, and has no google stuff out of the box.

CalcProgrammer1,
@CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml avatar

Firefox has telemetry and has become adware. Mozilla VPN ads pop up every once in a while. Sponsored bullshit on the home screen. Pocket integration with recommended/sponsored content. Mozilla’s becoming what it set out to destroy unfortunately.

LibreWolf is Firefox without this garbage, plus more privacy focused defaults. Some of those defaults are rather extreme though so I recommend toning it back (such as deleting history/cookies after every session, and resist fingerprinting can screw up anything that displays time by not taking your time zone into account).

nothendev,

is this nixos or home manager?

they look exactly the same

Xylight,
@Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev avatar

It’s technically an invalid config (the extensions part), but other than that it’s using home manager.

Vilian,

$ flatpak install app/org.mozilla.Firefox 😎

All you need is pacman.

eric5949,

sudo pacman -S firefox

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Nope, the correct way is sudo xbps-install -Suv firefox.

lemmy_nightmare,
@lemmy_nightmare@sh.itjust.works avatar

I was wondering where the Void guys at…

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Present ✌️

mcz,

Check out xi from xtools.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Why, it’s not the right package name?

mcz,

No, xi is just a handy script that does sudo xbps-install with less typing and also helps with installing local packages (ones you built with xbps-src).

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml avatar

Oh, cool, didn’t know that, thanks 👍.

But xbps is still keeps track of installed packages, right, xi is just a script.

antrosapien,

yay -S firefox

It takes me like 10 minutes to compile these days :D. Before, yes.

ruination,

Compiling by myself is always worth it for the -telemetry imo
