>>77 how does it work?

im currently replying on my most recent project, a school laptop running whatever distros of linux i feel like gonna rice the hell out of it and have people pay me to do the same to theirs (already made 20 bucks )

>>2 a webserver in Lua. just finished writing a little extension for it so it can chroot and drop privileges. pic not related

i'm currently working on a wiki software! in php of course I plan for very basic features, simple markdown parser.

I've written a few personal projects over the years, but this time I'll write a nice Linux tool. It will be a CLI program that can handle battery charge thresholds, laptop backlight brightness and CPU min frequency, max frequency, governor and turbo toggles. This will be easy due to the fact that hardware is interpreted as files on Linux, so it's easy to modify these values

>>1290 muerte it really is hard to find a decent ide/code editor that is lightweight and graphical, or one that is TUI but not vim-like, the options are basically narrowed down to geany, kate, micro and maybe some other editor i don't know about

>>1307 I never figured geany out

>>1310 I was very confused at first but things become simpler when you ignore the functionalities related to projects and project files when trying to load a whole project directory or import it. If you enable the file-browser plugin and just manually open source files from your explorer, it becomes much simpler/flexible/universal, etc. That's how I use geany and it's very nice that way

>>492 pure vim with no extensions

>>492 VSCodium for most stuff, neovim for quick stuff or for ricing. Ricing in VSCodium just feels wrong.

>>1077 Proton is a fork of Wine, but it has a few tweaks so it can run seamlessly with Steam. By my experience the best runners are Wine-GE/Proton-GE, if you haven't yet, I would recommend trying it out, although the creator is now working mostly on UMU Launcher, which is by their description on Github: > A unified launcher for Windows games on Linux. It is essentially a copy of the Steam Runtime Tools and Steam Linux Runtime that Valve uses for Proton, with some modifications made so that it can be used outside of Steam. By my understanding it let's you run proton without Steam, so now they don't need to have a Wine-GE and Proton-GE separated, and considering Wine-GE have not been update in more than a year now, and also the Bottles and Lutris creators are heavily involved in UMU, I can assume it's where most of the work is going to right now.

>>1077 I don't believe anyone claimed it didn't

Proton is gay and corporate, and I don't understand how to use it. With wine, it just werks. How do I even install your proton crap?

>>1080 Proton is used on Steam. Corporate? Yes, but FOSS as well with so far no indication of anti-user or anti-freedom practices. Proton has a few neat patches on top of WINE such as fshack, fsync, DXVK and other compatibility patches. You can add games outside Steam as "non-steam games" to make use of Proton easily with them. Otherwise some launchers like Bottles and Lutris have Proton-GE support but you might not like the launchers for their technicalities or even their ideologies (Bottles Flatpak ideology)

>>1313 There is also UMU Launcher now, which by my experience so far is the simplest way to use proton without Steam. https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher

>>1007 >and it's being taken over by AI anyway. So hey! This is actually not even slightly true!!!! LLMs Hallucinate and make random shit up all of the time, if you try to ask one to write anything that's not in python (which nobody actually uses because it's terrible) or anything more complex than a leetcode problem (which most things are), it's going to spit out a bunch of random nonsense that it has no knowledge of. TLDR; 9/10 times, you have to spend more time debugging the AI code than you would have to spend if you just wrote it yourself

>>1018 >LMs Hallucinate and make random shit up all of the time did you ever try to make it write for embed that is not some mainstream arduino shit. it doesn't hallucinate, it fucking creeps me out. you ask it to help you do shit and it *translates your words into code, LITERALLY*. fucking nightmare.

>>1019 >Something for embedded It can't do that. >Oh but actually I am a stupid electrical engineer monkey so it can assert pin 13 and- Make it read the docs for serial COMmunication and write a driver to read and write, it won't.

AI is definitely not anywhere near close to replacing real developers. It's most useful as a tool for digesting documentation that is bad, lacking or hard to navigate

>>1287 100% Agree 99% of my AI use in code comes down to repetitive things (EX: Changing the format of some data) or searching docs

hexchat is in my heart forever

>>1262 I tried this one and it's been pretty smooth sailing so far. Wish there where more themes but other than that seems perfect.

>>1263 search the top toolbar for a thing called "CTCP replies" might wanna remove the TIME reply since it allows random dudes to learn your timezone!

irssi for cli

in dire need of a refactor

knowing the exact moment and manner my videos corrupt makes me feel in sync with the universe

>>1231 whats the hype? sorry il te h illerate so I don't know

>>1232 most of the hype is based around the fact that a well-respected and popular company in the gaming sphere is investing a lot of resources into a Linux distro and has a vested interest in it being streamlined and functional. i think the hype is that it could become the Linux Mint for gaymers, in the sense that it'll be the go-to Just Werks distro for them with the support and backing of Valve. it's the "year of the Linux desktop" meme but slightly less of a meme this time.

when it will be ready to use?

>>1234 Soon™

>>1235 ok rhank you

For the past couple of months, I have been working on an engine that will allow me to make VNs. It will use Live2D for models and Ultralight for easy UI. Right now, I am graduating from OpenGL and learning how to use Vulkan with the engine. I question if it's worth it to just have Vulkan as the one graphics API the engine uses and translate to metal/direct3d or what is possible.

Been working on a graphics framework in C++ with DirectX, but microsoft has been pushing this AI shit so considering moving to linux. I don't mind having to work in Vulkan, but I worry about being able to effectively support PCs as a target platform

>>1166 i'm a bit uneducated, but isn't vulkan pretty well supported? i've been able to use it almost since release.

>>1166 Just put in dxvk so you can support both linux and windows.

>>1166 I write Vulkan+SDL3 on linux with c++. I use the same code to compile on windows and it behaves the same unless I make a mistake with something that isn't in the c++ specifications. Just make sure to stay away from OS specific code and you'll be fine.
