This is true. And it’s also why I always recommend downloading steam through their website. They distribute their own Deb directly, and it auto updates.

Flatpak version is also okay but if you want to use a secondary disk then you need to know how to use portals (or the Flatpak configuration tool that I can’t remember the name of).

I think there is a value you can put into a /sys file to fix this. Had the same issue on my k10 keyboard. (the fix was easily findable on their forums)

I like the idea that you might actually believe that it really matters WHICH bombs got dropped on civilians rather than THAT bombs get dropped on civilians.

This might help in the future in case you setup a remote mount for backups in the future. Look into using systemd’s automount feature. If the mount suddenly fails then it will instead create an unwritable directory in its place. This prevents your rsync from erroneously writing data to your root partition instead.

I also like lutris. But it being “for games” doesn’t do it justice I think. It is basically just a wine environment manager. It advertises as being for games but it should work with just about any windows executable.

I did something similar (that my professor still talks about in class as a cautionary tale)

I ran chown -R user .* (intending to target all hidden files in the folder) and for people that don’t know .* also matches .. (.. was / in this case) which changed the permissions on all files on the system to that user, including sudo.

We fixed it by mounting the root of the file system in a docker container which effectively gave us root.

Is this effectively the same as: du -hs * | sort -h?

I know this isn’t the type of answer that you want to hear, but I really love my kindle. It may not be open-source but it works and I can upload books to it from my personal collection. And the battery life is much longer than an ordinary tablet.

If you want to have something to tinker with then I have heard that the open book project is a pretty good build it yourself alternative.

The issue with gear lever is that not many people know that it exists. I only started using it a few months ago and I’ve been on Linux for the better part of the last decade.
