Start now friend, it may take time to find alternatives for some of your workflow, also to find a flavour you prefer, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, etc, there is a lot of choice. I've been slowly trying to get everything setup for a while now. Only a few more little apps and things to finish the switch. sadly I will still need windows for several VR games performance wise, some are just too stuttery on nix. I used to love Ubuntu/Gnome but KDE is a better environment, from the reading I did, for VR with an Nvidia vid card

Linux breaks through 5% share in USA desktop OS market (Statcounter) in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

My linux usage is climbing as I get some of the final things setup, still can't get my g13 setup as I can't get make or cmake to work on the only 2 options for drivers. Several vr games work nearly flawlessly, except for the win api vid player that just shows the colour palate and a small screen with snow in place of videos (apparently a ue4 thing), others are still not smooth enough for streaming. Flat games... if I don't see my task bar (or my g13 screen) I forget which OS I am using

When I see the steam survey I accept under linux and pass on windows insert "Doing my Part" meme here

Finally moving to linux, need replacement hardware suggestions (lemmy.ca)

I used to use linux decades ago, then stopped for multiple reasons. Now, with win 10 eol fast approaching, I have installed Kubuntu 24.04.2 mainly for VR gaming but other gaming and normal pc use as well. I have 2 devices I would like to replace for ones with full linux support(~~drivers~~ software), unless there are ~~drivers~~ software that are easy to install not requiring compilation from source. The devices are a Microsoft Intellipoint Trackball, basically a thumb driven trackball with at least as many buttons (more is better) as the image shows.

The second device is a Logitec G13

I use this for most of my flat games, and to control my video player. Suggestions for similar hardware or easy fully functional drivers would be appreciated. ie; the g13 has game profiles, stopwatch, clock, system monitor, and a few things I don't use, the trackball has all 7 buttons programmable to anything on the kb and then some.

how to block - lemmy.likes.cat (lemmy.ca)
 

Every time this comes up on my feed, generally from an ani.social account, my a/v says dangerous site and blocks the URL but that popup is getting annoying, how can I block this url from lemmy (default webpage/summit app). I have blocked the instance ani.social and 2 of their comms animemes@ani.social and ANI.SOCIAL META@ani.social. Now one of the 196 comms has the same url link from someone on ani.social. Can't turn off that notification as this is a work pc using shudder Nortons

Is there a way to group posts from different communities together? (lemmy.ca)
 

As I scroll through Lemmy, I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Exact same title (usually cross posted). Is there a way to group these posts so that we can decide which instance to interact with instead of seeing the same post 6+ times? It starts to feel like the content is just being recycled to the top of the next page.

I use the default browser on PC and Summit on my phone and usually sort by new. This same issue was starting to get to me on reddit til I left

What are some controllers that are similar to Index but are not index? Looking to change things up, needs some form of touch to grab not buttons like the vive wands.
