At first, I was trying to think of some alternate explanation like they’d just bothered to install Unity on a newer version (which I instantly had to self-reject that notion as bonkers). My guess is that that’s the version the stack was developed for and initially rolled out at guinea pig restaurants before a wider introduction (I don’t know when these were introduced, as I rarely do Dominoes.).

Not really much of a problem with it, as if it’s 16.04, it’s still getting extended updates to 2028 and will probably have a paid extra two years offered that Dominoes is willing to pay. If it’s 14.04, then it’s already on paid extended support until 2024.

Not that I’d touch straight Ubuntu with a 39 and a half-foot pole anytime soon, though some derivatives manage to make good out of it, the best being in my opinion PopOS.

One, although it’s rare to have phones that support it, I do dream of owning a Linux phone one day.

Two, I have no idea why I was surprised to run across the OpenRGB guy on Lemmy.

Also a Raspi Imager fan when I have Pis around since I usually have it installed anyway.

I would use dd, but I always worry I’ll bungle something and only use it when necessary. I’m trying to write a utility called Rubber Duck Disk Dump that takes all the same options but parses your command beforehand to try to guess what you’re doing and warn you if it is really, really stupid, and if you type yes, it then passes all args straight to dd.

On another note, Pinta is a clone of Paint.net that you can get via Flatpak.

To be fair, libreboot support is very rare regardless.

Huh. My issue seems different, but I’ll still test that flag to see if it changes anything. My problem looks like the device doesn’t return to host after VM shutdown, possibly because of the reset bug (based on my observation of dmesg), which I hadn’t encountered after about a year of GPU passthrough VM usage.

On one hand, I did go through heck at one point trying to get the config.plist right to no avail. I then found some guy’s preconfigured OpenCore image made specifically for virtual machines (I usually avoid such things, but as a VM is basically a standardized platform, I’ll take it), upon which my life has been very easy ever since. Passthrough was just a matter of copying my Windows passthrough scripts.

One day, I want to buy a Google Pixel and run LineageOS, but I’m not in the position to do that right now.

I have similar feelings about Mac, probably in part because of my former Windows use as well. On one hand, I like how Mac’s terminal and development workflow (e.g availability of gcc) are more natively Unix-like, but for that, there’s also limited OpenGL support and no Vulkan support. Meanwhile, making Windows more “Unix-y” is as simple as installed Cygwin, and fixing the menu is simple a matter of installing OpenShell. (Of course, having to contort Windows gets annoying after a while, thus why I use Linux these days.)

I go to the host folder I want to transfer files from and run ‘’’python3 -m http.server’’’. Then (I can’t remove if I use ‘’’ip a’’’ to find the IP address of the host or if I used mDNS), I use the guest web browser to download files.

I’ll have to try that. What I have tried so far is running a different kernel version and making sure my driver blacklists are correct (I found that the GPU shouldn’t ever connect to snd_hda_intel. It briefly eas again, but after fixing it, I still had the problem.).

I have two GPUs - an RX 550 hooked to the monitors and 580 for VMs. Until recently, once the VM shut down, the 580 was able to return to Linux and be used again via PRIME - no reset bug. It randomly stopped working and I’ve tried to debug it to fix the problem to little avail.
