Yiff.

Many of my self hosted solutions are just DIY cludges. I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like "I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint)." When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like "No... I don't use anything like that... wait... yes I do! I just don't use a prebuilt solution!"

Something very similar happens to me in some Windows games on Mint with Cinnamon, especially older games running using Proton. I've had it happen recently with Age of Mythology and Fallout New Vegas.

Unfortunately, I don't have the answer for you, but I can tell you you're not alone.

Because Lemmy is like social media and Matrix is like Slack and Discord and they both followed the conventions of their predecessors. You're welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.

Are you me?

Pretty sure it's possible to play LoL on linux...

The waffle looks like a macaroon flavored waffle, which I am now imagining how that would taste and thinking of trying to make it.

It runs my TV too, which is a 7-year-old Dell All-in-One touch screen that works great.

But with Linux, I just can’t believe how unstable it is, even when I do the absolute basic things.

That doesn't sound right.

Start with Linux Mint. I've helped Boomers use it. My dad has been using it as his daily driver for almost 5 years and he doesn't know the difference between an OS and a Word Processor (he keeps calling LibreOffice "Linux").

Mint.

I use that on my gaming rig. Most everything runs fine through Proton or Lutris (Stellaris, Mass Effect, Fallout New Vegas, the Witcher, Age of Mythology, lots of classics). Minecraft Java Edition runs fine natively, including mods. Old games run great through Dosbox.

Mint itself is super stable Linux for your grandma. My dad's been running it for five years and he doesn't know the difference between an OS and a word processor (he keeps calling LibreOffice "Linux"). It was also my son's first OS when he was about 8.

Since when does lemmy.ml ban political content? Is it on a specific community?
