So, should I use nextcloud or owncloud on my server? What is the difference between these 2? Is there any other options to use as cloud storage/media playback?

I'm trying to run Star Craft 2 through wine but getting shit performance.
On windows I get like 120 fps on Extreme settings, but through wine I get max 40 on high.

I'm thinking it isn't using my GPU properly. It lists my 960 in the graphics settings but it only heats up a little bit while playing which is probably just heat being dumped on it from the CPU.

The way I set it up was making a 32 bit WINEPREFIX installing battlenet using the official installer. Then just copying over a working copy of Star Craft.

Any ideas?

When I start my raspberry pi, I have it set up to go to the command line and automatically log me in. I start my program and services and just leave it go.

Every once in a while I use the startx command to load up and go into the desktop environment

After I am done playing in the desktop, is there a way I can kill it and go back to the command line without resetting?
Ive just been resetting the whole thing. I cant seem to find out how to do it.

>>60280675
to return to CLI I believe you'd use this:

/etc/init.d/lxdm stop

>>60280660
Are you running wine-staging and have csmt enabled via winecfg?

>>60280641
Give your advice anon. The maintainer ask for it.

>>60280793
Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian. Anything stable really. If you have to tweak the damn OS then it means you're going to spend less time programming.

Any tips/quide how I make letsencrypt automatically renew on my ubuntu server?

>>60281151
10fps from what? And if you did both then no not really, unless you get an AMD card and run wine with gallium nine patches. Then you'll get faster than windows fps most likely.

>>60281365
>he fell for the fedora meme

>>60281365
But what if I tweaked it to maximum productivity and comfort while programming?

>>60280793
I use manjaro.
I mainly program in Java(incl. Android), Node.js and Python.
Really comfy desu

>>60281151
Also, try setting each setting to the lowest and check your framerate. Then raise a setting to its max until your fps takes a dump. Then keep that setting (or settings) on low and raise the others

Use staging and enable csmt in winecfg
Use this prefix

I'm trying to bind my backlight script to i3. Here's what I've got in my .i3/config
>bindsym $mod+m --no-startup-id sudo brightnessup
However, pressing mod + m does nothing. I believe it is interpreting it as a binding though - when I use mod and an unbound letter in terminal, it writes the letter. However, mod + m does not write m.
Writing
>sudo brightnessup
In the terminal changes the backlight without prompting me for the password.

Just switched from yaourt to pacaur. I used to do

yaourt -Syua

to update all system packages and AUR packages. Do I now just do

pacaur -Syu

or is this not doing quite the same thing? I see that pacaur -u updates aur packages, that many of the pacman flags carry over, but then I don't know if pacaur -Syu is then only updating AUR stuff or not.

Guys help what do I do. I was fucking with grub and I must have fucked something up real bad because now when I boot my computer grub doesn't show at all and instead it jumps right into loading the kernel, except after it loads the initial ramdisk, it tries to load the kernel again, and then hangs.

I managed to get to the grub menu somehow by going into the firmware settings and then exiting them. When I do that, the kernel loads, the initrd loads, the kernel loads again, the initrd loads again, the kernel loads again, and then I get the grub menu. However, every option I choose hangs my system. I've tried the command line, but no commands work because all the modules fail to load.

>>60283798
Nice. Thank you.

>>60283690
I don't think i3 is capable of running stuff through sudo.

Is "brightnessup" a script you wrote yourself?
Is there a problem with your backlight that you have to resort to janky hacks?

That's the downside to not using rolling release. Try something like Arch or maybe Debian Unstable. Smooth updates over time instead of big ones that come with breakage.

irssi. weechat is more modern and is getting some popularity, but irssi is still the better of the two for sure.

>>60283967
So I should go ahead and try Solus?

The reason why I haven't is because i'm not sure how to install steam on it.

guys quick help
using android tablet, got an external sd card and formatted as portable (I'd imagine ntfs)
it works good and passed some files there, mostly media,
but quickly after the system automatically umounts the card for god knows what reason and there is no way actually mount it again without re-inserting the card
anyone else experience that? any way to manually mount on android 6?

also, the only other use for the sdcard is using it as internal storage, how to make good use of that mode? where is it on the file manager?

>>60284755
I already did, I don't understand shit, there is no real guide on how to set it up on the arch wiki, just an explanation of mpd without giving in depth how to actually get it working with ncmcpp, I was asking for help because I didn't understand it and all guides I did understand didn't work or ended up with mpd having problems with playing audio. Sorry if this is asked a lot, but I just need help.

After studying the wiki page on Kernel Parameters, I was correct about the file.

Is there any reason to install Arch for personal desktop use over Mint besides pacman and muh freedumbs? Not trying to bait, just seriously want to know.

Anyone else using Ubuntu Budgie?
It seems nice so far, but I've been encountering some bugs. For example, it seems like if I don't keep the taskbar on the top, then it just fucking dies if I hit the super key. The menu will also appear at the top anyway for a split second before appearing at the bottom if it doesn't just die.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

if you want to use RTMP you could use vlc, obs, or ffmpeg to send to an NGINX proxy that is hosting an RTMP stream. other devices could connect to the proxy and all get the same stream from the source. its easy to install on a machine and the configuration file for rtmp is extremely minimal
