The Linux Thread - The Autist's OS of Choice

entirely private ... form of ID verification. That will never be possible

I wonder if a couple of number-theory giganerds could hash out some kind of solution for that, if they haven't already. Zero-knowledge proofs, for instance, are a crazy concept. I don't know much about them - the connection between theoretical descriptions and practical implementations is difficult for me to understand - but something like that might be applicable here.

foolproof

This is the tricky part, if you mean foolproof on part of the algorithm designers and implementers as well as the end users. There's no way for the end user to know if the porn site is using fancy cryptographic verification for IDs, or if it's just sending your uploaded image to Poopraj Shitarjeet so he can click either a "Valid" or "Invalid" button. Something like that would need a government audit, which itself already has the potential to violate privacy.

I mean.. the Artix folks are already ahead of the game here.

I don't pay attention to most of the retarded meandering of forked-distro communities, Arch is a fun Linux distribution and if it can be improved without using SystemD, I am willing to stick to it. What exactly is the discourse on Artix's communities like now? Last I've read from a screenshot trannies got roasted alive. Has it been or become completely aids outside of that one instance?

tbh, I wouldn't make any actual decision on what you use based on any of this shit. It's almost as gay, as when the troons, and bluehaired fags do it. If it does what you want, use it. As many wierdos as there are to use one thing, there are going to be just as many normal people that also use it. They just aren't as loud as the troons.

Since not enough people seem to know about it, I highly recommend checking out LIMO for all your game modding needs. Has support for the Nexus API and LOOT.

Looks interesting, but Mod Organizer 2 works well enough in wine.

The main thing is the LIMO is a native Linux program. For a lot of people looking to game on Linux, telling them "hey, just use this native Linux program off Flathub" is a lot more appealing than "hey, run MO2 through Wine".
Also, the OpenMW support is kinda cool.

OpenMW has a builtin mod manager a lot of people don't realize or even know about.

Using a mod organiser through flatpak sounds like a miserable experience. It’s annoying enough just opening photos in an image editor if that’s installed through flatpak.

All lib shit plus they created their own open source protocol only they use so it cant even interact with fedi and will likely just end up as stacked up as Twitter in terms of bot spam.

I've set up my own Bluesky PDS and it's super retarded. It requires you to designate *. DNS records (so you can get username.example.com for accounts), or you can use one domain for the PDS and DNS records to verify your actual website/domain (senate.gov is setup this way, I think).

But you don't control the PDS server or the content you get fed. It's still come to you from their central server as an algorithm. I'm not even sure if the individual PDS servers even communicate with each other.

It's literally the worst possible distributed forum system every. It's like somehow a massive step backwards from ActivityPub.

Nostr is really a neat protocol for a truly distributed, censor resistant solution, but it doesn't seem to have a strong a following anymore.

It's just... not as good as a proper mod manager. At least, for me.

"Pick your poison" is all I can say.

so basically your server is responsible for data hosting but everything still goes through a central exchange that by design can potentially give certain servers preferred or limited access to the network?

Than build from source or download it through the AUR. Literally just trying to give people options.
Also, running MO2 through Wine has always been super hit-or-miss for me with how well it renders.

I've been dicking around with Lutris lately. It's hit-or-miss compared to just running Wine but I do have to say Lutris finally got Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate (1998) to run on Linux where I had no success otherwise.

If you bought it through GOG, than use the Heroic Launcher.

Mod Organizer seems like it's held together with duct tape and HRT.

Well, MO2 was made by Tannin and pushed out of a moving vehicle once he was offered a job at Nexus to work on the Vortex mod manager. So, you have this unfinished project with many issues being taken over by other people which, I guess, is another reason to at least look at LIMO given that it's not someone's sloppy seconds.

The faggots on Reddit seem to have a lot of "YMMV" views on using Lutris vs. Heroic. Is it just another approach I can try or is it really better than Lutris altogether?
