Hello guys i have a qustion about which distro i should use?
I want to dual boot windows and linux
I just want a safe place away from microsoft eyes to do edit and drawing and other hobbies on my pc. And playing some games like cs2 & 2d games Also the distro run my wallpaper engine Should be popular distro so if i have a problem i can ask about it
Please dont tell me linux mint because i tried it 3 times and everytime i do anything simple the distro goes off and i should re install i won't give it anymore chances thank you 😖
Edit: thank you guys for typing your suggests. after some search i will give bazzite try and if won't work like i want. I will go with the other suggests I really enjoyed reading all your suggests
Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You'll want an immutable distribution, you can't break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.
As a windows user, you'll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.
If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.
There's a few other options on the page I'm linking, I haven't tried and therefore can't recommend either of the others.
OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, [https://www.protondb.com/app/431960?device=any](unfortunately, you'll have issues there). Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there's not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.
People seem to love bazzite, is it all its cracked up to be?
I'm happy with my lmde htpc/server/gamingrig/clusterfuck so I'm not planning on changing, but I've been in the market for a handheld gaming PC and its been on my list to try.
As a noob I really like it. I ran popOS for almost a year, then arch for like two months. I tried fedora for like a week before arch but then decided to try bazzite on a little htpc for the living room, then put it on my main gaming desktop, now I have it on my laptop where I edit photos and videos as a hobby and its been pretty solid.
I don't really like that it wants you to use flatpaks for everything, since darktable as a flatpaks kept crashing and rapid photo downloaded didn't have a flatpak so I ended up installing stuff with the ostree rpm but rapid photo is old and not sure how to update it to current version
I put Bazzite on an Intel n100 box I'm using as an HTPC. Super easy install and it was ready to go and working just fine very quickly. Jellyfin works really well! It really is quite incredible how far things have come since my first install of Ubuntu 14.04. Atomic could really make some headway on making Linux easy for a typical user. Wine has come a LOOOONG way help keep compatibility too.
Way better than my Ubuntu desktop. The only thing hold me back on putting an atomic distro on my desktop is not familiar with how things like Python venvs would work for development. That and I use a global hotkey program for Team speak since they haven't updated to handle Wayland global keys.
The age old question. You have to understand that Linux the kernel is made in such a way that anything built on top of it will always require way too much from the user. It feels like something made from programmers for programmers, just like how UNIX was designed. No distro will be able to change that. Windows is packed with bandaids to make it behave closer to what users expect, but anything that comes from UNIX has it's focus in making the code nice, not making ordinary users happy necessarily.
So picking a distro is entirely a choice on how you wanna interact with the kernel's interfaces, but they're still the same interfaces. No pretty UI will change that.
Just make sure that the distro you choose has a mature community behind it and that packages are being actively maintained. Make sure that if you file a bug report it will get some attention. That's the only thing you should care about in a distro, everything else is flashy nonsense.
Edit: Also as you can see by the replies to my comment, Linux is kind of a cult, so beware of that.
Android runs an only slightly modified Linux kernel, and yet the OS requires much less from the user than e.g. Windows or MacOS.
Chromebooks run a bog-standard Linux kernel and the target audience is kids.
My car's entertainment system runs a standard Linux kernel, and the UX is so cut down that PC expertise really doesn't matter when using it.
MacOS and iOS, two systems known for their ease of use, both stem from BSD, which comes from Unix.
The kernel has nothing to do with this.
In fact, the only mainstream kernel used in user-facing operating systems that doesn't "come from Unix" is Windows. Everything else is derived either from Linux or BSD, which both are derived from Unix.
There isn't even a mainstream phone OS anymore that doesn't "come from Unix".
I used Ubuntu for a long time. It is convenient because it is very popular and there is a lot of software available for installation without any extra steps. However, I think it has become quite overloaded. I have been using Fedora with KDE for a relatively long time and I am very satisfied. I use it as my main home and work operating system. It has proven to be very stable. I am engaged in software development, so I use it very actively, and I am happy with it. it meets all my needs. I think You could consider Fedora.
Because Canonical put a lot of effort into usability. Pretty much all of the popular recommended beginner distributions are Ubuntu based. Examples: Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Elementary.
People will recommend other stuff, often that are loved by varioius enthusists but these may or may not be that suitable for beginners. Call me skeptical.
I use and recommend Ubuntu because it is easy to install, use, and just works. It is also widely supported and very popular. The one thing I do not like about it is the Snap focus. I would love to recommend Linux Mint but last time I used it major distribution upgrades from the GUI were not supported. Have no idea if they fixed that. Ubuntu upgrades are the click of a button. In my family there are nontechnical users and they have used it for almost 20 years just fine without much help from me.
On the other hand I use Debian if I intend to custom configure something and want a minimal install to start from. Major upgrades on Debian are not a click of a button. On the other hand Debian is not Snap based. My workstation and VPS are Debian for example.
Upgrades. To do a major upgrade on Debian you go into the command line. You first adjust the appropriate files in /etc/apt. Then you run a bunch of apt commands.
Ubuntu you are asked if you want to upgrade to a new release and just say yes.
I’m always shocked by all the recommendations to use Mint. It feels dated and ugly. Admittedly, I migrated from Mac, but how abused must you Windows users be to find Mint a suitable replacement? I personally wound up with Zorin OS and recommend it. The software store makes installing apps from multiple sources tolerable. It’s also got a nice UI and you can easily change it.
I personally don't see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.
They all suffer from the safe issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn't in their distro's repository.
I agree. People should raise their standards… the message is if you’re switching to Linux, shouldn’t be “just be glad to have a distribution that just works.” I think we’ll need a better sales pitch if that’s the case.
I had no issues with Zorin from a “it just works” perspective and I run an NVidia GPU. And, it also looks good. Like Mint, it’s also based on Ubuntu, but without the Windows XP era UI.
Also, the UI can either be in “has a start menu” or “has a Mac dock” mode.
Now to the question which distro, honestly it does not matter YET!
You probably don't even know what a distro is (no offense) but what you did highlight clearly are the needs, namely :
playing games
popular
not Mint because somehow it breaks (would be VERY important to understand why though)
... so that actually narrows things down quite a bit.
The most popular distribution are the easiet to find (I'm on Debian and SteamOS so I use Arch BTW) and that's a safe choice indeed. Playing games does not narrow things down much as most distro, if not all, do not prevent against playing game and IMHO the optimization specific to gaming are pretty much pointless in most cases.
Your edit point that you are trying a distribution already so yes, please, do go for it. I do suggest though that WHEN things go wrong, like it did with Mint, you take the time to understand WHY. This in itself will help you to either switch to another distribution and arguably more importantly what even is a distribution and finally which one of the remaining ones (if you do actually switch rather than fix) are more appropriate for you.
Finally my last recommendation is to back up your data. That's what IMHO make the difference between having fun distro hopping versus pulling hair out stressing that your last game save, or work notebooks, will not be deleted.
Your last point i learn it in the hard why and for the post i just wanted to see people suggests because everyone i asked near me says linux mint and i really hate it because what happened with me i already said what happened in the comments so i won't again
I get that but at this point shouldn't we get more people on this side. Like I think redhad and canonical are infinitely better than microsoft. Lesser of 2 evils and all. Who knows one day they may start using arch (btw)
Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
While I agree with your point I don't think a lot of people will be open to that cause they may not be aware of base distros and all that and in the end it would seem like you're not listening to them.
I suggest BazziteOS. I have it installed on 2 of my computers for about a year and it works great. It runs KDE and it looks similar to Windows but is much better. Also, I believe it has support for Wallpaper Engine, though I haven't tried it.
It is Fedora based and Fedora also has a sizeable community for any questions and tutorials you may have.
The reason why I recommend Bazziteos is because it comes out of the box ready for gaming, you would have steam, wine, lutris, etc installed almost instantly and ready to play.
I just finished downloading bazzite and now creating a backup on flash for both bazzite and windows using ventoy because i know myself i will do something stupid to make me re install systems
Chances are that, if you do break something, it'll be on the Windows side.
Bazzite is very solid for new users as it's very convoluted to access and modify anything system related.
Having said that, if you have any intention to learn how to use Linux distros, and eventually remove Microsoft from your life, immutable distros like Bazzite will limit you dramatically, so I suggest you start with a regular "mutable" distro. Now, if your intention is just to have something that works, scape Windows every now and then, and come back to Windows, it's hard to beat an immutable distro.
I suggest you to check out Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. I have been using it for years without any problems. I also have dual boot with Windows, but I think I will delete Windows soon and use only Linux.
My name is none of your business, and I approve this suggestion.
For most of us using Linux distros for years, we already have a preferred distro that is highly unlikely to be Ubuntu or even Debian based, but for first-timers, I honestly believe Mint is the way to go. But seeing how mint has been a flop for you (as another poster said, it'd be great to know what went wrong) an immutable distro (like Bazzite) would fit your current needs better, but these distros are not the best way to start learning about Linux and eventually migrate from Windows entirely.
It’s 2025, if you’ve got the space to dual boot, you’ve got space for snapshots. There’s no reason not to set them up. Btrfs, ZFS, LVM, pick your poison. Disk is cheap, your time isn't.
And if “simple stuff” is breaking your system, that tells me three things:
You’re still using apt-get instead of apt
You’re ignoring dependency warnings
You’re probably not fully understanding the commands you’re running — so RTFM
So yeah, I will be telling you to use Mint, with at LEAST daily snapshots.
theres a new one made by a microsoft enginer as a project called Anduin OS it is very simmilar to windows based on ubuntu it can be downloaded at anduinos.com/ and a video by mental outlaw can be found at inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=bQAUFgS… i personally never tried it and it is a hobby project but it looks promising
AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that aims to facilitate developers transitioning from Windows to Linux by maintaining familiar operational habits and workflows.
It's worth noting that fedora is heavily sponsored by RedHat (a subsidiary of IBM) and is the upstream testing ground for RHEL (Redhats commercial offering). RedHat also has close ties to Israels government and it's military.
This is a huge dealbreaker for someone like me so I feel it's necessary to mention.
Not to get into politics but the whole point of Linux is about being open and used by anyone from anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised to see various parts of the Linux kernel, drivers, etc developed/funded by people from Israel, Russia, and many many other countries.
Edit: the point of this message, this type of approach to your OS choice will ultimately result in throwing your PC in the trash if you dig deep enough.
There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.
No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.
For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between
I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.
I don't know exactly why writing from the 1700s and 1800s was markedly superior in quality than that of modern books. But I think this might be a clue. (Below: Pictures of my three volume 1796 copy of, "History of the Reign of Emperor Charles the Fifth - With a View of the Progress of Society in Europe from the Subversion of the Roman Empire, to the Beginning of the 16th Century" by William Robertson).
The enlightenment thinkers in the Universities would start their books by addressing an audience to the King, who would be the patron of the arts and sciences in the various principalities of Europe. This sets the tone for the work in terms of quality and gravity, and gives the author an incentive to be forthcoming and concise with the fruits of their labors.
The monarchs would actually read these books and would bestow honors upon the most worthy performances. There was no time for bullshit, or trying to dazzle other intellectuals with fruitless abstraction. Your audience was the king!
There has been remarkably little resistance from the American establishment since the start of the Trump presidency. Congress has remained exceptionally inactive and quiet, while Trump governs mostly through executive order. It almost seems as though the American establishment recognizes the fact that this country cannot move any further forward, at this juncture, without conceding the rise of a powerful executive to bring a degree of coherence and order to the nation.
Insofar as universities are concerned, Trump is striking the very highest collegiate institutions of the nation. Once the Ivy Leagues have been brought to heel, the rest will follow. So far 2.2 billion in endowments are frozen at Harvard, no international students are permitted to enter or return, and now the remaining $450 million in grants are being cancelled.
How is President Trump doing this? A power argument from the Federalist Society claims that the Constitution gave exclusive power to the congress to pass bills authorizing the raising of taxes and the expenditure of treasure, however, it is the discretion, prerogative and privilege of the executive branch, to choose whether and where the funds are actually disbursed. The Trump Administration is using this constitution prerogative to govern in a much more arbitrary and lively fashion than has been the custom of previous presidents.
This will be an unstoppable precedent, and a salutary transition away from unchecked oligarchy, and towards the normalization of a strong and independent executive power structure. A feat which many did not think possible within the constraints of the current constitution. Once the executive has gathered sufficient power, the Oligarchy will not be able to turn things back around.
Excerpt from the Article:
" 'Going forward, we also encourage your agency to seek alternative vendors for future services where you had previously considered Harvard,' reads the letter, signed by Josh Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the GSA's Federal Acquisition Service. "
The other obvious reason that congress has not been vigorously attacking Trump is that the state of Israel is facing an existential crisis. It seems as though Trump has made a "deal with the devil" so to speak, essentially telling Israel, if you let me have my way with things, I won't pull the plug on Israel. Hence the full might of the Israel Lobby is being used to restrain congress from attacking Trump, and any democrats who do step out of line and attempt to impeach him are quickly brought to heel.
Nowadays, a suit and tie is almost universally, unconsciously recognized as the uniform of someone who deceives and manipulates for a living. With some exceptions, the wearing of a suit is actually harmful to a person's reputation, hence they have gone out of fashion in wider society.
Some of the exceptions for a positive image associated with a suit would be the Russian KGB or the American Secret Service, where calculated manners and tactics are generally socially acceptable to the public at large.
From the gilded era, all the way up to FDR's new deal in 1933, western populations tried to emulate the elites by wearing suits in their day to day lives, at least when going to town. The respect for wealth and capital has decreased since then, to such an extent, that one is laughed at for wearing formal clothing, even while rich.
Formal wear is supposed to express a few different things, and can express some things more than another, depending on it's features. On the one hand there is the expression of personal sophistication and wealth, and yet on the other hand formal wear may express a sense of civic duty, respect paid, or a formal role a person carries in a society.
Even as personal ostentation has gone out of fashion, a person taking their duties seriously has not. Hence, formal wear, moving forward should strive to emphasize a person's role in a society rather than their personal qualities.
This begs the question, if a person wishes to leave the house in something more presentable than jeans and a t-shirt, which is the most common thing to wear in America, what sort of wardrobe is befitting? What kind of formal wear expresses the conscientious citizen and/or warrior of the republic rather than ostentatious wealth and/or sophistication?

I was just trying to hear out the classes and races of the Final Fantasy MMO through a simple YouTube video. (Summoner, Warrior, etc.)
I was subjugated to learning that there's a race known as "Lalafell"; that they are described as looking child-like (look like My Precious Moments dolls); that they're not allowed in "ERP" zones; what ERP stands for.
I want to re-emphasize this was supposed to be a YouTube jump into classes and races.
I am glad they're keeping the "lala(loli)"fell child-looking race out of the ERP zones.
I was just like 😩 that every Youtube description of FF14 races wasn't lore but thirsting for "choke me, daddy giants" or catgirls or bunnygirls. The humans were described as "boring, vanilla" and the common description of these lalafell was "They're not allowed in ERP zones." lol Okay but wtf are they? lolol

Singapore's rapidly evolving business landscape demands infrastructure solutions that provide both reliability and scalability. Modern organizations depend on sophisticated structured cabling system architecture and robust uninterruptible power supply Singapore technologies to maintain a competitive advantage in an increasingly connected marketplace. These complementary systems create the foundation for seamless operations and comprehensive data protection.
I. Creating the Connectivity Foundation Through Structured Cabling
The concept of what is structured cabling encompasses far more than simple cable management. It represents a comprehensive approach to creating an organized, standardized infrastructure that supports all communication and data transfer requirements within modern business environments. Professional IT structured cabling serves as the fundamental framework upon which all technological systems depend for reliable performance, together with an uninterruptible power supply Singapore.
1. Optimizing Network Performance
Structure cabling implementation provides measurable performance improvements through systematic organization and strategic design. This infrastructure approach eliminates signal interference and crosstalk issues that commonly affect poorly planned networks, resulting in significantly faster data transfer speeds and enhanced overall network reliability. The organized nature of professional cabling design creates clear pathways that support both current operational requirements and future expansion needs.
2. Future-Proofing Business Infrastructure
The long-term value of professional IT cabling becomes evident through its scalability characteristics. Organizations with properly designed, structured cabling can accommodate business growth without major infrastructure overhauls. Adding new workstations, integrating additional systems, or expanding network capabilities becomes a straightforward process that leverages existing infrastructure investments rather than requiring complete system replacement.
II. Essential Power Continuity Through UPS Technology
Power reliability represents a critical concern for Singapore businesses, where even brief outages can result in significant operational disruption and financial losses. Singapore uninterruptible power supply systems provide essential protection against these risks by delivering immediate backup power during utility failures, ensuring that critical operations continue without interruption.
1. Seamless Power Transition Capabilities
Uninterruptible power supply in Singapore solutions function as comprehensive protection systems that address multiple aspects of power-related risks. These sophisticated technologies detect power anomalies instantly and provide seamless transition to battery operation, preventing the momentary interruptions that can cause system crashes, data corruption, and equipment damage in sensitive technological environments.
2. Advanced Power Quality Management
The protective capabilities of uninterruptible power supplies extend beyond simple backup power provision to include surge protection and power conditioning. These systems filter incoming power to eliminate fluctuations and spikes that could otherwise damage sensitive equipment or cause data integrity issues. This comprehensive protection ensures that connected systems receive clean, consistent power regardless of utility conditions.
III. Integrated Infrastructure for Complete Business Protection
The combination of structured cabling and UPS technologies creates synergistic protection that addresses both connectivity and power continuity requirements simultaneously. Professional structured cabling ensures efficient power distribution throughout the facility, while UPS systems provide the backup power necessary to maintain operations during utility outages. This integrated approach creates comprehensive infrastructure resilience.
1. Specialized Application Requirements
This integration proves particularly valuable for specialized applications such as access control system Singapore implementations, where both network connectivity and power continuity are essential for maintaining security functionality during emergencies. The combination of reliable cabling infrastructure and backup power ensures that critical security systems remain operational regardless of external conditions.
2. Multi-System Support Capabilities
Modern business environments increasingly require integrated solutions that support diverse technological requirements simultaneously. From network infrastructure to security systems, professional IT structured cabling combined with reliable power protection creates the foundation for comprehensive operational capability that adapts to changing business needs.
IV. Implementation Strategies for Singapore Organizations
Successful deployment of integrated cabling and UPS solutions requires careful assessment of organizational requirements and strategic planning for both current and future needs. This includes consideration of various facility types and operational requirements, from traditional commercial spaces to specialized developments such as Faber Residence projects that demand sophisticated infrastructure integration.
Organizations must partner with experienced providers who understand the complexities of designing systems that accommodate both structured cabling and power protection requirements. Professional implementation ensures that these technologies work together effectively, creating infrastructure that provides reliable performance, scalability, and comprehensive protection for critical business operations.
The strategic investment in quality structured cabling and UPS systems represents a fundamental commitment to operational excellence and business continuity. In Singapore's competitive business environment, these technologies provide the reliable foundation necessary for sustained success, ensuring seamless connectivity and comprehensive protection that enables organizations to focus on core business objectives rather than infrastructure concerns.

“ If, on the other hand, parents and educators allow children to explore a chaotic virtual world on their own, they will be catechized by every wickedness that streams before them. The digital cocaine undermines their ability to feel, to enjoy, to love—to be fully alive.”
@Bleukitty Unfortunately, I know far too many parents who do not provide the proper rails with regard to technology. Very young and way too much screen time. Tragic. Finding less and less like-minded folks with regard to my stance. And the ones who need to read this article that I should send to will likely take offense. It’s a quandary.
@HeyLiberty @Bleukitty I tried, to no avail, to caution a friend NOT to let her child in an online chat room. She downplayed the danger, telling me her child had been educated, and he knew better.
I agree! I am in a Bible study with someone who lets her son, age 6, pretty much watch whatever he wants on YouTube. My girls watch him, as in babysit, during the Bible study. I told my girls to tell him “we’re not allowed to watch the things you watch so let’s play instead.” They’ve ended up building fairy gardens with him and playing outside instead.
It’s touchy because I don’t want her to feel like I am attacking her parenting. Delicate for sure.
@HeyLiberty @Bleukitty I know...you really have to tred lightly. I'm just thankful, that, due to my friend's resistence to reason, that her son didn't get caught up in something untoward.
@HeyLiberty @Bleukitty I am definitely praying for that child...6 is still pretty much a baby...and no child should be let loose on the internet. Excellent resolution; playing outside is so much better.
The story starts in Crosscord, the crossword Discord server. Over 5,000 users strong, the server has emerged as a central hub for the online crossword community, a buzzing, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes delightful town square where total noobs, v…
Pakistan’s prime minister underscores Iran’s pivotal role in the Muslim world, while expressing Islamabad’s commitment to the promotion of shared objectives.
Below is a minimal example of how you can add a real‐time chat box that only your authenticated users can use. It uses:
Node.js + Express for the web server
express‐session to track logged-in users
Socket.io for real-time messaging
You’ll need to adapt the authentication check to however you store your users (database, JWTs, etc.), but this will give you the core of “only logged‐in folks see/use the chat.”
Session setup We use express-session so that when a user “logs in” (e.g. via your existing form/database), we store { user: { name: '…' } } in req.session.
Socket authentication By re-using the same session middleware in Socket.io’s io.use(…), every incoming socket has access to socket.request.session. If there’s no session.user, we immediately disconnect() them.
Real-time chat
On connect/disconnect we broadcast a system message.
On client‐side, every message the user sends is emitted and broadcast to all.
Protecting the page We guard chat.html in Express so that if you go there directly, you’ll get bounced to /login.html (you’d build a real login page).
Next Steps
Integrate with your real user database. Replace the demo /login route with your own logic.
Persist chat history if you want to store messages (e.g. in MongoDB or MySQL).
Add rooms or private messaging by namespace or room support in Socket.io.
Style it and embed it in your existing layout (lemm.ee) CSS.
You'd need to change the idea a lot and make it more specific. This way it's not a good idea. A local instance chat might be useful for some things. But then this is a platform to discuss underneath posts in communities. So we can already talk to each other...
yes i meant separate instance also we just have to put this, dark souls wiki also uses it
You don’t need to rewrite the whole page—just inject the pieces for Socket .io and your chat UI where indicated. Here’s exactly what to add or change in existing HTML (THIS PAGE):
1. Include Socket.IO on the client
Find the closing </head> tag and just before it insert:
<script>
// connect using the global io() function
const socket = io();
const form = document.getElementById('chat-form');
const input = document.getElementById('chat-input');
const messages = document.getElementById('chat-messages');
// render incoming messages
socket.on('message', ({ from, text }) => {
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.textContent = from + ': ' + text;
messages.appendChild(div);
messages.scrollTop = messages.scrollHeight;
});
// on submit send to server
form.addEventListener('submit', e => {
e.preventDefault();
const msg = input.value.trim();
if (!msg) return;
socket.emit('message', msg);
input.value = '';
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
4. Ensure your server is serving this page and Socket.IO
On your Node/Express server (the same one you use to serve the Lemmy/lemm.ee front-end), you need to:
Install Socket.IO:
npm install socket.io
Hook it up to your HTTP server (roughly as in the example I shared before), making sure you share sessions so only logged-in users connect. The minimal changes in your server.js (or equivalent) are:
Body: injected a <div id="chat-container">…</div> chat widget
Footer: added a <script>…</script> block to wire up io()
With those three small patches, your existing site will host a floating chat box that’s only usable by authenticated users. Let me know if you need help wiring up the session middleware or adjusting the styles!
This uses Cargo and Rust. Not npm and NodeJS... I mean go ahead and try, this is an entirely different programming language. Nothing in your comment will do anything. It is like if you were talking Portuguese to someone who only understands English. So I think you can skip the long non-working code examples.
You can fork the Lemmy repo and play with it. As people here already said, it's Rust, so you have to adapt your code. Create your feature request, discuss it with the developers community, prepare the pull request—that's how it usually done
slrpnk.net already has its own XMPP chat option where one's Lemmy username (e.g. user@slrpnk.net) is one's XMPP address, and I imagine that other instances could do something similar if they wanted. XMPP is federated, so it doesn't require any Lemmy-side coding for the federation aspect. For instance-wide chat (visible to all users of the instance), an implementation in XMPP would probably be easier as well, perhaps using some form of the group chat functionality. What does your proposal offer that cannot be done using XMPP?

Bronchiectasis is a disease. Living with it is a hobby. (Just ordered 2 more Aerobika flutter devices and some Pari tubing for my nebulizers. Ordered a deeply discounted battery-operated portable nebulizer yesterday. Waffling on getting 20 gallons of distilled water delivered. I am always buying new things for my bronchiectasis, which makes it sort of like quilting.)
The US delivered its first B61-13 nuclear bomb nearly a year early. With enhanced yield and precision, it modernizes a key part of the nuclear triad amid rising global tensions.
Does that mean they are enlarging the inventory now? As opposed to dismantling old bombs as they make new ones (modernization while keeping the number constant)? I thought there was a treaty capping the total number but haven't been keeping track.

in reply to Mojtaba • • •Based on your last paragraph, you might fall in the supernoob catergory. You'll want an immutable distribution, you can't break those Unless you tell it to let you break it.
As a windows user, you'll find familiarity in Fedora Kionite.
If you prefer a touchscreen oriented experience consider Fedora Silverblue.
There's a few other options on the page I'm linking, I haven't tried and therefore can't recommend either of the others.

Edit 2, electric boogaloo:
OP in your post you state you want Wallpaper Engine to work, [https://www.protondb.com/app/431960?device=any](unfortunately, you'll have issues there). Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with wallpaper engine you may be able to do the same using KDE Plasma. I personally use a VLC command line call to enable animated wallpapers on my rig, there's not exactly a standard for it on Linux so many of the solutions you find will be clunky. Just remember if you go around messing with your xorg.conf file you need to have a backup of it so you can undo changes easily in a terminal.
You're welcome to DM me if you need assistance.

in reply to IngeniousRocks (They/She) • • •As a noob I really like it. I ran popOS for almost a year, then arch for like two months. I tried fedora for like a week before arch but then decided to try bazzite on a little htpc for the living room, then put it on my main gaming desktop, now I have it on my laptop where I edit photos and videos as a hobby and its been pretty solid.
I don't really like that it wants you to use flatpaks for everything, since darktable as a flatpaks kept crashing and rapid photo downloaded didn't have a flatpak so I ended up installing stuff with the ostree rpm but rapid photo is old and not sure how to update it to current version

in reply to hobbsc • • •I put Bazzite on an Intel n100 box I'm using as an HTPC. Super easy install and it was ready to go and working just fine very quickly. Jellyfin works really well! It really is quite incredible how far things have come since my first install of Ubuntu 14.04. Atomic could really make some headway on making Linux easy for a typical user. Wine has come a LOOOONG way help keep compatibility too.
Way better than my Ubuntu desktop. The only thing hold me back on putting an atomic distro on my desktop is not familiar with how things like Python venvs would work for development. That and I use a global hotkey program for Team speak since they haven't updated to handle Wayland global keys.

in reply to Mojtaba • • •Linux Distro made to accommodate Windows Users by being as similar as is reasonable in UI and organization: AnduinOS.
If you try it, use 1.3, as you are not an enterprise use case.
Manmoth
in reply to Mojtaba • • •EndeavourOS is the best imo because it's basically arch with a minimal skin on it to aide in installation etc
I've been using it for the better part of 5 years now with no issues. I play games, self host, work etc It's great.
If you install paru you get access to the AUR which has everything under the sun ready to install.
RawHex
in reply to Mojtaba • • •The age old question. You have to understand that Linux the kernel is made in such a way that anything built on top of it will always require way too much from the user. It feels like something made from programmers for programmers, just like how UNIX was designed. No distro will be able to change that. Windows is packed with bandaids to make it behave closer to what users expect, but anything that comes from UNIX has it's focus in making the code nice, not making ordinary users happy necessarily.
So picking a distro is entirely a choice on how you wanna interact with the kernel's interfaces, but they're still the same interfaces. No pretty UI will change that.
Just make sure that the distro you choose has a mature community behind it and that packages are being actively maintained. Make sure that if you file a bug report it will get some attention. That's the only thing you should care about in a distro, everything else is flashy nonsense.
Edit: Also as you can see by the replies to my comment, Linux is kind of a cult, so beware of that.
squaresinger
in reply to RawHex • • •Android runs an only slightly modified Linux kernel, and yet the OS requires much less from the user than e.g. Windows or MacOS.
Chromebooks run a bog-standard Linux kernel and the target audience is kids.
My car's entertainment system runs a standard Linux kernel, and the UX is so cut down that PC expertise really doesn't matter when using it.
MacOS and iOS, two systems known for their ease of use, both stem from BSD, which comes from Unix.
The kernel has nothing to do with this.
In fact, the only mainstream kernel used in user-facing operating systems that doesn't "come from Unix" is Windows. Everything else is derived either from Linux or BSD, which both are derived from Unix.
There isn't even a mainstream phone OS anymore that doesn't "come from Unix".

in reply to Mojtaba • • •I have been using Fedora with KDE for a relatively long time and I am very satisfied. I use it as my main home and work operating system. It has proven to be very stable.
I am engaged in software development, so I use it very actively, and I am happy with it. it meets all my needs. I think You could consider Fedora.

Currently we use Ubuntu and Debian. Ubuntu would be the better of the two for beginners.

in reply to flatbield • • •flatbield
in reply to malin • • •Because Canonical put a lot of effort into usability. Pretty much all of the popular recommended beginner distributions are Ubuntu based. Examples: Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Elementary.
People will recommend other stuff, often that are loved by varioius enthusists but these may or may not be that suitable for beginners. Call me skeptical.
I use and recommend Ubuntu because it is easy to install, use, and just works. It is also widely supported and very popular. The one thing I do not like about it is the Snap focus. I would love to recommend Linux Mint but last time I used it major distribution upgrades from the GUI were not supported. Have no idea if they fixed that. Ubuntu upgrades are the click of a button. In my family there are nontechnical users and they have used it for almost 20 years just fine without much help from me.
On the other hand I use Debian if I intend to custom configure something and want a minimal install to start from. Major upgrades on Debian are not a click of a button. On the other hand Debian is not Snap based. My workstation and VPS are Debian for example.
malin
in reply to flatbield • • •How exactly does canonical make their distribution more usable than Debian?
Why?
They're the exact same as in Ubuntu...
Which is a benefit to new users. They shouldn't be conditioned to be using snaps, anyways.
flatbield
in reply to malin • • •Upgrades. To do a major upgrade on Debian you go into the command line. You first adjust the appropriate files in /etc/apt. Then you run a bunch of apt commands.
Ubuntu you are asked if you want to upgrade to a new release and just say yes.
MolecularCactus1324
in reply to Mojtaba • • •malin
in reply to MolecularCactus1324 • • •I personally don't see much value of Mint or Ubuntu over Debian.
They all suffer from the safe issue: lack of a user repository. This means any layman is going to immediately be turned off by the distro and the whole Linux experience as soon as they want to install something that isn't in their distro's repository.
Zweiblum
in reply to MolecularCactus1324 • • •MolecularCactus1324
in reply to Zweiblum • • •I agree. People should raise their standards… the message is if you’re switching to Linux, shouldn’t be “just be glad to have a distribution that just works.” I think we’ll need a better sales pitch if that’s the case.
I had no issues with Zorin from a “it just works” perspective and I run an NVidia GPU. And, it also looks good. Like Mint, it’s also based on Ubuntu, but without the Windows XP era UI.
Also, the UI can either be in “has a start menu” or “has a Mac dock” mode.
utopiah
in reply to Mojtaba • • •So... do it?
Now to the question which distro, honestly it does not matter YET!
You probably don't even know what a distro is (no offense) but what you did highlight clearly are the needs, namely :
... so that actually narrows things down quite a bit.
The most popular distribution are the easiet to find (I'm on Debian and SteamOS so I use Arch BTW) and that's a safe choice indeed. Playing games does not narrow things down much as most distro, if not all, do not prevent against playing game and IMHO the optimization specific to gaming are pretty much pointless in most cases.
Your edit point that you are trying a distribution already so yes, please, do go for it. I do suggest though that WHEN things go wrong, like it did with Mint, you take the time to understand WHY. This in itself will help you to either switch to another distribution and arguably more importantly what even is a distribution and finally which one of the remaining ones (if you do actually switch rather than fix) are more appropriate for you.
Finally my last recommendation is to back up your data. That's what IMHO make the difference between having fun distro hopping versus pulling hair out stressing that your last game save, or work notebooks, will not be deleted.
Have fun learning!

in reply to utopiah • • •daddycool
in reply to Mojtaba • • •I'm sorry to say this, but if you can fuck up Linux Mint, you're in for a rough ride.
My suggestion is installing your distro of choice in a VM along side your primary installation and use that for testing before implementing.
Linux in general is ruthless if you make mistakes. It's tough love, but that's how masters of the craft are born.

Obviously you can't completely rid yourself of all RedHat influence but Fedora is their literal upstream community testing ground and LMDE really does limit their influence heavily and that of Canonical (Ubuntu) by just building off of the more community based Debian (which Ubuntu built off of as well)
slacktoid
in reply to IttihadChe • • •IttihadChe
in reply to slacktoid • • •Standard Linux mint is is Ubuntu based, LMDE is debian based. Completely different depending on the issues they had.
Edit: but also plenty of other Debian based distros, including Debian itself would avoid direct Ubuntu (Canonical) and Fedora (RedHat) influence.

in reply to IttihadChe • • •/home/pineapplelover
in reply to Mojtaba • • •I suggest BazziteOS. I have it installed on 2 of my computers for about a year and it works great. It runs KDE and it looks similar to Windows but is much better. Also, I believe it has support for Wallpaper Engine, though I haven't tried it.
It is Fedora based and Fedora also has a sizeable community for any questions and tutorials you may have.
The reason why I recommend Bazziteos is because it comes out of the box ready for gaming, you would have steam, wine, lutris, etc installed almost instantly and ready to play.
Mojtaba
in reply to /home/pineapplelover • • •youmaynotknow
in reply to Mojtaba • • •Chances are that, if you do break something, it'll be on the Windows side.
Bazzite is very solid for new users as it's very convoluted to access and modify anything system related.
Having said that, if you have any intention to learn how to use Linux distros, and eventually remove Microsoft from your life, immutable distros like Bazzite will limit you dramatically, so I suggest you start with a regular "mutable" distro. Now, if your intention is just to have something that works, scape Windows every now and then, and come back to Windows, it's hard to beat an immutable distro.
Asfalttikyntaja
in reply to Mojtaba • • •youmaynotknow
in reply to Asfalttikyntaja • • •My name is none of your business, and I approve this suggestion.
For most of us using Linux distros for years, we already have a preferred distro that is highly unlikely to be Ubuntu or even Debian based, but for first-timers, I honestly believe Mint is the way to go. But seeing how mint has been a flop for you (as another poster said, it'd be great to know what went wrong) an immutable distro (like Bazzite) would fit your current needs better, but these distros are not the best way to start learning about Linux and eventually migrate from Windows entirely.

in reply to Mojtaba • • •It’s 2025, if you’ve got the space to dual boot, you’ve got space for snapshots. There’s no reason not to set them up. Btrfs, ZFS, LVM, pick your poison. Disk is cheap, your time isn't.
And if “simple stuff” is breaking your system, that tells me three things:
So yeah, I will be telling you to use Mint, with at LEAST daily snapshots.

in reply to Mojtaba • • •My advice: Stick to distros and softwares that are widely used. When presented with options, tend to stick to the defaults.
Just because literally 100% is customizable in the Linux world does not mean you have to customize your system 100%.
That's my motto since 1996 when I started using Linux.

Edit: the point of this message, this type of approach to your OS choice will ultimately result in throwing your PC in the trash if you dig deep enough.
IttihadChe
in reply to lumpybag • • •There is a vast difference between a community driven project like Debian taking small contributions from people who happen to be in Israel/incorporating some things from RedHat after lots of vetting and diluting and Fedora being a direct upstream testing ground for RedHat who are the primary contributors and maintainers.
No, this type of approach will not lead to you throwing your PC in the trash, it will simply lead to you being more aware of your software and how it functions,what it contributes to, and what contributes to it. Which is a good thing imo.
For example, I use LMDE. Yes, there are most definitely contributions from redhat in my machine. the difference is between
RedHat engineers -> Fedora.
And
RedHat engineers -> Fedora -> Upstream Project acceptance-> Debian -> LMDE.
I'm not saying you need to stop using Fedora. But everyone draws a line somewhere and I'm simply making my knowledge on this known for people who's line may be in a similar place to mine.
