Linux@programming.dev•Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss
1·20 days agoVertex explosions. Also some weird shader compiling stuff that I was able to solve.
For DD it’s actually fine but there’s this hilarious bug where the very last Cutscene causes the game to crash. I’m not even mad enough to try and fix it tbh, it’s just funny.

5·21 days agoRE engine games like monster hunter and dragons dogma are a mess. I blame Capcom and NVIDIA, but because not everyone is having the same issues I do it’s safe to assume there is some Linux solution out there that isn’t documented. So I guess my pain point is lack of good documentation, a tale as old as time tbf.

2·2 months agoI was just about to comment on the page name glitch effect being pretty cool. Did you use some off the shelf solution for that or make it yourself?

linux4noobs@programming.dev•Sleep AND lock when lid is closed?
1·2 months agoI assume cinnamon uses the kind of methods talked about here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/inhibit/
I don’t know anything about freedesktop and I refuse to learn, but give it a read and see if you can use it for anything.
The systemd-suspend.service also runs any scripts it finds in
/usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/, which might also be respected by whatever cinnamon is doing, or not. You can read more about it here https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/systemd-suspend.service.8.htmlFor that you’d basically put a shell script in that directory that checks if the $1 variable that is passed to it is either “pre” or “post” for suspending or waking up respectively and running whatever command you want. Again, this is hacky and might not work in all environments.

Linux@programming.dev•Amber the programming language compiled to Bash, 0.5.1 release
4·2 months agoTo add to the great response from @[email protected], amber would address one thing only: writing the syntax.
Most people don’t need it, and even if they had it would break the compliance in other ways besides syntax, but I’m sure there are people out there that know what they are doing who would appreciate amber.
Amber will still support bash stuff, or perhaps even other non-posix shells through the use of flags.

4·2 months agoI get why this is useful, and it’s useful for me as well, but the perfectionist in me asks why target bash instead of posix?

4·2 months agoI’m guessing he’s alluding to a bunch of asserts, data sanitization, and granular error reporting. But yea, who knows.

Steam@programming.dev•Other game companies could learn a thing or two from Valve/Steam.
12·4 months agoThey probably hold funds in escrow until games are outside the refund window before paying the devs, it would allow them to do this pretty easily.
I imagine they’ve had enough refund requests for games that went on sale shortly after purchase that it made sense to them to automate it. Still, if it were me I’d be automating the ticket processing rather than the refund itself to at least screw over a, most likely, large portion of the users that didn’t notice.

Linux@programming.dev•Linus Torvalds Vents Over "Completely Crazy Rust Format Checking"
7·4 months agoI was thinking the same thing about a video I just watched covering Linus ranting to someone who asked a question on the mailing list about big endian support on risc5.
Basically some guy asked in a single sentence if there was a chance for support and Linus and everyone else wrote essays about how dumb it would be, and I’m wondering why bother reporting on such a niche and completely arbitrary tirade about experimental CPU architecture.
That said it did include Linus writing a long list of similar examples of hardware choices that he finds offensive that was entertaining, and that’s probably why people report every time he rants about stuff; he puts a lot of effort into his opinions and it give people a lot to chew on if they are interested in those topics.

I’ve never once been tagged or responded to after thousands of messages, and have macro keybinds for every emote available so I can post :Kappa: and :Omegalul: as fast as possible.

Privacy@programming.dev•Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency
11·5 months agoI don’t trust anything that comes out of the intercept, but I looked around and found plenty of statements from proton about it. TL,DR they probably checked the accounts themselves before acting on the reports, and consider reversing the decision to be “exceptional” circumstances.

Z) stick it in a VM, or wipe your entire system clean before and after using it.
