TLDR; The developer of tachiyomi got threads from the manga publisher’s lawyers. So he archived his repo. Other devs forked it to keep the project alive.

Sure thing!

I’m using Yōkai.

I don’t know about windows to go. But rufus? Isn’t it just writing images to usb drives? Sounds like you’re looking for the dd command. You can write images with

dd if=/path/to/my/image of=/dev/[insert device here] status=progress

I like MakeMKV. It also works flawlessly with modern formats like (4k-)BluRays. Also it’s super simple to use. Just throw your disk in, press the big shiny button and wait till it rips your disk. It even handles the decryption for you.

I don’t know if i3 can do this too, but in sway you can also move windows using the mouse. Just hit mod+the left mouse button and drag it around. However I usually just go with the Keyboard. Mod+shift+arrow is just faster.

Awww 💜

Oh, one more thing regarding the ssh wizardry (lol!): It’s not that complicated. You can pass your command as last parameter. For example if you want to launch Dorfromantik (which you should btw), you could do it like this:

ssh me@mymachine "steam steam://rungameid/1455840"

That’s the whole magic. Like this it won’t start an interactive shell, but run the command and closes the connection once the command finishes.

A man, a word. This is my gamescope-session.sh

#!/bin/sh

export DXVK_HDR=1
/usr/bin/gamescope --hdr-enabled -e -- /usr/bin/steam-native -tenfoot

I’ve created a /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gamescope-session.desktop for it, so I can launch it from login screen (or auto start it in my case)

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Steam Big Picture Mode
Comment=Start Steam in Big Picture Mode
Exec=/home/chaser/bin/gamescope-session.sh
Type=Application

In theory this should run all games, that support hdr in hdr. At least Cyberpunk does.

If I remember correctly I had to give gamescope a flag to enable hdr at all. However there was an env too, to tell the windows games through proton, that the machine supports hdr. I’ll check my scripts later for you

+1 for Lutris! It’s not only good for games, but also for regular Windows software like FL Studio. Another “tool” I use a lot is ssh. I use Gamescope on my PC with Steam Big Picture mode. Gamescope gains a few more fps, than a regular de. Also HDR works just fine with it. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Gamescope However. Sometimes I need an desktop environment. So I created a Home Assistant automation, that allows me to switch to desktop. Now I have 2 buttons on my smartwatch. One to boot the PC and turn on the tv, avr, etc. The other for the desktop mode. I also have some nfc cards for my favorite games. Same thing here: When scanned they trigger a ha automation, which starts the games over ssh 😎

I know, it sounds odd, but: Arch! Once my best friend wanted to try linux. So he asked me, which distro to use. I gave him an honest answer: “I use Arch. But for beginners I would recommend Mint.” He don’t gave a shit and installed Arch anyways 😅 - with success! That’s when I noticed, that the Arch Wiki is actually SO GOOD, that even a newbie can install Arch without any help. It’s just a bit more time expensive, compared to distros with an installer. However, there are some huge benefits, that made me switch to Arch:

• I used Ubuntu on my daily driver before. However “stable” packages means in this case “antique”. A 3 years old version of Sway isn’t more stable than the newest release version.
• I never survived a dist-upgrade. That’s why i prefer a roling release linux today.
• Your system is slim, because you only install what you really need. Also you know your system this way.
• Especially for gaming it’s good to have the newest kernel + drivers.

However, you should also notice the down sides. Sometimes an update breaks something. It doesn’t happens often, but it happens. A few years ago the bluetooth stack was broken, so i wasn’t able to use my headset during a meeting. However they released a fix like a few hours later, so I just needed to update. But still: That’s something to consider too.

Another hint: Even if Lutris claims to be for games, there are often install scripts for windows applications too. So it may be worth to try to run your apps with Lutris. It should be in the mint packages (try sudo apt install lutris). Then you can add your software in Lutris with the upper left “+” button. Just use the search in the dialog box. I managed to run FL Studio like this, exactly as performant as on windows. Good luck and welcome to the linux family!
