  • Haha yeah everyone starts somewhere. I think if it wasn’t for the pandemic and the free time it gave my I would still be really bad at the game. But apart from getting better and better, I also find it fun to discover new music through random multiplayer lobbies, going into lazer and putting all the quirky mods I can or even trying to map new levels of some songs that I personally like. I truly think past the otaku stuff osu! has a lot of great stuff to check out, specially for a ftp game.




  • I know this question is a year old, but I’m just discovering that this community is on lemmy so I guess it’s better late than never!

    So it is not just a cosmetic mode. With the classic mod, your slider head click timing is a lot more forgiving than on normal lazer. You can try it yourself: if you click on a slider somewhat early or late it still registers as a great or 300. This is how it’s done on the classic version of osu!

    I don’t know why it started this way, but maybe it was because Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (the ds game osu! is based on) also registered acc like that too.

    IIRC, the pp (performance points) system now awards you for playing without classic mode as it is, well, more challenging this way. So take that in mind if you want to climb the osu! leaderboard.



  • tomatoelytoLinux@lemmy.mlWhat distro do you use and why?

    I went into void as my first DIY distro, mainly because I wanted to mess around with window managers and it was a very good experience. Runit made my underpowered laptop boot into linux in like 4 seconds, crazy fast. XBPS package manager was always really really fast too. I like the fact that nearly everything you need is in the official repo, instead of having to delve into the depths of something like the AUR. I also managed to make a contribution to the repos with the help of the community on the IRC chat rooms which were very noob friendly. Overall just a solid experience.


  • Definitely overkill, but considering the chip is going into flagship phones it’s almost to be expected. Really going off topic here, but with this much performance, I really think the next step should be to make x86_64 apps compatible on these phones. Wine on ARM is getting pretty good with projects like FEX and Box64 being capable of getting console-like performance on full blown desktop games with these newer phones. Idk, I feel like features like Samsung Dex could actually become a serious desktop replacement if they could implement more office solutions from PC’s programs. We’re at the point where I think it would be feasible to do, imo.





  • When an app supports linux, it can do so by either:

    • packaging it for popular distro repositories,
    • giving instructions on how to build the app from the source code

    or

    • package it on distro-agnostic, package management solutions like flatpak or appImage.

    These last ones are sandboxed environments. That means they have their own dependencies isolated from your system, so they dont have to deal with every distros pecularities at the cost of using more storage space. This is very useful for developers and in your case benefitial for the user because you can have both steam and zoom via flatpak on mint, arch or any obscure distro that has flatpak available, without any major problems.

    Edit: Formatting



  • Oh yeah. My initial plan was to install termux on it and use it as a server for a simple webpage I wanted to make, but the official rom i had was 32bit and the newer termux releases only support 64bit os.

    I was going to give up, but while digging for more info I found out that for some reason the chip on my moto g4 was 64bit but not the OS. So I searched in the depths of the xda forums for a 64bit rom, which resulted in way too many dead links and dubious sources. Ended up using some obscure anime themed custom rom that crashed whenever I wanted to open the camera or use the flashlight BUT, it installed and ran termux nicely.

    Overall I got what I wanted, but there wasn’t any good quality rom I could find as they all had some sort of flaw. Hope you get better luck though! Those phones are still perfectly usable if not for lack of software support





  • I know it is an old post, but I have the same cpu in my hackintosh and also encountered this same error, but later on fixed it! Turns out I was following the instructions of coffee lake cpus instead of kaby lake (very intuitive naming scheme, intel) for the config.plist. If you’re still interested I can share you my EFI folder, see if you can fix the error
