Running x64/x86 #Windows programs on 64-bit #ARM #Linux device with Wine64/Wine and #Box64 / #Box86: github.com/ptitSeb/box64/blob/

🍷 #Wine 10.0 inside a #Debian #Distrobox container, adapted from: wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Ste

What I've managed to get working so far: 3D #Pinball and winemine (the Wine #Minesweeper #game).

I tried #StarCraft, without success 😞

#nostalgia

♻️ #postmarketOS v24.12 stable
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3

so far my only hangup with #bazzite 42 is that the caffeine gnome extension appears to be an older version so i'll wait for another stable update and use jiggler from pypi for the time being or install one of the various caffeine clones in #distrobox. incredible that it's the only issue.

I've been using Fedora 42 KDE edition since it's gotten into beta on March 18 and it's a breeze! Rock solid, zero problems so far and amazing and up to date software.

Linux Kernel 6.14 :linux:
KDE Plasma 6.3 :kde:
MESA graphics library 25.0.3
fish shell version 4.0.1 🐠
Podman 5.4 :podman:
Gimp 3.0

It's awesome to use and performance on both my primary machines (A Lenovo ThinkPad T480 and a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s gen4 AMD) is just perfect.

Will probably stay on 42 for ~1-2 months before things get overly boring and I update to Rawhide again 🙂

Also running a RHEL10 beta (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) container via Podman and Distrobox.

#fedora#redhat#rhel

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 Beta (RHEL10) running in Distrobox/Podman on a Fedora host-system.

When registering the host-system with subscription-manager, the guest becomes a real RHEL instead of a UBI, enabling all the package repositories.

#rhel#redhat#fedora

Et voilà ! Un système fonctionnel 🥳

Maintenant je voulais encore explorer la possibilité d'utiliser #distrobox pour mes environnements de développement comme ça je n'aurai pas à installer des paquets depuis SID quand ça m'arrange 🙄
Si qqn a un bon guide pour ça je suis preneur !

Continued thread

I used to spend time updating individual Toolbox instances with apt or dnf. My new method is to nuke ALL OF THEM and the images that made them and start from scratch with new images on a fairly regular basis.

Still wondering if I shouldn't just layer Distrobox and make my life (comparatively) easier.

I have installed #davinciresolve in a #distrobox container on my computer and so far it is working fine.
The only thing I have not been able to resolve is that I get a super tiny mouse pointer despite the rest of the UI scaling correctly.
I have tried environment variables such as `QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2` but have had no luck.
I am using GNOME with Wayland on a 4k display.
Does anyone have any tips for me? Thanks in advance! 🫣😊🤓
#linux

One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.

Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me. I always have to resort to `rpm-ostree` and then uninstall it so BootC can update the system. Every single time.

Meta banned Distrowatch.

Distrowatch did an inception.

Blogs run with story meta bans Linux communities for reasons™.

Editors only use two posts by Distrowatch, from their own forums~ comments no less as source.

Anyway Comrades, fact check media before sharing eh?

Shout-out to EposVox for putting this into better words than I:

I myself 🎮 on #Bazzite #Linux with my #AMD 7900XTX.

If one needs assistance, check out:

One can use the Yafti/Portal on a first run, or anytime for GUI application assistance as well. Ujust commands are not the only way.

#Distrobox is really underrated!
Ironically the #GearLever #Flatpak makes using #appimage completely painless as well.

I have to learn how to use Podman/Quadlet stuffs.... It is a learning journey of rabbithole fun for me.
