Genki is finally making a new TXR, got announced a few days ago.

What are your favorite racing games? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (4 children)

I have a work-in-progress list here, strictly games I would consider "must play" in the genre. Notably missing the Ridge Racer and Tokyo Xtreme Racer games because I haven't played enough of them to have an opinion.

Mostly arcade and simcade racers though. If you're interested in sims:

For modding, Assetto Corsa is basically the modern rFactor.

For offline racing, Automobilista and Raceroom have pretty solid AI. Note: Raceroom's pricing model is dumb, kind of like iRacing just without the subscription.

For career mode, Project CARS 2 (not 3) is basically the only sim that even tries.

For online racing, ACC and iRacing are unmatched.

For rally, you're already playing DR2. Richard Burns Rally is also shockingly good for its age.

This website has a decent summary: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

TL:DR: Repeated dumb mistakes that a (relatively) big distro like Manjaro should not be making. Haven't heard any drama in the past year or so though, so maybe they've finally gotten their act together. Time will tell.

For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I'd still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.

Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I think that's definitely one of the roadblocks Lemmy is facing at the moment. Even though I deleted my Reddit account after the API nonsense, I'm absolutely still appending every DDG or Startpage search with "reddit." Especially with the flood of AI-generated garbage filling search results, it's the easiest way to get quick answers from (probably) real people.

However, that also relates to Reddit's other advantage, in that it actually has a decade and a half of content to be indexed in the first place. The magic of Reddit is that every question has been asked in every way at least 5 times over, Lemmy just doesn't have that history yet.

I didn't know Korn made a dubstep album in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It's pretty good IMO, as someone who hasn't listened to any other Korn album.

Anything Noisia touches is great. The Skrillex songs are also good.

I love watching live service games fail, it never gets old.

I'm trying to use Youtube's clip feature for this. If it goes to the full video, skip to 1:30.

Update on 'Best "convertible" or 2-in-1 device to run Linux on?' (Minisforum V3 first impressions) (lemmy.world)
 

So about 2 months ago I made this post about looking for an iPad replacement that runs Linux. I said I wasn't in a rush, but after thinking about it ever since and seeing the Minisforum V3 go on sale for just $1000, I pulled the trigger.

My impressions are still very new (I have used it for a total of 2 hours at this point), but I'm super happy so far. Installed Fedora 40 and almost everything works out of the box (including a Wacom MPP stylus). As mudkip mentioned in this blog, the volume buttons don't work when the keyboard is detached and auto-rotation doesn't work. The former isn't a big deal and the latter doesn't affect me in the slightest, but I can confirm those issues are still present on a stock Fedora install.

Anyway, there's not a lot of information about this tablet running Linux out there, is there anything anyone wants me to test or any questions I can answer?

Best "convertible" or 2-in-1 device to run Linux on? (lemmy.world)

The last device I own that doesn't run an open source operating system is an iPad. I basically use it as a laptop most of the time with a keyboard case, but I do like being able to take just the screen to use as a drawing/note-taking tablet. I treat it more like a "convertible" device rather than a tablet alone.

I'm not in a rush to replace it, iPadOS is, eh, usable, but there are things that get on my nerves often. I definitely wouldn't be upgrading to another iPad model if this one died. I'm curious on what kind of hardware is available out there with good Linux support that I can keep in mind for the future. My only requirements would be that it runs normal Linux distros (ideally Fedora) and has a pen/display that supports pressure sensitivity.

The Minisforum V3 looks pretty damn cool. There's also the Microsoft Surface devices that ironically seem popular with Linux users. Anyone have any experience with these kinds of devices? What do you think? What's your favorite device in this class?

A couple extra Humble Bundle keys (WRC9 + 10, MudRunner, Inertial Drift) (lemmy.world)
 

Hey, here are a couple Steam keys leftover from the latest Humble Bundle. I'm not sure if bot scraping is a problem here like it was on Reddit, so they're base64 encoded.

Switching back to Android (GrapheneOS), anything cool I've been missing out on? (lemmy.world)
 

Long story short: I don’t like iOS but have been using an iPhone for a couple years due to lack of personally viable hardware options on the Android side of things. I’ve gotten tired of waiting and found a good deal on an open box Pixel 8 Pro which arrives in a few days, I’ll be installing GrapheneOS on it.

I’ve used GrapheneOS before on a Pixel 3a. I’m familiar with some must-haves like F-Droid+Aurora Store and AntennaPod, but are there any other apps I should check out once the phone gets here that I’ve been missing out on during my time on iOS? Or just any recommendations at all for cool/useful apps that most people wouldn’t think to search for?

Bonus question for *sonic/Navidrome users, what’s your favorite Android client? I used Substacks last time I daily drove GrapheneOS, but it looks like it might not be actively maintained anymore.
