It takes zero effort to package Electon apps for Linux, there are plenty of tools available that will package it for all platforms with one command. And so far, I've not seen any differences or platform specific bugs. Sure, you'd

It's certainly lowered the barrier of entry for me, and I'm no web developer - my background is mostly back-end Java. Sure, I started out by making websites when I was younger, and a few of my jobs have involved a bit of front end

Termux is a bit of a different concept to JuiceSSH. Termux is just 100% terminal, you can install packages through apt in the command line, use standard Linux utils from your phone and on the local file system. It has no GUI. Personally I l

Regional rights agreements are really slowing down the move of TV to online. Publishers say "well, we already signed these agreements with these TV companies, so we can't let this shows be streamed online in those countries".

Baikal [1] is another alternative. It works fine for me. Unfortunately CalDAV is quite an awkward standard for calendars and not supported by everything, so none of these implementations are perfect, but for my purposes it works well and I&

There are already various servers you can set up at home or on a personal server based on CardDAV, which is an open standard for exactly this purpose. I set one up for myself in a day, and I can easily access it on my phone and, from a web

It might have been set up as an April Fool's joke, but it is also a real thing that works.

Ah, that's fine in theory then - I use a dkms package on Arch too since I use a non standard kernel with VFIO patches for PCI passthrough. Interestingly I see people have reported getting PCI passthrough working with the standard SUSE

This does all sound quite compelling. Somehow OpenSUSE has fallen under my radar, I've been an Arch user for a few years, and Gentoo user before that, and I'd only ever be interested in rolling distros, but I wasn't aware tha

Why do you want this? A watch is too small (in my opinion) to replace a phone entirely, so you'd likely be carrying around a phone all the time anyway. Using bluetooth to share the phone's internet connection seems more sensible t

Final Fantasy XIV deserves a mention here too. Though it came back some months later, the original version was a massive failure, so they ended up remaking the entire game. They planned out a whole apocalyptic event for when the original se

It depends where you are. In the UK, their selection of TV is much more limited than the US - for example we don't have your example of Mad Men. Their original shows are very good though, and they have a decent selection of British TV

Same, I mostly just use it for the original shows, and occasionally I'll go on there when I want to watch a random movie. For normal TV shows I'll usually watch them when they air through "other methods", since it's

I wanted to, and tried to use it to watch the new season of Community that they made. Thanks to region locks, dated technology, ads, and a generally awful website, I gave up.

Works fine on Linux. The IDE is Java based and it packages all the necessary tools with it so it should work fine anywhere.

"Cloud gaming" has plenty of issues with performance and latency (see the now-defunct OnLive) and is too reliant on a user's internet connection. TVs may have better hardware than 10 year old consoles but certainly aren'

I think that was just with his fresh install which caused additional problems, he still had other issues with his original install, which I assume was 64 bit. It's not exactly clear from his writing though. Also this makes me wonder wh

It doesn't work for me with Firefox on Linux, and they state it's not supported (yet?). What version are you running?

Sounds like it would be very difficult to get right. I can imagine a lot of false positives where I want to do a normal click, but I happen to press lighter than usual so it registers it as a "peek". Maybe they'll do it well

Firefox supports H.264 via system codecs, and supports MPEG-DASH as of version 41 (currently beta, will be stable in a few weeks). MPEG-DASH is a more open standard, and has better support for adaptive bitrate streaming, so I think it'

You can also play words from previous days by going to the leaderboard, selecting another day at the top, then clicking "play this word"

Tl;dr: Yes, with a bit of effort and maybe some compromises. A lot of software/games do have native Linux versions these days, and for those that don't, there is Wine, which does a very good job of running a lot of Windows softwar

Two different nvidia cards should work, but I don't think it's possible to do it with two cards of the same model. You can't switch a GPU between host and VM without rebooting, you have to assign one GPU to the VM through ker

http://vfio.blogspot.com/ is a good guide for setting it up. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/2z2y7h/gpu_pa... is another fairly concise guide (a little out of date though)

Even in terms of "Unity the game engine" it's confusing. Unity has supported building for Linux for a long time, and the majority of Unity games have been released for Linux. This is specifically the editor for creating games

I'm an Arch and Gentoo user, and I've yet to come across anything that only runs on Ubuntu, despite plenty of things only "supporting" Ubuntu. Something might only be distributed as a deb, or rely on specific package ver

On the plus side, at least with that hardware you can probably run the game at a playable framerate. Of course, "playable" isn't really acceptable on hardware like that, but it sounds like at the moment, anything less than du

The Mac and Linux/SteamOS versions are being outsourced to Feral. They've done a good job with XCOM on Mac/Linux and the previous Batman games on Mac so I have confidence in them doing a decent job there. It'd be interes

As someone who uses Linux for everything but just had to start using OS X for work, it's really hard to migrate. Remapping ctrl to cmd and various other keyboard oddities, unfamiliar mouse acceleration, and missing features like middle
