You can already run Linux apps using Termux and Termux-X11, and I'd say the performance would be better than this demo, because this is running in a virtual machine and uses it's own kernel, whereas with Termux you're running your apps directly on top of the Android Linux kernel. Also, you don't have the overhead of running ChromeOS on top of Android.
I don't play D4 anymore so I can't say if this still works, but back when I did, I used to launch it (ie the Battle.net launcher) from Steam, as a non-Steam game.
I also used the latest Proton-GE as the compatibility tool, so that's something you could try as well.
It's r/w, if you specify the filesystem type as ntfs3
. I believe if you use just ntfs
it'll be read-only, to mimic the behaviour of the old driver, for compatibility reasons.
Mine looks like this:
UUID=blah /media/games ntfs3 uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000,rw,user,exec,nofail,nocase,windows_names 0 0
If you're copy-pasting this, make sure your uid and gid matches of course.
But the key thing for Steam is you need to have your compatdata
folder on a Linux partition, because Proton creates folders with invalid characters (like :
). windows_names
would prevent that of course, and thus prevents corruption, but it would cause Proton to fail since if can't create those folders/files. So you'll need to symlink that folder on your NTFS disk to point to a folder on a Linux partition.
Eg:
$ mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata
$ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/games/Steam/steamapps/
Of course, before you run the above, you'll need to delete the existing compatdata
folder from the NTFS disk.
There's no need to run chkdsk
from Windows, you can run ntfsfix
directly from Linux:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/path --clear-dirty
I'd like to see a simple, dependency-free, calculator app, written in Rust, using egui. All other GUI calculator apps I've seen so far are unnecessarily heavy, using bloated toolkits like GTK or Qt.
This would be handy for those run a GTK/Qt-free environment, and/or those who just want a tiny calculator app (optimised for the smallest binary size) without any external dependencies. Preferably even compiled using musl, to remove any glibc dependencies - resulting in a simple, small, portable binary that can run on any distro and doesn't even need to be installed.
Eventually, I would like to see this idea expanded to other apps - such as a simple text editor, a simple image editor, and maybe even a simple and lightweight web browser using Servo.
ntfs3
has had several improvements in 6.2 and 6.8, and it's been pretty stable for me of late. I use it to share/backup my Steam game library mainly + for my portable drives for general data storage/local backups, and haven't had any issues.
It's not orphaned. There was a bit of lull after it was introduced in kernel 5.15, and yes it was a bit unstable in the 5.x series, but it's been pretty good since 6.2 where they finally introduced the nocase
and windows_names
mount options. The performance improvements are worth it if you use NTFS heavily, so I would personally recommend switching.
It refers to modern Intel CPUs where there are two types of cores - performance cores (P-cores) and efficient cores (E-cores). This is similar to ARM's big.LITTLE architecture which we've seen in smartphones for many years already.

If it's just Crunchyroll doing this, you can disable auto-play for it (or just disable it for all sites, IMO automatic playback of media is pretty annoying).
Another alternative is to use Auto Tab Discard, which automatically suspends tabs which are inactive after x seconds. This also helps save memory and CPU usage, and also greatly benefits laptop users. So if you tend to leave your browser open and have dozens of tabs in the background, I'd highly recommend getting this.
Indeed. But I think some confusion will still remain as long as the ntfs-3g FUSE driver is still included by distros. Because right now, you have to explicitly specify the filesystem type as ntfs3
if you want to use the new in-kernel driver, otherwise it would use ntfs-3g
. And most guides on the web still haven't been updated to use ntfs3
in the fstab, so I'm afraid this confusion will continue to persist for some time.
