I think it’s still a migration of a rather knowledgeable part of the windows users. I did migrate a year ago because of frustrations from windows pop ups showing up like they own the computer.

I a still reluctant to recommend it to my partner who is comfortable with windows but not really techy. As long as Linux works, it works. But when you need something a bit more involved or something breaks, the terminal will be harder for those users who might not have ever opened CMD in windows.

Take it easy, you’ll get your vr legs eventually. The key for me was to learn to detect when my body was starting to feel bad, stop immediately and go take a break. If you stop the symptoms early you can take regular short breaks instead of being drowsy all night.

Also, find some easier games for your stomach. Typically, stuff in a vehicle/plane/spaceship is easier for the brain because it understands something is moving but not you.

Static games work too. Beat saber is the classic but I’d like to recommend SynthRider.

Also, play around with the settings when you’re fresh and see what works. The black blinders on the side help most people but it make nausea worse for me.

I think I solved the permission issue? See edit in the main post.

Is there a command to check that?

sudo chmod 777 /your/linguacafe/temp/folder -R

I have done that and it doesn’t seem to help. Edited main post to reflect that.

Sorry that’s on me. That’s one thing I removed from the pastebin file on purpose, it’s here in the real one. I copy paste my path to be sure it’s correct.

Went from 35h/week to 40. It’s made my life so much more complicated because everything is closed when I’m finally free. I have to take from my holidays to get my car repaired.

If you edit the password with the typo version, then the typo effectively becomes the truth and you don’t make a typo anymore, thus don’t have to correct the typo anymore.

Yeah, I’m trying to use neural DSP stuff along with guitar pro. Reaper works on Linux so the DAW is ok. I’ll take a look at yawbrige, thanks!

Just jump. I went Linux a month ago and never had to go back for gaming. I still have windows installed but I’ve used it only twice because music plugins are not compatible with Linux. Once I find a good guitar amp for my needs I can nuke windows entirely.

Thanks a lot! I certainly need to learn about permissions and docker mapped directories in general. This is still very unclear in my head and it prevents me from troubleshooting my own stuff which is frustrating. You’re all very cool but I’d like to not post a lemmy every time an app has wrong permissions haha. I’ll have a read.

Good idea! I tried sync with my other computer and the software complained about not having permissions on the postgres folder. I investigated and found out postgres directory is owned by user:70. I have yet to find where that comes from. I changed it with a sudo chown but it reverts to the wrong owner when I restart the container.

That’s basically what the author of the app told me to do. I’m having wrong permission issues I believe and I haven’t found yet who/what assigns the wrong permission when I start the container.

I tried using tar as you said, and it didn’t work. Which led me to investigate and realize the owner of the postgres folder is unknown to me. Changed it back with CHOWN but it reverts back to the weird owner when I restart the container so I’m missing some knowledge and know-how. I’m trying to figure out who sets that permission in the first place.

I thought so, too. I played around with the tar idea and it led me to discover the permissions are wrong on the original computer. I have added new info on the main post about it but basically the owner is “user:70” and I have no idea where that comes from. I tried using CHOWN to reset everything to my own user, which is the same on both computers (1000:1000 uidguid), but whenever I restart the container, it locks again.

So far I’ve tried Debian12 on my old laptop and Mint on my self hosting rig. I think I’ll sping so VMs and test new distros before commiting to a full install. I wasn’t too happy with Mint because its boot time is much slower than Debian on a comparatively better machine so I’m not too tempted to go for it again. But maybe I messed up something and caused slow boot times.

Oh great! Thanks :)

Yeah I’m not worried about encryption, it’s more about convenience to not start from scratch every time, but whatever is critical is duplicated in several places and wouldn’t be lost if I were to lose the entire machine. It’s more me being lazy and wiling to avoid transferring games and music again if possible.

Cool! And how do you proceed to switch distro then? Let’s say I have done as described above and separated the distro in its own partition. I plug a new USB distro, go through the setup and at the partitioner screen, I reassociate the new distro to where the old one was, and /home to where /home was, etc? And it just picks up that there are files there?

That’s a nice comment. Thank you! :)

Gotta figure how to use my Quest2 on PC from Linux. I used Virtual Desktop on Windows but I couldn’t find documentation to use it on Linux.
