Just cut Windows out as much as possible and run everything in WSL. Setup everything to boot straight to all your WSL layers, and aside from the absolute shit Base OS, it should be the same.

Okay, but give a little look into where your disk is using space.

du -hsc /

And work from there.

It depends on where that storage was used. Some details would be useful.

At its core, you shouldn’t need to keep any previous layers than the one you’re using for the OS.

You also technically don’t need snapshots for anything but your personal file space.

Not sure what the Frame means with any of this. It’s going to be running the same stack as Deck, which is KDE. It’s also not going to be any sort of headset for your PC, at least at the outset.

As for your other Dr questions, it’s all just personal preference. The Desktop is just window dressing on a compositor and window manager anymore. If you’re comfortable without all the system helpers and convenience of using either Gnome or KDE, you can just run a WM like Hyprland or Sway instead.

There are many other NVR options out there. Try Shinobi.

Also, check and see if that memory is upgradeable for cheap, and whether it has an HDD or SSD. May be worth switching that if cheap.

Ain’t nobody gonna buy your stupid Nazibots either, di ckhead. You are universally despised.

Are you just SAVING as these file extensions, or EXPORTING as each type of file extensions.

Not the difference, and see in the File menu that you need to use the EXPORT function to change actual file type.

1. What’s a PFP?
2. What format are you uploading them in?
3. What app are they generated with?
4. Do they also look corrupted on other devices you may have handy?

How is this a “Glass House” situation?

Just flipping through…this person is either not a seasoned “Software Developer”, or possibly self-titled.

All of the confusions and problems described here would immediately be identified by someone who has experience in building and debugging software. The logic is confounding.

Why a dev who had moved to MacOS would even need a justification to just then move to Linux is also very confusing.

All the catches

I’m saying I don’t think there is in this case. I’m not sure what the use case would be simply because you could use any other tools for this specific job.

It’s like asking for an “offline browser” in a sense.

Just use NocoDB or a spreadsheet or something.

Offline first for online content? Whoa buddy, where’s this Moon you’re asking for?

Seriously though, you need to be realistic when you’re asserting your wants for a service or tool. Everyone builds tools to sync bookmarks and save lists now, because that’s a feature that users want. It’s going to be difficult to find something that is “offline”.

Try using a memo app maybe? Lots of password managers have the ability to save links, and would technically be “outside” the browser if you want them to be.

Yup. Same with any other as well. If you don’t want to use Steam, I think a lot of people find Lutris and Heroic simple.and functional for all levels of user, and they also include the ability to run Steam Runtimes and Proton versions pretty simply too.

All of these launchers run Wine under the hood, and are a good abstraction on top of that entire stack. Just makes it super simple to manage.

TLDR: use a prefix manager instead of plain Wine

You can install them anywhere, but if you’re using plain Wine, I’d suggest you instead go with something that will manage these locations for you.

Each Wine setup has what is called a “prefix”, which in the simplest sense is just a folder that is setup like a Windows C:\ drive, and includes all the shared libraries and bits needed to run the game. When a program run is launched, it is locked into this prefix, so when it goes looking for files as it would on Windows, it’s going to find a familiar folder structure, including installed dependencies like MS VC libraries and DirectX stuff.

Now…when you as a user are just using Wine directly, you’d generally be using the SAME prefix to install multiple games, which is hard to manage, and just clunky.

Prefix managers like Proton, Lutris, Bottles and even Heroic will make a new prefix for EACH program, making things like troubleshooting, switching runtimes, or invoking custom configs per program a LOT easier.

It’s a Flatpak. Did you give it proper permissions to use this hardware?

“Does a Shit Sandwich taste better than a Turd Burger?”

Nobody cares.

Not sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

May want to try installing Waybar. The default one in Sway has issues like this.
