 matan.iz | it's not for playing though, i want to become a contributor in this project, so i wannt try and compile and build from source (also for learning purposes).
though it's the second day and i did everything and it's not working still. | 16:59:46 |
 thecycoone | What is your stack / what do you mean update the libs | 17:02:52 |
| matan.iz | i am using vcpkg manager to handle 3rd party libs generally, so i've updated them using the vcpkg manager | 17:15:22 |
| thecycoone | Oh. CorsixTH can do that itself | 20:45:02 |
| thecycoone | Download vcpkg, install the packages, etc | 20:45:26 |
 lewri | Speaking of not breaking, Windows just broke my graphics driver 🥲 | 20:46:06 |
 Joconnell | I evolved into linux. Was born and raised with windows and now I daily drive linux. Have never looked back since :-). Should try it out sometime 🥳🐧🐧 | 22:16:41 |
| Joconnell | I Would try kubuntu/manjaro/linuxmint if your wanting to dip your toe. Personally not a fan of normal Ubuntu with the gnome desktop I find KDE plasma more similar and user friendly for someone coming from a windows background. | 22:20:04 |
| Joconnell | I run manjaro | 22:23:14 |
| Joconnell | Heard Linux mint is good too haven't tested even though I have a copy on my ventoy live USB ( have like 15 operating systems on one USB to install on any device its a cool peice of software just drop an iso into a folder and off you go no need to have seperate live usbs for different OS's | 22:25:25 |

| thecycoone | I run Windows 10 and Arch Linux for personal and macos for work. I like that Linux maintains hardware support so long. I like the focus on the command line which can make it easier to repeat/automate tasks. I like that it's easier to compile c/c++ in as long as you don't mind the distro supplied library versions. I like the amount of choice e.g. window managers, file systems. I prefer windows or macos for application installs (appimage embraces that model). I like that gaming in windows just works. I hate that windows shares data and advertises to me. | 03:01:18 |
| lewri | If you ever looked at Tiny10 or Tiny11 I think it strips away a lot of telementery iirc | 11:49:32 |
| lewri | They're good for vms because they have a small footprint | 11:49:47 |
 colinjmatt | So does Linux 😁 | 18:39:17 |

|  tehcrusher joined the room. | 16:43:33 |
| Joconnell | There's also the windows AME project if that's still alive open source scripts to strip windows from the spooky stuff 👀 | 20:48:21 |
| Joconnell | I like the challenge of trying to get things working on Linux lol | 20:49:02 |
| thecycoone | Heh I have an arm chromebook flashed with libreboot running archlinux arm. Challenge when I want it | 23:21:43 |

| Joconnell | Respect to that 👌 does it work well ? Chromebooks seem to be more popular now a days especially for a laptop type device for a budget. If I was to ever get one think I'd be doing something similar | 10:30:03 |
| thecycoone | I wouldn't really recommend it except as a toy. Was good when I wanted an ultralight text editor on my commute. Kernels are a gamble - for years (until it got libreboot) i had to compile my own to get them small enough for the boot loader and that tended to be a gamble. | 11:31:29 |
| thecycoone | I guess now I basically have a pinebook pro with a higher res display, but it took 6 years, and other devices may not deblob so easy. | 11:35:05 |
| Joconnell | Jeeso seems like quite a mission to get up & running. How much internal storage are on Chromebooks ? is it not something super low & do you know if they are upgradeable ? | 16:57:53 |
 mandrakehorse | I noticed that the Game Guide hadn't been updated in a few years, so I've cleaned it up and added newer screenshots for the updated Settings menus: https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/wiki/Game-Guide | 21:03:33 |
| lewri | Neat thanks, I've marked that wiki page as done in the wiki project | 21:14:28 |
| mandrakehorse | I also cleaned up the Description/Use Case column on the Sound List page https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/wiki/Sound-List | 21:20:16 |
| lewri | Do you believe the content to still be accurate? | 21:28:28 |
| mandrakehorse | Hmm, there's still a bunch of files which could have better descriptions. I've extracted the files and might have go through them later | 21:45:53 |
| 2 Oct 2023 |
| lewri | Project should be visible here: https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/projects/3
Be good to work out too if there's any wiki pages no longer requied | 07:58:26 |
| thecycoone | Joconnell: mine has 32G of soldered on emmc. You'd have to be pretty brave to try to upgrade it. It has a microsd card reader that supports up to 64G (that's what the spec sheet says, I tried a few larger cards in it and they lasted all of a couple minutes before going into read-only error mode). I run my home directory off a usb ssd now, which is a bit clunky. | 13:35:52 |
