Looking for Linux tutorials

So I’ve been programming for a while and I would like to move for Windows’s to Linux, Linux looks very technical and confusing which is why I never learnt it earlier. I’m sure it’s easier that it looks (I hope) I’m interested in learning about hosting servers and programming stuff but Linux can do a lot of stuff so for now just tutorials on the basics.

Tim Sweeney: “The real enemy of Linux are these trolls who try to overrun social media channels to make claims in bad faith and attempt to harass developers into compliance. They’re scaring lots of good game developers away.”

Trying Linux for the second time

I’ve been going back and forth with windows and Linux for a long time. The biggest drawback is finding the similar software I would use on windows onto Linux. I am a little more tech savvy since I last tried Linux so we will see how it plays out. I installed Linux Mint 19.1 “Tessa” MATE

What's the latest on Anbox?

Just curious on how it's coming along and hoping a few people with recent experience could chime in. I tried it about a year ago and it was a LONG way from ready. That said, it seems to me that with the pine phone and librem 5 around the corner (ish) there could be some real utility in seeing it succeed. Has it improved much? Is it going to be a realistic option any time soon?

Linux Environment toolkit

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a toolkit that will help in troubleshooting problems when building Linux environments

Currently I only have a simple shell noscript that simplifies curl, and makes it easier to work with lots of URL's

My goal is to make noscripts that simplify some of the commands and make them more automated

​

Constructive feedback is appreciated

​

Thanks

mplayer 4 videos simulatiously, tiled?

say I want to play multiple videos at once with mplayer, I can use the following:

​

find . -type f -name "*.mp4" | shuf | xargs -P4 -l mplayer -zoom -xy .5


and it works pretty well, my question is: can I do some sort of automatic tiling of these windows? I use xfce btw.

i386 arch is our new enemy now

Distro maintainers say that it is yet another "burden" to maintain and they don't have enough devs to maintain it, but the question is why has this started happening in the last 2-3 years? Dual architecture is a thing since about early 2000s if I recall correctly and how come they were able to afford maintenance until now?

Also, distro maintainers not supporting is something I can understand as they have to deal with low-level hardware/metal centric C code, but why VMs and interpreters? I simply don't get why Java and Node.js would remove support for i386. After all, Java's very mantra is Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) and so should be Node's as it is also a runtime with similar capabilities as Java.

Why is everyone suddenly obsessed with making i386 a villain? What great catastrophe will occur if some poor chaps sitting on older hardware are able to use it with some modern software? No compassion and humanity left these days? (open source was all about these two things when it began).
