@Tersevs can you detail the process a bit? where goes what component?

@popcar2 yes, the ntfs problem hit me as well, as I previously commented on other occasions. Also, I didn't think that intel mobile integrated gpu's wouldn't be recognised by opengl or vulkan, but that's how it goes apparently

@[email protected] @[email protected] hmm, now that I try to join the matrix room, I see that I'm already in it. Wonderful! this means that the people there heard my rumblings regarding kde, mostly the software, not the desktop, being very inaccessible and unusable. For the desktop, the worst is the settings app

@[email protected] @[email protected] ok, thanks! kde 5 is almost more accessible than gnome already, if it becomes better with kde 6, probably it's gonna be the default desktop for blind and visually impaired linux users, beginners and advanced alike. By advanced, I mean those who still use desktop environments, in stead of switching to a tiling window manager, like some I know do.

@[email protected] @[email protected] lol, that's a pretty interesting mistake to make, I want to do it some time! Also, I'm reading stuff about the visual issues of plasma 6, especially under wayland. However, what about accessibility? would plasma 6 become more accessible? would the orca not reading windows under wayland thing be fixed? what about the issue where you have to click the desktop with the mouse first, before you can read it with screenreaders?

that's possible, ntfs and linux are known to not work very well, as you probably have seen in this thread.

@MyFairJulia wait, you can run games from ntfs drives with linux? what ntfs driver is recommended for that? is ntfs3g broken? I'm asking because each time I try to do something like that, I do get permission issues, as you say. Worse, each time windows would make a file, the linux side would come up with a permission error when trying to access it. That's why, I don't use ntfs stuff anymore at all

@falsem @Voytrekk because they always want to be remembered in history for something good, and they're desperately trying to make something that will eventually, through no try of their own, end up both *good* and ethical. Also, they want people to use their stuff more, so that they can eventually make it proprietary or something.

@BloodSlut @ShaunaTheDead hohoho, a good head start! I had to clear some environment variables from time to time as well, especially when it comes to wine stuff misinterpreting some vars I thought are only for some specific programs I use, so it's not the first time such happened to me. Glad it worked for you, also glad you worked out what env var to clear.

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut of course it matters. Environment variables get passed to wine, after which other processes inherit them, simply because they are children of wine. Because wine makes them available to windows calls too, well, you get them in wine processes.

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut what do you mean? you can use different wine prefixes for different applications, so I don't quite get it. Also, outside bottles, I'm not sure you can run wine in flatpak

@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut yeah, I don't think that the system wide dotnet will work under wine with the windows dependencies programs want, but yeah, if it does that'll be awesome
