Hello humans, recently I've become obsessed with trying to add the metainfo of certain games to gnome software because I'm annoyed with the fact that right-clicking a .desktop menu entry of a game on gnome always leads to ("Could not find info about that" in gnome-software) ok thats obvious because the .desktop was created by lutris, but I just want to have it display that metadata, so I spend two nights researching about it and it always failed, after burning my brain for two days I decided to try the metainfo + .desktop files on pop_OS! (with gnome) and it worked on the first try, I notice that gnome-software can't display any application that is not a flatpak in Arch Linux, is there another location where I should be putting the files instead of /usr/share/metainfo or ~/.local/share/metainfo in the case of Arch ?

I know this may seem like a pointless thing, well it may be an stupid and small detail but still I want to know how to get that to work ! if someone knows the answer I would be really grateful to know it,

I tried reading the source code of gnome-software but it's like a maze for a web backend junior like me, maybe I should learn C

Hello, one of the reasons I avoid Steam for games that don't have native Linux versions is because it creates a prefix per install, and each prefix has a bunch of dlls, fonts, etc. I know that some prefixes need different or specific files for max compatibility and performance, but shouldn't there be some directory like proton_11_common_files or something like that that contains all files that a proton_11 prefix will always have independent of other settings/files ?

for example imagine if those files that will be the same no matter the game are 300mbs, if that could be just system links inside the prefixes if a player had 10 games with the same proton version instead of using 3GBs in those files it would be just 300mbs, this is just and idea from someone who doesn't know much about the internal working of wine/proton, but if that were possible I think it would be a really good optimization

Hello r/Backend, since I saw a post about someone rejecting a job offer because it was Windows only a few minutes ago I started to have curiosity about how many of us prefer or use Linux for development.

Seeing how much is the gaming community growing on Linux it surprises me how Epic is not available, some customers prefer Epic instead of Steam or just want more alternatives, is there anything stopping Epic from coming to Linux ?

I would gladly buy on Epic if it becomes available

Hola gente de r/Peru_Republic , en vista de que ultimamente el mundo de los sistemas operativos esta cada vez mas peleado entre Linux y Windows me percate que pocas veces se habla de esto en Latinoamerica y en Perú, por lo cual hago esta encuesta para saber un poco mejor como va la tendencia de sistemas operativos en Perú

Hola comunidad de r/chileIT, estuve haciendo varias entrevistas para practicantes en mi trabajo actual, me sorprendio que varios candidatos que recien terminaron de estudiar la carrera de Ing Informatica no sepan cosas como: en que parte de una request van las credenciales (ej: token), para que es una migracion en django o para que sirve le herencia de clases en python.

Estoy poniendo la barra muy alta o simplemente esta tan mal la nueva generacion?
yo egrese hace poco de la misma carrera y ya tenia esos conocimientos al momento de buscar practica.

Everytime I buy a Linux native game from GoG I get a .sh script that needs me to use a terminal, as a guy who uses the terminal often this isn't a problem for me, but for most of the users they may even not know how to use this thing, there are various graphical frameworks like GTK or QT to do something more intuitive or pretty.

Hola gente, hago esta pregunta por que llevo mas de 5 meses trabajando como ing informatico en la pyme donde complete mi practica por lo que es mi primer trabajo y no se cuanto ganan o como trabajan otros informaticos.

Resulta que gano menos de 700k y desarrolle un sistema de ventas offline first desde 0, tolerante a errores (se cae el sistema o un computador y todo puede seguir funcionando, al retomar la conexion todo se sincroniza), incluso maneja permisos y dashboards online.

Empezo como mi practica y ya esta en produccion hace un par de meses, ademas existe la posibilidad de que se venda como un servicio a otras empresas.

Por un tiempo estuve viendo otras ofertas laborales pero todas las que me interesan piden +2 años de experiencia asi que en cierto punto deje de buscar.

El otro dia me puse a pensar que un vendedor de mall gana mas que yo sin titulo y eso me dejo pensando, es normal ganar tan poco como ing en informatica ?
