I created a topic on the ublue discourse forum about adding winapps to Bazzite Portal: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/winapps-in-bazzite-portal/2199

I did see there was a brief discussion on this discord previously about it but it didn't seem like any conclusions were drawn. Anyway I'm interested in what people think?

Winapps in Bazzite Portal

Repo: GitHub - winapps-org/winapps: The winapps main project, forked from https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/ winapps allows Windows applications to be seamlessly integrated into Linux as if they were running natively. I’m currently talking to a fair few people who are annoyed about the recent Windows debacle. One thing that is stopping them f...

Ooxeleis What does this mean in gparted?

antheas•6/8/24, 8:11 PM

I've had many errors but not that one

antheas•6/8/24, 8:11 PM

Did it happen immediately?

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:11 PM

Is it an external drive or internal?

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:11 PM

No, it happened right at the end of allocating memory to bazzite

DDaegalus Is it an external drive or internal?

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:12 PM

Internal

Ooxeleis No, it happened right at the end of allocating memory to bazzite

antheas•6/8/24, 8:12 PM

How many minutes

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:12 PM

It was a around an hour allocating the memory

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:12 PM

Are you resizing bazzite partitions?

DDaegalus Are you resizing bazzite partitions?

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:12 PM

Yes, making it bigger

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Are you doing it from a live USB, or from the running bazzite?

antheas•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Hopefully your gf pics are safe

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Live usb

Aantheas Hopefully your gf pics are safe

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Yeah i backed all up

antheas•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Yea hopefully not on bazzite

antheas•6/8/24, 8:13 PM

Lmao

Ooxeleis Live usb

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

My only guesses then:
- bad connection to the drive, check cables.
- corrupted FS
- failing hard drive

dannymateOP•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

Could be a physical hardware issue. Maybe /dev/sda disconnected briefly

Aantheas Yea hopefully not on bazzite

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

Yeah no its in a separate pendrive lmao

antheas•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

Gparted fails like half of the time

antheas•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

It's fine

antheas•6/8/24, 8:14 PM

But usually it's immediately for me

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

And after you retry it works

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Never had corrupted data

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

It has rarely failed for me, unless there is a hardware issue

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Clicked ignore around 3 times and got the result screen

rn_image_picker_lib_temp_cc492dc6-450d-476c-aa08-b87fa30ac284.jpg

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Usually it's because KDE automounted something

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Hey that's not bad

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Make sure to run FS checks now. To make sure things are correct

DDaegalus It has rarely failed for me, unless there is a hardware issue

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Probably hardware issue, im bullyinng the shit out of My hard drive

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Maybe it worked yolo

Ooxeleis Probably hardware issue, im bullyinng the shit out of My hard drive

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Is it a hard drive?

Aantheas Maybe it worked yolo

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Maybe it did

antheas•6/8/24, 8:15 PM

Yeah it's sda

wolfyreload•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

I think it would be a better fit for the dx bluefin/aurora images with Virtual Machine Manager pre-installed than Bazzite but might work for Bazzite when Bazzite DX is released.

antheas•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

Bazzite does not like them harddrives

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

I only asked internal/external because if you Use NVME, usb drives start at sda

antheas•6/8/24, 8:16 PM

I thought weird legion laptop so ssd

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

It's weird legión laptop with hdd

antheas•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

Yeah there's a chance you'll also kill the drive doing this

antheas•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

But hey

Wwolfyreload I think it would be a better fit for the dx bluefin/aurora images with Virtual M...

dannymateOP•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

Maybe logistically but audience-wise the kinds of people who use Adobe/Office and are also on a gaming focused distro like Bazzite are not developers.

antheas•6/8/24, 8:17 PM

1tb hhd is like 30 bucks now

Aantheas 1tb hhd is like 30 bucks now

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:18 PM

Exactly, and im too autistic to NOT risk it all in favor of finding shit out

Daegalus•6/8/24, 8:20 PM

This is cool, but I will be honest, I kind of want to promote alternatives that are Linux friendly, even if just wrapped web apps, than run VMs, with RDP and all that nonsense.

Aantheas 1tb hhd is like 30 bucks now

oxeleis•6/8/24, 8:20 PM

Still, if it gets to it, imma invest on ssd from now on, hdd is suffering

Ddannymate Maybe logistically but audience-wise the kinds of people who use Adobe/Office an...

wolfyreload•6/8/24, 8:22 PM

Maybe it would make sense have Bazzite specific documentation for it but it's going to be quite a challenge to make a ujust automation for it. However, I am definitely going to test this out... I didn't know about this project

DDaegalus This is cool, but I will be honest, I kind of want to promote alternatives that ...

dannymateOP•6/8/24, 8:24 PM

I agree. I actually run a small community dedicated to that kind of thing. It's about providing options. Once they're on Linux then it'll be easier for them to try out alternatives.

My brother needed Office for work and used a tool called Cassowary, which is both the successor and predecessor to winapps :p. Once he could get settled into Linux it was possible to look at alternatives that could get him away from it. We settled on Obsidian + LanguageTool Extension + Pandoc.

dannymateOP•6/8/24, 8:25 PM

The recommendation comes from experience getting people to switch to Linux and more recently Bazzite.
