Yerbouti, to linux in Fedora Asahi Remix Officially Released for Apple Silicon Macs

This is great!! I use macOS for work but I’m sure I can get 90% of the work done on Linux now! Just wondering about GPU perfomance? Video editing is crazy fast on macOS, anyone tried on Asahi?

I know that they only recently got opengl support and it was pretty primitive so I would imagine they have some work to do on the GPU side

Blisterexe,

They have full vulkan now too, but it’s not quite mature enough to be enabled by default rn (afaik)

If they can get full vulkan, maybe Zink can take care of the rest

Great news

maxprime, to linux in Calibre 7.0 E-Book Manager Introduces New Notes Feature, Support for Audio EPUBs

What is the difference between an audiobook and an audio epub? Does the latter contain both text and audio? Are they synced somehow?

LaggyKar, (edited )
@LaggyKar@programming.dev avatar

ePub is basically just a limited HTML page in a zip file (plus a bunch of metadata and CSS styles), and ePub 3 can contain audio and video elements embedded in the text, just like a webpage. With the most basic usage, it would just show up as an audio player in the middle of the text, no sync. But there is also a media overlay thing I haven’t looked much into that looks like it provides sync.

FishFace, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 "El Presidente" Officially Released, This Is What's New

Must be time for a new Linux audio system. The pipewire-pulseaudio-ALSA stack of compatibility layers is old hat already.

“With the new Desktop Cube, you can switch between workspaces in 3D. Your app windows float off the desktop surface with a parallax effect, so you can see behind them,” said the Zorin OS team. “There’s also the new Spatial Window Switcher, which replaces the standard flat Alt+Tab and Super+Tab dialog with a 3D window switcher.”

Compiz Fusion is an idea and ideas never die

giacomo,

What was old is new!

Is XFCE still an option for install? I prefer it if I ever go back.

yum13241,

Yes.

beejjorgensen, to linux in LibreOffice 7.5.8 Is Here as the Last Update in the Series, Upgrade to LibreOffice 7.6 Now
@beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Some comedian, I don’t recall who, talking about his “job interview”:

“Are you good with the Microsoft Office suite?”

“I excel at it.”

“…Did you just make an Office pun?”

“Word.”

I’ve been using LibreOffice for ages. It’s been excellent–a most impressive project.

1984, to linux in Nautilus File Manager Gets More Features Ahead of the GNOME 46 Release - 9to5Linux
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

It’s really slow progress on these things. Someone should make a better file browser with features like Dolphin for Gnome.

Nemo? Thunar?

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

No. :) Those are even less full featured than nautilus.

My dude nautilus didn’t even have its own open in terminal button until 2022.

dukatos,

Thunar is a way, way better…

const_void, to linux in Open Source Firmware Libreboot 20240126 Adds Support for New Hardware - 9to5Linux

Those Dell Latitude E6530s are going for about $100 on ebay. Time to pick one up and do some tinkering.

Axisential, to linux in Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…

Sina,

Personally i’m okay with the UI, but the default rendering is often so bad that I have to “fix” every single image. To me it’s either Raw therapee or just reboot into Windows …

manos_de_papel,

You should make a style to apply that brings you (close) to what you want. Out of the box, dakrtable shows you a minimally processed image. Its your job to take it from there.

Sina,

It shows me a very wrongly processed image. It was better when I used Fuji, but even then it was never anywhere close to what an unprocessed bland raw file should like.

manos_de_papel,

This is too vague to provide any further guidance. Again, darktable shows you a minimally processed raw image by default. You can get a good looking rendering by adding a few more modules in a style and applying that style by default.

manos_de_papel,

Have you read the basic editing section in the manual?

You can share a raw image at discuss.pixls.us and people will edit it and post the sidecar so you can see their edits.

RawTherapee is also good tho.

Axisential,

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

manos_de_papel,

If you expected to apply your lightroom workflow, then you will be frustrated, yes.

I mean this is what a proper distro loooks like. Tailoring another distro for a true, specific purpose. Kudos to the team.

Yes, it’s not just a DE and default package set but actual system improvements other distros aren’t offering. Kudos to the Asahi team for making this possible!
