Wasn’t Manjaro supposed to be the stable version of Arch? That’s what I’ve heard.
The few years I had with Arch was pretty nice, but when something broke, it was pain to get it back working because downgrading wasn’t (isn’t?) supported. I guess I should have used snapshots of my whole system back then.
Until my distro forces wayland on me I’ll stick with xorg+XFCE. I’ve played with sway and hyprland but I need my application choices to actually work well. (no I’m not going to list them).
As for the cube desktop in the image: We had this with compiz and learnt then that this is pointless.
There’s a big difference between Working on vs is working. They’re Working on a full port, other than that you have preliminary access that’s not intended for casual users; only developers, tinkers/enthusiast & testers.
This design document is intended for Xfce developers to begin brainstorming ideas for future development. This is a work in progress and does not imply any future implementation commitments.
No blame on the XFCE devs because they’re trying to get a lot done with few people, but XFCE just managed to transition to GTK3, I wouldn’t hold my breath for comprehensive Wayland support any time soon.
They’ve made great strides towards Wayland support, considering that the vast majority of the work is being done by 1 guy.
It’s not just a lack of devs that’s contributing to slow development time either, it’s also the fact their goal is to port every single component to native Wayland without relying on Xwayland at all; which is obviously going to take way longer than just porting the essentials and saying “fuck it, use Xwayland”.
All of them: communities are so used to blow their own horn that every Distro becomes overrated in the public debate.
Each single distro is “fine” at best.
Except for Debian.
Debian is Great, Debian is Love.
How can you distinguish the the alpha cells from the numeric cells?
If you can fit that distinction in an “if” condition I would start by making an adjacent column along the lines of “if left cell is alpha then left cell else above cell”. Then you’ll have what you need except you’ll have some rows of AA BB etc. You could then either delete those rows (but only after copying and pasting values — not formulas) or better yet make a pivot table.
Also: this website shows up in my search results a lot. I know it’s not a Lemmy community, but maybe we should make a spreadsheets community if there isn’t one already!
I usually divide a cell’s value by 1. A value that isn’t numeric will throw an error. Combining that with ISERROR or IFERROR, you can do some pretty powerful stuff.
Yeah, there are plenty of ways of doing that, but I was assuming OP’s sheet had other types of cells and that the A’s and 123s were a minimal working example.
Most likely they’re still working they’re just not mapped. If you have xenv (terminal command) installed it’ll show you key presses. If they don’t show up under xenv then they aren’t working or are already being captured by something. Otherwise you’ll want to find a way to map them which is probably dependent on your DE.
Not that I can think of except maybe that whatever program was managing those hotkeys may have changed. If they show up as the wrong thing in xenv then that means your keyboard layout is set incorrectly.
This is always a hilarious conversation because the diehard Linux users will lie up and down about how Linux has no problems and it’s just you that’s too dumb to understand how to use it.
Initial setup can be hard, and then, because GNU/Linux lets you do whatever you want, It’s not hard to bork the system if you’re using commands you don’t understand. The biggest realization for me was that if I want a stable system, I can’t expect to experiment with it / customize it to the nth degree unless I have a robust rollback / recovery solution like timeshift in place. Feeling very empowered after leaving windows, I have destroyed many systems, but truly, if you set up your system and then leave it alone, these days it’s not difficult to have a good experience.
But yea, you’re totally right: the userbase can be toxic AF, and there’s no one place you can go to learn the basics you really ought to know.
After using ext4 for yyyeeeaaaarrrrrsss, when I upgraded my MX21 to MX23 I used btrfs, with subvolumes, especially for easy backup/snapshot/timeshift.
Just at install, super easy, create a small ext4 boot partition on the SSD, then a big LUKS partition, format with btrfs, create subvolumes for / /home /var /swap and that’s it. No hassle with sizing correctly.
btrfs seems pretty stable. I see no diff in performance compared to ext4 because my application are not that dependant to FS speed, and with SSD anyway?
Yet color management seems to have negative priority for Wayland while the Wayland push is strong at present. Shit or not, at least X11 has basic color management via ICC profiles; Wayland be like ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for checking. I asked ChatGPT3.5 to make a solution with excel since I have limited access to it at work. CG came up with making my data a table with Power Query & using a Fill tool, but Fill>Down isn’t doing what CG is saying it’s supposed to do.
I hope I could do this at home though because I only have Onlyoffice & Libreoffice, & excel in the browser is so limited.
The behavior you are requesting of bspwm is counter-intuitive to this rule you specifically wrote. Nonetheless, if VS Code popup windows have a different instance name, you could have a script running in the background which checks instance name of any new window and execute the command bspc desktop -f last when a VS Code popup appears.
If the instance name is the same for VS Code main app and its popup windows, you may listen to the state of VS Code windows (using bspc subscribe; see the manpage) and execute the previous command on VS Code floating windows (because popups will be floating).
For example, apply this to all VS Code windows:
<span style="color:#323232;">while bspc subscribe -c 1 node_focus node_state > /dev/null; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> bspc query -N -n "focused.floating" | while read -r wid; do
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> bspc desktop -n $wid -f last
</span><span style="color:#323232;">done
</span>
For your second question, if I understand correctly you’re trying to have a given workspace moving to your external monitor when available and returning to your primary monitor if no other monitor is connected. You can look at the archwiki to learn how to setup bspwm for multi monitors. Using the same if conditions as explained in this wiki you could also have for example a rule bspc rule -a Code follow=on desktop=‘^4’ when only one monitor is connected, and bspc rule -a Code follow=on desktop=‘^7’ when an external monitor is connected (and workspace 7 will be defined to be shown on your external monitor).
Sadly, popup window name is same as for vscode itself. I will have a look on that script, that’s something to begin with. I use only one monitor at time, I don’t use “extended mode”. And what I really want - to transfer already opened applications to workspaces from different monitor: I have vscode opened on 4th workspace on laptop, after I plug in external monitor and setup xrandr for it, than I turn it off and want to continue working with vscode on 4th workspace on latop. Right now this is not possible from the box.
If you’re using only one monitor, simply duplicate and scale your laptop screen instead of using the extended approach.
To give you a rough idea, this will look to something like this: xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1366x768 --scale 1x1 --output HDMI1 --same-as eDP1 --mode 1920x1080 --scale 0.711x0.711
Use xrandr to find the monitors names and resolution. The scale option is simply the ratio between your 2 resolutions.
You didn’t mention if you’ll be watching movies or playing videos games; if so, then you’ll wanna look for some headphones with “low latency mode” because regular bluetooth headphones will introduce about a quarter-of-a-second lag—hardly an issue if you’re just listening to music, but very noticeable when you’re watching videos or playing games.
Two low latency headphones that have worked well for me are the E600 Pro by Ankbit and the NC35 by Srhythm, both of which are in your price range (under $100 on Amazon).
EDIT 1: Both of these headphones pair with the low latency USB dongle from 1Mii, which is sold separately for around $30.
EDIT 2: Here’s a video to test the latency of your current set of headphones. I found it easiest to test by holding a piece of paper up to my screen so I could tell if the moving white bar was visible or not by the time I heard the beep. Another way that I tested was to record while holding my headphones up to my separate wired USB microphone, and then opening up the audio tracks from the latency test video itself and my recording in Audacity, at which point the latency is very visible.
Worth noting that technically, pretty much every pair of headphones will have “some” latency, but where it starts becoming a problem is anything more than 50 to 100 milliseconds, which is very noticeable when you’re playing a game and the sounds are not in sync with your in-game actions—likewise when you’re watching a video with spoken words where the words are not in sync with the subject’s lips.
If you’re just casually listening to music, there’s no issue, but anything that involves video and audio together will be very noticeable.
How common is it that they don’t have that? because it’s a long time since I had latency issues in years of Bluetooth headphones. Anker, Phillips, Sennheiser, Shokz, all sub $100 headphones and I haven’t had latency.
Maybe you happened to have low latency phones, but in my experience the low latency is explicitly marketed somewhere in the product description or on the packaging. I believe there are also different low latency technologies. For example, the 1Mii dongle and both of my wireless headphones use aptX technology.
To be clear, you’re saying you’ve watched videos and/or played video games with all your old headphones and never noticed any latency?
Yes - videos. I don’t recall latency problems since many years ago with some cheapo external speakers. FWIW I just tried a latency test on Youtube to check (currently on Shokz) and it seemed good. Frankly I have no idea if some low latency tech is being automatically used but I certainly didn’t take any steps to ensure it was (Ubuntu, these days using Pipewire).
I think we may be looking at these wrong. Yes there’s a visible throughput/latency improvement here but what about other factors? Power savings? Cache efficiency? CPU cycles saved for other co-running processes?
These are going to be pretty hard to measure without an x86_64 simulator. So I don’t fault them for not including such benches. But there might be more to the story here.
AppImages suck because I can’t pin them to my dashboard, can’t set them to open at startup and can’t set them as default apps for the appropriate filetypes.
You realize your computer won’t work without scripts, don’t you? And if you want your computer to do something it doesn’t do on its own, a simple script will make it do what you want. If that is your definition of sucking, then you need to go back to Windows, which is also loaded with scripts, by the way, so that sucks too.
You realize your computer won’t work without scripts, don’t you?
No, I don’t. In fact every Windows, Android or Mac computer I’ve used in my entire life works perfectly fine without manually running any scripts at all.
First, you set up a company, doesn’t matter the name. Hire the bare minimum number of employees maybe one to handle accounting, and one sales person to start. Make sure you pay them either minimum wage or slightly under, with a false promise of introducing a profit sharing mechanism soon to keep them motivated. Then, the magic starts. You handle key clients yourself and make your sales target various demographies - sell this graphic for 1 bison dollar per jpeg. The trick is to sell the first million within 3 months. Show these sales to banks or investors and ask them for a further 500 million to expand and scale up your sales. Then, you vanish to an unknown island in the Pacific. Easy money.
