wwwgem, in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

Any headphones should work (if your hardware supports it if using bluetooth). I’ve connected at least 4 different brands from no name to Aftershokz with no issues. Even tried airpods for a friend.

I think pretty much any wireless headphone should work on Linux; my Airpods seem to work fine.

Goun, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Ubuntu. It has become so shitty over time, it’s oretty sad.

phoenixz,

Ubuntu. Started out great but every release got worse with time.

I’ve always used KDE, so always was on kubuntu, or mint, but my latest kubuntu install managed to piss me off badly with its systemd taking over. A simple 10 seconds port=number config in sshd_config change now requires 20 minutes of searches, documentation readup, cursing, and jumping systemd hoops

FUCK systemd

Also FUCK SNAP. Absolute horrid garbage.

My next distro will be debian or some derivative, bye bye Ubuntu

Goun,

I’ve learned to like systemd over time, but not snaps and how Canonical handles things.

Debian also uses systemd nowadays, maybe you can try devuan (I think that’s how it’s called,) which is debian based but without systemd. I only tried it once on a server but came back to debian.

Mint, actually. I tried it and found it too similar to windows and not customisable enough for my liking.

SendMePhotos, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

Wasn’t a fan of Ubuntu, RedHat, Debían…

I guess I’m just a Fedora person? I’m on KDE right now, usually Xfce. Idk I’m enjoying my KDE experience.

Mint was pretty smooth. No complaints.

My laptop has BT built in and it works fine with everything I’ve connected to it so I don’t see why any BT headphones wouldn’t work. I think you probably just need to get a BT card/dongle for your system and then you can use whatever headphones you want. So the question you probably should be asking is: what BT card/dongle works with my system?

elementary os. Installed it, and noped right out of there the same day. On paper, it should be great. Maybe the execution was flawless for macfans, but it was not for me. I do appreciate how they tried to make an easy transitional Linux for macfans, though, and I do not regret the donation because of that fact.

I have been quite happy with my knock off no name over the ear Chinese/amazon special for months now.

When the battery life starts to suffer, I’ll spend the fifteen bucks again, but hasn’t been a problem at all.

Manjaro LXQT, on a Lenovo P70 that’s starting to show its age. They just work.

It’s basically the same headset hardware that I would’ve used in 2008 or so, tbh. Sound quality isn’t perfect but I am not an audiophile. They work equally well for music from my phone while driving since they’re one ear only.

Fingers crossed the Wayland bug is gone and I can move to Wayland.

penquin, in KDE KWin Merge Request For Triple Buffering

Nice. I keep forgetting to install it. Plasma is snappy as is

Samueru, (edited ) in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

It pains me to say this, but voidlinux, though I’m still not in the stage of “this one is not for me”, it has potential and hopefully I can sort all the issues I’ve encountered so far.

I’ve tried multiple distros, and also used artix for a while so I’m used to not using systemd but man void is really another thing, this isn’t the first time I’ve used it, I tried it a year ago and gave up, recently I decided that I’m up for the challenge and began using it again, here’s what has happened so far:

Well right now I’m dealing with the pc freezing when quitting the user session, for some reason I need to exit i3 before logging out, otherwise the system freezes.

Also I wasn’t able to get a clean boot screen even though I had the typical kernel parameters quiet, loglevel, etc, it even prints info on the login prompt where I should be putting my username, though I managed to mitigate this a lot by passing a kernel parameter that tells it to use another tty for the boot messages.

file-roller is broken, I can’t compress some directories to 7zip, the weird thing is that it only happens to some directories and not all.

Though the very good news is that they fix issues very fast, puddletag was broken and they fixed it in like 2 hours after I reported the issue.

Edit: It is not just file-roller that is broken, it is all of 7zip on void, I can’t compress with xarchiver either

librards_sucks,

Fadora or ache are pretty good

caseyweederman, in D-Bus overview

Wait. Is xfconf-query just a front-end for one branch of dbus?

caseyweederman,

Looks like xfconf merely shares the hierarchical structure. Still… Hm.

moon, in Firefox 122 Enters Public Beta Testing with Improved Built-In Translation Feature

I’m hoping their translation software ends up supporting Chinese/Japanese. Also come to Android please! Hopefully on Android in and out of reader mode.

I would dig this, I’d bet it’s in the works. Biggest question is when it’ll be released.

EccTM, in Firefox 122 Enters Public Beta Testing with Improved Built-In Translation Feature

I wish they’d remove the US-only geo-restriction they have on half the autofill functionality.

Isn't that due to stricter data collection/retention regulations in the EU?

Vincent,

I think it's just because some things have country-specific formats. For example, if you want to prefill credit card details, you have to figure out how the credit card fields are labelled.

The feature is a privacy nightmare. I wish it was done locally.

Edit: it is

moon,

It is done locally
