I read this as “tilting window manager” and was about to get so upset. That diagonal monitor meme has infected my brain

that’s so much more in depth than the lemmy post I saw 😭

abuttandahalf, (edited ) in How do you use your tiling window manager?

Gnome + pop shell extension. Normal i3 tiling keybinds. All the following bindings include super. w for tabbed layout, f1 for calculator, f2 for Firefox, f3 for nautilus, f4 for settings, f5 for package manager. D for search which I can use like dmenu but much better. Shift+s for screenshot. Shift+q to quit application. I program with in the terminal so I need tiling for keyboard-only use. when I first used i3 I underrated tabbing. It solved nearly all of my problems with tiling.

For my LineageOS phone I use ADB: adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera to get photos I’ve taken for example.

OP may need to install ADB and enable USB debugging. Here’s a guide if they don’t know how

If OP installed GrapheneOS they likely already have adb and USB debugging configured.

That said, as recommended in the FAQ, one should use android-file-transfer, since enabling USB debugging (and using adb) is a security breach

Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don’t think it’s a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.

This might be obvious but when you connect your phone to your PC have you enabled file transfers? Usually it defaults to charging only. It should show up in your notification bar.

NotATurtle, (edited ) in How do you use your tiling window manager?

I mostly work in qtile in a fullscreen layout or a diagonal split between two windows. My hotkeys are super+d for rofi in dmenu mode and super+q for a shutdown menu also in rofi.

Eh.

Alt + F4 to close running commands

Alt + enter for full screen

Alt + (arrow key) to switch between windows

Alt + p to run bemenu

thats it

kusivittula, in how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?

fun tip, if you have a samba share and your devices are in the same network, use a file manager that can connect to local network (like explorer by speed software), and transfer your files wirelessly. it seems to be equally fast too, i haven’t used a cable for ages except for killing updaters and bloatware with adb.

catfooddispenser,

That’s pretty neat. There’s also an SMB client called CIFS Documents Provider (by Atsushi Wada) that’s Free (MIT License) & open source.

terminhell, in Linux in the corporate space

Generally I’ll see it used for POS type machines, or relegated to a backend database that gets logged into for parts lookup or something. Have I seen Jimbo in accounting rocking Gentoo on the company PC. Never.

I’ve ran across a few professors at nearby colleges using it. Last I remember was a nuclear physicists prof using opensuse.

The next job offer I will accept needs to have free choice of OS. I work with Linux systems and Kubernetes only, no Winshit but I am forced to use this shitty piece of crap of software. It is slow,buggy and clumsy as hell - maybe because of all the corporate software stuff and GPOs, the only office tools I need are outlook and teams, no word or excel but you cannot remove all the other stuff afaik. Updating is hell because it is controlled by our IT department, sometimes my laptop needs 3 restarts or is stuck in a boot loop. Just let me support myself and let me install some Linux flavor. Don’t need any support from corporate it besides vpn connection. Really fuck companies forcing *nix guys using windows. I know that for sure now. Never again.

BCsven, (edited ) in how do i transfer files via usb c cable from a pixel 6a (grapheneos) to linux mint?

Plug in cable to PC, go into android USB setting and switch it to file transfer instead of charging mode, it should show in your file manager as a connected USB drive. ( you can tell everyone is a linux or phone techy, everone gave the complicated merhods that didn’t address the question asked, but @OP all the other methods work also )

UnfortunateShort,

TBF, KDE Connect is pretty convenient for this and other stuff

CrabAndBroom,

I have a Pixel 4a with GrapheneOS and I can never get it to find any other devices in KDE connect for some reason. Syncthing works fine though so I just use that instead.

ArcaneSlime,

If you’re using a vpn it could be preventing it, I had to allow lan on mullvad’s settings to make it work.

CrabAndBroom,

Yeah I do have Mullvad as well but it doesn’t seem to be that. I tried split tunneling KDE connect and also just turning the VPN off altogether and it made no difference.

My current guess is either some hidden security thing in GrapheneOS that I haven’t discovered yet, or maybe some router setting that’s filtering it out? The investigation is ongoing!

ArcaneSlime,

I had to specifically run mullvad lan set allow in the terminal on pc and turn on “local network sharing” on the phone app specifically. If you’re not on linux idk, but if you are and haven’t tried that it could help. Though if it doesn’t work with the mullvad disabled (and “always require vpn” off on both devices) then it probably isn’t that. If it’s a graphene setting it isn’t one enabled by default, because I got a pixel 6 last week and it works fine through mullvad to use kde connect with my settings set to allow lan.

CrabAndBroom,

K I kind of solved it! Turns out there wasn’t a setting within the Mullvad app for “always require VPN”, but there was one in the Android system settings under VPN. If I turn that off and then split tunnel KDE connect only on the phone (not on my laptop for some unknown reason) then they can see each other.

One to file under “I don’t know why that works but I’ll take it” lol.

ArcaneSlime,

Lol ayy alright! Glad you got it sorted!

BCsven,

Of course, it’s awesome; so is GSConnect on Gnome, and syncthing is awesome, and fx on android with samba shares is great. Croc on mobile to PC, etc. just the dude asks how to use USB cable and gets recompile your kernel suggestion ( I’m being hyberbolic)

He can still use the Cable C to keep the battery on.

7fb2adfb45bafcc01c80, in I'm Done With Windows, Are you?

Yup! Since 1993… Started Linux on my desktop and haven’t looked back.

000, in Linux in the corporate space

We run thousands of Red Hat VMs at my company (and probably as many Windows), and several of my colleagues run various distros on their laptops with all our required desktop tools/security agents.

library_napper, in Linux in the corporate space
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

I have only ever used Linux at work. I tried amacbookd once, then switched back to Linux.

possiblylinux127,

Honestly I deal with a lot of windows environments but I just run Windows VMs for everything.

KVM and Virtio or great
