BoneALisa, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?
@BoneALisa@lemm.ee avatar

I just had to switch my work computer from Arch to Ubuntu becusse they want MDM on all computers now, and flatpaks are litetally the only reason i can tolerate it.

I now prioritise getting stuff from flatpaks, then the repos, and if they dont exist i use Distrobox to export any app thats only on the AUR for example.

www.omgubuntu.co.uk has some decent new and app update news here and there, and other generalized release news for various other distros aside from Ubuntu.

Add in regexr as well

regex101 also excellent

SNFi,

That’s a cool website, but maybe more for programmers or hackers (I don’t mean evil people, just people that likes to use scripts).

two_wheel2,

Totally fair, and largely what I use it for, but it’s also helpful in the term at times to just get out a weird regex for a weirder file operation you don’t want to dork

SNFi,

Yeah right, it’s worth to learn regex for those moments when you need to rename many files with weird and unstructured names.

this is just low quality content trying to grab a few clicks. it should be removed.

kirk781,

That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.

Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!

metaStatic,

with Anita in the thumbnail I'd be surprised if it gets double digit clicks

heleos, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

I had heroic games launcher as a flatpak and my FPS was 33% lower than a native install of heroic

But I didn't bookmark them, so where do we go from here? The judgy tone isn't helping.

abuttandahalf,

Are you getting offended from a listicle title?

The intro is a little less proscriptive: “ Here's the list of my favorite Linux websites. Perhaps you'll like them too.”

piexil, in Shoutout to fwupd for updating device firmware

FYI fwupd also works on windows

There’s an MSI in the releases github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases

I thought I read somewhere that windows update would eventually pull from lvfs but I can’t find a source for that

stella, in Are there any downsides to using Homebrew as a package manager on Linux?

Not sure why you would want to.

Linux package managers are state of the art.

alt, (edited )

Not sure why you would want to.

😅, it’s explained in OP.

Linux package managers are state of the art.

I wonder if Nix-users would agree 🤔.

IMO:

  • Arch Wiki
  • Gentoo Wiki
  • Your distro’s wiki
  • Your DE/WM’s wiki
  • Documentation, bug tracker, etc. of things that you use on a regular basis
  • Some people’s who use similar things to you dotfiles
roguetrick,

Yeah but which only fans pages should I follow as a Linux user

Who even uses bookmarks anymore?
Just keep your tabs open.

beta_tester,

Wtf Bookmarks are the futute, old man.

FQQD,

People who like to have a fresh start when opening the browser

LeFantome, in Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?

I have the various latest release of EndeavourOS running on a 2008 iMac and a Dell laptop that I cannot remember the model of that is even older.

@LeFantome @Macaroni9538

Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)

  • nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
