vhalragnarok, in I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

For me it’s (outside of the usual stack):

github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper (Input-Remapper, if you have annoying proprietary thing you want to re-bind this is an amazing way to handle that)

This project made Linux viable for me, and I have not looked back at all.

There are even light and dark wallpapers with transparent version to build your own!

anothermember, in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

I do, I don’t even have Tweaks installed.

I used to be an avid customiser of software, but one day I realised that I spent a lot of time tweaking things and didn’t get a great workflow anyway.

The thing about GNOME is it has a great in-built workflow and I work more efficiently now I just let it make the decisions for me.

I also kind of think that if you’re the type to install a lot of extensions you’d probably be happier with KDE anyway.

anothermember, in Fedora Linux 39 Released As A Wonderful Upgrade For Leading Workstations & Servers

This is a great release, GNOME 45 is looking really nice.

This is a great release

As KDE F38 user, this is a super boring release. Nothing noteworthy for us to look forward to except LibreOffice 7.6 - which you can get via Flatpak anyways. I was hoping the new DNF 5 would make the cut, but guess it’s still not ready yet. :(

Guess will have to hold out my excitement until F40 for Plasma 6 and DNF 5 (hopefully).

Sentau, (edited )

I thought dnf 5 wont come with fedora 40 because that coincides with the next RHEL release so they want both of them to ship the stable and tested dnf version.

edit - FedoraProject confirming that F41 is the target for dnf5

Shalade, in We are nearing the halfway mark on our Plasma 6 drive to get 500 supporting Members! Will you push us over that line?

Done, love KDE, I hope 6 kicks ass too!

But how do we profit off of this ???

edit: lol sad you all cannot tell this was a joke -_-

OsrsNeedsF2P,

We profit through worldwide prosperity

dutchkimble,

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.

doppelgangmember,

Thanks brb :)

possiblylinux127, in New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

I want to like KDE but its still way to unstable for me on Fedora. Its probably just a matter of time before its stable enough for daily usage

jsh,

Nvidia?

possiblylinux127,

No

The real hero here is the 75 line shell script, generating the very cool SVG image from a CSV file.

beta_tester, in Fedora 39 Released with GNOME 45, Linux 6.5 + More

Everything in that article is GNOME related. Nothing is fedora 39 or linux 6.5 related

aport, in Fedora 39 Released with GNOME 45, Linux 6.5 + More

Fittingly, Fedora 39 arrives 20 years and 1 day after Fedora Core 1 was released November 6, 2003.

Time really sneaks up on you doesn’t it

aport, in Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git

I’m amazed people are still using Mercurial. I worked on a few hg projects about a decade ago and it wasn’t a very good experience. It was easy for people who used subversion, but if you were even halfway familiar with git you just missed a lot of functionality.

failed to install Debian Woody and SUSE in early naughts – finally succeeded with a Stage 1 Gentoo install (yay for me?) – a long sabbatical from Linux, back into the groove with Pop!_OS for a while, and recently replaced with Debian stable (successfully this time ;p ) – getting old enough that “bleeding edge” doesn’t hold any appeal any more, “boring” is far more interesting

lemmyvore,

Debian stable with some stuff installed in containers and some as flatpak is a sleeper. It may just be the best most Rick solid combination out there.

What Bluetooth controllers are you using? Is the Linux/Windows machine the same machine?

Not all bluetooth cheaps are equal. My phone will do Bluetooth all the way at the end of my back yard, but my desktop’s Bluetooth doesn’t even reliably reach the next room over.

I doubt it’s the headset, unless it’s defective and you need a replacement, those are pretty well regarded. I have a cheaper model and it’s been a flawless experience for years.

cyberwolfie,

Tested with four different machines, one running Linux, two using Windows 10 and one with macOS. Seems to be a codec issue where Linux and Windows defaulted to SBC and macOS to AAC (where it did not occur). Changing to LDAC on Linux helped, although I am certain I had issues with this before with that codec. On Win10 I have no wiggle room as it is my work machine, and I seem to need third party software installed to change.
