MonkCanatella, in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

I don’t really see any benefit to using pure gnome. Extensions aren’t a negative if they improve your workflow.

selokichtli, (edited ) in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

I do. I miss the system tray, to be honest. My way to deal with it is to just push applications I need running all the time to the last workspace and leave this alone. Sometimes I close them unintendedly, oh well…

Can’t go wrong with Debian and some ligthweight desktop environment, like xfce, as someone also mentioned here

LibreSprite is cool for creating and animating 2d pixel stuff.

Welcome on board!

You revealed in your previous post to be a gamer. Therefore, I’d like to focus on software that might help with that (in alpabetical order):

For a one-stop-solution for all your problems related to package X not being available in the repos of distro Y; consider the more than excellent https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox.

  1. You should probably start with this one as the others might be less intuitive to you at the moment. Furthermore, their use-cases and thus why one might prefer the others over Lutris in the first place might not be clear currently and not even be stuff you worry about in the first place.

The only extention I use is system tray, cause I rely on apps that use it. But everything else is Gnome-way and I love it

I’m surprises no one has mentioned the ones I use most days.

  • git (version control software development)
  • openssh (for ssh connections to other devices)
  • handbrake (video transcoding)
  • Element (matrix client)
metaStatic,

I literally had to run the windows version of handbrake in virtual box because for some reason the linux version can't save to the same directory as the input files while batch processing.

basically the same otherwise, fine for single files.

Strit,
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I’ve had no issues saving to same folder as source when doing batch transcoding queues on Arch Linux. As long as the input and output files does not have the same filename it’s fine.

metaStatic,

there was no way to set default path so everything got saved to the top level directory. maybe they've added it since but this wasn't that long ago.

I just realized you might be talking about the CLI version? I’m talking about the GUI version.

@BlueEther@no.lastname.nz avatar

I cut my teeth on Mandrake 7.0.

There are many names on that list that I have tried over the years, but use Debian and openSUSE normally

Dash to dock. I just have to. I put it on the left Ubuntu style and I’m happy

Looks good, distro forums will be the new XDA.

“sAr, when linux karnal 6.9 OC boLTE?”

“I installed all DEs and on my computar now not boot”

“When debian update sar?”

fafok20662,

Indians must be restricted from using the internet to prevent this. Giving them access to the internet was a mistake.

Sygheil, (edited )
@Sygheil@lemmy.world avatar

The general populace using these shouldn’t have or perhaps gone through some fundamentals and not joining the trend/hype of modifications to just to look cool (and going to complain about issues later on and rant like hell), there are few who knew what they are doing and contributing to the development community.

SoaringDE,

Oh my god please touch grass

fafok20662,

SIR

radioactiveradio,

Someone let a redditor loose in the fediverse.

sag,

As an Indian, I never ask someone to help me set up my Linux, understand its usage, or troubleshoot any issues. Instead, I read the entire wiki or search the web to find a solution on my own. If I still can’t find any help, I move on and forget about that.

Sygheil,
@Sygheil@lemmy.world avatar

Splendid, keep it up!

30p87,

And if you do ask someone, your grammar is on point.

KISSmyOS,

If I have an issue with Linux, I look for a tutorial on Youtube. Most of the time the best result is a video of an Indian kid half my age who explains exactly what I need in a concise easy to understand manner, while typing every word they say into notepad.

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

I always keep GIMP and VLC player installed. If you get comfortable using command line. Tmux and Neovim are a great duo.

    This is funny because 2008 is also when I got stuck on it. Interesting read, thanks for sharing!
