EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, in Does anybody use Thunderbird on Android a.k.a. K-9
@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I do not, but only because I use ProtonMail and don’t have premium so I don’t have IMAP/SMTP bridging.

I used it all the time back around 2011/2012 and it was pretty great, but that was admittedly a long time ago so I imagine lots have changed since them.

Ofc. This is the way,

turkelton, in What devices run with free firmware?

X200 Libre ftw

BennyHill500, in Am I going off the deep end by considering Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite?

If you wanna switch to Silverblue, i would highly recommend the universal blue images, they have a whole bunch of different DE version, specialized versions for example: bazzite for gaming, and they also have framework specific images for most of them.

with ublue i dont have to layer a single package over my basic image (silverblue-nvidia).

All the apps are installed as Flatpak, except the ones that dont have one run on Distroboxes (distrobox is included in ublue images and highly recommended over the default toolbox in silverblue)

universal-blue.org

Churbleyimyam, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

I’ve gone back to using packages from my repo. I was all-in with flatpaks for a while because they tend to be more up to date than my distro’s packages and I liked the idea of the sandboxing but in practice I’ve found it a nuisance getting applications to speak to each other and I don’t like all the redundant code bloating my internal drive. The thing that really did it for me though was the other day when I had to restore my system from a Timeshift backup. It took an hour and a half to restore a recent backup, with well over 90% of that time showing as flatpak stuff.

woelkchen, in Anyone have experience with Intel Arc GPUs?
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

As a general rule for new hardware from Linux friendly companies, you’re pretty much in the best possible position already by using a rolling release distribution. It’s the same with AMD where reports of bugs from 6 months ago are basically ancient past by now.

capy.life creator here, incredible tool

mactan, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

it’s my preference for proprietary apps

p_q, in How to choose a computer/laptop/device that is better compatible with linux? Are there certain things to look out for when shopping?

they pretty much all run linux ootb. Question is: What devices run without binary blobs underneath the OS?

Macaroni9538,

Sorry, over my head on what a binary blob is lol does it have anything to do with proprietary stuff?

HumanPerson,

IIRC it means a binary large object. Typically a proprietary part of firmware. Commonly needed for WiFi cards but there are other things too.

Macaroni9538,

Aha! so im not so stupid after all lol I was pretty much right. so how do you figure which manufacturers or even models are more open source and less proprietary?

richardisaguy, in This week in KDE: Plasma 6 Alpha approaches
@richardisaguy@lemmy.world avatar

Ngl, I kinda deslike the new task indicator

Perroboc,
wispydust, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

Mostly okay. My only annoyance is setting up electron apps to use Wayland.

executivechimp, in Issue with Samsung Odyssey G3 and squashed windows after a period of inactivity
@executivechimp@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Happens whenever my laptop goes to sleep and it’s really annoying. As far as I could tell it’s a KDE bug. The only fix (which didn’t work for me) is apparently to stop it trying to dynamically detect displays.

java,

Thanks anyway, I’ll check it.

TheLordHumungus, in Turnip-TV, a tui iptv client (Bash)

Wow good job! TUI is superior!

christos,
@christos@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks!

giacomo, in Plasma Bigscreen

I’ve got it installed on a Debian 12 box I’m using as an htpc. It’s works pretty nicely.

ikidd, in Just learned about AppImageLauncher
@ikidd@lemmy.world avatar

Never had it work right. 90% of the time it just prompts again or fails to run entirely.
