TootSweet, in Screencasting tools with Wayland support

I really hope wlroots screen capture lands in ffmpeg sometime soon. But I haven’t heard any rumblings that that’s even on their radar.

I used to use WindowMaker on seriously underpowered laptops 10-15 years ago. Seems like it’s still just as efficient. For something more standard interface-wise you could try IceWM.

Another thing to do is build your own kernel without any features you don’t use. Not sure how much of a difference that makes exactly.

Bodhi! Another I’ve found to be lean is Zorin Lite

I honestly really like Ubuntu, not sure why, but its very smooth. I kinda want to try using open dyslexic though… I currently use Fira code for monospace though.

See I found that but I still could not figure out the install process. I finally figured that libsixel was the newest one but it still seems unmaintained. I ended up compiling it from source as it was not in the fedora repos. At this point I am more confused about the correct version of sixel to use. Libsixel is the only one I can really find

ipsirc,
@ipsirc@lemmy.ml avatar

Most of the terminals which support sixel doesn’t use libsixel at all, instead they’ve developed their own implementation.

See I have foot and it says it supports sixel but no sixel commands were working until I got libsixel installed

I like the Ubuntu font for the system, but in the terminal and my IDE I use JetBrains Mono.

Guenther_Amanita, (edited ) in How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Install Distrobox first and work inside that container.

Messing with dependencies of a program not in your package manager can result in bricking your OS (which will take some time to fix and that will be annoying).
In DB, all dependencies will be self contained and your host OS will stay clean. You can imagine it similar to how Flatpaks work.

Then, follow the other’s procedures.

Thanks! How does this work with OS permissions? As it’s rescuezilla and veracrypt I’m trying to use, both need access to the system partitions in order to be able to mount/read/copy to them. Flatpak can be a bit limited regarding permissions…Moreso on a live iso I guess.

Guenther_Amanita, (edited )

DB only gives you the dependencies, but is otherwise not sheltered. It still has access to all host OS files, including hard drives and other stuff.

Sadly, I’m not super experienced with it, and I use it on an immutable distro, where can’t change that much, at least nothing on the root level.

You would have to read the documentation or google it yourself sadly, I’m out of luck here for you.

I still hope my suggestion was successful :)

vojel, in Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

I got different colors for Kubernetes clusters. Like green for testing cluster, yellow for development and red for production. Always taking a Quick Look before I do something

Kobaltauge,

This sounds awesome. Do you change the color based on the selected cluster? Do you set an environment variable?

Yes this works with powerlevel10k theme for oh my zsh.

I dont like how gnome doesn’t make buttons look like buttons. It’s just text that you hope is clickable.

Use PS1=“▌t▐nw→” to display your local time each time you press enter. And make aliases of lengthy commands such as alias internettest=“curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py | python -” (You need to install python to run this.)

lemmyvore, in X11 forwarding (X server) for Android

scrcpy

phx,

The play store entry for that looks even more sketchy

Mixel,

Source code is available at GitHub but it require you to have your phone by yourside e.g. connected via usb or in the same network so you can connect via IP

averyminya,

SCRCPY is phenomenal.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

I use it daily at work and it’s fine. It does everything you’re looking for in the way you’re looking for it.

Android natively supports video out for screen recording on your local machine. This just ingests the stream and plays it live instead of saving it.

RegalPotoo, in Why aren't linux hardware shops on Ubuntu's certified hardware list?
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

Because the list is “certified” not “works with” - essentially, the “certified” list is for hardware that not only works, but that Canonical will guarantee works and will make software changes to fix if it breaks

onlinepersona,

Sure, but why aren’t those vendors certified? Is it a lack of action on the vendor’s part? Is it a monetary problem where Canonical is demanding too much money and thus gatekeeping smaller vendors with smaller pockets from being certified? what is it?

MrAlternateTape,

I suspect most vendors just dgaf about being linux certified. They just build their hardware to work with Windows since that is what most people will use. If the hardware happens to work with Linux too, great. But it’s much more important to make sure it works with a system that over 90% of your users use.

If you build laptops that you deliver with a Linux system on it, then yes, you will make sure it is Linux certified and it works properly.

It’s not difficult to imagine that for most laptops that are made, Linux wasn’t even considered for a second.

ProtonBadger, (edited ) in Custom shell prompt tips and tricks?

Most prompt customizers have an option for showing how long last command ran and whether it succeeded/failed or simply prompt timestamp, it's often default. I use Tide, there's also Starship and a number of others. You can also roll your own ofcourse.

Matombo, in Why aren't linux hardware shops on Ubuntu's certified hardware list?

It’s expensive af and only worth it if you have dell/hp/asus/fujitsu like volumes. The Linux first venders are sadly not there yet.

onlinepersona,

Oh, OK. That makes sense. What a pity.
