joojmachine, in Who uses pure GNOME (no extensions)

The only extensions I use are for things that will likely get added as native in the future: Light Style for the light shell theme and Caffeine (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/…/2507)

d3Xt3r, in Help troubleshooting issues with Sony WH1000MX5 playback

No such issues here with my XM5, been using mine for over an year. Are your devices on at least Bluetooth v5.2? All of mine are either 5.2 or 5.3 and I’ve not experienced any issues. I use my headphones with Android, Linux, Windows 10 and macOS. Even multipoint works fine.

As for the head comfort, you could get a headband cover/cushion, such as the ones made by Geekria.

chrismit3s,

+1, no problems at all so far, been using them almost daily for a year now on both linux and android.

I’m loving these suggestions, definitely saving the post for later!

lobut, in Focalboard: a free alternative to Trello

Awesome I can’t wait to try it!

corsicanguppy, in If only more Linux programs followed sandboxing best practices...

Still not worth dependency hell.

OsrsNeedsF2P,

Relevance?

TheGrandNagus,

Flatpak reduces dependency hell… and proper sandboxing has nothing to do with dependency hell.

soulfirethewolf, in Firefox Development Is Moving From Mercurial To Git

Dang, I was really hoping that they would stop using bugzilla and switch to something like GitHub/GitLab/Gitea issues instead. Perhaps also put things like feature requests there as well and have one place to contribute to Firefox

muhyb, in CLI monitoring with GPU overview

I don’t know if there is a unified tool for that but I use btop and nvtop side by side. I don’t really care but if there is one, I’d like to know as well.

governorkeagan, (edited )

I’ve been using nvtop as well

Vorthas, in Your chosen desktop Linux defaults?
@Vorthas@lemmy.ml avatar

EndeavourOS as the distro of choice for easy installation and AUR access.

Depending on the DE, if it’s not MATE, I almost always install Caja, Engrampa, and MATE Calculator since they just have the most sane look and UX to them for my use cases.

  • Waterfox as my browser of choice (reason over Firefox is that it offers tabs below address bar as an option in Preferences rather than mucking about in userChrome.css files that often break on updates)
  • Vivaldi as a secondary browser for websites that only render right in Chromium
  • Kitty as my terminal of choice.
  • Clementine as my music player of choice
  • yt-dlp for downloading Youtube videos as mp3s
  • htop over top, also have gotop for a more graphical look
  • exa over ls
wolf,

Interesting browser choices. ;-) I like what I see from Vivaldi, but I rarely need Chrome compatibility and Chromium is in the repositories of all distributions I use, so I never opt for Vivaldi. Just a personal preference or any good reason to use Vivaldi over Chromium etc.?

Vorthas,
@Vorthas@lemmy.ml avatar

Honestly because it’s quite customizable, that’s about it. Being able to customize my software to look and work the way I want them to is a big reason why I use certain programs over others.

I used GNOME with no extensions for about 5 years. Recently I started using a window tiling extension but that’s only for for convenience, I wouldn’t say it’s fixing anything that is broken.

i onky use minor stuff, like a tray and rounded corners on legacy applications.

hlqxz, in Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend

Does it mean Android? Because India mostly uses Android.

TheAnonymouseJoker,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Android is not a desktop OS.

hlqxz,

Yes, I didn’t read “Desktop OS”. Sorry about that.

adam,
@adam@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

These stats are desktop only

jol,

Android is not reported as Linux.

snekerpimp, in Filesystem mirroring: best backup tool?

I currently use restic, but borg backup or just rsync would do well for what you need.

KISSmyOS, in My ubuntu installation broke completely

So I grabbed my ventoy-drive, downloaded latest mint ISO on it and instead of doing something productive I planned to do I’ll spend couple of hours at reinstalling the whole system.

With Mint, you should be able to get to a working system that lets you do your paperwork within less than half an hour.
You can set up all your customizations again when you have more time. But it should also be no issue to just copy your old /home folder to the new system between Mint and Ubuntu. Then the only step after installation would be to install the programs you had before.

IsoKiero,

Yes, I know. Existing drive layout however says that I need to repartition the whole thing and that says that I need to copy couple of hundred GB’s over to something else before reinstallation and so on, so it’s not a half hour job. And while I’m at it it’s better to do it right than half-ass it over a long, long period of time.
