rando, in Plasma Bigscreen

Are u trying to install on x86 or ARM? ARM has images u can use. As for x86 I didn’t find distro with out of the box bigscreen configured, however there are AUR recipes - makes it easy to use it on Manjaro.

what is a package manager

alt,

I feel a bit lazy at the moment, but Brodie does IMO an excellent job at explaining what a package manager is within the context of Linux. I’d recommend you to watch that instead over here; it’s already set to play at the correct time*.

stella,

Utilities that manage packages on your system.

Graphical ones include Pamac and Synaptic.

The command-line ones are more known: apt (debian), pacman (arch), rpm (fedora), and yum (suse)

possiblylinux127, in My few remaining gripes with linux

I don’t think you can adjust scroll speed on Gnome without Gconfig

hottari, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

Great. I like being able to deny apps permission to my home folder with a simple flick via Flatseal. Only issue I have with it is the slow update times, flathub seriously need to get more mirrors.

iHUNTcriminals, in Plasma Bigscreen

I’m going to find out if I can install it on MX debian with KDE when I get home.

digitalturtle, in What distro for a MacBook pro late 2013 15'

Mint, Ubuntu have all pretty much worked out of the box for me

Moobythegoldensock, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

They work great on linux tablets such as PineTab2 and rooted Samsung Galaxy tablets running PMOS. Often, games work better via Flatpak than from the distro’s package manager.

Ok

Dwalin, in What distro for a MacBook pro late 2013 15'

~~I have a 2013 MacBook running Ubuntu. I would recommend Kubuntu because idk which wifi chip your MacBook has but it probably won’t play nice with Linux (which is apple drivers fault). And there is a great guide on how to fix it for Ubuntu

GUIDE~~

digitalturtle,

Actually Broadcoms fault not Apple. Pretty much every Ubuntu flavor I have used has the driver on the ISO and installs without issue.

Dwalin,

True, it’s Broadcom’s fault. From which ISO? I only have one Mac so I’ve only been able to install there. It worked out of the box but it always randomly froze after two hours of use until I found it was the Broadcom Wifi

tvcvt, in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

My experience has been mostly positive. I hit a situation a couple times where a particular app hanging will prevent other flatpaks from launching. That took a while to figure out, but otherwise it’s pretty good. In general things work the way they’re supposed to.

baseless_discourse, (edited ) in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

All the problem I haven encountered with flatpak is short-term (GPU passthrough, wayland support etc), and all of them either dont work or require a one time fix.

Basically if I dont encounter problem on the frist day, I have never encounteted any problem after that, unless a update introduced some bug in the software, of course.

You can also use AppImages. The appman and am script is handy way download and update apps. Have a look at the following website for details:

portable-linux-apps.github.io

It has up-to-date brave.

alt,

You can also use AppImages.

I’m not necessarily opposed to it, as I do use them if they’re inaccessible to me otherwise and if it’s official and up-to-date. But for security-sensitive apps (like a browser) I would rather not rely on it. Furthermore, it seems it’s unofficial anyways.

portable-linux-apps.github.io

This is a cool resource. Thank you!

ultra, in GNOME is (Gradually!) Dropping X11

That channel seems really cool

theshatterstone54,

Yup. Nicco is a Plasma contributor, and probably on the KDE team (correct me if I’m wrong)

merthyr1831, in NVIDIA 545.29.02 Linux Graphics Driver Is Out with Wayland Improvements, More

Good that nVidia is being forced to improve wayland support. Bad that it appears that nVidia’s code appear to be as spaghetti and broken as X11’s

257m, in I'm ditching htop for btop, look how cool it is

The nord theme on btop is blissful. It looks so good.
