Thy for the heads up.

Sad to see it go

A lot of people only play games on their computer, hence running linux doesn’t make sense if they can’t play games on it

GravitySpoiled, (edited ) to piracy in Something like Trakt, but for music?

you scrobble with your subsonic server or client or spotify to listenbrainz.org which belongs to musicbrainz.org which is the database for music like tmdb or tvdb.

edit: no, listenbrainz is not yet as mature as trakt. considering that listenbrainz is like tmdb, there needs to be another service for music like trakt which isn’t there, there is no working service that does that.

Great write up, thanks!

You can use the bangs !arch or !aw to search the arch wiki, e.g. !aw kde.

I don’t think dash to dock is a must have extensiom. The workflow of GNOME is different to other opersting systems. That’s why GNOME boots into overview and not the desktop. The overview is there to launch an app or switch to it graphically. When you boot the system the first thing would be to go into overview to launch an app, hence it boots directly into overview. Removing dash from overview defeats the purpose of it.

But “hot bottom” is important otherwise you have to move the mouse into the upper left corner in order to move the mouse to the bottom to launch an app which is nuts.

I don’t like the philosophy of “if they do it, it’s safe”. But I couldn’t explain it in one sentence either. Not only debian but all big distros have systemd. Not having systemd is such a nieche that you shouldn’t bother with it as a beginner.

Snaps. You don’t provide info why snaps are bad. The snap store is centralized and canonical controls every part of it. Moreover, I’ve never read that snaps are reproducible. Flatpaks are technically reproducible. And we all want and need reproducible builds because then we don’t have to trust but know that it’s the original and published source code.

that is incredible, 5% of all swedish households are using illegal iptv. really, that number makes me doubt the whole study - but I don’t live in sweden, maybe that’s how it is.

GravitySpoiled, to linux in How to work with selinux and podman?

Thx for your answer, I found the workflow for podman. With a new distro came the change to selinux and podman which is why I had no experience with docker and selinux either. Now, it works as expected. Thx!

Doesn’t podman solve that issue?

I have no deper knowledge of it, sorry

GravitySpoiled, to linux in My weird KDE plasma workflow

I really like that you found a way to utilize the virtual desktop grid. I really love the idea and I can’t wait for plasma 6 to improve upon it but right now I haven’t used it much.

you wrote that it’s hard to reach meta+9 (win+9) but if you have a numpad and use both hands it doesn’t really matter which number you want to reach. It’s always the same distance away. file browser is always at meta+1, browser is at meta+2, etc. I can’t move up and down like you can but I don’t have to. Even if I hadn’t have a numpad, I’d still have two hands and meta+9 wouldn’t be too far away.

In short, I guess I want to say that I have found my way and I really appreciate your write up about your way but to me it sounds too complicated. Moreover, the task manager (kde, not windows. different things) is just a mouse move away and I can reach any app I want to. Moreover, Plasma Drawer is reachable within a meta click and has all apps. It’s not yet as good as GNOME’s but it’s getting there.

I highly doubt that it’ll ever happen, but if, I’ll just host my own matrix server and I’m good to go.

GravitySpoiled, to linux in how can I customise my Ubuntu theme without breaking anything??

I’ve been using gnome for the past year on my laptop and on my desktop I’ve been using kde. I haven’t used my desktop in a few months and I missed kde. I moved from silverblue to fedora kinoite on my laptop and I don’t think that it’s been two weeks but today I went back to gnome because the overview is much more polished than kde’s. It just works. Gnome always breaks extensions when they update a major version but I’ve seen so many “extensions” on kde now which are all not updated anymore and break stuff that I might actually think that gnome’s way is kind of good. Maybe it was just the fedora version which lead to so many bugs but the experience I had in the past week wasn’t so good.
