GravitySpoiled, to linux in Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

come on :D I provided ressources to markdown, not latex. markdown is easier than word.

You can use matrix/element and if someone loses her phone, you can remove her from the room. The room will disappear from the other phone if it’s connected to the internet

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

Musicbrainz has a lot of data. Listenbrainz has only 25k users. What’s currently popular is heavily skewed. You can’t rate music properly. The android app isn’t starting at all. No pwa support. It needs months of your data in order to generate recommendations. Favs/likes/bookmarks aren’t synced with a subsonic server. Playlists aren’t synced with the connected service. It’s just not there yet, if ever. I scrobble. I don’t know why I still do it, maybe in the hopes that one day it’ll skyrocket and become useful. One day. Maybe the financial backer is missing. Most importantly, the userbase is missing. I have contributed so many albums to musicbrainz and I could still contribute hundreds more, if not much more. I do not have the time to contribute so much stuff that I’m don’t even love that much. It’s just not important enough. It’s like openstreetmap, owners do not care about adding their own info to it. As long as it’s like that it’s unimportant and not that useful.

I think it boils down to: “because we can”. “We can automatically build our own setup on github and that’s what we do”

Installing tailscale, zsh, fish, vscode, extension manager, codecs, etc. out of the box isn’t enough for a new distro. Especially because you break the signing of fedora by doing so.

I don’t get it. What’s the spirit of ubuntu? Is the underlying OS based on ubuntu instead of fedora?

What’s the actual difference to fedora silverblue?

Half the answer to “why did you make your own linux?” is that it’s awesome being able to revert back to the original fedora OS.

Because it follows a cloud-native approach, the end user has the flexibility to rebase back to the stock Fedora or any Universal Blue image. It’s more like having someone install, configure, and maintain a polished Fedora setup for you.

And the other half doesn’t provide any info either

Bluefin utilizes Fedora’s OCI features to compose and build an OS image. This process is overseen by a well-structured community that is committed to automation and sustainability. The end result is akin to a configuration management tool like Ansible or Salt, but without the typical challenges associated with maintaining a custom distribution.

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.

Manjaro is not suitable.

I don’t want to spread FUD that snaps aren’t reproducible. I just don’t know that they are and there is no source stating they are or aren’t.

Neither, flatpak not snaps are with reproducible-builds.org/who/projects/ which is bad of both.

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.

You’re good

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 My weird KDE plasma workflow

do you have a numpad? wouldn’t that make more sense? I usually use the numpad to assign the position of a window. meta+7 is in the upper left corner, meta+6 is on the right, etc. but it would work with workspaces as well

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.
