GravitySpoiled,

Are you asking for a gnome extension like g Forge github.com/forge-ext/forge or github.com/paperwm/PaperWM ?

GravitySpoiled, (edited )

I love it!

I am still using PaperWM but I’d def rebase to it as soon as someone created an ublue image for it

I don’t want to miss scrollable wms

GravitySpoiled,

Thx for the post. Nice reading your experience.

GravitySpoiled,

I don’t know what you coul have against mozilla ai?

GravitySpoiled,

then sell apple

GravitySpoiled,

All apps must be “notarized” by Apple

Is that legal?

GravitySpoiled, (edited )

Sounds like distrobox/ toolbx would be the easiest here. There’s an ubuntu 18.04 image here github.com/toolbx-images/images it’s like a vm without all the overhead

GravitySpoiled,

Very interesting question since mastodon introduced groups very recently which are a direct competitor to lemmy

GravitySpoiled,

Thx! Goodluck and enjoy the path

GravitySpoiled,

Thy for the heads up.

Sad to see it go

GravitySpoiled,

Why are they high priority then? 😅

GravitySpoiled,

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,

There are flatpaks and firefox decides to publish debs.

The Unity Desktop Environment an Underrated Masterpiece (unityd.org)

Why is the unity is underrated when its what i use right now with Ubuntu Unity and its actually really great experience for my 2021 HP Stream 11 Laptop and i hope you all to share your experiences using the unity de in Debain Ubuntu Arch Fedora Gentoo Opensuse Etc thanks for your Amazing community my Wonderful Friends

GravitySpoiled,

Ai doesn’t make those errord

Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

Are there good Microsoft word alternatives that support Linux (I don’t mind closed source)? Libreoffice is meh and only office is quite good, but are there any better ones? Also, is there a way to install word on Linux using wine? When I do that my laptop just overheats and loses internet connection.

GravitySpoiled,

What’s your goal? Markdown / latex may work better for your use case than word. typora.io obsidian.md logseq.com github.com/marktext/marktext

Does this exist?? Messaging platform with a panic button from any member.

Basically I am looking for a messaging platform like signal or? but with anonymous signup, perfect forward secrecy, capable of video chat, sending photos the usual uses in today’s life. But with a panic button. So that any party member could use said button to wipe all other members devices of any data instantly inside the...

GravitySpoiled,

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

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.

GravitySpoiled, (edited )

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.

GravitySpoiled,

Manjaro is not suitable.

GravitySpoiled,

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.

GravitySpoiled,

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,

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.

GravitySpoiled,

Plasma 6 is approaching fast

GravitySpoiled,

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,

*In case the EU manages to force all providers to backdoor the services

I don’t think that’ll happen anyway. But you are right, the server doesn’t matter too much in the csse of e2e. The client is more important.
