PlexSheep,

Had an old laptop which ran horribly slow on windows. Put Ubuntu on it without knowing anything about that stuff. Years later, I got interested in computer science and Cybersecurity, made some experiences with Kali Linux. Eventually switched my desktop to Linux mint iirc. My servers tun Debian

That old laptop? I used it for the first months of Cybersecurity lectures, until I bought a new laptop with my first salary. This weekend I put LMDE 6 on it. Debian is home.

PlexSheep,

I’m currently daily driving LMDE after some time. For OP it probably won’t matter so choosing main line mint might be better.

Linux Mint all the way.

PlexSheep,

What’s the point of a local git server? If you’re after that why not just use a regular Git repo?

PlexSheep,

Git LFS exists, not sure how it works technically, but it’s what the AI people use for AI model VCS.

PlexSheep, (edited )

For me, vim is easier to use than vscode and nano. Our experiences don’t reflect that of the majority.

PlexSheep,

I use all 3, they serve different purposes. GIMP is image Manipulation (it’s in the name), Krista is drawing, and inkscape is designing stuff and svgs.

PlexSheep,

Dont dare to insult the pinnacle of text editing.

PlexSheep,

From what I hear the only thing that doesn’t work is reaction emojis in meetings.

PlexSheep,

Teams and outlook have both pretty good third party flatpaks.

PlexSheep,

Best thing available on windows, still suffers from running on windows, but inside is a pretty usable Linux distro

PlexSheep,

You’re right, I didn’t think of that. Cinnamon sadly is X11 for now.

PlexSheep,

I just switched from fedora 39 plasma to green debian, it’s been very pleasant to have “it just works os” take care of things, including X11 just doing it’s regular old thing.

But if course, Wayland is the future and I will happily use it by the time it becomes stable enough for a debian release. Go Wayland!

PlexSheep,

Yup, lmde

PlexSheep,

The whole point of using Linux is the freedom that we can use what we want. Don’t play down other DEs you might not like, because the variety is what makes our environment amazing.

PlexSheep,

So ist this an http proxy? I don’t quite get it.

PlexSheep,

What I use to automatically extend stuff like ls … to ls …/…/…/…

I Made Screen Brightness Control on Gnome Much Better (gitlab.gnome.org)

Anyone here struggle with trying to adjust brightness on Gnome in low light? At the low end, the steps are way too far apart, and at high brightness they’re almost imperceptible. Every other operating system uses a brightness curve that better matches human perception....

PlexSheep,

Didn’t know I wanted this, unfortunately I use Cinnamon, but this is a great feature!

    PlexSheep,

    Lmde with plasma is great, I just switched last weekend.

    Had a weird issue on cinnamon that maxed out my GPU way too fast (Intel igpu), but it doesn’t happen in other DEs, so I just went back to plasma.

    PlexSheep,

    PlexSheep,

    I’d recommend debian - the universal operating system.

    If your software does not exist for debian, your software does not exist. (Ubuntu is just debian with extra corpo flavour)

    What is the easy way to stream movies/series hosted on file hosting/sharing sites?

    For streaming not-so-easily accessible media that I find only on file hosting sites, which often limit the speed and number of downloads, I unlock links with Alldebrid and stream them in VLC player. This is impossible for members of my family to do, especially on a TV (fire stick). Is there a way I can acquire the links and make...

    PlexSheep,

    Does this do anything else than being a Fileserver? I already have SFTP and smb to choose from.

    PlexSheep,

    I just use the nextcloud client. Does the job and looks fancy while at it. But you obviously need a nextcloud server for that.

    PlexSheep,

    Pipewire is amazing, especially when used to make music with it!

    ADWSteamGTK makes steam look more inline with GTK (flathub.org)

    I was watching InfinitelyGalactic recent video on Linux mint and he highlighted this program. Works really well I’ve always found steam to be a bit unruly within my desktop especially as I run the forge gnome extension, which further exacerbates the weird behaviours. Supports most of the big colour schemes so finding something...

    PlexSheep,

    Apperently it’s just an installer for some steam skin? I didn’t even know skins were a thing. It looks pretty amazing through.

    PlexSheep,

    Downloadthemall let’s you set some filters, namely file size. If you set it high enough, at least thumbnails and other stuff will not be downloaded.
