WindowsEnjoyer,

Why don’t he use some platform like Github/Gitlab and alike? The method to send patches via email is just stupid, isn’t it?

WindowsEnjoyer,

The author of this email is also the creator of git.

I am aware of that. GitHub and alike systems are not just git servers.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Not accurate at all. As bare minimum, Ubuntu should be dildo as it only gives you a great experience without assembling any sex toys lol.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Solid example!

WindowsEnjoyer,

In Lithuania it’s legal, but they cannot say any words like “let’s play” or “best casinos” etc. I don’t know specific, but most of casino/betting ads are like these (always with the weird/annoying voice)

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

NAME, casino!

WindowsEnjoyer,

Don’t forget annoying/screaming voice. And repeat each several times. 😅

WindowsEnjoyer,

How is XFCE nowadays? I am on KDE for the past ~3 years and been long-term XFCE user.

IMO biggest KDE advantage over XFCE is that everything literally works out of the box - audio, bluetooth, shortcuts (i hate setting up script yo turn on/off mousepad.

I am using X instead of Wayland anyway.

Anything changed in XFCE over several years?

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

WindowsEnjoyer,

Kind reminder that majority of users use “Google” as their browser. :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

I think your best bet is Framework laptops. If not, ThinkPads have superior Linux support.

Otherwise, pick your favorite model and read online. Also see if you can find your preferred model on Arch Wiki (laptop page).

Myself some time ago I’ve purchased Asus laptop. Spent quite some time (hobby) to get everything working (e.g. fan control) and documented everything in Arch Wiki.

Then I’ve got Asus Zenbook. Also had to participate in kernel bug report and test, because there were no audio. Eventually it got fixed in upstream and started to work.

Then I’ve got MSI gaming laptop. Had to participate in Intel DRM code issue, because 2K 240Hz panel was limited to 2K60Hz mode and eventually it got fixed too in upstream. Few workarounds are there and there, but eventually got it to work almost 100%, but audio is a bit…broken. Works fine, just first few secs after silence are silent.

Basically what I am trying to tell - manufacturers might introduce software-controlled hardware features that might work only in Windows. It requires experience and extensive knowledge to make everything manageable on Linux. :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

Disclaimer - it might require lots of tinkering depending on what the goal.

For example, install JRE from Flatpaks. It will “succeed”, but due to some partition mounted in read-only mode, no binaries would be installed. 🙆

Help me choose my mobile browser

As per title, Help me choose a browser for android I have non rooted device. After all the researches I found best for me would be 1: Mull but with Some way for knowing which site have saved any data on my device (Maybe by extension or some defined page like about:config type) But as per my research I do not found any such...

WindowsEnjoyer,

cant give individual websites permissions like js cookie etc.

Don’t you think there is a reason why none of browsers provide this feature? Do you seriously want to open a website and be greeted with 30 pop ups asking “do you want to allow javascript on api.example.com website?”. Then instantly “do you want to allow loading static images/media on api.example.com website?”. Point is - it’s not how web works.

WHICH SITE IS SAVING WHAT DATA ON MY DEVICE

Imagine in your perfect world you get a pop up saying “Firefox has detected that example.com has saved 2 cookies on your device and they consume 43 bytes of your storage space. Do you want to delete them?”. Again, even if it saves cached data (static images) - why would you care? Firefox has addons that can help you to get rid of tracking cookies.

Please learn on how internet works. There is no such thing as “website”, especially in your context. Technically, your requested features could be possible to implement, but that would break like 100℅ of websites. And what you are probably looking for is something like Postman, but for Android. 🙆

New to Linux, have a few questions

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...

WindowsEnjoyer,

Focus learning on how to install Arch Linux and use it without breaking. This not just gives you a rock-stable distro, but also the required knowledge on to maintain Linux OS.

Or go with “Ubuntu” level of easiness. You choose. :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

Or maybe someone could leak a dev build without drm…

Wanting to improve my Linux skills after 17 months of daily driving Linux

I’ve been daily driving Linux for 17 months now (currently on Linux Mint). I have got very comfortable with basic commands and many just works distros (such as Linux Mint, or Pop!_OS) with apt as the package manager. I’ve tried Debian as a distro to try to challenge myself, but have always ran into issues. On my PC, I could...

WindowsEnjoyer,

I’ve been considering installing Arch the traditional way, on my X220, as a way to force myself to improve. Is this a good way to learn more about Linux and a Linux system in general?

Oh yes, that’s exactly how I learnt. Also I have 1000+ edits in Arch Wiki, but stopped contributing to it (as well as AUR) few years ago.

WindowsEnjoyer,

Arch Wiki is invaluable at this point.

And I don’t mean just Arch Linux (BtwOS), I mean countless amount of sysadmins, platforms engineers, developers, SREs and so on that uses it.

WindowsEnjoyer,

In Lemmy people are not aware that GitHub is not just git server with lots of code. :)

WindowsEnjoyer,

I know, my use case, is very unique and niche

It’s not. It’s as simple as “download and watch”, but thanks to DRM you can’t simply do it. Then pirating is the only way for you.
