beta_tester,

Tldr.

Bt over tor is still not recommended

beta_tester,

The only thing that keeps my laptop on GNOME is the damn beautiful overview. It’s also the only reason I show it to interested people instead of KDE.

beta_tester,

Try to autoconnect to a vpn in GNOME, you can’t do it in the settings. I love KDE, I just wish it was a bit more beautiful sometimes.

beta_tester,

Some apps are only available as appimages.

Neverthrless you should ask the maintainer and work towards flatpaks.

My few remaining gripes with linux

It’s mostly libinput. Why the hell can’t I easily change scroll speed on Gnome and not on KDE? Why does gnome have a simple tool (gnome tweaks) to change the trackpad cooldown to change the time trackpad doesn’t work as a substitute for good palm rejection and KDE doesn’t? Why is it a bit of a pain in both to change...

beta_tester,

GNOME settings are widespread. It’s bad right now. Anything that improves that is good

beta_tester,

Even if Mint (Cinnamon) doesn’t look as good as GNOME, you can always install another desktop environment.

I’d recommend fedora silverblue. You’ll install all graphical packages via a Software store and you won’t brick your system. Even if, you may just recover an old state. I installed media codecs via the software store, not command line.

Fedora is very beginner friendly too

  • I don’t get the Q
  • maybe jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/… ? I stopped trying to manage a library with mixed languages. German torrents always (most of the time) have the english audio as well. For english only, there’s a dedicated folder
  • audiobooks in english? abtorrents

They are fun and all but it’s free advertisement for them … They are fun and all but it’s free advertisement for them …

beta_tester,

Just use the killswitch feature of the OS

Maybe use a work profile

beta_tester,

Go into settings and look for “always-on vpn” in the settings for the vpn and then “block connections without vpn”

beta_tester,

Record with two devices, compare and strip everything away that they do not have in common

beta_tester,

Ever since I disabled every recommendation in libretube I don’t watch anything on youtube anymore because I have no fucking clue that it even exists.
