danielfgom, to linux in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Valve are not going to put malicious code on their app. Neither is VLC or any other FOSS developer.

The distros should stick to packaging their repo apps and leave the Snap/FlatPak tech as an alternative to the original dev if they decide they want to use that.

We can’t have Bob from nowhere packaging Valve, then not updating it or patching it because he doesn’t have time. Or 5 Bob’s all doing the same thing with 5 copies of Valve on the Store.

It’s crazy. This is what causes fragmentation. Flathub should vet every app and if you are not the dev of the app, you may not host it on Flathub. You’re still welcome to make a Flatpak for home use on your own pc but not for wide distribution.

danielfgom, to linux in Which terminal emulator do you use?

Tilix

Backup and do a fresh install

danielfgom, to linux in Edit: Flatpak (possibly regression) issue caused by either xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and/or xdg-desktop-portal-gnome
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Backup and install a fresh Linux Mint.

danielfgom, to linux in Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian)
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Backup your data. Download the correct Debian and burn to usb. Do a fresh install. Make sure to format the disk first.

Unless you’re dual booting in which case only format the Linux partition

danielfgom, to linux in Linux Mint 21.3 has been released
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

No. The regular version is fine and gets updated more often. For people who want their system not updated so often, the Debian edition only gets a new base every 2-3 years

danielfgom, to linux in Linux Mint 21.3 has been released
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

No it’s not just a phase. Mint really is very good which is why it’s very popular and widely regarded as the overall best distro whether beginner or advanced user.

The team really do make it their goal to have a user friendly, capable OS that helps you instead of hinders you.

I use Linux Mint Debian Edition because I’m done with Ubuntu but the Ubuntu based mint is still excellent compared to Ubuntu itself.

danielfgom, to linux in The last few weeks in KDE: It’s coming… it’s coming… it’s coming
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

I’m pretty sure that most people won’t be able to tell the difference between 5 and 6.

Seems like minor changes to me.

I once did enjoy KDE but always hated the font, icons and everything in the UI is lines. Makes it hard to comprehend things quickly.

In the end I realised the Gnome-based UI is far better for legibility and comprehension. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition with Cinnamon and it’s great.

danielfgom, to linux in When Windows 10 dies, I am going to jump ship over to Linux. Which version would you recommend for someone with zero prior experience with Linux? **Edit: Linux Mint it shall be.**
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely Linux Mint. Literally the best out there whether new to Linux or an advanced user.

danielfgom, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

I must try that. Thanks 👍

danielfgom, to linux in Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly friend I don’t give a rats ass about up or down votes. I’m just here to read, learn and converse. Some things I’ll get right, some I’ll get wrong. That’s life.

I could stop using this tomorrow and it would make zero difference to my life, know what I mean? It’s just some site. My real life is something altogether different.

@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

You mean if he has some malicious script that wants to install something or run something it’s not going to adjust ask him “do you want to install x?”

danielfgom, to linux in Is there any way to emulate aegis authenticator (fdroid) on an ubuntu based computer?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

As an IT Technician/Sysadmin I highly recommend you use the one your IT team told you to use. If you run into issues they’ll be able to help but not if your using some obscure app they’ve never heard of.

danielfgom, to linux in Friendly reminder
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely. I use Timeshift on Linux Mint Debian Edition and set it to take weekly snapshots. Saved my bacon about 2 weeks ago when a kernel update borked my system.

danielfgom, to linux in New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Bro, I’m an IT Support Technician and Sysadmin by profession. Trust me when I tell you the average user has never seen the command line.

Move a shortcut on their desktop and they freak out because they think the pc deleted all their work. No way in hell they would touch a terminal.
