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

Yes but if you use an Arch distro like Endeavour, they won’t support you with issues caused by AUR apps. Because of these reasons I mentioned.

Tilix

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

It should be ok because nothing will run on your system without a permission prompt at least. So they that should ring some bells of system is asking for your password when you didn’t try to install anything.

But best practice would be log in as a regular user and use sudo to do any admin tasks.

danielfgom, to linux in Is Ubuntu deserving the hate?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

If it works for you then use it, however if you want the latest packages you’ll have to NOT use the LTS releases in which case be prepared to do a FULL REINSTALL every time a new version comes out.

Or use the LTS but use Snaps for those applications that you want to have the latest versions of. Snaps are getting better and I think eventually you won’t notice the difference between them and native apps, except for the space they just up. But that goes for Flatpak too.

Personally I use Linux Mint Debian Edition because I’m not happy with the way Canonical is going. In most cases the “old” apps are fine for me, but if I felt need the newest version I’ll use a Flatpak.

Another rolling option is OpenSuse Tumbleweed however, being a Mac which uses proprietary WiFi drivers, your WiFi will break with kernel updates, which can be irritating, unless you have ethernet.

Too fat and unnecessary. Just use the regular bash shell that comes with your distro.

danielfgom, to linux in I finally switched back to Linux as my daily driver after a couple of years of being on nothing but Windows.
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

You should take some time to look at fsf.org and gnu.org and read up is what Free Software is. It is literally the most important set of principles in the history of computing.

Without these principles, your Linux system would not exist.

It’s well worth your time.

Linux Mint Debian Edition is what I’m using on my Mac Mini. Before that it was the Ubuntu Linux Mint.

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro they was running opensuse Leap but it won’t boot or charge now. I need to take it to an Apple repair shop for troubleshooting.

If I were looking for a new laptop I’d look at some of the recent ThinkPad’s like the X1. Or I’d like for a good deal on a new AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 equipped laptop .

But if you’re just going to watch YouTube, you could easily get a Celeron based 13 inch laptop from the past 2 years and is should work fine for that.

danielfgom, to linux in Linux holds more than 8% market share in India, and it's on the upward trend
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Because it’s free. That’s the beauty of FOSS software. But only is it user freedom respecting but also often free of charge.

In third world countries like India where only a small percentage can afford a Windows licence, Linux can thrive. And once people see it can do anything that Windows can, and far better with no security concerns, plus they can modify and build upon Linux, they tend to adopt it with passion.

If you’re starting a business in India and have little money but need an OS to run your business, Linux can do that for you for free.

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 I feel like breaking my windows install was a rite of passage
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Excellent. Being able to install a fresh OS at will is one of the many fun things in Linux. Theming is another. I would advise you do a backup of anything important on Windows and just erase the entire disk and do a clean install of Linux. If you still need Windows, install Virtualbox and install Windows as a VM. Best of both worlds. I do this to enable me to print to my Canon printer because the Linux drivers don’t work ,it needs Windows to print, calibrate etc.

Who knows? Have you tried OnlyOffice?

😂😂 Well said bro!

Your nailed it. They are experts at removing features. Hmmm, that reminds me of someone…🍏

danielfgom, to linux in Overheating laptop, should I try a lighweight distro - which one?
@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

The issue isn’t with Linux directly so any distro you use will do the same.

It could be a hardware issue that the machine is not dissipating heat.

Or it could be that you need some kind of driver/controller software for fan. It sounds like the system isn’t properly controlling the fan. It leaves it low when it doesn’t defect usage but when it does, instead of increasing the fan a little bit at a time, it just goes full tilt to be safe. It probably cannot read the temperature sensors and so has no idea whether your need cooling or not.

I don’t know the answer but do some googling around system temperature reading on that model and see if there is a module you need to install.

danielfgom, to linux in I'm trying to run VirtualBox in Linux Mint but I keep getting an error message about Kernel drivers.

Have you tried to download it on the host to a USB (formatted with fat32) and then in Boxes select that usb in Windows to copy and run the software?
