dino,

I love linux, but you can’t expect people to adopt it just because it’s objectively better than windows.

Excel o,O

dino,

Also the hotkeys are terrible, I really really want to use it properly, but those shortcuts are horrid.

dino,

looks interesting

dino,

There is no great/simple linux music player with proper cover display. Eliza was so wonky when I tried it months ago, the most simple functions didn’t work properly (like sorting for release year etc.)

dino,

Okay, thanks for clarification. really didn’t get it. :D

dino,

I don’t understand this topic. What are you trying to say?

dino,

Using alacritty for years on all linux devices, it does what its supposed to do. Recent change to toml configuration was a bit of hassle. But with the latest release the migration is no problem anymore.

dino,

You didn’t mention a single argument for why you would need a reproducible system. It sounds more like the buzz around immutable systems makes you think you are losing out on something, which is not the truth.

dino,

Increase your scaling/decrease resolution.

dino,

What? Strg + Mousewheel, you can even set the option to only zoom text. At least on firefox. No clue what kind of browser you are using which is not capable of that.

Switching to Debian on my gaming pc

Hello everyone - I have been wanting to ditch windows on my gaming pc for a while now, and since I have recently finished a large project, I now have the free time to switch. I am relatively comfortable with Debian having used it for a while on my web server as well as school laptop, but I am concerned about using it on my...

dino,

You need an up to date systems to utilize newest packages of drivers (etc.) to make full use of recent hardware and to be able to play new games.

dino,

Sadly there is no way around it. The mentioned alternatives like regolith have already been mentioned. There is also some smaller distros with prepared twm configs, but I can’t recommend it. Because if you want to customize it, you will have a hard time finding the right ways to do it.

OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion

Thinking of trying to morph my Leap workstation into Tumbleweed (and potentially Slowroll once that project matures enough). I’ve seen that you can do it . I reckon I can rollback relatively easily via the BTRFS snapshots if it goes sideways, but just curious to see what others’ experience with doing so has been.

dino,

Misinformation 101?

dino,

Tumbleweed for over 10 years, if you know how to roll back with snapper there is nothing to lose.

dino,

Is the performance drawback from streaming in this encoding less noticeable?

Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review (dataswamp.org)

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated in any way to any of the parties involved in this review. I just enjoy reading Solène’s writings in general and found myself to be especially in fond of this specific article. I share this in the hopes that others might somehow benefit from this as well!...

dino,

Your experience with FreeBSD compared to OpenBSD is very similar to mine 5 years ago. Didn’t manage to get FreeBSD working but OpenBSD install was pretty easy. Although the performance still sucked compared to Linux.

In-progress COSMIC apps: terminal, file manager, text editor, and settings (fosstodon.org)

COSMIC is a Wayland desktop environment for Linux that is written in Rust with Smithay and Iced. COSMIC applications are developed with the libcosmic platform toolkit, which is based on iced. They are cross-platform and supported on Windows, Mac, and Redox OS in addition to Linux....

dino,

I really tried to find something, but didn’t. shrug Maybe I am not a target user.

dino,

Can somebody explain to me, why we need another terminal, file manager, text editor and such? Just to call them all “cosmic apps”? Also who the fuck is going to use any of this on windows or even macOS?? Why waste manpower on this cross-platform compatibility?

dino,

Never use flatpaks for stuff available in your packet manager…

dino,

Maybe windows rules will now work properly instead of being buggy and delete themselves…fingers crossed Imho KDE is too big, there are so many cogwheels they miss the opportunity to actually polish each and every aspect.

e.g. why does KDE need a specific videoplayer?

dino,

You probably never used fish shell.
