flashgnash,

Hallmark red and hallmark blue. There are certain characters you can only get through trading with someone who watched the other film

flashgnash,

Who is they? There are many tools to run VMs on Linux not maintained by rhel

flashgnash,

There is an ISO somewhere, I always struggle to find it

After that you can just download from within the VM, mount from within windows and run the installer exe

flashgnash,

Having tried NTFS, ext4 and btrfs, the difference is not noticeable (though NTFS is buggy on Linux)

Btrfs I believe has compression built in so is good for large libraries but realistically ext4 is the easiest and simplest way to do so I just use that nowadays

flashgnash,

I have to disagree with this, with home-manager you can pretty much put just put your normal config files inside your NixOS config and map them into wherever they’re meant to go, except now they’re managed by nix

The built in config options are really nice but you don’t have to use them in the slightest as long as the package itsself is in nixpkgs

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

flashgnash,

Gnome and KDE are both great for different reasons. One of the things that’s great about Linux as a whole is it gives people the ability to choose the stack they like most

flashgnash, (edited )

I don’t think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy

flashgnash,

Did you know teams personal exists and they’ve added features to it for gaming? Why anyone would voluntarily use teams I will never understand

flashgnash,

Edge I haven’t tried yet. Have been trying to use degoogled chromium where I can but that’s a battle I might have to give up on in this case

flashgnash,

Might give it another go then, the problem for me is not that it doesn’t work, but that it doesn’t work reliably though

Have been using it as a PWA and half the time it forgets I gave it mic permissions or resets my audio settings/doesn’t even recognise my mic in the first place

flashgnash,

I guess so, have never heard of anyone actually using it but it’s built into windows so someone probably will at some point

flashgnash,

From what I gather teams-for-linux still uses the web version doesn’t it? Would that not be subject to all the same problems?

flashgnash, (edited )

Glad to know teams isn’t just the bane of my existence on linux

flashgnash,

It’s also Nvidia and will bring pain and suffering trying to game on linux

flashgnash,

Unfortunately for my free time I really enjoy the endless customisation loop

Also tiling WM with virtual desktops makes one monitor feel like many, I often actively choose to use my hyprland laptop and trackpad instead of a triple monitor setup without tiling

flashgnash,

Is there a way to make reader view automatic on sites where it makes sense? Quite often use it when I get the “uwu pwease disable adbwock” message on a sketchy site but would be nice to just always have it on those kind of sites

flashgnash,

Unfortunately this doesn’t really work for me, the ideal use case is either have reader mode automatically enable where firefox thinks it should be able to (which is not always that accurate anyway)

Alternatively I might look into making an extension that just has a whitelist of all the sites/domains to use it on that everyone can contribute to

You try going fast

And end up going slowly

Bikes might be faster

flashgnash,

Photoshop has no good alternative on Linux though that’s a very real reason to need windows

Personally I’m too cheap for a Photoshop license anyway so doesn’t bother me but some people need it

flashgnash,

Oh really? When I used it on windows I couldn’t move for features and this was years ago. Crazy to think it’s got even more on mac

Spending a few days with Hyprland made me realize how awesome Gnome is

Don’t get me wrong. Hyprland is great. I like it a lot. It looks fresh, it’s easy to configure and the keybindings are super easy to implement, but it’s also very barebones. Most of the functionality expected from a DE come from external software. Be it a top bar, an app launcher, a notification daemon or anything else....

flashgnash, (edited )

I found the opposite actually. I tried others’ configs but nothing clicked and I didn’t learn about the bits I didn’t really care about

Starting from scratch, got the bare minimum to use it (launcher, three finger swipe, terminal bind) and then just attempted to daily drive it fixing bits as I go

Also always had the option to bail back to gnome on reboot if I needed to do something urgently that didn’t work

flashgnash, (edited )

But it’s really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won’t back down

Laptop not working after installing nimdow

I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell,...

flashgnash,

Just be ready to have to lean on the community a lot to begin with

CLI Editors with Distrobox?

How do you all handle this? I’m going to start poking around with NixOS but anticipate Python dev to be impossible on the base OS, so curious what sorts of options y’all use when connecting your configured editor to a container- e.g. if I have Neovim configured in my host, is it better to re-set-up Neovim again with the same...

flashgnash,

Python is easy on NixOS, you just need to use python venvs and you can use pip like normal

(python -m venv .venv) to create the venv (only need to do once per project)

.venv/bin/activate to enable the venv (Vscode should do this automatically if you create the venv through the python extension)

Then just pip install to your heart’s content

(Probably a good idea to pip freeze > requirements.txt every time you install a new library too to make it reproducible

Also you should probably add the venv directory to gitignore if you’re using git as it’ll add a lot of crap to source control that can be easily regenerated from the requirements.txt

I’ve definitely had it wake me up the first time I drank it, was grumpy and tired late in the evening, had a shot of espresso and was bouncing off the walls
