Hi, I’ve got an old netbook from Samsung that has an old Intel Atom CPU (Intel Atom N455 1.66 GHz). I installed Arch on it and am now thinking of a suitable window manager. I tried Hyprland (kinda expecting it to not work really) whick didn’t start at all. Before I had Debian with Gnome, which technically worked, but...
My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?
The point of useing it is that privacy invasive sites like twitch or skribbl.io would still work. Twitch technicality works fine on stock Firefox unless you don’t save your history, how dare you.
I will try it out after work. Do you know a way to provent automatic openings instead of librewolf? I’m currently using Hyprland and was using the appimage so it doesn’t have any conflicts.
Exactly default browser. Yes I tryed native and flatpak packages but it would constantly open all other browser instead of librewolf. Even if I defined a other one in the mineapps file
So one vor two days later anx I can say now that I switch from thorium to ungoogled chromium Wayland. Didn’t have issues with defaults and yea its pretty much the same
Yea I can do that. I mean it will take a time but it should be possible. Tbh just don’t wanna use brave. www.deviceinfo.me is a hood site for checking how hard you browser i s hardened
They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....
Hey guys I’m currently working on a presentation about accessibility and I noticed that Linux seams not to have any systemwide subtitle support like windows 11 and MacOs(beta feature). Does anyone of you know a project that can do that or is there simply no solution for this problem.
Yes it work with English content very well. You can rerout all your audio to it via helvum. The big problem is that it only has 3 languages supported English, French and Polish. So it technicality works but not in German unfortunately. But I can say now it partly works on Linux.
To be honest it is reliable on my system and the best thing is that I don’t have to think about updates, out of date dependence, package versions or packages in general. Just paru package done. As long as you are fine with setting some stuff up manually Arch is pretty amazing.

Libretube is fine but it crashed a lot on my phone i’m now using" newpipe xsponsorblock" it took me a long time to import all my subscriptions but it works really great. The only alternative I would considered is freetube for android
What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024?
For me it must be kde plasma 6 and the wayland driver for wine....
recommendations for lightweight window managers for an old netbook

Librewolf but like... for chromium?
My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

systemwide subtitles for linux

What are some modern bullshit jobs?
Jobs that either don’t contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.
