juli,

No idea why people misinterpret my comment. Foreign in this cintext means strange as in stranger, someone I do not know, not as in from another country.

Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

juli,

Use this github.com/DLopezJr/fp

juli,

Relax. It’s new. You can’t have everything at the beginning

Upscaling isn’t really the holy grail

And it can’t definitely make up for the subpar image stabilisation of the pixel.

juli,

Thx for the input! I’ll research in the direction of it further more - maybe first with android in mind.

juli,

Overlaying isn’t bad. It’s kind of what we’ve done the past years anyway.

Does the speed of updates matter in any way? Unless it’s not days, there’s no reason for me to complain update the duration since everything is done in the background.

What’s the difference to the auto update in silverblue?

Ootb fedora doesn’t even have gnome extensions installed. We have to adjust our systems anyway

juli,

Why?

juli,

It’s within the accessibility features

Haha, I just mean a bot that posts the peertube link instead of youtube just like the piped bot. It was a joke but it would be cool if there was one - but it should remind OP to post on peertube as well - probably a bad idea! 😅

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...

juli,

There’s a guide for it protonvpn.com/…/port-forwarding-manual-setup/ it works ok

juli,

They did what?

Mullvad was working incredibly well with port forwarding. Thatbwas their selling point compared to proton. Wow 😅

juli,

really? “Very” annoying? :D I see the ads as well but I only see ads for the higher tear and not really often. I wouldn’t call it “very” annoying

juli,

This incus? github.com/lxc/incus I don’t understand

juli,

Usually linux is better than windosd

juli,

Wow, your considerations are invaluable for my next steps in this topic, thank you very much

The thing with arch is that you have to know a lot of stuff. You have to take care of selinux yourself etc. If you know what you do, everything is fine. At the same time you can be on tumbleweed, kinoite or any other distro and install aur packages with distrobox. For me, there’s no reason to use arch. If you want to tinker with your system, go for arch.

If you kind of know what you do as a beginner, you can go for it as well, steep learning curve but you’ll be more advanced than others in the same time.

juli,

It’s a LOT slower than SSD

  1. It doesn’t really matter much which distro you choose.
  2. Use flatpaks - flatpaks sandbox your apps more than traditional packages. As a side effect, the package manager of the distro won’t matter anymore.
  3. There are thousand of distros, stick to a popular one.
  4. Install packages on distrobox instead of directly onto your system if you use the terminal. Stay as close to the base image as possible. If you want to have access to all packages, install arch/endeavouros on distrobox and use the aur. If a package is not on aur, it’s not published yet. With distrobox there’s no reason to switch to another distribution because of package availability.
  5. Use a distro with which you can roll back to a previous state easily. If things go downhill, youcan always fall back. There are many distros that provide a very easy out of the box experience for that. If you can’t fall back easily, ignore the distro or be prepared for the worst case
  6. Arch is for advanced people because you may set up your system as you like. There are many great distros that choose the base packages for you. You will have a great experience on most big distros. Most of them use GNOME. GNOME is great. KDE is awesome. Tough decision. Watch youtube vidoes about both. Install the other one in a VM to check it out. You may use an immutable distro like fedora silverblue/kinoite. You can switch back and forth by rebasing to the respective desktop environment.

Following is a good source for anyone looking into desktops www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop/ they focus on an educated distro choice.

Read the arch wiki whenever you want to do something or want to know something. wiki.archlinux.org you want to know more abiut piewire? aw! You want to know about GNOME? KDE? Type !aw KDE into ddg, qwant or brave. Read the respecting documentation of your distro. Follow them on mastodon. Register to the forum. Join a matrix community.

Watch great channels like “the linux experiment” on peertube. Yes peertube, why should you watch it on youtube if it’s on peertube?

juli,

You can test it today. The feature freeze has happened already, thus nothing will change until the release

juli,

Thanks for pointing it out. I was using backticks for too long, but I fallback whenever the text has multiple paragraphs and when sentences shall be in a new line.

I am very disappointed that markdown is not perfect. I still use it and I hope there will be some day a latex html markdown successor.

juli,

Yt-dlp can hat on its own. No need for an external script

I want to hoard it, any idea which tracker has german mediathekview content? I’m not aware of any

I dont like usenet and other hosters. I never could get it working properly

juli, (edited )

Close, but it’s a little bit more

thetvdb.com/series/with-open-cards

Playlists don’t work

juli,

Thx. I just meant usenet. *arr is working but there was a lot of rubbish on usenet when I tested it.

juli,

Is there a competitor or is that the first of its kind?

juli,

I was just lazy, but thx for the explanation and the importance of correct spelling
