Nah, I created a Lemmy account at the start of June (at least the Jerboa installation date says that) and uninstalled boost a few days later. Only checked in on Reddit from time to time with libreddit, to have a look at the John Oliver party.
I deleted or mass-edited all my comments and sent an GDPR request. Only thing left after that is the account deletion.
Didn’t want to give them any traffic anymore, so I avoided everything about it.
I’m using Linux for desktop since years - even my non tech savvy girlfriend uses KDE without issues on her laptop.
What was your issue?
I can’t stand to work with Windows. Is gruesome slow and confusingly designed. Configuration is splittered across the system. Some parts in GUI setting tools, some part in registry, some part in specific files.
Error codes are completely useless under Windows. In Linux the error message gives me at least a clue what’s happening.
I can’t understand how anybody can really work with Windows. Gladly I can do 99% of everything in Linux. Only some industry hardware configuration tools are still stuck on Windows.
Never worked nightshifts?
The cleaning crew at the hotel on my last business trips are always extremely noisy. But I’ve just hit the bed after my shift, some breakfast and a beer.
Would be nice to at least once get 6 full hours of sleep…
So… What’s the purpose of the ban then?
Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can’t grasp what they are deciding on?
I recently wanted to run tegaki, and my experience is pretty much summed up by the meme. I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but I just couldn’t figure out how to compile it. So I just gave up, downloaded the .exe and put it into a fresh wine prefix. After installing CJK fonts, everything ran fine. Now I’m trying to get...
Is something like barrier/synergy already working with wayland?
I wanted to try it so badly, but controlling multiple computers with one set of keyboard & mouse is quite essential to my workflow.
Also, does X forwarding over ssh work in some way?
Like, can I open remote GUI programs over ssh on my wayland, like on X11? And less important for me, but still, also the other way round?
Thanks upfront!
I have some FOMO here, but last time I checked wayland couldn’t provide me those things, I need for work :-(
I’m reading a lot papers after I switched positions in my job. I felt reading on my display annoying. I can’t draw on the PDF easily nor able to read while I code (not without switching windows). And printing papers is annoying too. I can’t search and the physical paper pile up quickly....
I currently live the remarkable 2 and also had the first one. Wouldn’t want to live without it, but the software is still not really there…
There are some patched versions on GitHub with more functionality, but never tried it.
Company itself argues, they want to be as near to paper as possible. so not many features, which is a fair design choice, but the software still feels sluggish and unoptimized imho
I found this little fella (as well as a number of his friends) outside. It’s cold and wet, so I brought them in where they can get warm and dry out. Remember folks, if you’re cold they’re cold.
Panaeolus cyanescens can be grown at home - at least there are finished sets, I couldn’t get to fruit mine with cow dung, as planned… But the original substrate worked well
Yeah, but then I’ve a web exposed service and I want keep a low profile as possible with what I’m exposing. So I guess as long as there aren’t many users to manage, wireguard (or a tailscale configuration) could work out for OP
I’ve setup wireguard, because it’s only me and an employee using the services. But with that, externally I don’t even seem to have a port open. But wireguard is so fast to be online, that I’m just always connected as soon as I’m online - using a domain and an IP update script
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?

As long as the laptop boots, you should be able to switch to a TTY console, where you have a complete shell interface to your system after logging in (in said TTY console). So, being greeted with a login screen or something is a win here - but you’re very vague in your report.
The GUI is only just a program and has nothing to do with your boot options in BIOS or bootloader (like grub).
Using CTRL-ALT-[F1-9/0] you can switch between your virtual consoles and on only one of them your GUI is running.
You can use any other one to change anything on the system from CLI.
You should also be able to stop the current GUI/X11 Session and directly start the window manager you wish - temporarily to fix your system, if you’re not confident in the CLI.
Be honest, do you still use reddit?
