smileyhead, to linux in But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!

Just use some unknown program in binary form downloaded from random site that require adminstration access and God knows what it does, because Windows don’t have an option or config file to change simple thing👌.

smileyhead, to linux in Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?

Linux kernel is really good at backwards compatibility, better than any other OS.

Software can be bad at being backwards compatible with older kernels, but you should be able to run newer ones.

smileyhead, to linux in Is DNS Bloat too?

Okey, I don’t get it. What’s wrong with DNS?

smileyhead, (edited ) to linux in One of these 6 will become Plasma 6. Wallpaper Which one do you prefer?

3 and 4 are nice but as something someone would set themself. Too much character and detail to be the default when Plasma do not target any specific demographic.

1, 2 and 5 are nice abstract wallpapers, but honestly boring as we have stuff like that for years.

6 is the best. This is wallpaper with some style, but not too much character.

Edit: Just in my opinion and for my eye of course.

As someone who needs to do initial installs on computers with 10-20, I celebrated. It is much easier to type names of the programs and the manager do anything instead of manually downloading installers. But turned out WinGet is really badly done.

As for preferences, for some this is actually Nintendo vs Sega unfortunetly. But don’t underestimate moral decitions too.

smileyhead, to linux in Amazon Building its Own Linux-Based OS to Replace Android

Another not-Linux Linux based operating system. Can’t wait to argue same as with Android and ChromeOS that this is not like “real” desktop Linux looks.

We really should stick to calling it GNU or something.

smileyhead, to linux in What Is Linux Mobile - technical explanation of the ecosystem for Linux on smartphones previously (often previosuly android)

I have OnePlus 6T with Droidian and must say it is this close to daily drive for me.

Everything works and there are apps for almost everything I need. As someone who uses only FOSS social media and things, there is Mastodon and Matrix client, I just lack maps with navigation (can use Organic Maps via Waydroid). Beyond that what is left is polish and tiny things, like for the performance or support for controlling media via buttons on bluetooth speaker.

I also tried PostmarketOS, that is adapting real Linux to phones (when Droidian is taking Linux kernel and drivers from Android and building on that). It is great if someone can get around lack of camera support etc., but for me now it can act like a second device or RPi alternative.

The ability to… you know, just use normal SSH and all the commands, Flatpak apps, all Pipewire tools, not fiddling with Android Studio and it’s stupid SDK or customizing my UI with just CSS is magical.

Seriously, fuck Google and Qualcomm for creating such hostile drivers ecosystem. There are brands like Fairphone that I think would happly support Linux but can’t because of Qualcomm only releasing their own vendor kernel prepared only for Android.

smileyhead, to linux in short question by an aspiring user

Yes, you flash the installation system onto the USB stick, boot the laptop from this USB and then it should be a simple graphical installation wizard. There are plenty of tutorials online and even if all computers can be slightly different it is basically the same scheme.

Once Steam is installed Proton is automatically downloaded for games that by default use it. Games that are not officially using Proton can have it enabled in Steam’s game properties. Most would point you to protondb.com, site showing what games you can suspect to work.

Better teach yourself what ADHD is if you ever want to get out of your basement.

smileyhead, to linux in New Plasma 6 Default Icon Theme Looks

I liked old look more. Would prefer to add even more preinstalled icons instead.

smileyhead, to linux in Mobile App, redesign, new dev, promotion… let’s build a bright future for PeerTube!

It is part od the Fediverse, so commenting, likes, following, etc. should regarless of what ActivityPub-enabled service you use for interactions (for example can comment from Mastodon account).

The “Peer” part of “PeerTube” means that the video player itself is based on torrent technology. It is not saved on your device (unless you decide to), just when you watch you also send the video to cut off some of the server’s bandwidth. Videos are not shared between servers, only the information that they exists, only on uploader’s server and between user’s devices.

It is not to preserve videos online, for that we have other tools like proper torrents, this is ment to be alternative to YouTube. TLDR Here ActivityPub is for statuses, Torrent is for helping the servers.

smileyhead, to linux in Based KDE 🗿

KDE Plasma is an desktop environment.

The kind of thing you interact outside of installed app/programs. Like the panels, window decorations (titles, close buttom, maximalize button), the way windows float and behave, system settings, etc.

Unix systems (like Linux) are very modular and you can install different desktop environments if you want. And even within those desktops are modules, like you can install different “start menu” or file manager on KDE Plasma.

Change is hard.

smileyhead, to linux in Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

You can do an alias for the shell you use or make a symlink to /usr/local/bin/ for the entire system.

There are importany reasons why this is not the default, but you can do it as long as you are away you have done it. Like when programs installed via package manager and flatpak starts conflicting, you’ll know why.
