Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).
It’s in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I’ll give up.
I like the idea. In regards to lemmy and its instances (so I guess a smaller Scale to what your suggesting … Though I still don’t fully get the fediverse).
I did something similar when picking a Lemmy instance. What was the instance that had defederated others the least. There was a git page somewhere that listed them all.
On the flip side I’ve heard a notion that no one single instance should become the “main” instance. Probably with your suggestion new users would gravitate to the big circle. Thus making it the “default”. But maybe it’s different when looking outside of lemmy instances to the wider fediverse.
My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.
It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.
It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.
And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.
I’m new to Linux and use Endeavor OS. Its Arch BTW so everything I do I just look up the Arch Wiki.
Endeavour comes with KDEPlasma, or you can pick others. It also has basic applications like Firefox and media players. But nothing in the way of office etc.
I think Manjaro is similar but deviates from arch a bit.
For me it’s the wiki. Arch just explaining so simply. Searching an issue for LMDE just lead to forums. And the Debian or Ubuntu wikis don’t seem as good as arch.
Plus must searches for <other distro> issue seem to lead to forums and random “run this code”. All arch searches led back to the Wiki. All hail the wiki.
But srsly. I feel like I’m LEARNING Linux with arch. Rather than just running fixes for the other distros.
It was night and day for me. I’ve found vivanvce better than ridalin. I’m technically only prescribed rodalin atm though. But keep forgetting to take the afternoon dose. Who could see that coming. 😅
Nothing is more frustrating than finding a note and wondering what it means or if you did it.
New to the diagnosis. That’s a HARD yes from me.
That goes into cyber space where I never see or remember it again.
Note: Pack X and Y for weekend.
Weekend comes. Fuuuuug forgot X and Y.
This. In my recent experience on one laptop. Arch (Endevour OS btw) installed fine.
But LMDE would not boot. I got a system disk missing error every time after install. So much playing with EUFI settings in BIOS, boot back to live disl, multiple re installs, GRUB repair, remake the ISO (ISO was fine, installed on another PC with no issues). Gave up. Just could not boot to the OS.
Install normal mint. No issues.
And past the install? Bluetooth dongle works fine on arch, but so many issues on mint.
WiFi dongle A works on arch, but not mint. WiFI dongle B dosenr work on arch but does work on mint. Took me a while to work thst one out.
Headphpnes have some weird echo back to me when mic is on. Use pipewire config from archwiki. Worked, but reduced qualoty. Tried a few other configs. Didn’t work. Must have broke something coz now the original config dosnt work. So will just deal with echo.
0 of these issues on windows. And 0 likely your regular user can easily swap to Linux.
Will stay on arch tho. Fuck spez windows.
I wish I could block keywords in images. Can’t fucking escape it. And my country is owned by the queen king.
This is what I’ve unknowingly been doing. All my open source apps are in Linux. The transition was pretty smooth.
Doubt the “whole office” was even involved. More likely it was one incompetent employee. We’ve all been there. It depends on who answers your call as to what answer you get.
As a noob where do I find more handy tips like this? Alone with handy/popular apps?
Almost every windows app I had was on Linux (most were FOSS already) but I know there will be some unique or interesting ones.
For example in android there is Obtanium now to update apps direct from git, or the many was to use YT without ads.
Can you explain more? I’m getting into Linux and ops post has been a game changer.
Any benign over InkScape if I’m ready proficient with InkSxape?
Win 10.
Slowly have been moving odd big tech platforms. Recently got a Fair Phone. Read win11 disasters. Trying Linux for the 20th time.
Its been longer than 3days now so that’s something.
Been making these moves over 5 years or so. Slow and steady.
Play store only? Or fdroid/github too?
Thx
