What is your opinion on GNOME 3 and 4? Why do you like/dislike it?
  • Indeed, but I find the system tray a bit lackluster as some apps don't appear in it.

  • [Possible bug] kBin keeps freezing on Firefox
  • Sorry for misunderstanding, I should've been more clear: I do use extensions, namely uBlock, Tampermonkey and bitwarden, but I was also using them when everything ran smooth.
    What I meant I didn't quite understand was "try creating a vanilla prefix (firefox -P), then testing it there".

  • Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.
  • Yup, pretty much. And most of the times I've seen right wing people just come comment the most batshit crazy thing imaginable. This doesn't mean left wing lunatics don't exist too.

  • You're in for a bad ride then. There will always be politics in some magazines/threads.

  • [Possible bug] kBin keeps freezing on Firefox
  • Could you be more specific? I kind of get what you are saying, but I didn't test extensions until now so it's kind of an alien language.

  • I had it happen both on kbin and federated threads. I'll link one when I encounter this again.

    [Possible bug] kBin keeps freezing on Firefox

    As the title says I've noticed that in the past day kBin often freezes up when I view a thread (Firefox pops up asking me if I want to stop the tab or not). I use Firefox on EndeavourOS but I didn't have any problems with it for the past 2 weeks.

    Is anyone else encountering this/is it a new bug?

  • I watched it and I don't recall even one scene about gays. People are retarded.

  • Is there a Linux mail app that's similar to the default one in Windows 10/11
  • He said he’s using Arch so it should be available. I got it on my EndeavourOS and I’m really satisfied.

  • Removed
    Say goodbye to the name Twitter’s Bird. Elon Musk changing Twitter logo to ‘X’
  • I grew such hatred for this man in the past years I wish he would just ruin himself and not hear a delusional thing from him ever again.

  • KES 2.0.0: improved cross-platform compatibility, more stable, many new features
  • Probably already requested, but can the floating subscribed magazines panel be added? It's quite handy to be able to quickly see all the magazines you're subscribed too, instead of having to enter a separate page.

  • Why do people post so much crap on linkedin?
  • I agree. Of all the social media platforms I've used, Linkedin is the closest to an insane asylum I could get.

  • First days with daily driving Linux
  • What scaling do you use? I tried 1.20 but it gives me a bit of a weird feeling.

  • Laptop, kind of a must have because of University. I preferred Gnome as it was a mature DE I could’ve left untouched theoretically. Although that was not the case :D

  • First days with daily driving Linux
  • Unironic, I had the idea of using Edge, mainly because on W11 it was running better than Firefox. Thought decided to give Firefox another go and see if I’m satisfied.

  • Not really a fuck up but couldn’t come up with a better category. I mostly searched everything by myself.

  • I agree that the sentence is cursed :D I keep archwiki close

  • First days with daily driving Linux
  • Just followed the tutorial from leagueoflinux + killed the client process after the initial download, restarted and worked like a charm. It’s a bit laggy in champ select but in game it works well.

  • First days with daily driving Linux

    Hey everyone, a while ago I made [this post] (https://kbin.social/m/linux/t/108370/Help-me-find-a-fitting-distro) asking for recommandations of distros. After some considerable thinking I went ahead and chose EndeavourOS (with Gnome) due to wanting an experience as close to Arch as possible but having some handholding at the installation process.

    I also chose to dual boot Windows11 for some games that can't be run on Linux (looking at you Valorant). Anyway, here are the impressions of the first 2 days of daily driving EndeavourOS:

    Pros:

    • right of the bat I had better driver support than on W11, namely I could connect directly to WiFi, without having to plug the Ethernet in, download and install the WiFi driver and then connect to WiFi.
    • very pleasant GUI installer
    • fantastic look and feel, it's been a while since I've enjoyed exploring a piece of software this much
    • the amount of customization: it was a blast theming everything with rose-pine
    • better performance while gaming: admittedly, I don't game much besides League of Legends/CSGO, but I got much better performance on League than when I was on W11 (this is due to a strange bug on W11 that made LoL not run on the dedicated GPU no matter what I tried)

    Cons:

    • for now I can't consider anything as a downside as I think it's too early to make a distinction between my incompetence and the OS's limitations.

    Fuck ups:

    • first time when I installed EndeavourOS I didn't select grub as the bootloader, so I was like ??? when I didn't get to select the booting OS
    • I can't quite select a good font-size for Firefox. It's either too small, or everything too big
    • not knowing how to properly set the theme so I at some point had the same theme, but in different flavors across different apps
    • I installed Bing Wallpaper extension for Gnome but I couldn't configure it to only change the lockscreen image (this was one of my favorite W11 things), if any of you could help, I'd greatly appreciate

    That's it for now, I'll come back with an update after I get to fiddle around with Endeavour a bit more.

    Help me find a fitting distro

    Hello there!

    After some lurking on r/Unixporn and its Discord, I'm more and more tempted to try Linux as a daily driver. While I'm by no means a pro, I've been using WSL at work the past year and generally I can fiddle around finding solutions when something doesn't work.

    These being said, the main requirements I would have from a distro is to be able to run League of Legends (saw that it's pretty straight forward using Lutris) and not be insanely complex from the get-go (wouldn't want to jump straight into something like Arch), I intend to use something like Hyprland.

    So far I am split between OpenSuse Tumbleweed, NixOS, Fedora and EndeavourOS, but would gladly hear alternatives.

    LE: Read (and tried to reply to) most messages. I will come back with an update once I decide my pick and see how it goes. Thanks everyone!

    Sustainability of kbin

    First of all I would like to suggest to @ernest to take a day or two break from working on kbin and in general to not overwork himself. Secondly, some sort of Patreon should be setup to streamline the donation process. I, probably like many others would like to just set up a recurring donation and forget about it. Thirdly, I think it would be great we also have something like https://beehaw.org/post/428209 to keep this as transparent as possible.

    Seems like the federation was turned on not long ago. It's very exciting to be part of kbin's growth!
