What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?
  • @drwho It's amazing how much work can go on behind the scenes to make things smooth and simple for the user....

  • @drwho @squid_slime

    Wow, that sounds like quite the adventure!! I can’t imagine juggling all those steps just to boot up the system....

  • GIMP 3.0 Enters String Freeze, Inching Closer To Release
  • @lemmysarius @halm

    After doing a few Google searches, I found that non-destructive editing is not fully implemented in GIMP 3.0, but that it is something that some of the developers are hoping to work towards over the next few years. GIMP 3.0 appears to primarily focus on moving to GTK+3....

  • Lightburn laser cutting software is killing linux support.
  • @Steamymoomilk At the very least, they could create deb & or rpm packages. They also have the option to use flatpak, snap, or appimage....

  • boot order trouble with dual boot Windows/EndeavorOS/Debian
  • @mactan @Nimrod It's very true that windows often disrupts multiboot setups. Just ask anyone who has a multiboot setup in place. They'll probably agree....

  • How Long Should Hardware/Software Support Last?
  • @Swedneck @breadsmasher It's wild how most modern laptops are a nightmare for repairs. Framework, feels like a breath of fresh air. Being able to buy it as a kit and put it together yourself is just so cool !! It shows that making things easy to maintain is not only possibe, but it's not even that difficult....

  • GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled
  • @Chewy7324 @wer2 I'll happily use wayland once XFCE officially releases support. I'm sure there may be a few kinks to work out or whatever with the initial release, but that's to be expected....

  • GNOME 47 Can Now Be Built With X11 Support Disabled
  • @wer2 @Chewy7324 exactly the same here. I too daily drive XFCE, never really change my setup, and don't require anything special that wayland offers. My setup just works for the most part....

  • Video DownloadHelper Firefox extension puts a giant QR-code on converted videos and charges $30 to remove it.
  • @4am @stebo02 yt-dlp is probably the best downloader on the planet. I have it installed on literally every device possible....

  • Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible
  • @sugar_in_your_tea Same here.. Until now, I've pretty much used each phone until the batteries died or the phones stopped receiving updates. My current phone, "OnePlus 9 Pro," is different, though, because I'm considering replacing the battery when it goes and using the phone long after updates have stopped. Having no security updates doesn't really bother me because I don't actually use my phone all that much, and whenever I do, I'm pretty careful anyway.

  • Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible
  • @sugar_in_your_tea fair enough & I suppose you could just go to a repair shop if not....

  • Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible
  • @sugar_in_your_tea @okamiueru 7 years of updates is great, but will the phone's battery last for 7 years, though?

  • Troubleshooting an annoying behavior - Gnome/NixOS
  • @pukeko that was a fun read 🫠 strange behaviour.. Was gonna say about a dirty keyboard, but it's clearly more than that. Hope you get sorted friend 🙃

  • Microsoft Edge, anyone?
  • @johnglass @LeFantome @gerdesj #Vivaldi looks like a great browser, but I've yet to try it out & probably never will....

  • Microsoft Edge, anyone?
  • @LeFantome @gerdesj I've found a few alternatives to #chrome & #firefox over the years, but most of them weren't all that great....

  • Did we kill Linux's killer feature?
  • @mfat I don't have snap or flatpak installed in any of my systems, therefore my entire system is still all upgraded with a single command....

  • How to replicate the "smart tv experience"?
  • @Otherwise_Direction7 @ccunix Yes Kodi is indeed a medic center, but you could launch it directly though a custom xsession, without the need for a de or wm. See the paste link below....

  • Looking for resource-light distro to run on 2010 Macbook
