  • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • KDE.

  • Is Linux support still needed nowadays, or is Steam OS good enough?

    Jump

  • Choose whatever is best for you.

    That being said, as a Linux user I always appreciate a native Linux version of a game that runs well and is updated promptly.

    As far as I know, there are game engines that make it easier to publish on many platforms, but I'm no expert.

  • Which Distribution and Desktop Environment should I use?

    Jump

  • My advice: try them all, then decide. They are all free. Most offer live systems. It will only cost you time, which will be well spent learning.

    tl;dr: Break things and have fun.

  • I want to make it dead-easy for others to chat with me. I want a browser-based, FLOSS, E2EE chat solution that doesn't require the other party to log in. Does that exist?

  • How is GOG Galaxy Still Not On Linux?

    Jump

  • Because it doesn't make business sense to them. The author of the article makes just two arguments and assumes those are the only relevant arguments. There's a lot more involved in the decision to port GOG Galaxy to Linux. Like support, for example.

    Personally, since proton got so good and heroic can just use any version of proton installed, I've began to buy GOG games again and run them through heroic. 99% of the time they just run OK. But of course I do my due diligence and check protondb before making a purchase.

  • How often do you downgrade Firefox versions or workaround issues?

    Jump

  • Never.

  • Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?

    Jump

  • Lightweight? I guess things have changed in the last 15+ years... I personally settled on Sayonara. Then I discovered Nuclear. Still undecided.

  • What's your favorite DE, and what does your workflow look like?

    Jump

  • KDE has given me the desktop I need for the past few years. Hyprland isn't a desktop environment, as far as I know.

    Before KDE I used Cinnamon on Linux Mint. It was functional, but after many years I wanted a change.

    Use whatever suits your needs. In my experience, KDE and Cinnamon are the most complete desktop environments without having to install extensions or extra software. Both are mature, have large communities behind them, and release incremental updates frequently. Those are my criteria for a good desktop environment.

  • And that's why I don't use flatpaks. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.

  • Does Lemmy have less personal stories than Reddit because users are more wary of doxxing themselves?

    Jump

  • Maybe?

  • Recommendations on Linux Friendly PDF Software

    Jump

  • As other have said, a combination of Firefox PDF tool, PDF Arranger and Xournal++ is all I've ever needed. And Okular is nowadays my viewer of choice, which does a lot on its own, too.

  • Altman to Musk: Don't go full supervillain – that's so un-American

    Jump

  • Half supervillain is American enough.

  • Do you use Gnome or KDE Plasma?

    Jump

  • KDE.

  • The Steam Autumn Sale 🎮 is over, what did everyone get?

    Jump

  • BioShock.

  • Dual-booting as an intermediate phase for fully switching OSs

    Jump

  • It would be easier to just try the live systems (booting from USB).

  • KDE Vs Gnome - Heavyweight Championship

    Jump

  • Changed to Cinnamon (Linux Mint) after GNOME 3 and Ubuntu's Unity went bonkers, then changed to KDE Plasma some years ago.

    I think KDE is constantly working to improve the desktop paradigm. GNOME tried to change the paradigm... I didn't like what I saw. I'm too old to learn new tricks.

  • Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.

  • When Do Debian Packages Receive Updates?

    Jump

  • When they're ready.

  • M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location

    Jump

  • How is this newsworthy... smh
