  • What open-source applications do you use?

    Jump

  • VS code is technically not open-source since it has many proprietary blobs on top. VScodium is the fully open-source version.

    I don't know how much can Revanced be considered open-source except for their Revanced manager app since you still use the patched versions of the proprietary Google apps.

    Sorry for being pedantic.

    Wayland Color Management Protocol Might Finally Be Close To Merging

  • Tell one thing that you miss after switching from another OS to Linux.

    Jump

  • Are you sure Linux doesn't support shared GPU memory? I mean if you had an integrated GPU with no strictly reserved memory which is fairly common on cheaper notebooks the GPU has to share the memory with rest of the system. There's no other way for it to even function.

  • KDE Vs Gnome - Heavyweight Championship

    Jump

  • Gnome seems to still require you to install a browser extension to use Shell Extensions.

    You can download the Extension Manager from Flathub. You don't have to use a browser to install extensions at all.

    KDE widgets are fantastic, I love having system monitors in a hidden panel at the top of my screen so I can really easily check system resource usage. I haven't found anything similar on Gnome yet.

    There are extensions for that in Gnome. I would mention "Vitals" or "Astra Monitor" if you want to go overkill.

    Konsole by default switches tabs with ctrl tab but Terminal doesn't and thats basically my only issue with it.

    Default Gnome terminal is bad. Even Fedora which is a distro that ships almost every DE without any changes switched from the default Gnome terminal to Ptyxis. Ptyxis is probably still not enough for power users, but at least it has more settings including the ability edit keyboard shortcuts and looks better.

    By default on KDE, if you shake your mouse the cursor gets bigger and there doesn't seem to be a size limit which is so fun to do lol

    There's also an extension for that in Gnome although it probably does not have this funny "feature".

  • [HELP] Corrupted EFI variables?

    Jump

  • I think my issue is related with how Acer's UEFI handles efi files.

  • [HELP] Corrupted EFI variables?

  • I know that this is not a Linux specific problem either, however I didn't know where else to ask.

  • New to linux, would like some help setting up dual boot.

    Jump

  • AFAIK on most distros and desktop environments the default file manager can read NTFS partitions without any further setup needed.

    Jump

  • I dual boot Fedora with secure boot enabled for half a year already on my notebook with exactly 0 problems. Did few Windows updates already.

  • How Mozilla lost the Internet (& what's next)

    Jump

  • One of the few supporrting extensions on mobile and also you can move the toolbar to bottom to reach it with your thumb like a normal human and do not have to lift your hand to reach it like in Chrome mobile?

  • iQOO 12 gets Android 15 update internationally, Circle to search is in

    Jump

  • I don't know what everybody sees in circle to search. Isn't it just Google Lens which you can get on any other phone? I can make a screenshot and share ot with Google Lens to get the same result right?

  • What desktop enviroment do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I actually found cinnamin to be more resource intensive than Gnome on most computers.

  • draw.io no longer open source since August 27, 2024

    Jump

  • When excalidraw was mentioned in another comment I think it would also be worth to mention tldraw even though I don't kniw whether it can be counted as an replacement since I never used draw.io.

  • Google is preparing to let you run Linux apps on Android, just like Chrome OS

    Jump

  • Devices that don't depend on 3rd parties to unlock bootloader?

    Jump

  • The Xiaomi Android One line-up was unlockable without any hassle, but is long time discontinued. I used to use the Mi A2 lite as my main phone and you could just unlock it yourself offline. Only thing blocking you from doing it was the OEM unlocking toggle in developer settings. I still have the phone and it is running Android 14 like a charm.

  • iPhone 16 is here, but I’m hyped for just one reason: RCS on iOS 18

    Jump

  • RCS is an open standard, but Google's implementation of it isn't AFAIK. That's why there exist no 3rd party RCS client outside of those praised by Google.

  • Google is preparing a major overhaul to notifications and Quick Settings in Android 16

    Jump

  • Change for the sake of change. At least it seems to be in a good direction.

  • I don't understand why the control panel UI wasn't modernized instead? Would that really be unfeasible? I think it still might have been less work than to maintain 2 coexistent "settings/control panel" apps and migrate from one to another. Sometimes you have to throw out the old code base and start from scratch. But if you do so shouldn't you rather distrubute the result when your finished and not in a half-baked compromise-like state?

  • Down with under-screen fingerprint sensors!

    Jump

  • they never worked very reliably in my experience.

    It works perfectly on my phone (Poco X3 NFC). It is probably different from phone to phone.
