  • is there a download manager for Linux that just works?

    Jump
    • Does it auto capture download requests from the browser?
    • Do I need to copy-paste the direct download link to it?
    • Do I need to right click on links then select it?
    • does it work flawlessly with Firefox?

  • yt-dlp

    Hmm seems really interesting, will take a look at it when I have time

    DownThemAll

    Tested it unfortunately requires an extra step (right clicking on links), I'm looking for something that will auto start whenever I left click on a link instead of the browser built in download manager

  • Tested it but settled on FDM in the end because of its simplicity, convenience and ease of use

  • I settled on it in the end but I installed the deb package instead from FDM website, the flatpak just refuses to install and I'm not willing to troubleshoot the issue

  • I don't really know what you mean by not copy-pasting links but you don't gotta do that.

    Here is what I mean, in testing JDownloader and other download managers I did a simple test, I open a website like let's say https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download-fdm-for-linux.htm and I left click on the download button if the download manager auto captures the download request and start downloading the file or prompt me to authorize the download then the download manager passes the test but if the browser built in download manager starts downloading instead then it is an instant failure; I put this extension to the test and unfortunately it failed.

    wine probably is your best bet if you just want IDM in Linux form.

    It installed successfully but unfortunately it seems that it won't work with the linux version of Firefox so I uninstalled.

  • Lol, I actually know about JDownloader2 but never used it but well I'm downloading it right now so let's see

    Update: close but not enough, FDM is the winner for me

  • text clarity on windows is so good, can I get the same on linux?

    Jump

  • the font is probably in your repos as well

    Unfortunately it's not:(

  • Thanks! But I think I will stick with the open source drivers as LibreOffice now runs much faster! Opening and scrolling through the fonts list used to get the GPU utilization to go all the way to 80 to 100% and it was so slow it took the system to register my keyboard Inputs a few seconds but now the issue disappeared!

  • Scaling has always been set to 1x (100%) and I have never changed it or played with it until today!

  • Thanks a lot for the info! I just went and installed segoe Ui font, and it looked even worse than Ubuntu Regular and I tried all the hinting options and made sure to restart after each change!!!

  • I tried to upload a screenshot when creating this post, but it seems there is an issue with the instance I'm on, so I just tried uploading it to Imgur instead so here you go, and oh scaling is set to 1x (there is only 1x which is the default and 2x which I tried today, but it made all the UI elements and text too big and yep I'm not using the same fonts for comparison and I don't think it is as simple to install and use the font used by win 10 and/or 11, and honestly I do not know if using Microsoft font going to fix this issue or not

    screenshot these all are the default settings except maybe for Hinting
