  • What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

  • Wait, is 7zip not available on Linux? Then what have I been using??

  • I am by no means a master at OBS, and I wouldn't know where to point you to learn. Everything I know I've learned by either poking around in the software or googling specific questions, i.e. "how to overlay twitch chat in OBS". As you can probably guess, I used to use it to stream to twitch. Not very suddenly, mind, but I did it. Lol!

    OBS is designed for streaming out and recording video, not really for music production. I'm sure there are some FOSS music production softwares worth checking out, though!

  • I recently switch to OnlyOffice for their UI/UX, and it's been brilliant. LibreOffice is a delight, though.

  • I've been looking for a good password manager, and I've heard a LOT of good things about Bitwarden... guess I'll have to bite and see what all the fuss is about!

  • I adore OBS. I've been teaching my friends the basics on how to use it, as they've all been using some proprietary crap that makes their lives marginally easier in one or two areas but adds a huge headache in others.

  • Xfce appreciation post

  • There is a place for graphically gorgeous distro's

    As a current KDE user but extensive user of XFCE in the past, it may not come "pretty" out-of-the-box but XFCE can be a very aesthetically pleasing desktop environment. It can be configured just about every which way, and if I had to switch back to XFCE right now I could have things just about how I want them and be 100% as happy with my desktop as I am with KDE.

    It's got defaults that just make sense, doesn't try to reinvent the wheel or the way we interact with our desktops, it's light and fast and reliable. It's associated default programs (Thunar, etc.) follow the same design paradigms and are a delight to use.

    I Iove XFCE, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

  • So I installed EndeavourOS ...

  • Endeavor is fantastic. For all the time I ran it, I never had any of the issues that people say Arch is riddled with: updates irreparably mucking up your system, packages making a mess of things, the AUR being unstable and dangerous. I've found that most of these claims come from people who are against the way Arch does things and have never actually tried it for any extensive amount of time.

    You do need to be mindful of updates being pushed to your system (read the newsletters, they will tell you if anything in the update is broken and how to fix it) and have the technical know-how of how to fix those things when they do happen... And they will happen. That's any rolling release, though.

    Personally I use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for gaming, it was a breeze to set up and continues to be a breeze to work with. I love every second of it. But EndeavorOS is a very close second for me.

  • Is Blocking Users Problematic to the Platform?

    Jump

  • Indeed. I find the inverse to be true. It's getting harder and harder to browse Reddit without being logged in, but Lemmy is no problem.

  • ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors v7.4 released

  • Isn't OnlyOffice proprietary software?
