  • Anyone use powershell on linux?

    Jump

  • I've once created a profile with about 1500 lines of code for powershell, managing AD at work. It was great to learn, it's great for scripting and it's very intuitive (for me at least), I also liked working with objects.I wouldn't use it on Linux though, I'm not sure how well integrated it is.I'm using fish at the moment, desktop and server, and I like it primarily for the functions and the autocomplete

  • Starting out with Selfhosting

    Jump

  • As others have commented, stick with the Mac.I recommend installing proxmox on it and run the apps you want. You can run pihole in a VM.Do you need a NAS? Not really, but if you have cash available maybe get a used tower, use the disks you have and install TrueNAS. And this will only cost you max €200

  • Choosing a Linux Distro

    Jump

  • Lot's of great answers already. I'll just had my thoughts and hope it helps.Choosing a Linux distro is fucking hard, but the good thing is that you already have a DE (Desktop Environment) that you like, KDE Plasma (KDE is the community, Plasma is the name of the DE) and it's my favorite.

    1 - Manjaro was my first distro for daily use. I would not recommend it, i don't think it's stable enough to get into linux. Would not recommend any Arch based distro.2 - OpenSuse is an old distribution, but not beginner friendly, so maybe not a good idea to dip your toes into it.3 - Fedora is well established with lots of documentation, a big community and a 6 month update release model that should give you the newest features very fast while still maintaining stability. I don't recommend the Atomic distros. If you've already installed and it works then stick with it for a while.

    There are also the Ubuntu based distros like Kubuntu, KDE Neon or Tuxedo OS. Ubuntu has probably the largest user base, so documentation is abound everywhere regardless of the distro you pick.

    You're already testing out different distros, try to daily drive for a month and read up on what makes them different. In general it's how to install software, the release model ("Long Term Support" or "Rolling Release") and the core system. Apps are installed on top of the system and right now come in a variety of formats. I strongly recommend that you enable Flatpak on the distro you chose and use the Discovery app for software management.

    Edit: Added "Tuxedo OS"

  • Could someone help me setup local file sharing? [Fixed]

    Jump

  • You might have answered the OP question, and a long standing mine as well. Gonna check this up on my setup

  • Europoors, complete this sentence: Lidl is better for X and Aldi is better for Y

    Jump

  • Very similar to what I'm experiencing at the moment. The vegan options are disappearing from Lidl and Aldi is getting more vegan options

    Permanently Deleted

  • Virtual Machines- is there a better way to jump start a VM?

    Jump

  • We can't figure out how to disable secure boot

    Jump

  • Could have been disabled by the vendor. My partner has an Acer with the same issue.

  • I could use some troubleshooting help for a Linux laptop

    Jump

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • I agree. I think OP should try another shell first. That will impulse the use of the terminal. I'm using alacritty because it stuck and the updates are minuscule, but I've recently moved to fish and have it on desktop and server.

  • Is there any open source tv focused os/ui?

    Jump

  • Want switch to linux

    Jump

  • Fedora KDE would be my suggestion

  • Better music management

    Jump

  • No more music streaming

    Jump

  • Slskd was such a find for me. Paired with beets it's been my favourite storage/sorting method.

  • No more music streaming

    Jump

  • Exactly my thoughts. Bandcamp is my goto for independent artists and labels.

  • No more music streaming

    Jump

  • Just remember to pay forward. Go to local music shows, buy merch from the bands you like

  • What file explorer does qBittorrent use? (Debian/KDE)

    Jump

  • I think you're referring to the "file picker" window. i think qBittorrent is using Dolphin as the file picker and as everyone else commented already you can get the same behavior if you use the "Details" view. Go the settings on Dolphin and tick the Expandable option

    Alternatively, you can add the Folder panel (F7) and have the same functionality while having a "Compact" or "Icons" for the files

  • Which (Lenovo) notebooks to buy when coming from Apple Silicon?

    Jump

  • I think for OP it would be better off with a Framework laptop. It makes more sense in the long run.Linux on ARM is great for SBC servers but not so good on the graphics stack. As @Vittelius@feddit.org pointed out Snapdragon SOCs are still lackluster. I'm sure Framework will have ARM in their lineup in the future (there's already a RISC-V mainboard) while support for these CPUs keep improving.On the other hand, i recently bought a 6 years old lenovo, installed Fedora KDE and it all just works, more importantly for me power management is no longer an issue. It will never be on the level of the newest Apple silicon though.
