  • Here we go again

    Jump

  • I would argue:

    2022 was the year of the Linux Handheld 2026 will be the year of the Linux Console (putting my hopes on SteamMachine)

    Now the year of the Linux Desktop is a finicky definition by tradition. To me its a personal distinction. Whenever Linux replaced your previous desktop OS is YOUR year of the Linux Desktop.

    replaced is also not discreet but more of when you felt you replaced your Desktop

  • Alle Konten gekündigt: Rote Hilfe droht das finanzielle Aus

    Jump

  • Naja die Kontokündigung der Roten Hilfe kam am 23. das sollte wohl im Weihnachtstrubel untergehen und macht's wahrscheinlich auch schwer zu reagieren aber ich bin mir sicher ein praktische Reaktion (über ein Statement hinaus) wird bald kommen. GLS Kundinnen und Genossenschaftsmitgliederinnen organisieren sich bereits, da wird es sicher zu entsprechenden Reaktionen kommen.

  • What DDNS providers you guys recommend?

    Jump

  • I had used duckdns for a while back in the day. Always worked great.

    These days I have a domain at namecheap which provides a DynDNS feature as well so I'm using that.

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • And around here a lot of leftist spaces enable you to have fun while spending little to nothing. Dirty punk concerts for a low cover charge and beer almost as cheap as in the store. And most of not all of those prices are "pay less if you can't afford it".

    Other than that if agree with other commenters. Knowing spaces/people to hang at/with. I'm perfectly fine spending time in my one bedroom if I'm not alone all the time there so having some friends over, even if it might be crammed, and just shooting the shit is a simple and affordable way to have a good time

  • Are you a "tankie"? (2025 edition)

    Jump

  • No.

    I'm an anarchist. I organize with Anti-authoritarian Communist though since most anarchist here are batshit 😅

  • Let me tell you:

    I've been using Linux exclusively since ~2010 and moved my mum over back when XP got canned. Printers always have been and still are the bane of my existence. From what I know from other people working in IT printers are always bad, however of course the driver support situation in Linux is so much worse. My mum used to have a Samsung mfp that would print in Linux (most of the time) but I could not for the life of me figure out how to get it to scan reliably. In the end I've set her up with a dual boot with a simple "click here to switch to Windows" button so she could scan in there (saving the scans to a NAS)

    From my experience printers mostly either work or don't work in Linux. If you are looking for a new printer I've only had food experiences with Brother. If you already have a printer and it's not working right I can recommend sxouring through forums for that one wisdom of the ancients that can help (and possibly sacrificing a goat)

    I bow also have a Canon printer (it was a gift) and with the official Linux drivers it worked for years. Recently it just wouldn't print from Linux anymore till I switched the drivers to the generic "Guteprint" now it's printing fine again ...

    Tl;dr: printers are evil and Linux drivers are sometimes making them worse

  • Man clings to Austrian high-speed train and survives

    Jump

  • The [...] train [...] left Sankt Poelten on time but arrived in Vienna with a seven minute delay

    They had a 7 minute delay after performing an emergency stop and pulling someone inside.

    Deutsche Bahn trains are 7 minutes delayed if everything works as planned

  • My first thought seeing this headline was "who cares I'm using Linux anyway" ... My second thought was "Well I'm probably gonna start working in a mixed environment again soon and I'll be the one who'll have to disable Recall for the Users ... So good to know

  • What is the best Power Outlet, and why?

    Jump

  • I'm biased, but Type F

  • YouTube app is the worst

    Jump

  • Yup that's my way to go.

    Revanced on my phone for watching quick videos/on the go and SmartTube on the TV. If I find a longer video to watch I usually start it in Revanced and then play it from history in SmartTube

  • Distro advice for a specific case.

    Jump

  • As someone who's installed arch manually back in the day way before archinstall was a thing I tend to agree. Putting together your own install and seeing how everything fits together, to me, is the point of arch. If anything breaks I know what too lol at since I put it together myself and now how it goes together.

    However sometimes we might need to reflect on gatekeeping and just because "back in my day we didn't have a fancy script to help you" we might still let people use it for their first install (or let them use a arch based distro to get started)

  • Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

    Jump

  • I never use the "App Menu" on my laptop I don't even have any favorites.

    I hit the super button (windows key) to open the app overview and type the first few letters and hit enter.

    So e.g. SUPER fi Enter Firefox opens with just 4 key strokes in 1 second

  • Well as someone who's been using gnome since about 3.10 I might be able to explain my view:Before that I've used plasma and Unity and a whole lot of Mate but then I started using Gnome for a pretty and smooth experience right out of the Box.Now I've simply been using it for so long that it's muscle memory all the way.I don't agree with everything the gnome devs decide and I definitely am annoyed that I have to use extension for small things that should just be a toogle in the settings but I've realized some time ago that if I did switch to plasma I would use all the customizability to make it work like Gnome ... so I stay on Gnome.

  • Which way do your windows open?

    Jump

  • Oh no! I'd have to leave the room for that. I cringe way to hard every time anyone (or even I myself) gets a window into option 1.5 it feels like things are about to break very bad.

  • Realizing Arch isn't for me after updating broke VLC

    Jump

  • Interesting. Been an Arch user for about 12 years now. Your posts made me curious to check my forum post history. I have 4 Topics I started where I never got any reply or the only reply is from myself stating that I found a solution and what it is. Then I have 3 Topics where people actually engaged with me, asked for some more info gave some tips and pushed me in the right direction.

  • Converting an image to PNG alignment chart

    Jump

  • You know who used to do that? Microsoft Teams. I would take photos with my phone and upload them via Teams, Teams would display them just fine but saving them teams would name them .png (even though they were jpeg) and I couldn't open them with the gnome image viewer (this is also how I found out that the image viewer prioritizes extension over magic byte (which seems stupid to me).
