I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. (www.adobe.com)

I expected ridiculous propaganda from Adobe, but they give absolutely no reasons why Photoshop is better than Gimp and list a bunch of things that Gimp can do too....

Will installing windows on a separate drive break my current linux install?

So, i use linux, i don’t have any windows install on my disk, but someone wants me to install windows on their HDD, so, if i plug said HDD on one of my sata ports and try to install windows 10 on it, will it mess with my linux boot? if yes, is there a way to prevent that without physically disconnecting my main drive? (my main...

Sadly only SATA ports can be disabled on my board, that doesn’t seem to be possible to do to the nvme port, but thanks there!

Well i guess, i don’t really have whole system backups, but not much important data to be lost either, i know backups are good, but i don’t want my storage to go all on that…

Plus a broken boot on linux doesn’t necessarily means all files were lost right? (Unless storage is encrypted, which mine isn’t, but that’s a different case)

@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeaah.

Fortunally i got to convince the person to bring their whole PC, so now i won’t have to deal with this anymore! Thank you very much for the answers you and everyone here!

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, i usually have a bootable usb with some Linux distro laying around exactly for cases like that

Thanks for the advice there!

Do not disturb hides all common notifications here on lineageOS, and that’s what it did on all aosp’s I’ve tried till now too

[Linux question] How to disable an I3 keybinding when on an specific application?

So, i just started using I3 through Arcolinux, it’s working pretty nicely all things considered but i’m having one little problem, a game i play uses keys that are very close to a keybind combination that is set here and that makes me accidentally trigger it sometimes, and i wanted to know how, if possible i can make so this...

Seems nice, but i don’t know if i got it… How would i do that? i don’t have much of experience with all this script stuff…

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

It took me a while of looking at it and a youtube video but i think i got what this does, it’s really pretty much what i need! Thank you very much for sharing it, didn’t really knew about this groups thing

“Piracy is growing back!? How?? We had prattically killed it with our optimal services haven’t we??”

Will copying files from one external drive to another create write tasks for my machine internal drive? how does that work?

So, i use linux with kde and was copying some gigabytes of files from a smartphone to a usb device and while doing that the system monitor kept showing that it was writing some mb/s and i got curious, is said writing happening to my ssd or is it just talking about the usb drive?

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

i see, will take a look on what iotop shows next time then, thank you very much!

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ooh, so… Would a crucial P3 2280 500gb fall into this category?

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh, saad didn’t knew that, so like, that means this ssd is super bad? And should i remove the swap here? (I have 8gb of ram and 4 of swap)

Oh and how to i set up Zram?

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oh, that makes sense… Now I’m concerned bout mine

Quills OP ,
@Quills@sh.itjust.works avatar

I usually only see swapping when I’m like, playing on big Minecraft modpacks which i don’t usually do much, but ok thanks!

Its so sad basically all the songs/artists i like to hear aren’t on funkwhale, I’d so use it if i had a good amount of things to listen there

Is it possible to make audio from both channels come out of the "front left" on pulse audio?

I hope it’s fine to ask this here, I’m using endeavor os with KDE and got some little speakers for my pc, they however only seem to play sound from the “front left” channel, is there a way to make pulse audio send all audio on it? Like, mono mode? I couldn’t find anything that does that…...

hey! So, i ended up trying to download this again and it worked perfectly, it was exactly what i needed, i think it didn’t work before cuz i had downloaded the wrong app, didn’t saw that the name was “easyeffects” and downloaded this “pulseeffects-legacy” one, which didn’t work probably cuz turned out i was using pipewire-pulse all along, so yeah, your suggestion was the one i needed soo, thank you!
