Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

This is how it could look like from now on fedoraproject.org/silverblue/ https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d46b2a9c-d42f-46d9-aa50-9aacce83adbc.png

forge is awesome! Currently, I love PaperWM. Here are some suggestions https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/35d08a34-f9bc-400f-ba60-3c2c02b04613.png

github.com/DLopezJr/fp may help until flatpak solves the usability issue

Because the Firefox browser is open-source, we know Firefox inside and out

Ok

Tip: you will still need to restart Firefox for the latest version.

That shows who the target group is

  1. To state that firefox is fully compatible with flatpak is great! That is a reason to use the flatpak version of it.
  2. Nice
  3. It’s nice to see better performance but you could’ve just told distro maintainers what to do
  4. Updates are fast even if you use the flatpak or distro build.

I use firefox btw

Edit: I compeltely forgot that ubuntu replaced firefox with the snap version. Is this the reason why they do it?

And, I don’t like that ubuntu replaced the distro firefox with snap but at the same time I don’t like that fedora still sticks with the distro firefox and not the flatpak version on atomics. I am nuts.

Edit2: I am not nuts! Ubuntu let’s you believe you install the apt version of firefox. Fedora shall replsce firefox with flatpak but it shall not pretend that it’s installed via rpm-ostree / dnf.

On nautilus you can’t even click the address bar. On dolphin it still works as you say.

I didn’t even realize this until you wrote it down. That is bad. It’s the same on mobile. Consistent behavior is good. At first you select the box and then write into it. It’s good that it selects everything, otherwise you would have to select everything in order to be able to use it as the search box. It would be very annoying if it were differently.

That leads me to the question: why aren’t we using the path box to search stuff like on browsers? Dolphin even opens firefox and searches for “test” when I type just “test” into it. Why is http the default protocol?

beta_tester ,

Hmm? You lose the namespace isolation, and by extension the chroot, but that’s it. It’s definitely nice to have, but to say it’s “most” of the sandboxing seems a misrepresentation. Note that some distros disable the kernel support for them by default, so that’s what they currently get regardless of Flatpak.

To firefox it doesn’t seem to be too bad.

beta_tester ,

Finally I underdtand to whom I talk, thx

beta_tester ,

You can save up to 77% if you buy now.

you can never save by buying something. I save if I don’t buy.

beta_tester ,
  1. why
beta_tester ,

I’d never use absolute paths unless it is a file that will always be there, e.g. system files, icons, etc.

beta_tester ,

Carrot and stick - no loss.

Stop watching this crap

beta_tester ,

This sounds more like a coordinated attack on matrix to ruin the system/ reputation/ joy

beta_tester OP ,

Thanks for showing me what the block button is for

beta_tester OP ,

Can’t hurt to ask

beta_tester ,

Ripping childrens audiobooks from youtube with ylt-dlp is my least favorite because uploaders upload trash a lot, i.e. they let it repeat two times or even more often within one video.

I prefer subscribing to podcasts and downloading audiobooks via the usual means. There’s also good stuff on deezer which is very convenient.

beta_tester OP ,

even on a 64GB (space, not RAM) machine, I would use a flatpak centric installation. The 1GB difference isn’t really that important, imo.

beta_tester OP ,

No, you’re right but people keep saying that space is a concern when thinking about flatpak. This article clearly shows that that’s not an issue.

beta_tester OP ,

Maybe because silverblue already had a runtime installed

beta_tester OP ,

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie

beta_tester OP ,

As soon as you’ve got enough storage you don’t need to care anymore. Just like I moved all my photos and videos to immich and I don’t need to care about my phone storage anymore

beta_tester OP ,

May I ask what’s filling uo that space since you respond to my comment about having moved all media to a server which I can access instantly from anywhere.

beta_tester OP ,

Doesn’t sound like you shiuld care about one or two gigs 😅

beta_tester ,

Nextcloud notes?

beta_tester ,

I’ve never done it but at boot you should be able to choose from which drive you’d like to boot. You’ve got two drives and a usb stick with arch. Leave microsoft alone (remove, if you are afraid, and it’s ok to be afraid. Once, I did overwrite something important) and boot from usb and select the other drive when installing the OS. Then you should’ve arch installed.

Then, you boot your computer and select the drive from which you’d like to boot (arch). Set the arch drive as your default drive that auto boots after x seconds

Good luck on your arch journey and take time to understand everything 💪🏻

beta_tester ,

What’s the reasoning behind your question?

Every graphical app of course unless there’s an issue with packaging or any other problem.

beta_tester , (edited )

Op tried manjaro, not arch. Endeavouros is arch. Manjaro is superfluOS.

beta_tester ,

I’d love it. This should be proposed to them.

An Update & shutdown option

beta_tester OP ,

Like this? lemmy.ml/comment/7587233

I can’t use hardware acceleration as I’ve got an nvidia card and I wasted already many hours on it. Buying another card and smashing the old one against the wall would be better 😊

beta_tester OP ,

I did that a long time ago and I was more pleased with unmanic but I’ve got one job and that’s just to convert 264 to 265 which should be straightforward and easy and many people should want this as ee all have limited storage

beta_tester OP ,

Thx for reminding me.

Is it ready for prime time already?

beta_tester OP ,

Thx, this whole thread tells me to have another look into it. It may have been just me or the wrong guides but I was desperatly searching for a way and couldn’t find one.

beta_tester OP ,

Thx, I guess I move to av1 then since many recommend it and say it’s ready for prime time

beta_tester OP ,

I guess newer hardware is cheaper than drives

beta_tester OP ,

Thxn i’ll have another look into it!

beta_tester OP ,

That’s more work at the first glance since it’s not just a couple of videos

beta_tester OP ,

Thx, i’ll have another look into it! I just couldn’t make it work

beta_tester OP ,

So, I should not look into enabling hardware acceleration?

beta_tester ,

I haven’t seen 1 star trek meme
