I was never able to fully get into Logseq, might give it another try at some point.

governorkeagan ,

Not necessarily unheard of but Floorp has been pretty great for work. I think all of the other applications I use are well known within their respective niche (e.g JOSM)

governorkeagan ,

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use vanilla Firefox instead but also have a web panel like Floorp. Being able to open and close a webpage on the side like that is pretty handy. Vivaldi has the same feature but I don’t want to use that.

governorkeagan ,

I have not, I’m using Standard Notes at the moment. I’ll have a look at QOwnNotes though, thanks for the recommendation

governorkeagan ,

True but isn’t it safe to assume the OP meant desktop (considering the community)? There aren’t that many people using Linux phones.

I suppose since more than one response is related to mobile apps, it’s not a safe assumption that the OP intended for desktop apps/programs.

governorkeagan ,

You should try Organic Maps.

governorkeagan ,

My thought exactly

governorkeagan ,

For the most part, that works fine. It’s more of a convenience feature since I can quite easily switch between different sites I have saved in the panel.

governorkeagan ,

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. My biggest reason for not using Vivaldi is due to it being based on chromium. I’m trying to do my best to reduce the market share of chromium based browsers

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

Minecraft runs great for me as well.

Prism Launcher seems to be well support on Linux and Minecraft runs fine on Linux (for myself and others) it could be that they’re trying to run a cracked version. Or that and a combination of poor hardware specs for what they’d like to do.

governorkeagan ,

One of us, one of us!

Jokes aside, it’s always nice reading stories like this. Even if I’m still a noob myself.

governorkeagan ,

I second EndeavourOS. Installation is dead simple and it’s given me no issues (that weren’t caused by me tinkering) over the last few months.

governorkeagan ,

Gnome on laptops (gestures just work really well!) and KDE on desktop. Although I don’t use half of the customisation features of KDE

I’ve not used it myself but I’ve only heard good things about bazzite

Unfortunately ChatGPT didn’t listen, would have been great if it worked.

New Linux user, here is my use case. Distro recommendations?

Update 1: Thanks for all the responses! I’ve gotten a lot of very good comments saying I should stick with Mint, and that’s sitting comfortably in my top two picks right now. Between new distros, I’m most interested in Arch’s rolling release model, as it provides some benefits for me for reasons I didn’t really get...

governorkeagan ,

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and you’ve just answered my question so clearly! Thank you.

governorkeagan ,

I’m planning on doing the same thing. I only have Linux installed at home. If they really need Windows for something I could always spin up a VM.

governorkeagan ,

I’d bet a large number of Windows and Mac machines are mostly just web browser machines

Just getting these devices (libraries come to mind) to switch to some LTS distro would bump Linux market share quite a bit.

governorkeagan ,

True. I’m thinking that if we have 20% of the population using Linux at work (like you mentioned), it would still help in converting others who use more specialised software (not just a web browser)

governorkeagan ,

I keep seeing this and I tried it but I couldn’t get great results consistently. Maybe I need to spend some more time looking into it again

governorkeagan ,

I believe Startpage uses Google

governorkeagan ,

That was interesting

I got a few new communities from this, thank you!!

This has worked really well for me

(Newbie question) Did i handle my system crashing correctly?

Ive just installed Linux (Fedora 40 KDE) on my main PC over the weekend, so im a complete newbie and i apologize if some of my questions are nonsensical 😅. Yesterday evening the system seemed to completely lock up at a certain point while playing Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time (installed & run via steam using proton...

governorkeagan ,

I don’t remember that scene from RDR2, I guess I need to go back and play it from the beginning again!

Regarding the crash, here are my two cents. I’ve played RDR2 on Pop!_OS and EndeavourOS and have not really had any major issues (I’ll get to that in a second). My specs are similar but not quite the same as yours:

  • Ryzen 5 3600
  • Nvidia GTX 1660TI
  • 32 GB RAM

The issues I’ve had have not been as major as the game/system crashing the same way yours did. However, I have had serious screen tearing and worsened performance (although not very often at all). Every time, I have updated the graphics driver or kernel (or both) and upon rebooting and starting the game again the issue was fixed. This may very well be the case for yourself as others have already mentioned.

governorkeagan ,

You don’t tell people that you use Arch in random conversations? /s

governorkeagan ,

Never thought I’d learn how to use tar on a meme post.

governorkeagan ,

I’ve got two Sandisks (both 64GB but different models) that have both been through the washing machine multiple times (accidentally) and haven’t failed yet. They are probably about 3 years old at this point but I can’t remember.

governorkeagan ,

Been using Lemmynade (!lemmynade) and am super happy with it. My instance also has a really nice looking frontend that works as a PWA as well.

governorkeagan ,

This. Thank you for explaining it correctly, I’ve seen sooo many people saying it’s just filters. Of course, there will almost always be some colour correction but the way a camera a camera can capture the light is different to the naked eye.

governorkeagan ,

I’m looking at putting Fedora Silverblue on my laptop (it’s shared between myself and my wife) after an update went bad on EndeavourOS — context

From what I’ve seen it looks rock solid.

governorkeagan ,

I’ve just finished installing Silverblue on the laptop but will give Bluefin a shot. Thanks for the tip!

governorkeagan OP ,

Yes and no. Initially it was unlocked because I mounted and unlocked it via Dolphin. The second time round I was able to unlock and mount it with udsiksctl

governorkeagan OP ,

It was causing me too much of a headache to try troubleshoot and fix that I decided to wipe the drive. I’ve got Fedora Silverblue running on the machine now. Thanks for the help!

governorkeagan ,

I switched to Linux in October of last year and found “The Linux Experiment” to be really helpful in keeping up-to-date with things happening in the community without feeling overwhelmed

Immich x FUTO Q&A (www.youtube.com)

Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....

governorkeagan ,

Curiosity got the better of me, so I searched what it means. I did come across another interesting phrase…

Futa-te cangurii

governorkeagan ,

So…I’ve just updated my laptop with EOS and now my /efi partition won’t mount. Things definitely can break…unfortunately

governorkeagan ,

It all started with a bad update that led to a kernel mismatch. I then attempted to fix the issue and made it worse…it was a little too much for my skill level (I was reading forum posts with similar issues when trying to fix it.)
