I’m going to get obliterated in the distro wars for recommending a Manjaro derivative, but how about Mabox? It’s more of a ricing distro, but it’s also the most beginner friendly distro I can think of that doesn’t use one of the heavier desktop environments but still keeps the floating window paradigm as the path of least resistance. I think you’d be fine, just use the AUR sparingly. https://maboxlinux.org/
I don’t know what the state of either is on a Sony 10 IV, but the answer is almost certainly Lineage. It’s the more mature project, and it’s way more likely to work. And at the risk of getting on a high horse, Lineage’s unfortunate but necessary (if you actually want your phone to work) reliance on proprietary blobs is already bad enough; I certainly wouldn’t trust my privacy to a project like Sailfish, which I understand to be partially closed source.
Brendan Eich. Specifically his stance against same sex marriage. He was pressured to resign from Mozilla, which he cofounded, due to his support of California’s prop 8. Then he founded Brave. The Brave browser also has some annoying crypto and AI features turned on by default. I think it’s a perfectly fine piece of software. I use it as a second browser.
Yeah, I agree. “Stuttering” doesn’t sound like a touchpad-specific issue. My guess is there’s something funny about Fedora, either drivers or kernel flags or default plasma settings, that just isn’t playing well with that specific device. I wouldn’t be surprised if another distro magically fixes it.
Edit: Or there’s a hardware issue. Gnome caused the device to grind to a halt?
I’m intrigued, but I’d need to know more. Do I have to be an “accredited investor”? Would we be buying the entire airline, debt and all, or just its assets? How are day-to-day decisions handled; surely there will be some kind of leadership structure rather than pure democracy on the smaller details, right? And if there is, is democracy enough to prevent corruption, like we’ve seen in the supposedly democratic American government, or has there been any thought to the game theory behind the bylaws? I know they’re not collecting actual money yet, but what are the chances this whole thing is a scam?
I’m somewhere in the U.S. Our local politicians suck. I want to relocate. I supported someone last election cycle who was opposed to flock cameras, but they’ve completely fallen in lockstep with the established authoritarians since taking office. So I have been trying to avoid flock cameras on my route to work. But every time I find a minor detour, a new camera pops up. And even then, many of those detours are through residential neighborhoods, where every third person is a collaborator has a ring camera. My current route has me circling around the entire town before slipping back in on the other side. My commute has gone from ~20 minutes to ~40 minutes each way, which is just barely within my tolerance before I throw in the towel. There are several businesses I won’t even go to anymore, either because every possible route is surveilled, or because the business owners actively work against my interests (e.g. Whole Foods), which is actually good, since I find myself rabidly supporting local businesses, just as I should have been doing all along.
The article states that you can’t link your phone to Linux Mint like you can on Windows or Mac.
Huh?
I mean, you don’t necessarily need a fresh Arch install; I’d wager you could just switch to Arch in place by editing your /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist to Arch repos. You’d probably need to keep a Manjaro section at the bottom of pacman.conf to avoid breaking too many things at first. Is this a good idea? Probably not, but it’d be fun to try.
What an infuriating webpage layout. I can only see six passwords before having to scroll.
inv.nadeko.net isn’t terribly unreliable, but I usually eliminate most of the other instances from the libredirect list.
My wife wanted Linux on her tablet. She read online that Gnome was the preferred DE on touchscreens. I warned her that I personally dislike Gnome, but it’s not like I’m going to throw a minimal window manager at her, so I told her that’s fine and she should try it out.
Since I’m her tech support, I installed Garuda, a distro I already use. She played around with it, then asked if she could have desktop icons. It was stupid that she had to press a whole extra button just to see her “home screen”, she said. So I installed the desktop icons gnome extension, but it lacks basic features like either right click or drag, or maybe both. I can’t recall at the moment.
Then the onscreen keyboard wouldn’t appear automatically when using certain programs like Brave. And using the stylus to press the OSK would close it entirely. The stylus was really fidgety and oversensitive, too. I have zero touchscreen experience on Linux, so I was disappointed with gnome’s lack of GUI controls to fix these kinds of things.
She started to complain that Linux is too hard, then signed up for the 1 year extended Windows 10 support on her old laptop.
So I reinstalled Garuda with KDE this time, told her I tried something new, and she’s been happy with it so far. Turns out my wife just hates Gnome. And she expressed this hate completely unprompted.
That’s right, my love; fuck Gnome.
I’ve never been more proud.
Hold on. I’m as much a Linux fanboy as anyone else, but can you name one OSK that supports swiping to type?
Classical music. Classical music sounds better at full blast. Anything with either organ or orchestra. Blast it.
Unpopular opinion, but I actually don’t like the comparison. Not advocating violence, but if you’re going to shoot someone for political reasons, it’s not a good idea to shoot someone who can easily be turned into a martyr. This shooting seems counterproductive and, in my fallible estimation, will probably make the world slightly worse. Luigi picked a smarter target, one more likely to benefit mankind long term.
There are plenty of people whose deaths would make the world a better place, but many fewer whose murders would do the same.
Manjaro’s fine. Most of their problems were years ago. If it works for you, don’t listen to the mob.
Wait, the dog doesn’t like Matt? That’s a huge red flag, Emily. Dogs know. Take it seriously.
In my area, most drivers don’t start the turn signal until they’ve reached the intersection or have already started the turn. Infuriates me to no end. This is also true for left turns at red lights; they don’t activate their turn signals until they stop, sometimes not even until the green light, so you have no chance to change lanes before they block you.
Even if this was a filibuster, which would be the more likely motivation? Cory Booker shares your values, or Cory Booker is angling to run for President?
A while back, I needed a camera on short notice, but I didn’t have a server or any real hard drive space to speak of, so I just used “motion” on a 20 year old laptop, using the built-in webcam. It only saves video when motion is detected. I set it up to send me a Signal message with the video any time motion was detected, using signal-cli from the AUR. I know nothing about docker, but I thought it was super easy for my purposes.
