kde, linux, busses, open source and the good old Grateful Dead.
I am really surprised how up to date Fedora is. The frequency is rather surprising. I have Arch on a desktop and Fedora on a laptop and the default kernel is only a step behind. Gimp was set as 3 for months now on Fedora which also was a surprise.
I see freerdp. Does it have multi monitor support for wayland yet?
Multi Monitor support on a remote session for one. In fact as of right now the situation is even worse and causes the application to crash altogether instead of dropping back to a single screen. Yes, I probably could force a x11 backend and it might work. But I shouldnt have to.
I am assuming this is the same security issue that has been there for a while. So many applications that could interact with other screens become broken. Maybe some of that is fixed, I suppose I should try again. But until I can multi-monitor with a remote session, I don’t bother trying.
I am all for Wayland though, don’t get me wrong.
Not yet. Still too many broken and unusable things in Wayland. Sadly.
After they domesticated themselves I am pretty sure their natural habitat is whatever we decide it should be. We already are deciding if they can breed at all so…
All the cats in my neighborhood that were outdoor cats have been killed within a week. Coyote has had some good eats this week.
Given that windows administration is powershell these days they kind of are similar.
Windows is missing so much in their guis abilities (like copy text) that I wonder what there is you are missing.
Edit: Although this is not an admin function, one thing that bothers me about windows, A LOT is that the file explorer does not show free space while I am in the current directory. Dolphin will do it even for SMB shares. Also you can click the drop down and examine all drives right there instead of have to back to the left and ruining your view in explorer. And don’t get me started about how you can’t split views in Windows explorer. This is just one everyday task where windows GUI is lacking in features even though it is not an admin tool.
I have been using Linux for a long time (20+ years) and my main had been Arch.
Just wanted to say I put Fedora KDE spin on a laptop about 8 months ago and it has been great! Updates are frequent but have gone smoothly, some software is newer than arch which is kind of surprising.
But it’s all been integrated well and I was pleasantly surprised.
So I agree with you as a longer Linux user.
I hope the new Fedora project lead does just as good a job.
I have Fedora KDE spin on my laptop. I have not seen a single bug for a year. Arch KDE on my desktop, and occasional glitch but nothing like you describe.
I dobt think this is a KDE issue.
Are there any guides for gett8ng this to work as a flatpak in Arch? I am not sure I can get it to connect to an output or jack.
Yep, you gotta do what you gotta do. I could never blame anyone for that.
Then when you are your own boss you can do it your way!
It sure is a popular app regionally. Lots of people in different countries I know use it interchangeably at this point: when they say text, they mean whatsap. I get it.
But I will not support Meta, there is a line. I don’t need family or friends that cannot use open source alternative. Worse case, I just drop back to sms.
But work requires it? Or you happen to have work that needs to support many customers? I suppose I could see that, but work would then be a completely separate phone only for that purpose.
Life fair. It’s only trying to help you not have to use whatsapp.
Every single ununtu release since Warty has been trouble. Ubuntu breaks. Does wetid things. Makes weird choices. Upgrades often fail.
I am surprised it took you this long to run into issues.
No, it would be more like a poor craftsman who doesn’t recognize it when a tool is crappy. Ubuntu is always on the way to breaking, or is broken at the get go. I remember when they thought 4 was stable. It was not nearly compared to most anything else at the time.
Even recently I had to install Ubuntu for a project because that is what the vendor supported. Several things were broken post install. Default Ubuntu stuff that should have just worked. Par for the course. If you get past that, of course the mishmash of Snap management for feature incomplete software can be very trying for a new user, when other distros make it easy.
Most crashy breaky mainstream distro there is and always has been.
It’s barely tolerable.
But I did used to like the departure from blue themes like nearly everyone else.
Why didn’t you take the laptop out while you were still inside the pub? And typically wouldn’t you use directions to get to the pub, and getting back is just going the way you came?
No osm and on Linux?
Its just open street map data. Use the routing tool on their web page.
Or make your own if you want to using gis.
Or use the beta organic maps flatpak.
Or KDE Marble has OSM routing as well.
Thunderbird. It’s great
I am not sure how to make it look shitty like Gmail, maybe you could theme it to wast a ton of space.
Seriously, do you want a useful email client or not?
Strawberry or Clementine. I mean 100K entries in a database is nothing. Even for SQLite. You can add multiple library locations, this is no problem.
You probably want Strawberry as it is newer and maintained, but I still like Clementine for the extra features that Strawberry doesn’t have yet. For you probably, not a big deal - things like podcast support, cloud support etc.
I am using both in arch and fedora, depends on what I am trying to do. But I don’t think I have ran into having to use flatpacks in fedora. But I am sure there must be some packages they no longer maintain.
