  • @FreddiesLantern Aside from the hiccups I mentionned, it works great! I was surprised my backlit keyboard even works, but I think that's managed by my bios.

    I'll keep on using it, but I'm trying to document my struggles because if Linux is aiming to be a good alternative to Windows computers getting to end of life, then some set up wouldn't be done by most people and just assume it's broken and maybe switch back to Windows where it "Just works".

    Maybe this can help with the onboarding experience!

  • @EtnaAtsume Mint install or not, you should regularly back up your data in an external drive!

    Yes, installing mint on the Windows partition deletes Windows and all your files so make a backup or put them on another partition!

    But without deleting your data, you can always boot from an USB stick and try thingd around in this environnement!

  • @Creat My laptop is weird, because it has a media key for screenshoting an area (which is basically a key that doed Windows Shift S which isn't recognized by default on Mint), and a print screen key which works fine. And to screenshot an area, on Mint it's ctrl+print screen

  • @Nyadia Figured it out and it worked! Strange that this isn't the default.

  • @scott It's a mastodon post, lemmy federates it and takes the start of the post as a title. Can't do much about that :blobcatcoffee:

  • @cmnybo I figured it out, but I think it's still not very intuitive when you're used to it working by default!

  • @eatCasserole I have found a software called Diodon, and seems to work fine!You need to set a custom shortcut in your settings but besides that it does the job

  • @hardzero1 Thanks so much! It worked! :blobcatheart:

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Finally, after some time I made the switch to #Linux !

  • @herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it's not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)

    Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!

  • @FirstThunder More like "Chromium takes 2x longer to process folder uploads (before I can even read the files)", and "Chromium drops all files without the subfolders when you drop a folder on a page (it's just like if you uploaded all the files from inside all the folders), although it still works fine when you use the upload button for some reason"

    So yeah, firefox optimized because Firefox implements the features better haha

  • Open Source @lemmy.ml

    -=My new file explorer that runs in your browser=-

  • @Redex68 Honestly I have no idea, I barely use OBS

  • @prex Wait that's a thing?Well, this host basically the same value as a "Sent from my iPad" signature haha, how can you encrypt a post that's publicly available to everyone?

    Sent with Mastodon Web

  • Programmer Humor @programming.dev

    "Encrypted"? Yeah, right!

  • @ShellMonkey Be careful, obfuscation isn't encryption!And no, there doesn't need to be a publicly shared token! Take a look at how simplexchat does it!https://simplex.chat/

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    The European Comission is looking for feedback on forcing retention of metadata from all communication services for "a reasonable period of time", for purposes of criminal investigation!
