  • As a Vivaldi user, I found that no other browser works as well for me, as Vivaldi does. I can't imagine life without browser workspaces, sync, vertical tabs on the desktop, and a mobile tab bar at the bottom.

    The closest alternative is either Floorp or Zen, with mobile Firefox and Sync, but I found Vivaldi is just smoother and a better and more well-integrated user experience for me.

  • Is there a Macro application that doesn't need a whole lot of scripting knowledge?

  • Autoclicker basically.

    Also AutoHotKey exists

  • Linux distro for noob

  • I think it's more about the specsheet than anything else. If Mint works, great! I'm just not too sure how well it will work (It should work well, but is it the best option?).

  • KDE releases alpha build of KDE Linux, an immutable arch linux distro

  • I mean, yeah, Fedora Atomic is based on rpm-ostree

  • Here's my .zshrc:

    and ~/.config/zsh:

    https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/dotfiles/-/tree/main/.config/zsh

    This config uses Starship for a prompt (https://starship.rs/), Homebrew as an extra package manager, and my own custom fetch script at:

    https://gitlab.com/theshatterstone/fetch

    A lot of it was taken from Luke Smith's zsh config. Say what you will about him, he's got a good zsh config. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLEo4OQ-cuQ

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • I can confirm I'm a newer user (not a normie) to Nextcloud and I don't know or really care what it uses because it works so I haven't had to learn what it is or how to debug it.

  • System76’s COSMIC Desktop Hits Initial Setup Completion

    Jump

  • Yeah, they're holding back PopOS 24.04 because they want to release it together with COSMIC. Though at this rate, COSMIC will be out not long before 26.04, so idk what they'll do there.

  • System76’s COSMIC Desktop Hits Initial Setup Completion

    Jump

  • I agree, and COSMIC aims to reach Mint level and stay there. Settings have continuously improved (like everything else), and the main feature of COSMIC is tiling (regular people don't care about written-in-Rust or Wayland-only). I can't wait to see major settings/features appear with the next release, like Night Light. For now, I just want to see it stabilise fully and reach release.

  • Crafting a retro desktop for old computers (~1GB RAM) the right way

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm waiting for River 0.4.0 and I can't wait to try it out and hack around with it. I'd love to add "a Custom WM for River" to my project portfolio.

  • If

    the learning curve for a tiling window manager is too high

    I highly doubt they'd go for dwm

  • WinBoat is a new Linux app to run Windows apps with "seamless integration"

    Jump

  • I can think of one: Excel Macros. If this had come out before May 2022, it would have saved me from needing to dual boot for a single assignment where I needed to do data analysis using Excel just two months after switching to Linux. It was literally around 2 hours of work, or less, and the entire dual boot setup took a similar time.

  • More like Current Year + 1.

    There isn't really a year of Linux. It's just consistent growth over time, with some boosts here and there.

  • No, Ubisoft's EULA clause ordering you to destroy your games isn't new, nor is it unique

    Jump

  • The AC4 image is suitable, as I will, in fact, continue pirating the hell out of Ubi games I want to play, including Black Flag which I almost 100%-ed recently (haven't gone 100% on main missions yet).

  • Systemd's Nuts and Bolts - A Visual Guide to Systemd

    Jump

  • If you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd's nuts and bolts. I'm not gonna beat around the bush: It's a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.

    Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn't get the love it deserves: D-Bus.

    Okay, those innuendos have to be intentional!

  • Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • It isn't. I'm on PopOS 24.04 Alpha 7 (soon to be Beta 1), because of COSMIC (and because I was having some bugs with Fedora a few months back).

    I recently wanted to tinker with a piece of software that wasn't packaged, and I couldn't compile it because of outdated libraries. I could return to Fedora specifically to tinker with it but as an ex-distrohopper, I know it isn't worth the effort.

    Even though Fedora or some version of it will likely be my forever distro, I will stick to PopOS for now because I can't be bothered to distrohop and back up months' worth of files, including game saves and a ton of stuff in my Downloads directory.

  • Cracked minecraft: where the heck is it? How do I obtain it???

    Jump

  • Java is easy, Bedrock is almost impossible.

    For Java, there are plenty of cracked launchers. Just find one that is a jar file and make sure you have OpenJRE installed. I think I was using SKLauncher.

    For Bedrock, your only real option is finding the cracked launcher AppImage that has the ability to use .apk files. The hard part is that if you're on an x86 platform (anything desktop that's not using Apple's M-Series or Qualcomm's chips), you need an x86 apk, and the x86 apks from TLauncher will not work, I tried. You could scour the internet and find 1.8, and 1.14 (Village and Pillage) x86 apks, but they're super old at this point. In the end, I gave up and paid £6 (UK), for Minecraft on the Google Play Store, so I can play Bedrock. It's probably the only digital game purchase I've ever made.

  • According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.

  • Same here tbh, but I never used my Linux device for it in the first place, so....

  • in case anyone wants to try out a privacy-respecting, community-empowered map app! so excited for this! - midwest.social

  • Apparently, there was some drama within Organic Maps and this is a fork. Idk if it's worth it.
