I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.

Intel UHD graphics.

I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.

Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it’s compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3… 2… 1…

You did not include the scale in the photo.

Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc.

Yup, that’s how it’s supposed to be. You turn on your PC to get your office work done, not to reinstall display drivers each day.

Gone are the days when you needed to compile your own modem drivers to access Internet from your Linux PC.

The Linux experts here are using their technical knowledge to perform advanced tasks like setting up server clusters for AI-generated furry porn, they are definitely not the ‘average’ Linux user.

It’s not the same without two little screws jangling about

Are there any new phones or tablets using Tegra SoC? It seems like they are only used in car electronics

Because OpenVPN lacks the most important feature of them all - it will not remind you to top up your account balance.

I went with OpenVPN because it’s installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

I don’t think that Wireguard is more secure, its’s simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.

Because installing some random app is worse than simply using pre-installed system service.

Both are security audited, but I’d still rather trust OpenVPN.

That’s not how you do it.

Click ‘Downloads’ on the Mullvad website.

Scroll to the bottom section ‘Unable to use the app’

Click ‘OpenVPN’.

Download OpenVPN config.

You already have OpenVPN installed, skip all fancy installation steps.

Click network settings in the taskbar, ‘New connection’, ‘OpenVPN’, ‘Import configuration’.

Turn on your new VPN connection. Done.

No, and I don’t think I will learn another tool for something that I can already do using grep/sed/find commands, which I know by heart.

Grep is fiiiiine.

sed is okay but a little nasty, when your sed script is longer that one search-replace command you gotta ask yourself what you’re doing really (yes, sed is a full-featured Turing-complete programming language, if you go far enough into the man page).

When I see awk in any stackoverflow recipe, I just say ‘removed it’ and rewrite the whole thing in Python. Python is included into the minimal system image in Debian, the same as awk, but is way less esoteric, and you can do python -e 'import os, sys; commands;' for a one-liner console script.

And if you want to talk about portability, try writing scripts for Android 4.4 ash shell. There’s no [ ] command. You do switch/case to compare strings.

It’s emacspiracy to subtly teach unsuspecting Ubuntu users the despicable ways of Emacs Lisp.

It all starts with learning 100 common terminal keybindings. And un-learning Ctrl-C.

I’m sorry, I’m too old to learn emacs over my perfect knowledge of Midnight Commander.

The point of this topic was to tell why we are using terminal, and emacs is kind of terminal on steroids, there are like 1000 key bindings and the mouse is totally optional, you are proving the point even further.

To get removed done in general.

If I need to rename a file, yeah, I can do that by right-clicking it in the file explorer, and selecting ‘rename’ from the menu. Two files? Painful but doable. Three files? Oh hell no, I’m switching to my always-open-in-background terminal window, and write a quick c=1; for f in *.jpeg; do mv "$f" $c.jpeg; c=`expr $c \+ 1` ; done and it takes twice less time than clicking things through with mouse.

And yes, I wrote that shell command off the top of my head on the first try and without edits.

Thanks.

Still no Play Store links in sight.

I’m not sure who exactly maintains f-droid builds.

Gimme new Play Store links kthxbye.

Is there a remindme bot on Lemmy?
