"Hardware Error" after re-powering a broken washing machine (lemmy.world)
Hello,...
Hello,...
On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?
jhx, to linux A little rant about why I stopped distro hopping :linux:
Today I’m here again to terrorize this community with my Bash scripts nobody asked for....
santiago, to linux So I decided to try LocOS -KDE version on the 2014 mac Mini. It was reponsive but just like the heavier KDE neon at some point it ended locking up the GUI while I was doing updates. I could still exit with ALT+F2.
So I guess I need to try the XFCE build.
santiago, @lerudd I am really impressed with latest #LocOS + XFCE. Easy to understand , fast, light. Efficient. Good choice of default stuff. 2010 Mini had become very sluggish on MacOS unless you stuck to an outdated version.
Playing 480p YouTube video on this Core 2 Duo with no hiccups using 1.8GB of RAM. This one has 8GB but they sold 2GB versions back then.
santiago,
I’m having a fair share of problems with OpenSuse Tumbleweed and python atm....
before the issue, wifi app was configured not to start automatically because I sometimes change the mac after logging in. I usually enable it afterwards with iftop and then systemctl start NetworkManager.service && sudo nm-applet...
After a crash during an update (which I managed to recover from), the default file manager Nautilus no longer works, and crashes so hard it crashes VirtualBox too....
I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI)....
dhh is the creator of Ruby on Rails. He has extensively used Mac for decades. A few months ago, as far as I remember, he mentioned something like switching to Windows and WSL.
Released back in March of 2018 was the Amarok 2.9 music player for this KDE project. Shipping today is finally Amarok 3.0 as the first major release in six years and now ported to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.
forteller, to linux There's been so many Windows enshitification moments where people say this is our best opportunity for helping more people get their freedom trough #Linux.
Now we have maybe the best of these moments yet – W11 demanding new PCs, W10 being killed off, and this whole Recall shit.
Yet, after all this, I've never seen any really newbie friendly website explaining why and how to try Linux – with simple text and elegant design.
It seems to me the #Gnome designers would be perfect for making this.
forteller, @codemonkeymike Off the top of my head: short & sweet at the front, internal links to longer texts explaining more, no technical lingo, lots of screenshots only of GUI. Needs to cover at least:
- Reasons to drop W (mostly inside a link, no reason to expand on the front page b/c most people there are likely interested)
- What software can you run and what can you not, inc easy workarounds and who might not be able to switch
- One recommend distro
- Easy guide to choose between KDE and Gnome
forteller, (edited ) @codemonkeymike Also:
- How to install. Serious question: Would it be possible to make a USB flasher that runs in the browser, so that you could just tell the person to plug in a memory stick and press this one button, and it flashes the iso for you with no extra steps? If not, make it as simple as possible, perhaps download just a flasher which then dls the correct ISO
- Where and how to get support
The best would be if LUGs started meeting up again and it could connect you to your local LUG
thelinuxEXP, to linux Time for this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News! In this one, we have a terrible feature being added to #Windows, we have the # KDE #Plasma 6.1 beta, and a 5 year plan for #GNOME!
jglypt, @thelinuxEXP can't believe what Microsoft is doing with Windows 11 now tbh. Thought they would want people to move across from 10. If they add stuff like the recall thing to Windows 10, they are screwing themselves over even more
MithilaGames, @thelinuxEXP One correction, Bitlocker is gonna be default in upcoming windows version, it means that windows is going to be slow and lots of people is going to loss their data, it is good for Recall screenshot feature but bad for average widows user.

ascherbaum, @berniethewordsmith Currently have 641 nature/space pictures in a folder, my desktop switches to a new one every 5 minutes. Downloaded them over the years.
miugnutos, to linux Portuguese Uma das paradas que mais me preocupa em #Linux é ter uma galera cabeçuda demais, às vezes, tentando explicar coisas que não são muito óbvias pra um usuário médio (ou levemente acima da média) de computador. Por isso também eu quis escrever esse tutorial. Passei umas 2hrs tentando achar um lugar na internet que indicasse um caminho de maneira suscinta, direta, sem pular passos demais, sem deixar nada muito implícito. Consegui achar um vídeo que facilitou as coisas, mas escrevi esse passo a passo pra ser mais um suporte a quem se deparar com o mesmo problema que eu

laydros, @jhx nice post. Reminded me I first encountered Linux when my friend got a cable modem (maybe 1999) and I only had dial up, and I started to research if he could be my ISP.
jhx, @laydros
The good old days 🙂
thomholwerda, to linux Attention all #Linux, #Wayland, Intel graphics driver, and #Fedora experts - if you have any free time, please take a look at this issue we're facing:
https://github.com/sonnyp/linux-minibook-x/issues/7
Loading the edid should've worked in enabling 90Hz, but it did not. Any help or insight would be so, so appreciated.
vwbusguy, @thomholwerda On the flipside, those things are supported by Fedora and there may be other Fedora users with the same problem so you raising the question and getting help might help others out as well and possibly even for those not running Fedora that stumble in from a search engine about your issue. All that to say, you're definitely welcome to ask about it there.
vwbusguy, @thomholwerda It's a community distribution and not a commercial one. Think of it less as a support entitlement and more of an opportunity for the community to come together to help one another out and potentially make things better for users of those things in the broader Linux/open source world. Reporting bugs and problems is useful way to contribute, even if your immediate personal goal is just trying to get your laptop to work better with it.
