Release notes...
Uraael, (edited ) to linux Given the importance placed on CLI usage by many in the Linux community it's weird that a terminal isn't open by default on many Distros. Today I remembered that while on Antergos a few years ago I'd installed a terminal that you could call simply by pressing a hotkey.
Enter Yakuake ("Yah-quake")
Yakuake smoothly drops down from the top of your screen in response to the hotkey (the default is F12) and voila!: a ready to use terminal! Add it to Autostart and it'll run whenever you run a session of Linux, forever saving you having to load Konsole (or whatever) every time you want to use it.
And as I'm running KDE the fact it uses Konsole tech means it has that familiar look and feel, but shows Session tabbing by default foregrounding the ability to run separate terminal sessions and putting it within easy reach of GUI users and a mouse-click.
What Terminals do you folks run with?
itsfoss, to linux Don't miss out on these Ubuntu 24.04 tweaks!
LouisIngenthron, to linux Okay, I'm doing it. I'm giving #Linux a fair shot for the first time in about a decade. You fediverse people convinced me.
tedherman, @LouisIngenthron Before Linux Mint, I was a Slackware user (since 1995). Using an old-style distro like Slackware, you see the command shell in each step, which lets you diagnose. Unless the problem is the boot image, which is another kind of more mysterious debugging where you have to get into verbose messages.
LouisIngenthron, @tedherman Yeah, I remember that! Somewhere around here I still have an old slackware distro spread across 7 CD-ROMs, lol.
In my case now, though, it installs just fine, but starts failing after I log into the installation.

I have a laptop that spends some of it’s time docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse. I would like to know how to change some settings depending on if it’s connected to the dock or not. Is there a program that can help with this?...
A short list with categories of my smol terminal focused tools, scripts and functions I have created over the years. There are some general purpose and very specific ones. This list was needed, because in Github it was a bit cluttered. Maybe, just maybe, you find something useful or inspiring in there.
Basically the title, I want to use my laptop, which uses Arch Linux, and my tablet, which is an android one, as an external monitor for my desktop pc.

darth, to linux A question for #Linux #Wayland users. I am running Debian stable with Plasma and my computer was freezing randomly, and very often. Let's say once per day. I was about to start replacing hardware components to find the guilty party, but then I switched from Wayland to X11 and it has been a couple of weeks with not a single freeze. Is it possible that Wayland is this unstable or am I doing something wrong? My GPU is Radeon 6000 if this matters.
lemba,
darth, @lemba a few people are sugesting that Wayland issues are ironed out in Plasma 6, while Plasma 5 might be an issue. Though, hardware is still not excluded. Thanks.
Running a distro in a disk image has always been my favourite install method since wubi came out because a backup was only a question of copying a disk image and a couple of grub config files....

gabriel, @BrodieOnLinux
I wholeheartedly agree with you on this (the message, not the title). It's why when I first wanted to donate to support Linux desktop I gave it to KDE cause I use/love KDE.
I wrote a post to encourage people to consider supporting projects they use.

Title is TLDR. More info about what I’m trying to do below....
