Definitely check out The Linux Experiment on YouTube. DistroTube and Mental Outlaw also make great videos about Linux, some of them are more advanced though. If you need to learn how to use the Terminal, check out Learn Linux TV, as well as some other recommendations from these threads: lemdro.id/post/8480193 and lemmy.ml/post/15455439

Did something ever happen there, or why is everyone talking about it? /s

Damn I forgot the /s in my previous comment. Thought it was kinda obvious, given that I’m replying to a /s comment.

Sounds good, I would be interested as I’m currently playing around with Nix myself

Damn I didn’t notice, usually I always double check my links before posting. Thanks for pointing this out!

I’m only aware of one app that can do this: Boost. But unfortunatly, it’s proprietary.

Thunder currently has an open issue for this, the dev is quite open to working on it. They want to rewrite the post area of the app anyway, so that’s when they will probably add swiping between posts.

Libadwaita has been specifically designed for simple GNOME-style applications that only have one purpose and don’t include many features. I wouldn’t recommend it for complex project like a DAW.

It’s also a bad idea if you want to build anything that’s more complex than GNOME’s single-purpose apps that lack all kinds of features. Building something as complex as a DAW would be a nightmare with libadwaita.

Not libadwaita, but GNOME. GNOME apps are meant to be simple, and only do one single thing.

developer.gnome.org/hig/principles.html

The best apps do one thing and do it well.

Resist the pull to try and make an app that suits all people in all situations. Focus on one situation, one type of experience.

You don’t need to, but the entire framework has been specifically designed around this GNOME development philosophy, making it basically unusable for anything else. There are much better frameworks like Qt (C++/QML, but has bindings for almost every language), Iced (Rust), Avalonia (if you use C#) and many others

I’m very happy with Syncthing, you can configure how you want the sync to work (e.g. one-way sync, two-way sync, etc.), the web GUI is pretty good and it’s not that hard to set up. I got the idea from this video back when I initially set up my seedbox, have been using this solution ever since and encountered any issues.

Stay away from proprietary crap like Discord, Slack, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. There are enough FOSS alternatives out there:

  • You just want to message a friend/family member?
  • You need strong privacy/security/anonymity?
    • SimpleX
    • Session
    • Briar
    • I can’t really tell you which one is the best, since I never used any of these (except for Session) for an extended period of time. Briar seems to be the best for anonymity, because it routes everything through the Tor network. SimpleX allows you to host your own node, which is pretty cool.
  • You want to host an online chatroom/community?
  • You need to message your team at work?
  • You want a Zoom alternative?

Ok sure, it’s more complicated in a corporate environment. But you can easily convince your friends to switch to Signal, I got almost all of my friends and family to use Signal and it’s great.

Wdym? The user experience is basically 1:1 the same as on WhatsApp
