Deckweiss,

On linux you could easily do it, by running a script every n minutes that takes a screenshot and pipes it to an ai and then stores it wherever you want (including a local NAS)

With some extra effort you could tie it into the DE/WM and take a screenshot when a new app is opened or on focus switch or virtual desktop change or whatever and then slow down the periodic ones - so you don’t end up making 3000 screenshots of the same long gaming session. Or just constantly log the currently running processes as well to give the ai additional context.

There are so many cool opportunities with this. I hope somebody makes something cool and useful with it for Linux, that runs completely locally. You could then ask your computer “Hey, what video did I watch about godot a week ago, it had something with tilesets in it and I was coding alongside it”. Or "how many hours have I been working on that project for in the last 2 weeks?’

Has anyone tried the DE for in the recent years?

How was the experience?

@linux

Deckweiss, (edited )

I tried it once like 5 years ago (hope thats recent enough lol), when I heard that they have per monitor virtual desktops.

But I was missing so many KDE Plasma features that I loved, that I just had to go back. I don’t remember exactly which features though.

Deckweiss, (edited )

I think it’s even better on a single monitor when you have a lot of windows open.

It puts multiple windows into a group, so you only see one entry in the taskbar. When you click that, all the grouped windows get minimized/madimized.

I used it on the work laptop as well. And just grouped my different sub workflows, each of which had 2-3 windows.

That way I could switch the task without juggling multiple windows.

Deckweiss, (edited )

Per monitor virtual desktops is really cool though.

Windows 11 covers that workflow even better now with a feature called window grouping. I think I’ll need to write a kwin plugin or something for that…

sorry for the offtopic rant, but thats the major thing which comes to mind when somebody mentions enlightenment!

Deckweiss,

I did that from scratch a long while ago by creating a virtual x11 screen and vnc-ing to it from the tablet.

On some GPUs it works without a dummy plug.

There are some instructions out there, but I can’t search them (or my scripts) for you right now, sorry.

If you can’t manage to make it work, ping me again in a couple of days.

docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/…

docs.docker.com/engine/…/linux-postinstall/…

How do I follow those instructions without the commandline?

Deckweiss, (edited )

I don’t know how important the CPU is for those workloads tbh. but I feel like not as important so maybe you’re fine leaving it as it is.

I think AMD wanted to release a new GPU lineup (radeon 8000 series) sometime this year/early next year. Maybe just wait for that, sell your old card on the used market and buy a new one?

(And throw in 16G of RAM as you said)

Deckweiss,

No, my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X doesn’t have an igpu

Deckweiss,

I switched from artix to arch because of this

Homosexuality is documented in about 10% of species across the animal kingdom. The percentage of homosexuality in a given animal species varies a lot from 0% to above 30% of the population and factors like overpopulation increase it.

It’s as natural as it can get.

Linux mint or zorin OS for layman beginners who just want everything to work and focuses on stability , privacy , security ? Also what to do if I switched to mint and WiFi stopped working ?

Hey, so I just put this part up first because this is the one I urgently and importantly need answered even tho I wrote that hideous text block first (sorry English isn’t my first language )....

Deckweiss, (edited )

ZorinOS actually has an option where you pay them 50$ and get a special iso which is supposed to just work.

Deckweiss,

Thats not what I meant.

For 50$ you get a huge iso with “everything” preinstalled and they use the money to work on that and make sure it works on lots of devices and that all the software works together.

Deckweiss,

I am pretty sure it would run in the same wine setup, but nobody bothered to set it up as an install script yet, so you’d need to do some manual dirtywork.

Deckweiss, (edited )

There isn’t even a real photoshop competitor in the broader market, but you want to further split the hobbyist devs effort on linux as well?

I think instead it would be better to focus all the effort on a single solution that strives to cover all of photoshops features, with at least equal or better usability. Like has been done with Blender and godot for example. (And GIMP is sadly faaar from it still)

Deckweiss, (edited )

Just run photoshop on linux.

I don’t understand why nobody ever mentions that it just works.

github.com/LinSoftWin/Photoshop-CC2022-Linux

Deckweiss,

Krita is really good for digital drawing and painting, but photoshop does cover a lot of other things, which krita can not do. In that sense Krita is more of a Corel PaintShop Pro alternative. While GIMP is the best, but still very bad, alternative to photoshop.

Deckweiss, (edited )

First google search result:

Photoshop undoubtedly has the edge over Affinity Photo with more tools, features and functionality for performing a range of advanced editing tasks. These include AI-powered tools, more Layer controls, masking options, 3D image creation and video support to name but a few.

And this sentiment is echoed by a wide range of opinions further down the search results.

It may be a competitor in the technival sense, but not in the practical one, where a photoshop user would realistically be able to switch to it.

Deckweiss, (edited )

Is anything I quoted untrue?

Since I haven’t used Affinity Photo myself - I can only rely on the opinions from the internet. I have read a handful, inclusing reddit, but only quoted the one that conveyed my general findings in a concise way.

If Affinity lacks features that photoshop users commonly use, my argument holds, no matter where the info comes from.

Deckweiss, (edited )

The actual crazy thing is:

Imagine if somebody ran a Lemmy instance and just subscribed to every sublemmy and scraped all the data without asking. And nobody would even notice.

Reddit owns the content posted on their platform. But when you post on lemmy, everybody owns it, including every data company large and small.

But hey, at least we are feeling good about our social media platform choise, cause it’s federated and open source or whatever, right?

Deckweiss,

Yeah, lets all just use whatsapp /s

Deckweiss,

this is the saddest example

How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?

It seems like the more interested I get in Linux, the less appealing it becomes. The community seems to have no fucking clue what they’re talking about, because everyone is just constantly talking over each other and contradicting themselves! I have spent so much time reading about Linux and distros and such to prepare for my...

Deckweiss,

I’m slightly exaggerating

no, no, you’re pretty much on point

(and I have been on linux for over a decade)

Deckweiss,

Maybe linux-hardware.org but I don’t know tbh.
