RockyC, 3 months ago to linux in What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use?

@JoYo I do use tables in Joplin, but when they get large, dealing with them in markdown becomes unwieldy.

@JoYo @zerakith #Joplin is my second brain. I store damn near everything in there. The only thing I wish it did better was tables.

RockyC, 6 months ago to linux in What are people daily driving these days?

@0x2d @estebanlm I use Manjaro GNOME on all four of my laptops and my iMac. I have never had a random break on any of them.

@01adrianrdgz No.

RockyC, 7 months ago to linux in Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?

@jennraeross Agreed. I was seduced by the GNOME tiling extension and switched to Manjaro, but otherwise I’d have stayed on Mint.

RockyC, 7 months ago to linux in Which distro do you believe deserves more recognition?

@rodbiren #LinuxMint is fantastic. It’s boring, simple, and STABLE.

Yes, it’s still on X11, but I’m confident that the Mint team will make the move to Wayland eventually. #Cinnamon is perfectly serviceable and customizable to quite an extent.

Mint was on all of my computers until very recently when I switched to Manjaro GNOME, but not because of any failure of Mint.

RockyC, 7 months ago to linux in Yet another "recommend me a distro" post

@lemmyvore I run #Manjaro on six of my 8 computers. It, along with #LinuxMint have been the ONLY distros that I’ve had basically ZERO issues with over the past three years.

@TrickDacy @parpol I just wish that in 2023, Apple would relinquish their claw-like grip on mobile browsers on iOS. Give me ACTUAL Firefox, please.

RockyC, 7 months ago to linux in How do I add UEFI entries to boot any USB device?

@kugmo Now if we can get the laptop manufacturers on board by actually printing the model number in legible text on the laptop.

And 5pt grey on grey doesn’t count.

RockyC, 9 months ago to linux in Should i switch from systemd to another init system, What are the advantages of using another init system?

@BCsven @prettydarknwild This is a good video, and I’m not a developer.

@Tippon @SpaceCadet you can set your system clock to UTC to fix the problem. Here’s a registry fix to tell Windows to use UTC.

RockyC, 9 months ago to linux in What distro works well for a 2012 Macbook Pro?

@masinko Both #LinuxMint and #Manjaro run great on my Early 2013 MacBook Pro. The only issue I have is that it will occasionally wake from sleep and kill the battery. There is a published fix, but it makes it so you have to press the power button to wake from sleep, and sometimes waking is VERY slow for me.

#OpenSUSE didn’t come with #WiFi drivers, so 🤷🏾‍♂️
