Any advice for a long-time Linux user, first-time Linux *desktop* user?

I’m a regular user of Linux systems but apart from a couple of test Ubuntu installs many years ago they’ve always been containers or VMs with no DE which I can throw away when I break them. The Steam Deck showcasing how far Wine/Proton has come combined with Windows being Windows has given me the push; I’ve made a Mint...

governorkeagan,

Than you for such detailed response! I find it incredibly useful to pickup on extra nuggets of information even if the question was not directly applicable to me.

I was never able to fully get into Logseq, might give it another try at some point.

governorkeagan,

Not necessarily unheard of but Floorp has been pretty great for work. I think all of the other applications I use are well known within their respective niche (e.g JOSM)

governorkeagan,

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to use vanilla Firefox instead but also have a web panel like Floorp. Being able to open and close a webpage on the side like that is pretty handy. Vivaldi has the same feature but I don’t want to use that.

governorkeagan,

I have not, I’m using Standard Notes at the moment. I’ll have a look at QOwnNotes though, thanks for the recommendation

governorkeagan,

You should try Organic Maps.

governorkeagan,

My thought exactly

governorkeagan,

For the most part, that works fine. It’s more of a convenience feature since I can quite easily switch between different sites I have saved in the panel.

governorkeagan,

I agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. My biggest reason for not using Vivaldi is due to it being based on chromium. I’m trying to do my best to reduce the market share of chromium based browsers

governorkeagan,

tuptime: I’ve been looking for something like this

governorkeagan,

I used Obsidian extensively at a previous job. The linking of notes was super helpful! I don’t think it’ll work as well for my needs at the moment (at work) but I’ll give it a go

governorkeagan,

Mainly data entry. I’m writing bullet form (pro for Logseq) justifications that the QA uses to understand my ratings (the data entry aspect). I will occasionally work on the same task so I open up the original note and just add to it.

I know that I could use Logseq to link - [[link]] - the different task projects together (maybe). Something like Project -> individual task.

My notes look like this currently:


<span style="color:#323232;">A: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- some thoughts
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">B: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- more thoughts
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">C: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- this is bad
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">D: 
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">- this is good
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

I would then copy and paste all of that into a text box on our system (per task) where the QA can use that to understand my ratings of the task. My role title is Advanced AI Data Trainer, it sounds more impressive than it is. It’s glorified data entry.

governorkeagan,

Have you tried LocalSend? It’s worked great for sending stuff to and from my phone and PC

governorkeagan,

That looks really good!

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

governorkeagan,

Minecraft runs great for me as well.

Prism Launcher seems to be well support on Linux and Minecraft runs fine on Linux (for myself and others) it could be that they’re trying to run a cracked version. Or that and a combination of poor hardware specs for what they’d like to do.

governorkeagan,

One of us, one of us!

Jokes aside, it’s always nice reading stories like this. Even if I’m still a noob myself.

governorkeagan,

I second EndeavourOS. Installation is dead simple and it’s given me no issues (that weren’t caused by me tinkering) over the last few months.

governorkeagan,

Couldn’t agree more. Been using Linux daily since October last year.

governorkeagan,

That’s embarrasing. Thanks for letting me know!

governorkeagan,

Gnome on laptops (gestures just work really well!) and KDE on desktop. Although I don’t use half of the customisation features of KDE

governorkeagan, (edited )

I saw an extension the other day that let you choose which mapping service you want to use when clicking a link to a map. You could click on a Google Map link but have it open in OpenStreetMap. If I find it again I’ll update here

Edit: Found it, MapSwap
