I keep tossing the idea of joining a themed Maso-server (ex: ubuntu.social), but then I think of all the stuff I am into and just can't decide to lock into one..
This week, in our #Linux and #OpenSource News video, we have more work on HDR support, #Ubuntu improving their PPA system, and a security flaw in #KeePass, the open source password manager, plus #cinnamon being adopted by more distros, and a new XFCE spin.
Spurred by the move to non-proprietary software I swapped out my Windows 11 for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and now 3 out of the 4 games I regularly play don't work well enough to play. I haven't checked games I only play occasionally, but I expect issues there too......
An apt-cacher-ng host or some other APT proxy/mirror that sits on your corporate network and whose logs are chomped by a clever analyzer that feeds the information of which packages/versions have been downloaded by which clients into a database ... that has to have been invented in the last 20 years. Someone got a pointer for me?
I decided to check if #Linux gaming distros gave you an edge in terms of performance, compared to something #Ubuntu based, and of a specific gaming distro would perform better than another.
Since I had a @tuxedocomputers mini ITX desktop on hand to review, I decided to combine the two, so I checked whether gaming distros are better for gaming, with 4 game benchmarks I ran on the Atlas S:
Si bien me falta hardware para jugarlo en una buena calidad, hasta ahora puedo decir que es un juego muy bonito, lleno de detalles y estéticamente hermoso.
Looking for recommendations on beginner-friendly #Linux distributions.
I don't need any novice help, this is for a friend who wants to move away from Windows.
They need the usual productivity software, web browser, mail, Word, Excel, etc. which will probably be easy to replace. I advised them to start working with #LibreOffice now, to see if they feel comfortable with it. They also need some more exotic software, but I'm confident it will work fine with Wine. We'll test that out soon.
They're also very privacy-sensitive, so I'm currently discounting #Ubuntu.
I've been using #Ubuntu on my main desktop computers since Warty Warthog, and it's mostly been a perfectly fine experience. Some releases were definitely better than others. Like other users I've not always been happy with the choices made and directions taken by #Canonical.
The OS upgrade was an opportunity for #Ubuntu to once more saddle me down with a #snap install of #Firefox, removing my hand-installed apt version.
And I get all the funny little horrors back. Just now after a sudden Firefox crash, I now have the hand mouse pointer on any URL link.. that is completely BS and unworkable.
I have a Dell laptop, running Ubuntu 22.04, with the following buttons around the trackpad. The trackpad works, and the three above it work (left, middle and right click as you'd expect).
I want the ones BELOW the trackpad (4 and 5) to be left and right click. Currently for some reason the left one is mapped to middle-click. How can I remap it? The other one does nothing at all.
xinput doesn't even know those buttons exists, and tells me I'm running xinput against an Xwayland server.
#help#Ubuntu souci.
Qu'ai-je fait ? Rien, mais la connexion filaire est à <10Mb/s.
Et dans la config réseau j'ai ça. Même résultat avec négociation de lien à automatique.
Et maintenant, je n'ai même plus l'icone filaire, le câble n'est plus détecté semble-t-il. Suite à quelle manip, je ne saurais dire. J'ai juste modifié ces panneaux de config. Que faire, Ô Mastodon ?
I stand by my opinion that Linux is the best for academic work, and I'm specifically talking about humanities here, not the usual suspects (like computer science or maths).
It's just so quiet and good for productivity, no ads, no forced apps, it's free, and you can customise it to your heart's content to create the workflow that best suits you.
Well, this is a rather hilarious trademark violation in a box. "Wubuntu" - a derivative of #Ubuntu that looks uncannily like Microsoft Windows 11! :D https://wubuntu.org/
Ich habe zum Testen #Ubuntu installiert.
Auf dem #Desktop wollte ich #Verknüpfungen anlegen; wozu soll er denn sonst gut sein 😉
Das geht aber so einfach nicht. Im Internet gesucht und über Anleitungen gestoßen, die behaupten, dass das doch ganz einfach ist: “Schritt 1, 2, 3 … 10, und schon geht es” 🙄
Es geht allerdings auch, indem man über die #Shell den Default #Dateimanager von Nautilus auf Nemo ändert – muss man aber wissen!
Und da wundern sich viele, warum #Linux nicht mehr genutzt wird 🤔
New install - Help, 3 out of my 4 regularly played games aren't working!
