Corr,

It’s on my list but I was not in the right head space when I started it. Currently loving animal well but I think tunic will work perfectly after I’m done with animal well!

Corr,

Quick tip to add to all the other advice: if Linux give you a warning, please read it carefully. Its not windows where you can safely blow through warnings. Otherwise, use it and enjoy!

Corr,

Just started animal well myself. Seems extremely solid so far. Excited to see what else the game has in store. Also has me excited to see what else big mode releases in the future if this is the bar of what they’ll publish.

Corr,

Could you share your keymap for the qaz boards? I’m curious to see what those look like

Corr, (edited )

So few f keys mapped :O

Have you looked into home row mods at all? I find them quite nice to use once you get used to them.

Edit: wtf is that second keymap LOL

Corr,

Thanks a bunch for sharing :)

Arizona accuses Amazon of being a monopoly and deceiving consumers with “dark patterns” (www.theverge.com)

Arizona’s Attorney General, Kris Mayes, filed two lawsuits against Amazon on Wednesday for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and maintaining monopoly status. The first lawsuit accuses the company of using dark patterns to keep users from canceling their Amazon Prime subscriptions, violating Arizona’s...

Corr,

I don’t mean to support amazon in this, but the article outlines them promoting their own products over others? Unless the buy box implies something other than “we would like you to buy this”, I dont really understand the issue with that particular point

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 )....

Corr,

Something to keep in mind is that Linux doesn’t have the same hand holding as windows. By all means make the switch but do not run sudo commands you don’t understand unless you’re comfortable debugging or reinstalling your system.

I learned that the hard way, though I was more than happy to just reinstall and try again. If Linux gives you any warning, please pay attention instead of ignoring like you would on windows.

I think mint is a great choice and I’ve installed it on my laptop recently and its been working very well. I’m no expert but hopefully if you have any questions I can help you out.

Corr,

I find storm light archive very difficult to pivot from. Mostly the prose used is gets so out of your face that you can focus on just consuming the story rather than the words.

I also found cradle by Will Wight sticking with me seeing as I read all 12 books in a month so I became quite familiar with the world and the characters

Corr,

I played hl2 a long time ago (at least 10 years). It was a really good game when I played it and I suspect it will stand the test of time for a long while still.
That said, its not Something I’m especially interested in revisiting personally

Corr,

It’s on my list. Finishing inscryption first. Is it good?

Corr,

That’s awesome to hear. I’ll have to check it out

Corr,

Welcome to Linux :)

I also started with tumbleweed in December, but it didn’t play nice with my desktop for some unknown reason so I switched to Fedora. Also didn’t make much sense to run a rolling release on my laptop so I just moved to Debian on the laptop and it’s been great.
I hope you enjoy your experience. Plenty of very helpful people here and forums to find answers to questions you might have later down the road (or tomorrow if you’re anything like me).

Corr,

Linux mint Debian edition. I just wanted to properly try cinnamon since I know GNOME isn’t for me and I really like KDE. Other options strike me personally as mostly just downgrades to KDE. It’s been very easy, absolutely nothing to complain about.
And the best part is I don’t update 2000 packages every time I use it lol (it mostly sat in a drawer collecting dust).

I don’t know that there’s really much difference use wise aside from the lack of updates. Everything largely looks and feels the same. Debian doesn’t have YaST obviously, but I never actually used my laptop enough to appreciate it so idk what I’m missing out on there.

No harm in trying stuff out, especially if you don’t use your laptop much like I do.

Corr,

I made the switch at the start of the year out of curiosity. I had worked for QNX as a student and though that I should have had a better understanding of the system, so I started using WSL for all my programming.

Then joined Lemmy in the summer and that increased my interest in trying it out full time. I was also getting increasingly disappointed with Windows pushing updates for Win11 and features like onedrive.

I’ve been super happy with it so far. I’ve gotten way more familiar with my OS and it’s been such a huge shift in perspective for me to be able to shape the way the OS works to my workflow rather than the inverse.

Simple fix on KDE wayland for windows to remember their last position (imgur.com)

Thanks to /u/azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works for mentioning KDE window rules. In KDE, we can add rules for windows so that they behave in specific ways. One rule that can be added is the position: remember rule, and it’s possible to make that rule apply to all windows by removing the match field. This way, closing and reopening...

Corr,

I was literally just looking this up 30 minutes ago. Incredible timing. Thanks for sharing

Corr,

Wondering if anyone has an alternative to cursr. That’s really the only thing stopping me from making the switch to Wayland full time. I use to make my 2 displays that are different resolutions play nicer

Corr,

I loved Ori 1 and 2. I hope you enjoy as much as I did :)

Corr,

I find that while the difficulty is there, its extremely forgiving in that you can create save points effectively at will so it doesn’t feel like too much of a chore most of the time

Corr,

I originally was looking for a hardshell case but stumbled on this while looking. I’m very pleased personally for my lily58. www.moderncoup.com/…/split-keyboard-carry-cases/

Corr,

That seemed like a lot of hurdles to have jumped through but I’m glad you stick with it and that you’re enjoying it.

I originally thought people were crazy for using 40% boards, but with home row mods I’m now using 34 keys and I would never go back to using a standing row stag 60% again lol.

Welcome to the ergo split club, and the months of tinkering with your layout until it works the best for you :)

Corr,

It took me about a week or so once I dropped down to 34. Sometimes I would lose a key and that made me realize it needed to be moved if I couldn’t easily remember it.

One thing I found super helpful was configuring autoshift for non-alpha characters. So now I can hold [ to get { for example, or 2 for @. It’s helped a lot in reducing the size of my keymap. And as I said, home row mods are incredible once you become accustomed to using them.

If you’re interested I can share my own keymap, which might help you come up with some ideas that help you.

Corr,

Yeah, exactly. It does slow you down just a smidge, but it removes the need to do finger gymnastics to hold shift + layer + tap (in this example) 2. Instead, it’s just layer + 2 (hold for like 0.1s). You can also configure it to not apply to alpha characters, which is what I have, so it won’t do anything unless it’s a symbol or a number.
If you want to hold a character (2), then you tap, release, then hold within a configurable time frame.

I also think you mentioned it, but combos are also really nice, as is the leader key.
Leader key you press it and then you input a series of keys (or just one) and it acts as a new key. I have a lot of macros stored under leader key activations, like wrapping a word in (), or writing “->” or " !=" . There’s a deep rabbit hole of customizing you can fall into here :P

Corr,

This looks sick! Thanks for sharing it :)
