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.

Just run photoshop on linux.

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

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)

How do I follow those instructions without the commandline?

Deckweiss,

github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/1029

this is the saddest example

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.

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?’

Deckweiss, (edited )

It would not work for certain cases, you’re right, like stuff with many differnelty names documents or doing research in the browser.

But for what I had in mind - I’ve checked and on my setup the projects name is in the apps window decoration, in the cli when I do the commits, in the directory view sidebar, in the OS taskbar etc.

It should be pretty straight forward to figure out from a screenshot, even when the app is not in the foreground.

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,

You can still do it as a first step.

Since the manu is usually only accessed extremely rarely, it is fine having a slightly more inconvenient way to reach it.

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, (edited )

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.

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)

collaborative map software?

Avenza seems to be the go-to app. It works pretty well and all, but I’m wanting to know if there’s any software available that can allow a team of people to simultaneously access and make edits/notes to a geo-referenced map. It also need to have kind of the same base functionality of being able to show your current location...

Deckweiss, (edited )

Had to look it up and WTF. I didn’t think any military would want to run anything on an android …

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,

Yeah, lets all just use whatsapp /s
