Please recommend me some blogs about Linux or FOSS or similar that you follow through RSS.

Hi. I have a category Little Tech Blogs in my rss reader where I put those cool niche blogs mostly about Linux, FOSS, programming, etc… Many of them I found by articles linked in this community, so I was wondering if you guys know about more blogs like that. By little I mean it’s run by one person or a small group of people,...

My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

Ponyo (2008) - both by Studio Ghibli, they made more great movies but not all are wholesome

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

How to train your dragon (2010)

Can only think of animated movies, not sure if they are what you are looking for, will add more when something else comes to mind.

Image viewer that remembers last visited image (Linux)

I’m looking for a FOSS image viewer on Linux that remembers the last visited image or lets me set a bookmark of some sort. Pix for example has the preference “Go to last visited location” - but that is just the folder, not the image itself. But I have folders with lots and lots of images that I work through day by day and...

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Should work, I’m still connecting to the countries I have downloaded the config file for without any problems.

I’m still playing Deep Rock Galactic and finally got my party hat this week. Rock and Stone!

I also made a new world in Terraria with a content mod I like so far - turns out, I’m not a big fan of Calamity and those other big mods.

If you need something powerful (but maybe not very easy to use at first) GIMP also works great for that.

Kudos to the mod for making this an active and engaging community!

Great and very informative read, also good advice for people who want to contribute but aren’t able to write code.

The blog post is about KDE of course, but I think the idea isn’t limited to that project. There was this post on Lemmy not so long ago where people were discussing other ways of contributing or how people help with open source projects. And there were quite a few who said they can’t code but would like to help with other things (apart from donating money).

Any news on Cinnamon DE?

With all the news surrounding KDE Plasma 6, I’m wondering if there has been any interesting news about the Cinnamon DE. This is my preferred DE and what I’m currently using on Arch. Last we heard, Cinnamon moved to Version 6 on Linux Mint, and that version comes with an experimental Wayland setup. Since then, I haven’t...

In January I read this post on the Linux Mint forums saying: “Wayland isn’t expected to replace Xorg as default any time soon, not in 21.3, not in 22.x, but we want to be ready all the same.”

A blog post in January stated that Linux Mint 22’s “Cinnamon edition will include a new Nemo Actions Organizer”. But that’s all I know sadly.

[Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.

I got the T460 refurbished and I really didn’t want to run Windows 10 on it. I last used Linux for any real length of time a good 20 years ago, so I’m pretty inexperienced with it at this point and I had to figure out how to install it myself....

Wow what a ride. Congrats on making it work, I’m not sure if I wouldn’t have given up at some point. Great job!

About kissing M$'s ass, don’t get me started on updating the BIOS on a HP Laptop, they require you to do that in Windows cause it’s the only way to get their downloader to run. So it’s not only Lenovo’s Laptops that don’t play nice with Linux.

It was irony. The tool is even more clear on that with providing you a link you should NOT use because it’s copyrighted (!!!).

Terraria. It has RPG elements and is simply fantastic. Often available at a discount on Steam which I only recommend due to the extensive content available via the Workshop.

Not familiar with that device, but terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Terraria_Wiki has all the available versions listed.

Linux for desktop market share surpasses 4% for the first time, says Statcounter (www.neowin.net)

Statcounter, a website that tracks the market share of web browsers, operating systems, and search engines, is reporting that Linux on the desktop has over 4% market share for the very first time (Statcounter records ChromeOS as a separate operating system despite being based on Linux). Statcounter doesn’t provide any...

People often forget that they also often have to tinker with making games work in Windows, because they are more familiar with the OS and get it done faster. Also I think you’d be surprised how many games just run without any tinkering at all nowadays. But then there are some that don’t run at all, mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’. That’s no real loss for me, I wouldn’t install something like that on a Windows machine either.

veloren.net - I couldn’t find system requirements but maybe that will help to run it.

libregamewiki.org/Main_Page

Maybe some older games that don’t require downloads: archive.org/details/internetarcade

Wow that’s a streak of bad luck and also very frightening. I’m sorry you’re going through all this and I really hope things will improve soon. I’m glad you’re posting here, even though we’re all strangers, we can still support each other. And it shows that even though you are severly depressed (which is more than understandable), you are still looking for a way to get some comfort. Keep reaching out, keep talking, don’t shut yourself out (I don’t have to tell you that, you are doing it already, just trying to encourage you). Reading all this, I think of you as a very strong person, and even if that might sound hollow, you got this. You can go through this and look back to it at some point thinking “wow, I did all this. I’m amazing.” I’m sending some positive thoughts your way. I wish you all the best.

I’m using Linux Mint with an Nvdia card and it works great. But I don’t have a completely new PC so I don’t need the latest of the latest stuff. Taking your hardware into account is always a good idea.

My advice: don’t switch too fast, maybe keep dual boot at first and give yourself time to learn. Try distros with a live USB stick on your system to see if it works. For the look and feel consult distrosea.com and play around. Linux can be fun and it’s serving gamers very well now (for the most part - there are games that won’t run mostly due to invasive rootkit ‘anti-cheats’).
