Give me your most controversial Linux takes that nobody wants to admit are actually true.

I'll start, Photoshop isn't actually a big deal for most people and it being missing is easier to complain about than fixing the real issues on the desktop

@BrodieOnLinux Nobody actually likes Gnome, they're just too lazy to configure KDE.

@BrodieOnLinux Oh, here's another:

Unixporn is just a collection of people who really, really, wish they were using MacOS.

@BrodieOnLinux @joshix And I was mostly talking about the folks who post their screenies that look like replicas of MacOS. Like this one.

I'm really very disappointed in MusicBrainz Picard. I was told it was going to save my music collection and me a bunch of time. But out of 50k tracks, it found 5 tracks that needed to be corrected. 5.

Not so magical.

@Hitesh1 My problem ended up being flatpak permissions.

@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@Hitesh1 nah, I got it fixed. Flatseal to the rescue

@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

I think the lack of a good screenshot utility is what's going to get me to leave behind. The default one is not great, and none of the others that work on Wayland work for me on Gnome. Get the same errors with grim/slurp and flameshot.

@JLW_the_Jobber it works fine. Just not enough features

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@Suavevillain yes too basic.

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@10leej too basic.

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@peppe gimp doesn't capture images, does it?

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@10leej I like flameshot. But can't get it to work

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@10leej annotations, the ability to save as, things like that

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode Yeah, I'm more likely to just go somewhere where flameshot works.

Anyone know if there's a good alternative for Flameshot that works well with Wayland?

@kroyio This is what I get

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@kroyio Still doesn't work.

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@kroyio

no to all three things. I don't have that exported anywhere, I don't get any output, and nope on the Arch thing

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode @kroyio Yeah still doesn't work for me

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode @kroyio still no dice, didn't work. Same errors

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode @kroyio There's a Spectacle flatpak? Is it on flathub?

thelinuxcast,
@thelinuxcast@fosstodon.org avatar

@ProfessorCode ksnip didn't work for me at all. The entire screen went black

@felimwhiteley Hey,

I think I remember you talking about a self hosted podcast catcher thing. If I'm not totally making that up in my head, can you share the name of it?

@felimwhiteley thanks! Love the pod.
