torbjoern,

Pop Shell can actually be used on other distros. Here’s how: support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/

torbjoern,

Richtig, ich (Jahrgang 85) bin zuerst T3 gemustert worden und kurze Zeit später wurde im Rahmen einer Rechtsreform (weil aus sieben Tauglichkeitsstufen fünf wurden) aus der T3 eine T5.

torbjoern,

I can recommend flashing /e/OS to de-google the Fairphone. Running smoothly on my FP3 since 2021.

torbjoern,

they update OS and Webview extremly slow resulting in a very insecure OS.

I’ve recently got monthly updates. The last one from 2024-01-09 containing Android security patches until 12/2023.

torbjoern,

Yeah, well, I’m not gonna give up my potentially long-living (due to excellent repairability) for a Pixel crafted from rare-earth minerals of dubious origin, just because you’re it.

torbjoern,

You’re holding it wrong ™️

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

torbjoern,

This is purely anecdotal evidence, but on my 2013 ThinkPad X220 (dual-core i5, 12GB RAM) Plasma “feels” snappier and more responsive than GNOME.

torbjoern,

[…] but I don’t want a Windows clone, […]

KDE fortunately doesn’t have to be a Windows clone. There are several guides available on how to customize the UX / workflow to something completely different. I get what you mean, though, the default UX seems to be at least inspired by Windows.

torbjoern,

Das ist ja noch nicht mal der echte Norden 😜

torbjoern,

Except of course with Nvidia drivers, those are always shit.

Doesn’t that depend on the distro? In most cases they should be supplied as a (meta)package and only require installation through the package manager, kernel modules should be built automatically then.

While this is ofc only anecdotal evidence: I haven’t had problems with different models of Nvidia GPUs on different distributions (OpenSUSE, Debian, Pop!_OS, Elementary, EndeavourOS) in the last years. With a small workaround, even Wayland works flawlessly - the problem with missing GAMMA_LUT support and night light notwithstanding here.

torbjoern,

Also the fps on my Nvidia graphics card is really bad in games.

Are you sure you have the official Nvidia driver installed? Most Linux distros, if not explicitly configured otherwise*, use the open source “nouveau” driver by default. Since that driver doesn’t support some vital aspects - such as frequency scaling - of the hardware, the performance is bad.

*Some distros, like Pop! OS and EndeavourOS, offer a “Nvidia install”, meaning that the official driver will be installed and configured upon OS installation.

torbjoern,

Reads a bit like projection on the responder’s part, don’t worry.

torbjoern,

I’d say a benefit is that one can achieve the workflow of GNOME or macOS while having the configurability of KDE at one’s disposal.

torbjoern,

+1 for EndeavourOS. Just installed it on an older notebook (ThinkPad X220) and damn, was it a breeze to set up properly.

torbjoern,

Yeah, you’re probably right. Haven’t had any issues the last time I used Manjaro, though. But that’s only anecdotal evidence at best.

Kampf gegen die Inflation: Der Niedrigzins war eine Ausnahme mit gefährlichen Folgen (www.tagesspiegel.de) German

Niedrige Zinsen mögen eine Zeit lang gut gewesen sein. Und sie mögen weiterhin verlockend wirken. Aber die neue Normalität, die nun wieder von der alten, echten Normalität verdrängt wird, war eine Ausnahmesituation. Die Rückkehr zu einem höheren Zinsniveau ist auch eine Rückkehr zur Vernunft. Schon deswegen, weil...

torbjoern,

Was ist auch zu erwarten, wenn mensch sich in einem solchen Artikel die "Normalität" herbeireden bzw. -schreiben will?

torbjoern,

Northern Germany here. The German flag is usually only flown at government or other public buildings or, as another commenter said, when there's a special occasion such as an international football match.

Something a bit more common up here seems to be flying the state flag (blue, white and red), which can be seen in private gardens or on some residential buildings.

torbjoern,

And the good news is: Pop Shell can be installed on other GNOME based desktops. I'm currently rockin' it on Manjaro GNOME.

torbjoern,

No lurking? Okay, hi everybody. 👋😄

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"

Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.

From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."

It's enshitification in action.

torbjoern,

Well, PWAs have access to a lot of hardware APIs (if allowed) and there's WebPush.
