Strit

As a Dane, this has been frightening for years. I hope our government thinks of open source solutions, instead of just a european company over a US one.

Sure, but presenting DE choice inside the install will confuse the mythical new user.

But I agree with you. A lot of download bandwidth and hosting storage could be saved by doing what Cachy/Endeavour ISO’s are doing.

Ho much does the screenshot you posted say, that the screenshots on the Mint download page does not? Other than giving you more options, which can overwhelm new people.

Some distro’s really like doing their curated live environment for each environment, so you can test it out before actually installing it.

Sounds like you want something like X11 forwarding. I have never used it, but I believe it is proper remote desktop, not sharing.

Never heard of ArchCraft before. No interest in it now.

I haven’t tried ElementaryOS in years. It was always too opinionated for me.

But glad they are still releasing updated ISO’s.

Curseforge even have Linux clients (although still marked as alpha): https://www.curseforge.com/download/app#download-options

I ran Linux at work up until recently where I found out that they are in the process of changing the network setup, so only systems with a valid certificate can access the network. And they have no plan to support Linux in that setup. So I was kind of forced to switch back to Windows, because my work requires that I can access the local network.

Other than that, I used Linux in a Microsoft Entra/Intune environment with Edge, Teams and Office 365 for a couple of years.

This means that drivers written in Rust will have just a good a chance to be accepted as drivers written in C?

I usually create ~/git/{github,gitlab,codeberg,AUR,etc} where I clone the git stuff I need.

The rest is usually handled by my nextcloud that creates the ~/Nextcloud folder.

I sometimes use LLM’s to help me troubleshoot. I usually don’t ask for solutions, but rather “what is wrong here?” type stuff.

has often saved me hours of troubleshooting, but it is occasionally wrong and sees flaws where there is none.

Joke answer: get the IINA devs to release a Linux build.

More seriously: MPV is pretty close and might even be able to be configured to what you want. But seriously though. Sounds like you need/want exactly this UI, so you should ask the IINA devs to make a Linux build.

Maybe the wiki has some useful information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console#Fonts

i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch

That’s because in MacOS it’s a terminal emulator, a GUI application with a CLI inside.

In Arch, if you didn’t install a desktop environment, the terminal is the raw TTY, not an emulator, so it does not have reszing/zoom options.

But as @anon5621@lemmy.ml mentioned, you can set the font of the TTY to a bigger font using the setfont command.

Good point. Yes. Small breakage means it’s easier to fix. Although, the years I’ve run my rolling release system, I’ve had it break maybe one of two times. Easily fixed. Both of those was because there was a change that needed a manual intervention, which I did not read about until after, so those were my own fault.

I use a rolling release for mainly 3 reasons.

1. Faster access to new (shiny) software/applications. Flatpak and the like could solve this for LTS distros.
2. Security updates come faster and smoother.
3. Less chance of an update breaking things. Lots of small and frequent updates, instead of rare and large update packs/stacks.

I would love to do something like this, also for a mirror backlight, but my bathroom only has 1 outlet, placed in a cubbard above the sink. I can’t get anything from there, unless I want wires all over my bathroom walls and some long ones at that.

Very Nice and very clean interface!

Good job!

I’ve read that Qnap is often using ZFS as the storage filesystem. If your bazzite does not have the tools installed to work with that, then it will probably show as unallocated or unknown.
