Playing with WinApps on Fedora Podman.
What's WinApps? "Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration."

TIL: In #Linux, when you "switch user" (in Wayland or X11), the second user opens up a separate session which you can directly switch to using the Ctrl-Alt-F-keys without re-authenticating, as long as the user-specific sessions aren't locked.
In Debian 13 #GNOME, the first user session is Ct…

Dlaczego kdenlive wygląda tak źle na GNOME 🫠
Znaczy się wiem dlaczego ale czy da się to jakoś ogarnąć?

The libxml2 maintainer is basically shrugging his shoulders and saying "deal with your own fucking security issues; libxml was never meant to be used in your projects" to google and the rest of the giant corporations that are using his labor without contributing back. I'm totally on board with that.

I love #GNOME! Deal with it!

Gnome hat eine Option „Mauszeiger finden“: wenn ich die Ctrl-Taste drücke, leuchtet um den Mauszeiger eine Animation blauer Kreise auf.
Ich vergesse immer, daß es sie gibt, wenn ich wirklich mal nicht weiß, wo der Mauszeiger gerade ist, wackel ich wild mit der Maus hin und her.
Dafür werde ich bei intensiver Emacs-Nutzung von gefälliger Blubberblasen-Animation begleitet.

»Umbruch am Linux-Desktop – Nach nur ein paar Jahrzehnten wird es ernst mit dem Ende von X11:
Sowohl das GNOME-Projekt als auch die entsprechenden Versionen von Fedora und Ubuntu streichen mit ihren kommenden Versionen die Unterstützung für den alten Grafikserver. Wayland übernimmt«
Hui… nun ist es so zu sagen offiziell nach Jahrzehnten deren Doppelleben der Linux Desktops.

I've been using Pika Backup with a google drive destination for at least a year and it's always been relatively smooth.
For the last three days, though, it's been complaining the destination is unresponsive (although I can browse it happily from commandline etc).
Some new package released three days ago that might interfere?
Update: looks like there was a flatpak-runtime org.gnome.Platform on the 17th.
Ideas anybody?

Ich bin jetzt auch ein Freund von #GNOME und unterstütze mit einem monatlichen Betrag.
Keep up the good work! @…

Hoping some gnome-based #Emacs folks may have guesses: when it launches, I see the usual Emacs text menu at the top of each frame, but /somewhere/ in a long (and messy .emacs) something is 'different' from KDE and I get useless Win/Mac menu-ish things instead. Any guesses where this feature gets turned off?

Too bad that you can't test the theme feature of #GNOME on a live distro since setting up "gnome-shell-extensions" requires a reboot to enable it.
Edit: it wasn't the "gnome-shell-extensions", reboot was required for enabling "User Themes" (via Extensions).
However, a logout/login was OK as well and it did work on my Debian live distro again (logout do…

No GNOME and no KDE so no Signal Desktop for me...
It would otherwise store its password in the plain, i.e., drop encryption entirely, unless you override it to use a password store. I'm on Sway. No idea what I could do.

I have been looking for a screenshot of these icons I drew for gnome as placeholders, but they also encouraged Tuomas Kuosmanen to jump in and fix it, and finally found a copy online!
The “sl” stood for “symbolic link” and “sock” for socket - I used these hand drawn icons for each mime type:

I'm trying PopOS on a second PC and there's some things I love and, all the things I hate about it have to do mainly with GNOME.
How come the terminal doesn't have autocomplete?
Why can't I navigate to a smb address by putting it on the file manager?

Used a Steamdeck, without having a Steamdeck 😜
Spend some time today updating and running BlendOS, an immutable Arch distro.
You start out with Gnome, but of course I made my own system.yaml file, running KDE 6.4.3 into which you swap by rebooting.
Very nice, rock solid (just like the Steamdeck) and Arch btw 😎

And <sigh/> no, the #debian13trixie upgrade saga isn't (yet) complete. The Gnome file manager -- still known to #debian as 'nautillus', for historical reasons -- was missing on my laptop.

After using #xfce for over 20 years, I've played around with #GNOME for two hours.
I have to say, I'm tempted to switch to GNOME for my next computer setup ... 🤔

headmate implies the existence of head gnome, head budgie, head cinnamon, head kylin, head studio, head unity,

Trying out #tuba app on arch - seems to work fine on gnome.

I built XLibre last night, and can confirm that it builds, which is a start. Now let's just hope that any desktop environment worth a shit doesn't follow GNOME & DeadRat's lead and strip all X11 compatibility!

Are you using #GNOME desktop manager and do you know a method on how to switch to windows according to their names (sub-string search) like https://karl-voit.at/2022/10/28/window-teleporting/…

Yep, I’m rolling with Debian and demolishing pizza like a pro on my birthday, August 22. Tech and toppings, the perfect combo!

all Linux desktop environments fit one of 4 types
1. start menu in bottom left corner
(looks like windows 7)
(cinnamon and plasma)
2. dock at bottom center
(looks like Mac and Windows 11)
3. tablet-y
(gnome)
4. tiling window managers

Working through slowly setting up my laptop with NixOS, I'm going GNOME Wayland cuz I know my laptop is old enough to not have too many problems with it and apparently PiP on Firefox is just broken, like fully broken, has been for up to 4 years.

@… Na jakimś lekkim desktopie będzie ok, przy małym swapie do "testowania". Gnome czy KDE zajmą ponad pół z tego, to już nie wiele zostanie na resztę.

Osobiście jak sobie robię wirtualki do testowania dystrybucji (nigdy nie wiadomo czy coś ciekawszego nie powstało) to wrzucam 20gb na OS 2gb na swap i reszta na home wg. potrzeby …
