#popos is okay, but i use #kde too much. i need that bleeding edge kde update. i think i'm going to throw #kubuntu on this machine here. it's got decent support for the chipset in the orpy8 i got from @copypaste
Hi, I'm John (He/They) a 29 year old #Asexual#Gay man, this is a weird intersection to exist at, from Kent, UK.
I'm currently a carer for my mum who has brain cancer.
I am a #Linux user, current distro is #Kubuntu.
I am a #Dog person though i don't currently have one.
I'm #NeuroDivergent with #Anxiety, #Depression and suspected #ADHD (under investigation).
I feel like I was literally just saying how I don't have any problems with my nVidia GPU on Kubuntu; this morning, FFXIV won't run on the GPU. I feel like I brought this on myself.
#foss people out there, what #linux distro do you use and why? Please note, this is not a distro bashing conversation. Rather, it's curiosity about other opinions and learning.
I've used #ubuntu#kubuntu or #kdeneon as daily driver for the past 14 years. Whilst I like neon, it doesn't play very nicely with Nvidia. Yes, I'm fully aware you can get it to work, but it's a pain in the ass and regularly breaks shortly after getting things somewhat working. At least that's my experience.
About ten years ago, I had a brief flirtation with #opensuse and the relationship ended badly. I still have a little trauma from that. I'm pretty sure it was all my fault, but never could figure out what I did wrong.
I've been very unimpressed with the direction that Canonical is taking and wanted to try something new. I tried an Arch based distro last autumn and really found the community too caustic to new people joining. Not to mention, I saw a lot fascist views inserted into comments and replies to other users. That was dropped quickly.
After New Year's, I decided to get crazy and installed #fedora. 😅 I know, I know, not really a big leap into the unknown, but I've never tried it before. I've been using it for almost 6 months now and it's ok. I don't like it and I don't dislike it. My biggest issue is that Xorg seems broken (and I cannot figure out why) and I can only use Wayland to login. Wayland is just not quite there for my workflow.
Oh, I should also mention. I'm one of those #kdeplasma nut cases.
Switched my Firefox from a Snap to a regular apt package; nice to have it integrate properly with 1Password. I assume it'll also work properly when it gets updated... the Snap package would leave the previous version pinned in my task bar, which would come up without my profile... spooked me a little the first time it happened. It also starts up much faster now.
As a text-first boomer I completely agree screenshots and videos are no substitute for written documentation. The mileage of younger generations may vary.
"When you throw a screenshot out into Notion (Wiki, Confluence, et cetera), you’re effectively defining a word WITH the word."
I'm trying to install #Proton Bridge on a fresh #Kubuntu install, and keep running into this problem. Any hints out there?
EDIT 1: my package manager can't find 'libsecret' or 'secret-service'. Installing 'pass' does nothing. And kwallet isn't supported, which is ridiculous.
EDIT 2: Apparently installing gnome-keyring solves this. @protonmail: Bridge still needs serious work on #Linux...)
@moleculehttps://quey.la/@a ya he usado varias distribuciones #Linux desde hace más de una década y cuando me pide algún reinicio han sido lo bastante consideradas como para indicarme que se hace necesario reiniciar, pero no me bloquea nada. #knopix#ubuntu#linuxmint#kubuntu
Eso sí: da un gustazo tremendo emplear el software libre en el día a día. Ya no me acuerdo de aquella época en la que tenía que emplear instaladores y números de serie...
And apparently Windows 11 makes it even more frustrating to dual-boot with #Linux.
In my experience anyway, both #Fedora and #Kubuntu couldn't see my PC's Wifi module until I booted into Windows 11, enabled Hibernation, and then disabled Fast Startup.
