@bragefuglseth @fkinoshita

That looks awesome! I was wondering, what software do you use/reccommend for doing these kinds of mockups? Like is there a special tool for it I'm not aware of?

As community, process, and quality problems are discussed due to critical toots from @marcan a quick reminder:

Many problems currently discussed are well known for years; below screenshot from the slide deck mentioned at the start of https://lwn.net/Articles/799134/ shows that.

Things didn't improve much since then. The main reason for that IMHO is not "resistance to change among the elders" – it's lack of funding for people that work out and establish better workflows.

Name 5 things about #Linux you love the most. (Boost please)

For me:

  1. Customizability
  2. I get to choose when to update
  3. Privacy
  4. The community
  5. Window Managers.
krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@thelinuxcast Well here goes then:

  1. It's much more lightweight, and i can use the FULL performance of my PC for what I want it to be used for.
  2. It's pretty darn solid. The only time I've had issues is because (a) of proprietary software/hardware/drivers or (b) i messed something up.
  3. I can choose to use it how I want (not how some corpo decides i should)
  4. I can rest assured the only things running on my system are doing good things
  5. I can fuck around with it :blobcatsmug:

If I could make a request to all #developers, I think I would just ask them to stop putting dotfiles in /home.

@CleoMenezesJr Like seriously though, how hard is it to put it in ~/.config/ at least?? or even go the extra mile and check where my xdg config dir is. We have specs for this people. Use them.

Does anyone have a straightforward and reliable (free) email provider that provides SMTP support?

@osic Hmm, I guess I'll just have to try gmail again then.

I tried it before but maybe i forgot something..

I'm thinking about getting some dedicated hardware to be a home server instead of just using an old laptop (that used to be my distro-experimentation laptop—a role I'd love it to resume). Any suggestions? I'm currently thinking I'll get a refurbished ThinkCenter.

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@benjaminhollon I have a refurbished ThinkCenter as my homelab, I run a minecraft server on it and it does alright-- Not sure how efficient it is tho if power is a concern.

@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

So here's a puzzle for yall:
Since i dropped my #PinephonePro on the sidewalk 2 days ago audio hasn't been working.
First, i thought it might be a hardware issue with the jack (as i had headphones in at the time and they got pulled out of the phone as it fell) but the internal speaker and earpeice arent working either.
In pavucontrol it looks like audio should be coming out, but none does.

If anyone has any ideas, please lmk!

(The phone dropped onto the top half of the screen if that matters)

krafter, to GNOME
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

So, I repaired my Macbook Pro 2012 (mbp 9,2) and I'm unsure what to put on it (It'll be my daily driver for school).

I really like #GNOME, but fear it will be too resource-intensive and kinda laggy on the 4gb of ram the laptop has. I want to stick with #Fedora if possible aswell. I looked into cutefish, but it seems unmantained and not realistically available for fedora (couldnt get the copr to work).
Do i use GNOME anyways? Does anyone have good tips on how to make it more lightweight? #Linux

krafter,
@krafter@fosstodon.org avatar

@governa Thanks for the input, would you mind sharing what WiFi drivers you're using?
I tried installing broadcom-wl from rpm fusion nonfree like i used previously, but it doesnt seem to work :/

@boilingsteam I gues i never really looked into it, but as far as i've heard you can't do pc games in VR on linux. Has that changed?
