Ubuntu.

I jumped from Ubuntu to Fedora to Netrunner to Arch to Gentoo to Mint then back to Ubuntu.

Did I regret it? Nah, I learned alot with my adventure but these days I just prefer the common distro denominator. Although to be fair my Ubuntu isn’t exactly a vanilla Ubuntu as I did add some changes I see fit.

It’s a default wallpaper on KDE. The name is Safe Landing but to save you the hassle, here you go

I installed OnzeMenu and EventCalendar via the settings > add widgets. The Windows 11 theme and Icon on Settings > appearance.

If you right click the KDE menu icon from the taskbar, there is an option show alternatives, pick OnzeMenu from that. Same case goes to the time/date.

This is a 10 minute effort but I think you can push this even further to make it look like Windows 11 on KDE

I wouldn’t say it breaks everything. Franky it fixes / handles better issues that are common usecases today that was not the case during the time X11 was still the norm / actively maintained such as:

• Multiple monitor support with varied refresh rates
• Hybrid GPU setup (including being able to use your motherboard’s hdmi socket and your dedicated gpu hdmi at the same time)
• Display scaling
• Better isolation of applications (to the deterrence of existing linux applications)

Of course granted its a new protocol, it doesn’t support all the usecases that X11 was designed for due to variety or reasons (including controversial decisions)

Mind you, Wayland isn’t perfect either. For example, I found out that despite Wayland having better Hybrid GPU setup support out of the box, there are applications that ended up having broken multi-gpu support (where the application in question can choose which gpu it would utilize for its processing) where it works fine X11.

With the state of the hardware we are having, it is understandable why distros have been focused on pushing Wayland as the default, although honestly, it would be wise for these distros to not completely phase out x11 because currently, Wayland isn’t perfect.

omg the reddit atheists, r/jailbait drama, spez editing user’s post. brings back memories.

These days it’s Baldurs Gate 3 but before that, it’s Grimdawn for ARPG itch or Stardew valley if I just want to turn a game on and afk alot. (Sometimes that’s Grimdawn too)

Same! it is like my 7th playthrough already, going for the good dark urged route.

You know what’s great about Microsoft Teams compared to other chat apps? It’s super on point with updating your colleague’s status. There’ve been times I thought my colleague was MIA for hours, but turns out, it was just a glitch. A quick restart with the app and boom, we’re back in sync! 🤪

Was originally an Opera user (before they switched away from Presto), then switched to Firefox afterwards.

Firefox was my pick because it was good enough and extremely customizable.

All my Reddit time was diverted to here, lol

Base on my experience, lower end phones (especially ones that does not have the latest android versions) struggles with Firefox.

They have these sorts of issues such as webpages refreshing when switching tabs or applications and etc.

As for me, I am in the same boat as you. No issues and pretty snappy imo.

Nope but I aint lying that there are communities that are not here that I do miss (since they never left Reddit).

I use Gnome document viewer on Gnome and Okular when on KDE when viewing PDFs.

For editing PDFs, always was used to PDF Studio. I heard LibreOffice Draw is decent but never bothered trying it as I am happy with my current workflow… for now.

PS: PDF Studio is a one time purchase

Linux is great for some stuff, but unless there’s massive upgrades to where you can just hit “install” and something installs and works without fucking around in terminal

Wait what!? I just mark file as executable, run as program, and click nex then install.

Also on a more serious note, how easy is it to find apps on the software store too (yes, because most linux distros offer a software store now)

Even if it isn’t, this is going to be one, I’ll put this as my “Windows is better than Linux copypasta”

Meanwhile at Google… Problem: People are flocking away from Chrome Solution: Implement webpage DRM

Note: This draft is a rought and long and I have a lot of things to say about this matter, also I haven’t sleep yet, so pardon if it is a bit confusing

How Chrome won over the web is a combination of marketing tactics, change of user interests and timing.

Marketing tactics since there was a time where Google use to bundle Chrome as optional checkbox on several freeware application installers. This may be shady but it helped immensly in the Google Chrome adoption, as most users did not hear about Google Chrome (or did not notice). Helps alot also that their website also helped advertised their new Chrome browser which is touted to be better and faster.

Change of user interests because Firefox started to get slower and slower pre quantum update. It was really so bad that the user experience became clunky and laggy as Firefox runs longer overtime. I mean sure e10s helped speed up things but it wasn’t enough to be atleast close to on par with Chrome and users actually notice this.

It does not helped too that Chrome bundles flash player by default which also helped change the interests of the masses. For a casual, why would they bother installing Firefox and Adobe flash player seperately when they can install Chrome which is faster and has flash player integrated by default?

Finally the timing, because as the web has continuously evolved, Google being always on top of the adoption of standards (well to be honest, Google has been pushing the standards for years now that it is safe to assume Google is now the standard, lmao) helped the widespread adoption during the times that:

• The web was moving away from flash player
• There was a boom in web app chat apps as standalone chat apps began to die out
• The rise of PWA
• Support for DRM of multimedia webapps (well now they’re pushing for DRM on the web pages), and you know how normie users use to think if their site works on Chrome and not on Firefox

Competitions where focused on adopting to the standards and Google took note of this as they sway everyone to their side until it was too late for the rest.

Mind you during the 2011-2013, there was a massive flock of Chrome users and this is because Firefox may have been super customizable from the getgo, Chrome originally lacked extensions support but as soon as the Chrome extension store came out, it was already an uphill battle for Mozilla as they where focused on adopting to the evolving standard, it took them time to catch up with the user experience causing the bleeding of userbase.

It does not even helped that they had a hard time adopting to the ever evolving standards because their manpowered was shifted all over the place due to Mozilla’s other focus of trying to be not dependent on Google’s income. I am referring to projects such as Firefox OS.

Honestly during the massive growth of Chrome era between 2011-2018, the only one that had a chance to stop it was Microsoft but well Internet Explorer and Edge was always behind on updates mainly because they tied their updates to Windows updates which was known to be slow and clunky. So even if we consider Mozilla having a bleeding userbase problem, Microsoft actually had it worse, lol.

I remember encountering this issue before I switxhed to a more powerful one that can run multiple apps in parralel (split screen)

I didnt think it still existed now, but following the bug tracker, did you do the dom.ipc.processPrelaunch.lowmem_mb modification? I am quite curious
