Unfortunately, yes.

it’s the same in Germany. I’m pretty sure it existed well before sprite.

Maybe a Linux-native Lemmy app? Or a client for Mastodon? Pixelfed, PeerTube?

Or a GUI for the Rust-based rescrobbled project?

It’s kinda a worse version of VanillaOS and blendOS, right?

The base version of IntelliJ is FOSS, and they kinda offer perpetual licenses for their paid applications. If you subscribe for an entire year, you get a perpetual fallback license. It’s just a license for an older version of the software, but you get to keep it forever. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license

The free version, yes: https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

Thanks, that’s a great resource.

I can’t make the background transparent despite selecting the transparent option.

This might happen because of your theme, what Plasma theme do you use? Try the default Breeze theme to see if it fixes the issue.

But find is sloooow. fd is so much faster, because it’s written in Rust and optimized for performance.

Oh yeah I know about tldr. It’s pretty great. I actually use a Rust version of it called teeldeer. I also have a whole lot of “disputable” aliases, for example rtfm for tldr and rtfmp (read the fucking man page) for man. I also use fucking for sudo. There’s nothing better than running pacman -Syu, realizing the mistake and then typing in fucking pacman -Syu

I also the normal Plasma panel, don’t have any issues with it. They added quite a few Latte Dock features to the normal panel. Your desktop looks great btw!

There’s a very detailed article about GrapheneOS banking app compatibility where you can check if your bank’s app works on Graphene: https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/

Regarding the camera: Yes, you lost some quality with the default GrapheneOS camera app. But you can easily install the official Google camera app from the Play store (or anonymously through Aurora) to get full quality. You don’t even need Google play services installed for that to work, and you can revoke it’s network access, so it’s completely offline and private. I use the Google camera app all the time, it works flawlessly.

I know that, but it uses some weird Markdown implementation where new lines aren’t actually new lines for some reason. GitHub Markdown doesn’t have this issue.

I just think that these new, fancy applications are more user-friendly, because they are often easier to use, are faster and often have things like colored output. Sure, the GNU coreutils are old and reliable, and can be found on almost every system, making them great for scripts, but for normal, interactive CLI usage I prefer the modern alternatives.

Aurora has a Developer Edition, it’s a great system in general. It’s based on Universal Blue, which is built on top of Fedora Atomic, giving you a very stable and reliable experience. It features the KDE Plasma desktop environment, but you can go with Bluefin, which is basically the exact same thing using GNOME.

It’s not longer maintained by the original developer, but apparently the KDE project picked it up and it should still work, just like it did before

It was actually the other way around for me. First I learned about Linux, started watching DistroTube, then got YouTube recommendations for Mental Outlaw videos, got more advanced in Linux and then learned about digital privacy and security.

Damn, that’s another thing about Firefox that absolutely drives me crazy. They implement some feature as an extension, then they include it with the browser by default and just leave the extension there for some reason. It’s the exact same thing with Firefox translations, it’s integrated into the browser now but they still have an extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/

Yeah for some reason lemmy just discards any formatting (including line breaks) when parsing website content. But I think that’s because Lemmy has a very weird way of dealing with line breaks in general.

Or something Universal Blue-based like Bazzite or Aurora.

I recommend a Fedora Atomic distro like Silverblue or Kinoite, or Universal Blue, which is based on Fedora Atomic. It offers 3 images: Bazzite (made specifically for Gaming), Aurora (featuring KDE Plasma) and Bluefin which uses GNOME.

There’s a COPR repo ryanabx/cosmic-epoch

There’s a pretty good tutorial for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiDt4O6UPRw

I can’t find anything similar to Latte-Dock

Why do you need something similar to Latte Dock? Why can’t you just use Latte dock?

Apps: I’m looking for alternatives to ShareX, Fan controller, Flow launcher any other helpful tool similar to them.

FlameShot is a great alternative for ShareX, I don’t really know about Fan controller, but KDE has a built-in replacement for Flow launcher called KRunner. By default, you should be able to launch it with Alt + Space. If not, check the Keyboard shortcut page in the system settings.

Maybe check out this thread: https://lemdro.id/post/8480193

I also recommend subscribing to The Linux Experiment, LearnLinuxTV and DistroTube on YouTube. Mental Outlaw also has some good Linux videos. You can also check out The Linux Cast. Chris Titus Tech also has some Linux videos, but you have to go a few years back for beginner-friendly guides. Zaney also makes great Linux videos, but it’s mostly advanced stuff.

This comment is awesome! Just want to add some things.

There are some better alternatives for the commands you listed. For example fd for find and ripgrep for grep.

There’s a command line alternative for QDirStat called ncdu (https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu), as well as a (in my opinion) better graphical application called Filelight.

GrapheneOS gets rid of all the Google crap, it’s a much lighter and more minimal experience, I really like it. It also has some significant privacy and security improvements, it’s pretty neat.

Do you have GrapheneOS installed on it? That way, you could at least get the update to Android 14.

Pop!_OS will soon transition away from GNOME to their own desktop environment called Cosmic, because they realized that GNOME sucks.

Without uBlock Origin? Not really. Not Firefox’s fault, the internet just transformed into a massive ad-infested shithole, but still, it’s unusable without an adblocker.

No, unfortunately not https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

They get money from Google, Google makes money from ads, if they start blocking ads, Google would probably end their deal with Mozilla

Link to GitHub?

Or just use doas, it’s still more secure than sudo

Flameshot is pretty awesome

I like Vikunja

GrapheneOS is the way to go, unfortunately the 5a won’t be supported by Google for much longer, only until August of this year. GrapheneOS will probably provide a few extra months of extended support though.

The Pixel 7a is almost the same size, just 0.2 inches bigger. Unlike the S10e, it is still supported by Google and gets security updates (until 2028). And you can install a better, more secure Android ROM like GrapheneOS.

Just use LibRedirect with Redlib

Me neither, at least I haven’t logged into my account to browse reddit. Occasionally I click on a Reddit because it’s the result of my web search. But I always use a private frontend called Redlib for that, LibRedirect automatically redirects all Reddit links to Redlib, it’s really useful. UntrackMe does the same on Android, Privacy Redirect on iOS.
