And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it’s a/b testing from google).

I guess it’s time to update my local music collection.

Autoclicker basically.

Also AutoHotKey exists

I think it’s more about the specsheet than anything else. If Mint works, great! I’m just not too sure how well it will work (It should work well, but is it the best option?).

I mean, yeah, Fedora Atomic is based on rpm-ostree

I think he means the unusually high turnover of Executive Directors over the last few years.

Here’s my .zshrc:

and ~/.config/zsh:

This config uses Starship for a prompt (https://starship.rs/), Homebrew as an extra package manager, and my own custom fetch script at:

A lot of it was taken from Luke Smith’s zsh config. Say what you will about him, he’s got a good zsh config. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLEo4OQ-cuQ

I can confirm I’m a newer user (not a normie) to Nextcloud and I don’t know or really care what it uses because it works so I haven’t had to learn what it is or how to debug it.

Yeah, they’re holding back PopOS 24.04 because they want to release it together with COSMIC. Though at this rate, COSMIC will be out not long before 26.04, so idk what they’ll do there.

I agree, and COSMIC aims to reach Mint level and stay there. Settings have continuously improved (like everything else), and the main feature of COSMIC is tiling (regular people don’t care about written-in-Rust or Wayland-only). I can’t wait to see major settings/features appear with the next release, like Night Light. For now, I just want to see it stabilise fully and reach release.

Yeah, I’m waiting for River 0.4.0 and I can’t wait to try it out and hack around with it. I’d love to add “a Custom WM for River” to my project portfolio.

If

the learning curve for a tiling window manager is too high

I highly doubt they’d go for dwm

I can think of one: Excel Macros. If this had come out before May 2022, it would have saved me from needing to dual boot for a single assignment where I needed to do data analysis using Excel just two months after switching to Linux. It was literally around 2 hours of work, or less, and the entire dual boot setup took a similar time.

And that’s why even static sites like Hugo blogs or even simple pages like the one OP posted should have HTTPS. Source: Studied Distributed Systems at university.

More like Current Year + 1.

There isn’t really a year of Linux. It’s just consistent growth over time, with some boosts here and there.

The AC4 image is suitable, as I will, in fact, continue pirating the hell out of Ubi games I want to play, including Black Flag which I almost 100%-ed recently (haven’t gone 100% on main missions yet).

If you’re a new or intermediate Linux user or sysadmin, you might have felt an odd fascination with the myth of systemd. I invite you to this deep dive into systemd’s nuts and bolts. I’m not gonna beat around the bush: It’s a hairy business, it will be hard, but I promise juicy and satisfying rewards if you keep pumping through this guide.

Let’s start by uncovering the “D” of systemd, the secret sauce that doesn’t get the love it deserves: D-Bus.

Okay, those innuendos have to be intentional!

It isn’t. I’m on PopOS 24.04 Alpha 7 (soon to be Beta 1), because of COSMIC (and because I was having some bugs with Fedora a few months back).

I recently wanted to tinker with a piece of software that wasn’t packaged, and I couldn’t compile it because of outdated libraries. I could return to Fedora specifically to tinker with it but as an ex-distrohopper, I know it isn’t worth the effort.

Even though Fedora or some version of it will likely be my forever distro, I will stick to PopOS for now because I can’t be bothered to distrohop and back up months’ worth of files, including game saves and a ton of stuff in my Downloads directory.

Java is easy, Bedrock is almost impossible.

For Java, there are plenty of cracked launchers. Just find one that is a jar file and make sure you have OpenJRE installed. I think I was using SKLauncher.

For Bedrock, your only real option is finding the cracked launcher AppImage that has the ability to use .apk files. The hard part is that if you’re on an x86 platform (anything desktop that’s not using Apple’s M-Series or Qualcomm’s chips), you need an x86 apk, and the x86 apks from TLauncher will not work, I tried. You could scour the internet and find 1.8, and 1.14 (Village and Pillage) x86 apks, but they’re super old at this point. In the end, I gave up and paid £6 (UK), for Minecraft on the Google Play Store, so I can play Bedrock. It’s probably the only digital game purchase I’ve ever made.

Same here tbh, but I never used my Linux device for it in the first place, so…

Especially if you’re using the Chaotic-AUR to get the latest updates ASAP without recompiling (like with the COPR repo on Fedora)
