They can add all the features they want, but it won't be usable until they fix their damn UX/UI.

After working for ~30 years with adobe software, when I switched to Linux I learned inkscape in no time. Same happened with Affinity Studio. Both are great, intuitive.

Gimp's is just a hot mess

Isn't Fedora kind of rolling but not really ?

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

But why? Just pick another arch or arch-based distro like Cachy, Endeavour or even KDE OS.

Manjaro has been a slow sinking ship for too much time, anyone wasting their time with it is equally responsible.

There are already gazillions of reports scattered around both open and closed platforms.

But you can't easily search for them with proper filters, they are almost useless.

What we truly need is a platform that enables this. And it needs to be federated, so every willing distro can host their own but share them to those instances interested in aggregating all distros.

Fedora and Ubuntu have their own, but Distro Watch aggregates both so that anyone wanting to switch can easily compare.

No, I don't believe it's of any worth, as experiences will vary depending on user preferences and hardware. What would be the value of content like that?

But yeah, I was adamant about switching. I knew I would ditch Windows. I forced it down on my self to such a degree that I had to learn how to work (while working) without the tools I used for ~20 years like Adobe for example. I freaking love Inkscape and gimp is the most unintuitive piece of software on my PC.

It comes bundled with Bazzite, but it's not as good as Proton works. Lepton would be a far better solution.

The presentation made it sound like Lepton would only help Android apps be usable on the Frame.

I wish I could sideload an APK to Steam and be able to run the Android app on Bazzite. Like Proton but for Android.

I want Linux to have something as cool-looking as NZXT's app. Both apps have proper APIs, I thought maybe someone made a unifying GUI.

2 years ago when I started my switch I tried ~10 distros and then did a prolonged test of about 2 months for each of the 2 distros that were the closest to being perfect out of the box and settled on Bazzite.

I wish you a happy journey and if you don't like one flavor don't ditch Pizza, there are many more flavors to try and one of them surely will become your favorite.

I bet all these lawsuits against Valve are tied to a group formed by Epic & Microsoft among others.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Last major release I believe it took less than a few hours to hit Bazzite.

KonMari technique has been passed down through generations in my clan. Only the best folders are allowed to compete for the Shogun title.

 

From their repo:

Plasma Login

Plasma Login provides a display manager for KDE Plasma, forked from SDDM and with an new frontend providing a greeter, wallpaper plugin integration and System Settings module (KCM).

What we want

  • Great out-of-box experience in multi-monitor and high DPI and HDR
  • Keyboard layout switching
  • Virtual keyboards
  • Easy Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese (CJK) input
  • Screen readers for blind people (which then means volume control)
  • Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup
  • Deeper Plasma integration including:
    • Display and keyboard brightness control
    • Full power management
    • Pairing trusted bluetooth devices
    • Login to known Wi-Fi for remote LDAP
 

I just read about people struggling with Next loud in the OpenDesk thread and wanted to share this in case someone is interested in contributing to this project.

 

I thought this would be relevant to Linux, since the options available to us Linux users are either unmaintained, hard to use, require a subscription, an account, or to upload your content to a server.

BentoPDF is the opposite of all that.

I just hope they add a dumb-proof way to install it (PWA? Flatpak?) for easy access.

 

I just found this interesting PDF tool:

https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf

Fully offline, everything is client side, the files get edited in the browser, there's no server uploads.

 

Does anyone know anything about it? Any thoughts worth sharing? Is it trustworthy?
