I usually prefer having any side machines running something more stable than the main one, as I’m always bound to use and mantain them less often.
Good luck finding something more stable than Debian tho. Maybe something like LMDE, that just got a new version out and is looking great, or trying out an immutable distro.
Don’t patents expire faster than copyright tho?
The one the Gnome team is working on right now, as described here.
The basic premise of rearranging windows at an optimal size, without stretching them out to fill fractions of the screen, seems like the perfect medium between floating and tiling.
I’m not a Gnome user, but I’m geniunely hyped for the new tiling feature. If KDE doesn’t get something similar soon I might change DE just for that.
KDE with Tela icons, Breeze cursor and Nordic theming. I experimented with a few different themes with the Nord colorscheme, but it seems like Nordic is still the best looking and most consistent.
How do you think LMDE and MX compare to just installing Debian directly, these days?
How do you like Atkinson Hyperlegible?? I’ve heard good things about it from visually impaired people, but I’m not clear on how much it helps with dyslexia.
Thank god that’s changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.
My only complaint about Okular is when it comes to form fillable PDFs. I usually prefer using the inbuilt Firefox pdf reader for those.
There’s also plenty of FOSS obsidianlikes. Logseq looks promising, but I’m sticking with Obsidian because I rely a lot on some of the extensions.
Either way, migrating is as easy as opening the same folder in one app or the other, so you might as well try.
Interesting! Krohnkite still works so well for my use case that I didn’t even realize it was unmantained. I’ll give those two a shot!
I’ve been using Krohnkite on KDE. Are those you mentioned better?
I’m not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel ‘neither here nor there’ with some elements in pixel art and some not.
Octopath Traveler’s the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.
I second Plasma as a touch desktop. Neon is pretty great, but I’m not a huge fan of the LTS base + bleeding edge DE combo. I’d personally recommend either Fedora KDE for frequent updates overall, or Kubuntu LTS for general stabilty.
Coming from Windows, gnome was the desktop that taught me how to use and appreciate multiple workspaces. I’m now entirely sold on KDE, but there’s something to be said about the gnome workflow.
Just made an account, and was glad to see an option to import from Calibre. My only gripe so far is that it’s pretty bad at recognizing books with no ISBN registered. It seemed to think a ton of my books were Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or The Fellowship of the Ring for some reason (or Marx’s Capital in French).
Ensable readings of audiobooks are great when done well. My favorite is a recording of the His Dark Materials series narrated by the author and with different voice actors for all characters.
For something a bit more classic (and free), I also really enjoyed the Librivox Dramatic reading of Dracula, though some readers come off better than others.
In both cases, the books really lend themselves to the format: in His Dark Materials, there’s near constant dialogue since every character has a companion spirit to chat with, and Dracula is written as a series of letters and journals so each chapter follows a different character’s perspective and style.
For Android users and FOSS enthusiasts, AntennaPod is pretty great.
I’ve never had this as an issue with KDE. Do you have the command for prime render offloading on the Steam launch options? I usually launch my games through Lutris and it handles that pretty well.
