Libadwaita has been specifically designed for simple GNOME-style applications that only have one purpose and don't include many features. I wouldn't recommend it for complex project like a DAW.
It's also a bad idea if you want to build anything that's more complex than GNOME's single-purpose apps that lack all kinds of features. Building something as complex as a DAW would be a nightmare with libadwaita.

I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
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.
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'm pretty comftable with linux mint right now but i want to peruse the wares so to speak, what are some cool or interesting distros that do things differently than mint?...
Hey folks, I just got Bazzite OS KDE up and running on my PC. Being a Linux newbie, I'd love some tips, tricks, and app suggestions if you have any. 😅 Switching from Windows has been a bit of a maze with all the distros out there, so any pointers would be awesome!...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I'm a long time Windows user who has experience with WSL. Last year, I needed a laptop for university, and out of laziness, opted for a Macbook since, although they're expensive as hell, are reasonably reliable....
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.
I'd say we (the linux community) are working on it. It's much better than let's say 5 years ago. Quite a few mainstream distros like Fedora and Ubuntu have ARM builds, there's Armbian (Debian for ARM), Arch Linux for ARM and even Pop!_OS has a Raspberry Pi build. As you mentioned, there's Asahi Linux for Apple Silicon Macs as well as an unofficial version of Ubuntu called Ubuntu Asahi.
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 stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing. I have used every one of these ROMs except /e/ and they are all good projects in their own right.
It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community....
Even though this question has probably been asked countless times in other communities, I still want to know: what tool do you think comes closest to ShareX? I'm particularly interested in features like image capture, video recording, GIF creation, and OCR reading all in one tool for Linux.
I wanna make some games but idk where to start. Thinking of gbstudio but the hardware limits would make making a card game hard, any other easy tools? Is there a gbstudio eqivament for 16-32 bit systems?
And Microsoft really sucks at naming things. Windows 10 wasn't the 10th Windows version, the Xbox One wasn't the first Xbox, there are many more examples.
It's very different from Windows, and thus harder to learn for new users. Linux Mint (which uses Cinnamon) is basically made for Windows users, it has a more familiar interface and is easier to learn how to use. My personal favorite is KDE, it is also quite similar to Windows but allows for unlimited user customization. It follows the concept "Simple by default, powerful when needed", which in my opinion is a good representation of the entire Linux ecosystem. Pop!_OS is not the stock GNOME experience, in fact, it's quite different. It adds some functionality and changes how GNOME works. It's better than normal GNOME, but not perfect.
Bluefin is based on uBlue, which is based on Fedora Silverblue. It's really cool because there's a special version of it that's optimized for the Surface.
Weird. I never had a single issue with the fingerprint sensor on the 6a, it literally works every time. It's just a little slow, it could maybe be a little bit faster. But you know what's a bad fingerprint sensor? Touch ID on older iPhones. That shit is terrible, never works for me.
What I am after is something that I can use to plan out a home project and not have to deal with realigning things manually like if I did in something like libre office calc. (It would be a bonus if I can self host it across a few devices.)...
