On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)
Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.
Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there's no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.
On the other hand, when I turn off my second monitor (on HDMI), all my apps stay on that screen, meaning I have to manually move them over to my main monitor where I can actually see them.
And if my DisplayPort monitor is off and everything's on my second monitor, when I turn the main one back on all the windows go back to where they used to be (al least on Plasma Wayland).
I just had that problem when you browse to a Mastodon post and ⭐️ it, or try to follow someone. The choreography is clumsy, and the kind of thing that will hinder mainstream adoption of ActivityPub....
Curious if there’s any travel apps or sites I’m missing that will log your trips, manually or automatically, with the locations on a map along with your dates of visit.

What I do is have a separate /synced/media/music folder on both my pc and phone, and use syncthing for that and don’t worry about the default Android music folder.
For playlists I do that on my pc with the music player Strawberry, I can add songs to a playlist and save it as a .m3u file in that same /synced/media/music folder. The playlists still work on my phone since it’s just local paths from the root of my music folder. I would do playlists on my phone as well but I use JetAudio which is pretty buggy and doesn’t let me modify .m3u playlists, although I’m sure some other player would let you create and modify them.
Basically it just displays a stream of Fediverse posts as they come to the server. Says it streams from “Mastodon/Fediverse” and links to jointhefediverse.net, so I don’t know what the sources are....
It was really cool seeing comments and upvotes change in real time, but I understand it was buggy and terrible for server performance and I’m glad it’s better and more stable now.
Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.
I switched to NixOS almost two years ago, and it’s really nice being able to define my whole system in a single set of config files. If my hard drive dies or I switch computers, I can just reinstall NixOS using my config files and everything will be set up the exact same way. It’s extremely solid and I don’t need to baby my system because if it breaks I can just reinstall everything back to normal.
And I can share parts of the config between devices, so when I change my Neovim or VSCodium configs using Home-Manager it gets synced to my other devices, as well as being saved as part of my NixOS config files.
Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...
You want immutable distros but Silverblue wasn’t flexible enough? Why not try NixOS? It’s really nice.
I’ve been using it for two years and I love being able to make changes to my config and having those changes apply to all my computers. It’s also basically unbreakable, if my computer explodes I can just reinstall NixOS with my config files and it will instantly be set up exactly how I want it.
Idk if they mean Virtual Super Resolution, which makes a 1080p monitor act like a 4k monitor, instead of Radeon Super Resolution which is the FSR upscaler for upscaling lower res games.
Bonus action shove is so good, it lets you try shoving people off of edges or into environmental hazards instead of just whacking turn after turn. Also great for spellcasters and ranged attackers, but you need to roll for it so it’s not too overpowered. Bonus action potion drinking is also really nice.
I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...
I love NixOS but it can be quite difficult to learn, so learning both linux and nixos at once would be pretty difficult. It’d probably be easier for them to use some normal distro while they figure out how linux works and then switch to NixOS later.
I’ve been using Lapce for a bit and it’s pretty cool, like VSCode but written in Rust. It’s actually so much faster, like you press a key and there’s instantly autocomplete suggestions and error warnings, so it feels a lot more responsive than VSCode. It also opens faster. There’s still a couple weird things and missing functionality though because it’s early in development so I’ll probably go back to VSCode for now.
I’ve recently changed phone and the model I had before this had a toggle to activate Silent mode at a fixed time. The new phone has only an option to activate the “Do not disturb” mode, but I’d like to have one for the silent mode
I just keep all my actual stuff in a separate /stuff partition, so my home folder is only config files. Then I use NixOS home-manager and Impermanence to manage the dotfiles.
Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn’t be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

What is a good FOSS Android app to scan documents and immediately convert them to pdfs? On Microsoft Lens, you can take multiple scans and also merge different ones together to create a combined PDF. Thanks.
What I read a while ago was that it had too high latency and/or not enough speed to run video streaming for Peertube. It seems like there’s been some work done on getting Nix(OS) working over IPFS, and they asked about it on their latest community survey, but idk how much they’re focusing on it.
AnySoftKeyboard has beta releases once a week, although idk how well they work. I’ve been using the stable version for years and I like it (although the autocorrect can be a bit silly sometimes).
UnexpectedKeyboard is the coolest and lets you easily type (what feels like) every single UTF-8 character imaginable lol. The typing feeling isn’t as nice and I don’t think there’s any autocorrect though so I don’t use it.
Sounds like Muzicbrains Picard should work, it scans the actual sound data and matches it with that song’s metadata. For manual adjustments I use kid3qt.
Any recommendations for easy-to-use Linux distribution for audio production? I might try PipeWire installation too if it's stable and compatible enough....
I've been using Pipewire on NixOS for over a year and it's worked great. Idk if NixOS would be good for you though cause it's pretty hard to learn, but it is really solid.
Syncthing, which syncs my files between my phone and computer. I can rip a music CD on my computer and it’s instantly sent to my phone so I can listen to it on the bus or wherever.
