Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?

So I just bought a OnePlus 12 recently, I was used to controlling volume using the onehand operations goodlock module in my Samsung galaxy S23. I basically never had to press the volume buttons to control the volume unless absolutely necessary....

gunpachi OP ,

Thanks for sharing this, but I have found another way to control the volume. I'm using back taps on my phone to control the volume now. It's very convenient.

I have edited my post to include how I enabled this.

Bruh I just got the OnePlus 12... Welp..

Pixel pricing is horrendous in my region anyway.

gunpachi ,

I was surprised to see moondrop releasing an android device. If they can keep it affordable it will sell well.

gunpachi ,

I have tried Buyvm when I was getting into selfhosting during the pandemic.

They were pretty cheap too, not sure about the pricing these days but you should take a look.

I have used Freebsd for sometime on my desktop back in 2021. For the most part I had a good experience except that I couldn't figure out how to connect earphones/mic on the ports on my PC case. I had to plug it directly to my motherboard for Freebsd to detect them. I used an Nvidia card at that time and it also worked very nicely although it had much older drivers than Linux.

I ended up switching back to linux because of 2 reasons -

  1. I have a few BTRFS drives that I use regularly and couldn't afford to buy some new ones for Freebsd at that time.

  2. I couldn't play games using steam proton. I don't know the situation these days, but I'll surely check it out If it has improved since then.

You should give Freebsd a try, you might like it.

About 106 communities.

gunpachi ,

Can you suggest me some alternatives to SimpleLogin ? Would appreciate it if its free to use, as my usage is very basic.

gunpachi OP ,

I only see an option to open the player in a new window. I didn't see anything related to external players.

One thing I could try is to run stremio and mpv on a distrobox Archlinux container and see of it does the job.

The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don't see anyone here switching to linux on their...

gunpachi ,

As someone from India, I agree with you.

I guess people just want to use what everyone else uses. Using something different than windows is instantly assumed to be very difficult.

I even showed my friends how they can play games on linux instead of having their laptops get stuck while using windows 11 , but they still won't even consider trying it.

Btw if you don't mind - do you play apex legends ? (Judging by your username)

gunpachi ,

Hehe, any kind of ricing can be taken too far.

Funnily enough I recently switched from WM's to DE (and KDE plasma at that) so that I don't spend entire days adjusting making pointless window border customization and autostart scripts that are already taken care of by a Desktop environment.

That said, I cant live without my keybinds so I've replicated the same on my Plasma setup.

gunpachi ,

I also think discord nitro is kind of B.S . The only reason I still use discord is because my friends use it.

I wish there were similar features in Matrix clients like Element. Just the voice channels feature will be enough for me.

Revolt chat is a good alternative. It lacks in features but its pretty good for an FOSS project. I tried to convince my friends to use it but they crawled back to discord after 2 days.

gunpachi ,

Ubuntu is great, but please consider linux mint and PoP_OS too. You may find them more appealing than ubuntu.

Both are ubuntu based anyway, so you wont be missing anything good.

gunpachi ,

For amd gpus you may want to take a look at amdgpu_top

(SOLVED) Linux Laptop Gets Stuck on Black Screen After Suspending, No Way to Use Unless Restarted With Power Button

Recently bought a new laptop that comes with an AMD Radeon gpu and installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed on it which I had installed on my previous laptop as well but never had issues with suspending and resuming. However, with the new laptop, I am unable to resume after suspending or closing the lid unless I force it to shut down by...

gunpachi ,

I have a similar issue but for me the black screen comes at random times when I open, close or move my windows or mouse.

I found a temporary fix for it by checking out the archwiki amdgpu page

But it still occurs , especially when I wake up my computer after suspending it.

gunpachi ,

Hi OP. Really awesome XFCE rice.

Would you mind sharing the xfce panel. Also what icons are those ?

gunpachi ,

Hey thanks !

FYI the panel configuration is in "$HOME/.config/ xfce4/panel/" if I remember correctly

gunpachi OP , (edited )

Hey thanks. It still doesn't have that google material U ish aesthetic that I'm looking for but that's okay.

I also found another theme named - Bazik

Windows 11 vs Ubuntu vs Fedora 39 vs Arch Linux - Speed Test! ( youtu.be )

Even though different Linux distros are often fairly close in terms of real-life performance and all of them have a clear advantage over Windows in many use cases, we can't reject the fact that Arch Linux has undoubtedly won the competition. And now I'm so glad to have another reason to proudly say "I use Arch btw"...

gunpachi ,

Where my openSUS at ?

gunpachi ,

Haha yeah, zypper is so damn slow. I thought about trying dnf in opensuse but didn't want to risk breaking my install.

gunpachi ,

I wish Samung Galaxy S23 , S22 series gets added to the supported devices list.

gunpachi ,

I have heard good things about Mabox linux, although it's based on manjaro.

Alternatively one could also try 'Arco linux' it's pretty good.

gunpachi OP ,

I have used cloudstream in the past for watching TV shows and Movies. I remember that some sources were just not loading the video for me.

Do you have any preferred sources that you use in cloudstream ?

gunpachi OP ,

Thanks, I didn't know about this one. Looks like a fairly big project judging by the stars on the github repo.

gunpachi OP ,

Yeah the UI is really good. On top of that it supports extensions from Aniyomi and Mihon too.

Although, from my experience the manga reader could use a bit of tweaking as it's a bit janky (compared to tachiyomi, Mihon and kotatsu)

gunpachi OP ,

I have been putting this off for some time now as the RSS feed in qbittorrent was sufficient enough for me. (Also storage space is quite limited on my computer)

I guess I'll check it out this weekend.

gunpachi OP ,

Wait isn't that a language learning app ? Does it also play anime ?

gunpachi ,

I hope they don't abandon the small phone size. Also they need to make it available in more regions.

gunpachi ,

Can confirm it's working. Backup from tachiyomi J2k restores successfully in Mihon.

This has been my main issue with Kotatsu and Mangayomi.

gunpachi ,

I'm trying to decide between Dantotsu , mangayomi and kotatsu right now.

gunpachi , (edited )

R.I.P tachiyomi, I have used it for years. Kind of sad to see it go. Are the forks also abandoning development ? I have been using the TachiJ2k fork for the past 3 years or so.

I guess I will be shifting to kotatsu soon.

Some of my favourites are Void Linux, Artix and Opensuse Tumbleweed

Void was my first non-systemd distro, and it was super snappy as well. Some packages may not available but overall I had a really great experience with it. It also offers a version with the musl C library. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Opensuse tumbleweed is an overall a great distro, it's one of my favourites. Also I noticed that many people have recommended it and that's for a good reason. It's installer isn't that user friendly but I would prefer it over Fedora's installer any day. ( I haven't tried the last 3 iterations of Fedora, so it might have changed now )

Artix is well... arch with different init systems. Nothing too crazy. Its what I have been daily driving for the past year or so.

gunpachi ,

I feel like I see the same kind of post everyday.

  • Kakoune should also be added under Text editors.
  • Yazi is a good terminal based file manager
  • nnn is another file manager
  • rtorrent for a terminal based torrent client
  • nushell - a different kind of shell.
  • starship prompt
  • weechat for IRC

I was looking for a small phone and the zenfone 10 and s23 base variant were my picks, they ticked almost all the boxes. I ended up getting the s23 because of better software support and the availability issues with the zenfone 10 in my region.

I just wish the s23 had better custom rom support from the community and a sd card slot.

gunpachi ,

Last I checked it takes about 360 hours to get permission to unlock the bootloader on a Xiaomi device. Also you have to have your sim card in the phone while requesting the unlock.

gunpachi ,

I agree. We could ride the threads train and use it to our advantage. If it ever gets problematic, instances can just defederate at that point.

gunpachi ,

I’m already using shelter to achieve a similar result.

gunpachi ,

Some banking or payment apps can detect root and won’t let you use them.

When I used to run Custom ROMs I just used magisk to hide the root and these apps would work fine afterwards.

gunpachi ,

I still remember the good old days when there was no waiting time.

gunpachi ,

I had a similar experience with the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1. It was a budget phone but it had tons of custom roms and it lasted a good 4 years for me. I had to change phones because it broke during a motorcycle accident.
