Hi friends. I'm a newbie in self-hosting, though I've been managing (virtual) linux servers at work for a couple of years. I'm completely ignorant on the hardware choices out there, hopefully you can point me to the right direction.
Here are my requisites:
Services I plan on installing, for starters:
I live in europe and my budget is around 80 euros or so. Thanks in advance!
I've played 4 of the 12 games so far and I've been having a blast. I'm excited to play the next session, which is something I could never really say about ticket to ride.
We've been playing with 3 players and each session probably takes around 30 minutes. After each game, however, new stuff is introduced and sometimes it takes a bit to unpack and learn everything. The new stuff has been really easy to introduce and adds depth to the game. Most importantly, it adds fun.
Have you tried it? Is it on your radar?
This year I've been removing Google from my life. Today I installed LineageOS without Google Apps, taking yet another step to a degoogled life.
Due to clearly some poor planning I forgot to lookup some alternative apps for the basic stuff I never think about... I'd rather install FOSS apps that are available on F-Droid or at the very least, an app that is available on Aurora Store. Would rather not be installing random APKs.
Dialer app: I installed "Koler", which seems decent enough
Contacts: Doesn't need to be super fancy, just something that allows me import my contacts from a VCF file.
SMS: Currently using QKSMS, not sure if anything else is recommended...
Camera: I barely use my camera app, just need something to take the occasional photo.
Gallery: The default is probably good enough, let me know your thoughts
Launcher: I used Niagara launcher but I never got used to it, to be honest. I guess I'm looking to something more traditional.
Shoot me any other FOSS apps you think are great! Thank you so much.
For the past 5 years or so I've been using an HHKB and I've grown to love its layout. The (smaller) Delete
, ~
and \
key placements is something I enjoy. The ~
key is used a lot in my native language and this placement is much more ergonomic for me.
I've been out of the keyboard scene ever since I got the HHKB and I've been considering building a new board to try whatever new switches have come out since then.
Not looking to create a PCB myself, would rather use something that already exists and preferably doesn't require any soldering. 65%-ish with arrow keys would be my preferred form factor.
Anything like that in the market? Thanks!
Hey friends. I have been using Linux exclusively for about 3 weeks. I've been amazed at how well gaming works out of the box with Steam and proton.
I only have this minor issue, I'm sure someone can point me to the right direction. I use 2 monitors, I game on the primary monitor and do whatever else on the second. Whenever I go back to the gaming monitor, the game shows the window decorations for just a second and then goes back to full screen. It flickers. Obviously not a major problem, but it's annoying.
If I go to the game settings, set it as windowed and then back to full-screen it occasionally fixes the problem but only until I start the game again.
I currently use EndeavourOS w/ KDE but the problem also happened on Manjaro!
EDIT: As always, the Arch Wiki had the answer, I just didn't see because it seems to describe a different issue. SDL_VIDEO_MINIMIZE_ON_FOCUS_LOSS=0
environment variable seems to do the trick.
I use a keyboard with an american layout because I find it much much better for programming. However, since I'm portuguese, I want to use some characters that don't exist in the american layout, such as á
, é
or ç
. In windows I selected the US international layout with with dead keys and I could do everything.
'
+ a
= á
'
+ c
= ç
The US International with dead keys on linux mostly works but has some weird problems, or different behavior:
'
+ s
= ś
, I expected it to be 's
. Ś doesn't exist in my regional dictionary. It is a problem when typing It's
, which is transformed into itś
. I could perform a space after pressing '
and it works, but I'm just not accustomed to do that.
'
+ m
= ḿ
, same problem as before.
'
+ c
= ć
, I expected it to be ç
'
+ t
= ´t
, I expected it to be 't
I found a workaround for the cedilla, that works on most apps but not on all. Is there a way to change this behavior system-wide? Maybe I can create my own "custom layout"?
EDIT: of course right after I post this I finally find a solution. I love that it's just a dot file I can bring with me anywhere. Gonna leave the post up anyway, in case anyone ever has the same problem.
Hey fellas friends. Sorry to create yet another post on this topic (maybe we should have a sticky for this?).
About 2 weeks ago I decided it was time to move on from Windows and installed Manjaro. I would consider myself a newbie-intermediate level linux user.
Though I've used Windows most my life, we use Linux servers (no GUI) at work, managing them is part of job description. I also own a late 2011 Macbook Pro with vanilla Arch Linux. I barely ever use it but boy, Arch really brought it back to life!
I've been reasonably happy with Manjaro so far, feels easy and intuitive to use but the community has made me aware that Manjaro is maybe a questionable choice. Since I don´t plan on distro-hopping a lot I want to get it right sooner rather than later.
Here's what I'm looking for:
My hardware, in case you feel is relevant!
OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.5.5-1-MANJARO
Shell: bash 5.1.16
Resolution: 2560x1440, 2560x1440
WM: KWin
Terminal: konsole
Terminal Font: MesloLGS NF 10
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-12700K (20) @ 4.900GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Lite Hash Rate
Memory: 23313MiB / 64087MiB
Hi friends. Any news on when the next explorer anthology is coming? Is it this year? Cheers!
I'm looking for a budget (< 100 euros) USB sound card. I was told several times that I should look for a DAC instead but I honestly don´t know the difference. All I want is to plugin my existing headset (headphones + microphone), listen to music and chat on Discord.
Not sure if it matters but I have the Beyerdynamic Custom Studio
headphones and the Beyerdynamic Custom headset Gear
microphone (it plugs directly into the headphones, making them an headset). The headset has 1x 3.5mm jack with a splitter into 2x 3.5mm jack.
I was recommended the Focusrite Scarlett Solo but I don´t think it has a "normal" microphone input? I don´t mind getting 1/4 inch adapters but doesn´t seem like it would work. I don´t play any instrument so it really doesn´t feel like the right tool for the job.
Thanks!
Hi friends. My quest to remove Google products from my life continues.
I've always been very fearful of swapping keyboard apps. I can think of no better way to track someone than to bug their keyboard. How can I trust any keyboard software, really? My wishlist:
Thanks!
