I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. by DeltaWingDragon in c/linux@lemmy.ml

What is/was your distrohopping journey? by DeltaWingDragon in c/linux@lemmy.ml

  • Started on a Windows Vista machine, but I dual-booted Mint on it when it started to run slow.
  • The software broke or got corrupted, so I installed Lubuntu.
  • Lubuntu started to freeze, so I installed Mint again.

The hardware was really outdated at this point, so I got a new machine. Windows 8.1.

Got a different new computer with Windows 10. Started trying out lots of distros of VMs.

  • Switched out the drive and installed... OpenSUSE, I think?
  • Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian.
  • Another system error (which may have been caused by me) led me to install FreeBSD.
  • FreeBSD was usable, but not super usable. I installed OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
  • Catastrophic system error during an update, left the system corrupted. I installed Debian (again).

tldr: Windows Vista -> Mint -> Lubuntu -> Mint again -> Windows 8.1 (new computer) -> Windows 10 (new computer) -> OpenSUSE Leap -> Debian -> FreeBSD -> OpenSUSE Tumbleweed -> Debian again

Got a source about Adguard? I use it on my phone, and I don't get any ads.

Wait, they're closed-sourcing Ubuntu? Doesn't the GPL say that any fork or derivative of any GPL'd product has to have the GPL? It's supposed to propagate.

Do all DEs store the trash in the same place? by DeltaWingDragon in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I need the exact location of the trash so I can specify it in the excludes for my backup tool. If it changes with the DE, then I have to change the excludes. But it doesn't.

On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?

Debian or OpenSUSE. Can't go wrong.

Looking for a simple, time-based night color control by DeltaWingDragon in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Now I'm on Cinnamon. I am using QRedshift. It works, and I can set the time manually.

Lesson: Don't use redshift-gtk, use QRedshift!

I used to be on KDE. It had night color control integrated. Then I switched to XFCE, and it did not. So I installed Redshift.

Oops! Redshift requires location access so it can automatically set the color temperature based on the sun's position in the sky. Now it doesn't work when the network is deactivated. And on my system, I can't set it to redden/bluen based on the time only.

I go to AlternativeTo, to find an alternative. It looks like all of them do the same thing, or are discontinued.

Is that what everyone wants? Is that all that's out there? Just ""smart"" programs that access your location to automagically change the colors based on astronomical events?

Even on Windows you could set the night color control based on the time. Am I living in a backwards world where Linux uses the invasive complicated way and Windows uses the private simple way?

Is there a simple program out there that can set night color control with only the time, none of that other crap?
