What's a thin client?

Niche Distro Users: Why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] nerdschleife@lemm.ee 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not sure if niche, but I use Arco Linux instead of the alternatives like Endeavour,, Manjaro, or plain arch.

Why? Its easier to setup than straight Arch. Manjaro was all over the place when I tried it a few years back. Arco, right from the ISO stage, let's you configure exactly what you want, with a handy guide on their website.

But the thing that keeps me loyal is the excellent community. The maintainer himself responds to most of your queries on telegram / discord (not FOSS reeee) and he's very active on YouTube as well with no nonsense guides and walkthroughs. Shoutout Eric Dubois

Meanwhile my country's apps don't let you open them if you have Developer Options enabled on android :)

Is there any way to get gcam to use my default gallery app? in c/android@lemdro.id

Some gcam versions have buried settings that can enable a third party gallery

As an audiophile, I've tried these at an event and they sound pretty close to audiophile grade wired headphones. They have the Focal house signature (slightly warm but not bassy or boomy)

Focal Bathys? They are expensive and delicate though

I use cloud flare tunnel for my home server too. Are there any viable and somewhat easy alternatives?

How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.

This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I'll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.

Newish user migrating to Linux (lemm.ee)

I have been using Arch Linux with i3wm for around 5 years for work, on my ThinkPad. I am fairly comfortable with pacman and setting up a distro. I have previously tried Mint, Manjaro, KDE Neon, Elementary, and MX Linux, all for the same use case (Work: where I need a browser, Slack, and a MongoDB GUI).

However, I have been using Windows on my desktop that I use for gaming and the Adobe suite (photoshop and illustrator mainly). With the increasing enshittification of Win11, I want to migrate full time to a Linux system on desktop as well. I prefer a more stable experience on this machine so I chose Pop OS (other suggestions are welcome. I like Plasma). I need some help getting started (I did some preliminary trials on a VM where I was able to run a small game off GOG, but the part I need help with needs some trickery wrt different disks).

PC specs:

  • Ryzen 3 3300X
  • 16 GB DDR4
  • 1 NVMe boot drive, 1 SATA SSD for games, 1 HDD
  • RX 570 8 GB

My copies of Photoshop and some of my games are pirated. I'm planning to run a Tiny10 VM for the Adobe stuff but the games will need to run on bare metal linux, off the NTFS formatted game drive. Edit : Most importantly, Content Manager and mods for Assetto Corsa need to work (not pirated), with my Thrustmaster T128

I would be grateful for a guide for this.

FOSS launcher options? (lemm.ee)
 

I really like the simple, stock - ish layout on my home screen, which rules out a few popular suggestions like Niagara.

  • I liked Lawnchair, but development is dead. Even the new alpha hasn't been updated in a year or more, and is missing features.
  • Neo Launcher perhaps came close to being the most ideal, but it is buggy as hell and also hasn't been updated in a year
  • Nova is what I'm using now, but I hate that it does not remember the drawer groups for each app once they're reinstalled. I work as an app tester and having to sort work apps manually every time drives me up the wall

Does anyone here have any suggestions?
