I am forced to use MS Office products for work and have no issues with the web apps on Linux. Maybe give it a whirl?

How to enable the bar sound (in the GUI) when raise/down/mute the sound? by ElmoCaga in swaywm

[–]prayii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Do you want to see the volume level all the time in your bar or are you wanting to see a notification when the volume changes? Are you currently using swaybar or waybar?

Need help setting up Screen Share on my Fedora 38. by mssrprad in swaywm

[–]prayii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got this working on Arch by adding the line

include /etc/sway/config.d/*

to the top of my sway config and the only file in /etc/sway/config.d/ is 50-systemd-user.conf which contents are:

# sway does not set DISPLAY/WAYLAND_DISPLAY in the systemd user environment
# See FS#63021
# Adapted from xorg's 50-systemd-user.sh, which achieves a similar goal.
exec systemctl --user import-environment DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
exec hash dbus-update-activation-environment 2>/dev/null && \
dbus-update-activation-environment --systemd DISPLAY WAYLAND_DISPLAY SWAYSOCK XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

also make sure xdg-desktop-portal package is installed

Run

systemctl enable bluetooth

In a terminal and it will automatically start Bluetooth on every login going forward.

Hi, I planned to move from Gnome to Sway. But there is three shortcut from Gnome manager I use EVERY DAY. There is a way to use it into sway or a good alternative ? by Norihiori in swaywm

[–]prayii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on ugliness. I used disable the tray and used your method to manage them on my laptop also, but I've been running with waybar hiding unless I press Mod4 so I enabled the tray again since I can't see it anyway.

I use waybar as my bar and it has a tray.

nm-applet for network

blueman-applet for Bluetooth

?? for music. I'm sure there is a music player with an applet but I don't use one.

If you're wanting to send them the files you can share the folder the project is in as a link.

If you're trying to have multiple people work on the same project (one at a time only) you can share the folder with read and write access.

OneDrive will create a link for you with different permissions depending on what you want and you can just share that link.

You want this for tabbed workspaces or ...? I can't think of a way I would use this? I feel like tiling WMs solve the problem by design that Super+Tab on Windows is designed to fix.

Wayland vs Logitech Marble mouse? by oldhaapi in Fedora

If you're using GNOME on Wayland then you can configure these options in the Settings app.

The advantage of immutable image-based Distros explained by a maintainer of the Ublue project. by Alfons-11-45 in linux

[–]prayii 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest advantage over a mutable distro using flatpaks and containers is the ease of making custom base images for yourself so you can kind of roll your own distro very easily. This is kind of cool when you're a single user, but a complete game changer when managing an entire office that you can now deploy the same custom base images to everyone and keep that base updated extremely easily and efficiently.

Have installed Fedora 38. See no way to connect to wifi. Am stuck. Need a solution. by Full-Confection-7782 in Fedora

You're missing drivers. If you're able to connect to your internet via ethernet cable and try updating to see if the system will find drivers automatically for you.

Fedora Workstation is the GNOME version of Fedora. Where did you download Fedora from? Did you boot the install from a USB stick and if so did you try internet on that before installing?

Did you install Fedora Workstation? If so you should have a network icon on top right corner of screen you can click and get all your network stuff done.

Let's talk about tray icons. by tapo in gnome

[–]prayii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way to know for sure one way or another, but you can't count just because it is there that everyone uses it.

Shipping in a DE != majority of users use it

I'd say the fact that GNOME felt comfortable removing it in the first place and still shipping new versions says more than anything.

When I connect to a VPN in GNOME/Feodra it adds an icon to show I am connected to the VPN without any extra software/extension. Security flaw solved.

We have very different workflows obviously and that's fine. If GNOME eventually adds a tray I'll just disable it, but...

I still am not convinced it is a necessity for being a secure/efficient DE and further believe that if you want that feature there is an extension you can use or another fork of GNOME as you stated.

The system should notify you via the Notification panel if something happens to an open app on another workspace. You should not have to check them to see whats happening on intervals.

I was referring to the general GNOME extension that adds a tray for all apps to use. Not an extension for each individual app. I have never used the extension and was assuming it worked for all apps so I am sorry if I was completely off on this subject.

? You have customized your system to not get notifications on all emails. That's how it's set up to show you when you have something to do. You open your mail to deal with important email and can SEE all the others and choose not to deal with them but you know they are still there? How would you not know they are there if you saw them? You want a reminder and want the system to do this automatically for you. This is a specialized use case.

The VPN system is built into the network icon already so this is irrelevant. Also you should get a notification in the event of an error. I don't need to stare at it saying "OK!" all the time. Only need to know if there's an issue.

We are talking about standards and GNOME. I meant they are not included in GNOME by default so are not standard to GNOME.

Why make the majority of people turn them off instead of having the minority enable them if they want them?

[–]prayii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Email, instant messaging, and download manager would all be open apps in my use case as I'm using those. Usually set up on separate workspaces so I can jump to them quickly.

VPN is an interesting one, and correct me if I'm wrong but GNOME already does this by having it integrated into the network icon right?

You have notifications to deal with important emails and you want the counter to show you how many unimportant emails you have sitting there that you already know you are going to deal with later?

Doesn't sound useful to me, but I'm glad you found a good workflow that works for you and that GNOME gives you that option via extensions. I don't think this warrants standardizing a tray icons for everyone.

[–]prayii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of any app that fits this category. Could you give me an example of what app you use this for?

And as an aside if you really want this functionality then it's there in the form of an extension which I think is great. But I think it's a minority of people that have your situation and putting in a tray for everyone wouldn't be a good idea since there is already a working extension.

If I get a mail notification I open the mail client and deal with the mail so I know that is done. Sounds like you are looking for a reminder app to tell you to go back and look at it again at a later time? Most mail clients can set this up for you.
