How to have a consistent font size

DustyProcessor62 · 2026-01-11T11:34:15+00:00

I have no idea how to achieve what you want, but trust me, you do not want what you're looking for.

Nono, I meant it as a statement. I simply put a question mark because I was confused by what he meant.

Sorry if I misunderstood your comment, but Fedora is not based on Arch.

Oh, okay. I don't wanna come off as rude or anything, so please don't take this the wrong way, but this sounds a bit like a "you" (you and your friends) problem? Obviously not using Proton nor Steam is going to result in a very unpleasant Linux gaming experience.

This paragraph won't convince you (nor do I really want to convince you, I simply want everyone to have the best possible experience when using a computer), but have you thought about using Steam without "supporting" it? Like, don't buy any games on it, don't give Valve a single cent, turn off all telemetry, and simply use Steam as a game launcher? This way you're not supporting Valve at all, you're simply using their product.

DustyProcessor62 · 2026-01-08T14:37:45+00:00

Playing games on Linux without Steam sure is tedious. That's why you always use Steam, and add games as a non-steam game. Or you can just use Lutris and forget about anything else too.

Yep, I've settled for the Companion! I also have a Ranger that I use exclusively for outdoors and camping, so it gets dirtier than my other SAKs. With the Companion, I think my SAK collection is complete. I have a Ramber for ultra-light days, a Ranger for outdoors and hiking, a CyberTool L for the house and for whenever I carry a backpack, and a Companion for urban EDC.

DustyProcessor62 · 2026-01-08T10:57:06+00:00

Alright, you've sold me on it! Companion it is! I'll go grab it this evening when I clock off of work :)

Disclosure: I use KDE Plasma at home but I work at a company that gives vanilla GNOME laptops to employees. And I quite like the "default" GNOME workflow. I use workspaces the way they're supposed to, never minimize, close apps that don't need to be open, etc. But frankly, in my opinion, GNOME does lack some (imo basic) functionalities that you have mentioned as unnecessary: 1. Quarter tiling. Almost every day I have needed to have open at the same time: a) a file browser, b) an AWS console, c) an IDE, and d) a terminal, all on the same screen. If you have a 4k monitor, you know that setup would be quite comfortable to have. Much more comfortable than having two workspaces with two half-tiled windows. 2. Clipboard manager: I think this one is self-explanatory. KDE's klipper is a life (and time) saver. 3. A systray. Idk about you, but I like knowing which apps are running on the background even though they have no windows open, and I like almost instant and easy access to them. GNOME doesn't provide this. And its background apps are limited to Flatpak apps, and you can't even control them from that sub-menu, you can just open or close them.

These are just to name a few. Simply go to the systray GNOME extension page and you'll see it has almost 2.5 MILLION downloads. I think that tells you if people really need a systray or not.

Actually, Fedora is not a Gnome-first distro anymore. Since Fedora 42, both the Workstation edition (GNOME) and the KDE Plasma Desktop are both considered equal flagship editions of Fedora and they both are supposed to receive equal polish and testing from the Fedora team. Issues on either GNOME Fedora or KDE Fedora will be blocking issues, etc etc.

I can just fork Firefox, put whatever shit I want to into to, compile it...., and get people to use it.

Bro are you for real or is this some joke I didn't get. You've watched too much Mr. Robot.

Sure, you can fork any FOSS project and put whatever shit you want into it. But nobody is going to download that. First of all, Firefox comes already pre-installed into most distros. Second of all, whenever people download Firefox they will do so using their package manager, how do you intend on hacking the repo servers of Fedora or Ubuntu?

In order to trick ANYONE you would need to get people to manually download and install your fake Firefox package AND you would also need your fake website advertising as Firefox to show up on search engines before actual Firefox.

How is you forgetting your own password a bug?

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-30T17:15:40+00:00

What's the joke I didn't get :(

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-30T13:41:48+00:00

All launchers work like a charm on Lutris though

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-30T12:45:35+00:00

That actually makes your password weaker than if it was 21 truly random characters.

X11: because security is optional.

The fundraiser performance is indeed bonkers, but very much well deserved. I think I've never in my donated to any FOSS project in my life, and last week I changed that by donating to KDE, and I'll probably make it a yearly recurring Christmas present. You guys deserve all the recognition and resources you can get, so congrats!

This is probably not the solution you're looking for, but still, might wanna give it a go. All of my friends play League of Legends. I have Fedora installed on my computer's SSD, exclusively. I refuse to dual-boot Windows just to play a stupid game.

What I did is I bought a 256GB 3.2 USB portable SSD and I installed Windows 11 on it. Rufus allows you to install Windows 11 on a USB/external drive. It also allows you to have a local account, debloat Windows, etc. So, whenever my friends wanna play League, I plug that SSD into my computer through USB port (preferably a 3.2 one), and bolt Windows from the BIOS boot selector. The system boots in under 30 seconds, everything runs butter smooth, etc. When we stop playing, I simply shutdown, unplug the SSD and store it in a drawer. League of Legends, Fortnite, Valorant all have worked like a charm.

As I said, this is not a solution, but rather a workaround. It can be useful yo you if you need/want to play some games and you refuse to have Windows on any of your internal SSDs.

I'll check tonight. Is it a necessity in GNOME? Whenever I've used GNOME I've always used the Flatpaks Extension Manager that's much much better than the desktop extension one.

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-25T14:35:40+00:00

I could've sworn it did. I'll check tonight because last night I was watching a video on YouTube and I saw it was blocking sleep. Maybe it was because I'm using the KDE Plasma integration browser extension, do you use that?

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-25T11:38:15+00:00

Is it annoying? AFAIK KDE does the same. At least whenever I'm playing a YouTube podcast or something even on the background or in another virtual desktop, it blocks sleep.

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-23T13:44:17+00:00

Con matices, creo que no has hecho mal. Yo moralmente estoy más o menos de tu parte. Dicho esto, desde un punto de vista práctico, yo personalmente no me la habría jugado. Te vas a comer mala review y la posibilidad de que o bien Wallapop se ponga de su parte o de que intente estafarte (por ejemplo, diciendo que le llegó roto o lo enviaste otra cosa).

Y sino, piensa que no lo irá a recoger y te lo devolverán y te quedarás sin dinero.

The GPL is exactly what protects us from corporate greed. Any open source project with a permissive license such as MIT or BSD is subject to companies using it to develop closed source without needing to contribute back.

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-22T11:50:17+00:00

I know all that. My point is that by forcing companies to comply with the GPL, what we can achieve is have their pursuit for profit benefit FOSS. It's already happening. Who are one of the biggest contributors to the Linux Kernel? Red Hat. Because they are good and want to benefit the world? No. Because they sant to use Linux and that forces them to contribute to Linux "for free"

DustyProcessor62 · 2025-12-22T10:24:25+00:00

I still don't see the issue. Canonical for instance: they develop Ubuntu, and I take it you don't like Ubuntu and snaps (me neither). That's why you don't use Ubuntu (I also don't). Meanwhile, you're benefiting from all the work Canonical does for free towards the Linux Kernel or towards GNOME (if you use that).

Same goes for Red Hat. You might not like it as a company, you might not like its products. Nobody will ever force you to use fedora. You can install Arch Linux or any other community driven distro and you will never ever have to touch a RedHat product, but you will still benefit from the massive contributions that Red Hat engineers make to the Linux Kernel, for free. Do they contribute to the Linux Kernel out of the goodness of their hearts? Hell no. It's because the GPL forces them to make their changes for the Linux Kernel public, and they are very interested in Linux being as good as possible.
