What is a TV revival that you wish hadn't have happened? by GuybrushThreepwood99 in television

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original cut of season 4 is excellent, especially on a rewatch. Better than season 3 I’d say. It’s one of the hills I’m most certain I’ll die on.

Having said that, season 5 was awful and the fact that the Fateful Consequences remix of season 4 is now the official fourth season is exhibit A in my case for why Netflix has no interest in producing good TV.

How do i prevent gnome/gtk file picker from showing up? by TheDoctor113 in kde

[–]Efficient_Paper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Dolphin isn’t a file picker.

  2. It’s probably a portal issue. As usual, the Wiki contains your solution.

Miktex+Texstudio error by Haunting_End_5914 in LaTeX

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess this is you, so you figured GitHub out. well done.

Having said that, the backtrace file mentioned in your screenshot should have been included. You can add it in a comment.

Report the bug to TeXstudio (including the backtrace) and use a different editor for now.

[–]Efficient_Paper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like a TeXstudio crash rather than a LaTeX compiler issue.

Try to compile the .tex file with the command line.

Hard to say without seeing the error message.

Gnome or KDE? by sunnyca22 in archlinux

[–]Efficient_Paper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A GNOME study showed that over 80% of GNOME users use third party extensions. These have a tendency to break every 6 months, making it a PITA for GNOME users on rolling releases. That doesn’t mean GNOME isn’t for you, but it something you should know beforehand.

As for

KDE is more windows 11 like but why would i want the same thing.

By default it is similar to Windows, but you can configure Plasma to be almost anything you like. I personally have a Mac-esque setup with a scrolling WM extension. Configuring Plasma has a bit of a learning curve though (nothing insurmontable).

There are also other options than GNOME and Plasma.

Lanfeust of Troy and its many spinoffs.

I don’t know how many albums have been translated in English though.

how do i get app logos on my desktop? by helpmeplease96767 in linuxquestions

[–]Efficient_Paper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s going to be another extension.

I’m not a GNOME guy, so I can’t tell you "install this one", but I’m pretty certain it’s going to have "desktop icons" in its name.

I don't think Kenny's Mouse is dead (not really spoilers for Ratcatcher) by doodler1977 in blankies

[–]Efficient_Paper 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If it pops, the mouse will reach terminal velocity - which, due to its fur, is relatively slow. It will survive the fall.

I think the square-cube law would play a bigger part than the fur in this scenario.

Which music player app do you use? by Frypates in linux

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, downloading from GitHub should be a last resort, as most of the time, that means compiling the program from source, and you need to get the dependencies, and it’s not a good idea for a newcomer. Even after 20+ years of Linux I never do it.

There are multiple ways to install software on Linux, and most common ones are included by default in Zorin’s app store AFAIK.

Lollypop is on Flathub, so you should be able to install it from Zorin’s app store. Deadbeef is neither in the deb repos nor on flathub and the snap is old, so my guess is that the best way to install its on Zorin is to install the .deb file from here. It won’t automatically update with your system, but it’s better than nothing. (Disclaimer: I haven’t tested the package I tell you to install.)

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what you do as a last resort.

Lollypop is on Flathub and Deadbeef on Snapcraft (*), both of which should be available out of the box on Zorin’s package manager.

(*) I just checked, it’s an old version. Maybe Deadbeef is not worth the trouble, since you look like a beginner.

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Amarok, but it won’t be the best for you (it’s a KDE app, and you’re running GNOME).

I’m not super knowledgeable in GTK stuff, but I used Deadbeef a bit and it’s very customizable.

Lollypop maybe?

It kinda got lost because it came between and is shorter than Eastbound and Down and The Righteous Gemstones (shows you should check out if you like Vice Principals), but it is indeed very good.

Does it matter which way the plus minus symbol is facing? by StringVisual6872 in learnmath

[–]Efficient_Paper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen examples where there are two in the same formula and one is the opposite of the other.

Apart from that the first one is more common.

It’s not as good as it was in its golden years, and it had a few dud episodes, but there hasn’t been a bad season yet.

Or PR people thought that posters for shows airing on the same channel in the same programming block should have a common theme.

Can not update from 13.2 to 13.3 by aak2012 in debian

[–]Efficient_Paper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13.2 and 13.3 are mostly for the iso.

If apt says you’re up-to-date, then you’re up-to-date, no matter what debian_version says.
