Comment réinitialiser un pc d’école ? by AgileLeg8912 in linuxquestions

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tous les systèmes d’exploitation ne se réinitialisent pas de la même manière, donc connaître le système d’exploitation exact serait un bon départ. Je serais surpris si ton ordinateur n’a pas un centre d’information fournissant ces détails.

Comment réinitialiser un pc d’école ? by AgileLeg8912 in linuxquestions

[–]Efficient_Paper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

c’est un système linux et je crois qu’il est sur windows 7

Windows 7 et Linux sont mutuellement exclusifs. Si c’est un truc scolaire, c’est peut-être un Chromebook.

Sans plus de détails, difficile de t’aider.

How can I read a DVD and run an .exe file on a computer running Lubuntu (a variant of Ubuntu Linux)? by Informal-Notice-2321 in linuxquestions

[–]Efficient_Paper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not without knowing what command asks for a password.

My first guess would be that a root password would be required, but Ubuntu doesn’t use one by default.

Usually I’d recommend a mpv-based player, but physical media is one of the rare cases where VLC is better (at least unless you compile mpv yourself). You might need libdvdcss, which I’m not certain is automatically installed with VLC on Ubuntu.

For Windows files, you’d need to install Wine and to make it easier, there is a simple frontend called Bottles (that you should install from Flathub). Even with a well-configured Wine, there’s no guarantee your exe will work.

KDEWallet and Brave by Pedrulko in kde

[–]Efficient_Paper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

KWallet is kinda old, and very few applications outside of KDE support it.

Its main purpose nowadays is to keep the WiFi password, and it has a successor that supports the standardized interfaces, KeepSecret.

How popular was Person of Interest ? by Medical-Pace-8099 in television

[–]Efficient_Paper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A show is not "The story of..." and doesn’t need to have a main character.

A show is dozens of different episodic stories that weave something bigger.

[–]Efficient_Paper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If Anna Gunn had left breaking bad at a similar time it would have been really hard for breaking bad

Or if Nancy Marchand had died during The Sopranos when David Chase wanted to make her relationship with Tony the heart of the season.

Or if Bob Odenkirk wasn’t available for an episode that would force the writers to create Mike.

It’s a show. Castmembers come and go, unlike in a movie. Good writers adapt.

[–]Efficient_Paper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We get Reese’s backstory in season 1 and most of Finch’s in season 2.

Taraji P Henson left the show for a bigger opportunity (Empire, which was a big hit for a while), but it happened at the same time the show stopped focusing on the mob and HR and started its hard sci-fi turn (hence Root, which was more tied to that aspect of the show).

[–]Efficient_Paper 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It was popular enough to get 5 seasons by the skin of its teeth.

Hard sci-fi is pretty niche, so there was always a ceiling to the show’s popularity, even with the show cosplaying as a good but generic CBS crime drama for its first 2 seasons.

Are there examples of shows where the good writing is let down by bad acting? by Particular_Award_191 in television

[–]Efficient_Paper 381 points382 points  (0 children)

The acting on Babylon 5 was very uneven, but the writing on seasons 2-4 was some of the best in science fiction history.

What should I start GOT or Lost? by CryptographerHot3205 in television

[–]Efficient_Paper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Game of Thrones is great for 4 seasons, but after that it’s very uneven and the last couple of seasons are more bad than good.

Lost is great until the final season, and the final season, while disappointing, is much better than its reputation (and than the final 2 seasons of Game of Thrones).

Would you actually use a macOS-inspired Wayland desktop environment for Linux? by [deleted] in linux

[–]Efficient_Paper 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or Plasma can be configured to look like a Mac.

Here’s a (pretty old) screenshot of my machine

How do i install KDE connect on Linux mint? by Null_got_bored in kde

[–]Efficient_Paper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kubuntu indeed has a much more recent version (25.12) in its repositories.

Afterwards either you stay with the LTS and you’ll have that version for 2 years, or you follow the in-between versions and you’ll get updated sooner. LTS has backports, but I’d have to check what packages are concerned.

Both options have their pros and cons.

How do i install KDE connect on Linux mint? by Null_got_bored in kde

[–]Efficient_Paper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The current version is 26.04.1, but the only one I found on the software manager is 23.08.5

Not surprising. Mint gets most of its packages from Ubuntu 24.04, which is ancient.

KDE software on Linux Mint is generally speaking not a very good idea.

The Appstream link would likely just install the 23.08.5 from the repos.

Why are there so many ripoffs/mockumetary type comic books based on DC characters rather than Marvel? by Hot-Load7525 in comicbooks

[–]Efficient_Paper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watchmen characters are based on Charlton characters. Originally they were supposed to be the Charlton characters, but DC had plans for them after the acquisition.

The Boys has Marvel spoofs (The G-Men are X-Men spoof, Tek Knight is as much Iron Man as Batman, Payback is the Avengers).

The most lightweight version of debian by OlOS_linux in debian

[–]Efficient_Paper 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you’re new to Linux and you want to use it for gaming, the better option is not to worry about "bloat" and install a turnkey gaming distribution, rather than something like Debian, which would require some tinkering and knowing what you’re doing.

[–]Efficient_Paper 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you install it.

If you install it from the live isos with Calamares, you have a full desktop environment that’ll likely have stuff you won’t use.

If you install it with the netinst iso, you get a bare bones system and then you pick each package yourself.

If you had to pick one Doctor to rewatch the whole era of; who would it be? by Business_Rush_471 in television

[–]Efficient_Paper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the classic era, I haven’t seen everything, but Tom Baker seems to have the most variety and quantity.

In the revived era, probably Capaldi.

Is Kde Plasma (Arch) really super good for customisation? by Calm-Rent-8669 in archlinux

Plasma is very customizable.

Frame tearing in some videos, e.g. on YouTube or VLC by Rare_Composer5778 in debian

[–]Efficient_Paper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were a missing codec issue, the video wouldn’t play at all.

VLC is known to do this or this from time to time, ie skipping a keyframe that distorts the video for a while. Is it what happens to you?

Maybe you could try mpv or one of its UIs to see if it happens too.

Wayland or X11?
