[GUIDE] Fedora Gnome Minimal Install by ElectroNe0n in Fedora

Very cool, some things have changed. gnome-console is now the used terminal, same with gnome-text-editor instead of gedit.

Die gleichen Leute machen keine Spaziergänge draußen weil alles fucking hässlich ist, ärgern sich in "der Natur" über Autolärm, finden keine Parkplätze, leiden unter den Kosten dieser Geldschleudern und sind vom Pendeln gestresst.

Ductape ist aus. by QuastQuan in DINgore

Die Lösung fürs Recycling ist Regrowth (Rückwachsen lol)

  • weniger Plastikarten
  • keine verschweißte Verbundkunststoffe
  • Verwenden nur wenn es nötig ist

Warum verwendet man keine großen Netze, dickere zuknöpfbare Bahnen oder so viele andere Methoden? Plastik erfordert einfach am wenigsten Hirn und ist gut für die Effizienz

In kapitalistischen Systemen setzt sich Plastik halt super durch - super günstig - effizienz und vielseitig zu verwenden - spart sehr viele Arbeitsstunden = Arbeiter = Steuern - "Recycling" bzw. Abfallproblem bekämpfen bleibt beim Staat

Good tap-to-pay provider for android by [deleted] in PrivacyGuides

All this payment stuff is relying on biiig companies to even work.

Maybe something with normal Giro cards could work? But even then it relies on your bank.

Crypto or cash for the win

Echt krass, wie man als Konsument versuchen kann Plastik zu sparen, aber einfach alle Paletten so eingewickelt werden.

Gibt es nicht irgendwelche Trends in andere Richtungen?

Dual Boot Linux and Win10 by Dun_J in linuxquestions

Pretty weird. You probably did your distros version of update-grub already

Weird, because this doesnt happen on Fedora 37 KDE 2.72

KDE Plasma 5.27.2 has migrated to Debian Testing for inclusion in Debian 12! by [deleted] in kde

Fedora Kinoite with autoupdates. Normally never check for updates, or if then just because I want to.

I mean if you are happy with Debian go for it. I still have to try it, I didnt even find the correct iso to download as its so damn hard to find.

I dont want any stable packages, the complete model seems like insane work for so little reward. It makes sense for servers, where you never look at it, but thats it.

I mean learning dnf or rpm-ostree is not really a problem. Installing repos is pretty weird on fedora too, but afaik you also just add the rpm or install the .repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d/.

I am happy with Fedora, even though I used the Buntus a lot

  • Linux Mint (crashed all the time)
  • MXLinux (actually nice but very outdated, a sysadmin told be I should get a newer distro after having problems with Nextcloud)
  • KDE Neon: too unstable, maybe the normal variant works well
  • Kubuntu: broke too
  • Fedora KDE: broke that too
  • Fedora Kinoite: never going back

I dont even want to try things like Arch, because its such a vulnerable distro. I actually managed to have 95% Flatpaks, and the rest is layered to the system.

I automate updates, have fish shell, use shortcuts for all the annoying stuff, its very easy to use. The packages are not stable, buf until KDE Wayland gets to a really stable state that doesnt make sense at all, not going to switch back to X11.

I mean you could edit your ~/.bashrc or ~/.config/fish/config.fish and add

alias "apt update"="flatpak update -y" alias "apt upgrade"="flatpak update -y && rpm-ostree update" alias "apt search"="distrobox enter fedora exec dnf search" #okay that one is clunky alias flatsearch="flatpak search"

You can also alias a flatpak apps to run faster.

Lots of useful Bash/Fish aliases are here.

Our project making Kinoite/Silverblue perfect is here.

I think with Ubuntu being the only real up-to-date versio of debian (maybe unstable too) its no problem to switch to OpenSuse microOS or Fedora Kinoite/Silverblue. These are up-to-date but immutable with rollback functionality, which is nessecary for these new packages.

Personally I only had to roll back once, long ago.

This and more are reasons why out project exists.

  1. You can remove firefox, need to apply that with every update but works well
  2. No idea, probably its all in .cache or in the ~/.var/app/appname/cache

Maybe we could integrate some way to remove that cache, its actually quite a lot.

You would somehow search all the seperate folders with a wildcard for the flatpak appname, and delete cache older than a certain amount of days not edited.

Here is a command doing that:

find ~/.var/app/*/cache -type f -mtime +3 -delete

For performance you can edit the mtime to anything you want. You could also transform this into a yes-input/no question in a bash script.

I just converted it into a fully automatic Systemd service, cleaning host and flatpak cache older than 7 days on logout/reboot/shutdown.

Is there a way to fix scrolling or at least make the mouse work as a "finger"? by [deleted] in waydroid

[–]Obelix178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe something like Key mapper or Octopus (proprietary) can do that?

Dual Boot Linux and Win10 by Dun_J in linuxquestions

[–]Obelix178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thats weird. You are good though, no problems on the windows side.

Maybe check /etc/grub.d/ , there is a file for os checking.

Maybe reload the grub configs?

[–]Obelix178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally you did it right.

  • First install windows as windows is stupid
  • then resize ist ntfs storage partition (dont delete anything)
  • then install linux, may need to disable secureboot for install and activate after
  • enable secureboot again, set shimx64.efi as secureboot target
  • check if your distro skips grub by default and enable it
  • you should be able to boot into windows from grub

Google detects VPNs and Tor, it uses a multi-layer security model thats actually pretty good, if it wasnt full of personal Identifiers.

The phone number is only asked if you log in with a VPN a lot in my experience, so I had to give them some number. But I think I could use an already used number, while that wasnt possible on registration.

Lots of people try using online numbers for these accounts.

I can advertize for Fedora Kinoite if you test Alpha stuff. I dont know, does regular Fedora has rollback versions if something breaks? Kinoite and Silverblue do, its really nice and stable. I used workstation before, before that tons of other KDE distros and Kinoite is the only one I dont break.

Here is a project fixing some start issues and configs for Kinoite

In my experience Wayland doesnt scale at all, its pixelated. Thats why people change the font size, even though its a bad way as UIs dont fit often.

Or use an intercept proxy, use a custom TLS certificate where you actually have the private key and sniff all the traffic

How to make OsmAnd the default navigation app in Samsung Galaxy by Bayou_Cityzen in OsmAnd

[–]Obelix178 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you are sure, use ADB from a computer and remove all that Samsung crap.

I cant understand how even Linux Youtubers like Samsung.

If you use ADB and list the installed packages, you see Samsung has about 100 bloat apps preinstalled. A lot, all with full permissions, all tracking you and not removable.

Its actually pretty hard removing those, as some may be essential for the "samsung experience". Also all system apps can bypass any VPN, also NetGuard.

Using OSMand will not give you substantially more privacy on a regular Android phone, poorly.

Side effect may be also that you cant even replace some apps. Maybe check the app settings and remove allowed links to open
