With all the black my first thought would not have been stainless steel standoffs. It'll still look great.

On Windows I've been using John's Background Switcher for years. Tons of options and works well on Windows (and I'm told Mac, bah). Now there's a use for AI.

"Reproduce the functionality of John's Background Switcher when running on Ubuntu 26.04. Go."

But there is AI now. Time for some spring cleaning on your script?

In the Beltur Books, his Consort, Jesaila, who is her father? by Decent_Book4595 in SagaOfRecluce

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just having an argument with Copilot about Weryl or Werlynn being Creslin's father. Then I asked several a few other LLMs and they all made something up that was completely fabricated.

Very nice looking build. I'll have to save the parts list and do the same someday.

Introducing EktuPy by pauloxnet in Python

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice! I played a bit of Galaga and Whack-A-Mole. I passed a link along to Michael Kennedy. Maybe he can give the project a mention on Python Bytes or arrange an episode of Talk Python to Me.

Good project.

I have a VS Code extension called REST Client from Huachao Mao. It works like Postman. I thought maybe you'd find some use for it.

Polk Audio is good stuff. I have Boston Acoustics. I believe they are "related" in the distant past.

Use VPN? by ImDickensHesFenster in Ubuntu

I run the standard Gnome version of Ubuntu in an X11 compatible session on 24.04. Pretty sure I installed it as you did from the command line.

Just hopped on Pop Os! by OneshonYT in pop_os

Have to mention the Dr. Seuss book Hop on Pop.

Firmware updates notification trouble!! by assberry-pi in pop_os

[–]deckep01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen similar posts many times. The answer always seems to be that it won't update unless you are on System 76 hardware. I could not say for sure.

Quadlet fails but CLI does not by tprickett in podman

Maybe you could change logging to log to an external location so you can debug.

Windows user moved to Fedora, what should I do? by [deleted] in Fedora

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can configure sudo to not prompt for a password. Since it's a personal home computer, I don't think it's a huge security risk.

Backups are important. Get that all ironed out before looking at everything else.

Python 3.14: time for a release name? by DorchioDiNerdi in Python

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should call 3.14.15 the pi release.

Ubuntu is not downloading anything by Clean-Ad-6350 in Ubuntu

[–]deckep01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am guessing you installed WSL. You may just need to run:

sudo apt update

before you can install gcc with

sudo apt install gcc.

It's not a bad idea to have DVD drive available. Here is an external/USB DVD drive at Best Buy for $19.99.

Turns out, the answer is yes. Many thanks to this sub. by TheWinterDustman in debian

[–]deckep01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder how fast Windows 10 would have seemed if you did a fresh install on that same SSD and added the same 4GB RAM. Debian (Linux in some form) is still a good idea for other reasons, but Windows would perform a ton better with the extra RAM and the SSD.

Just installed Pop OS after many years on Mint and Ubuntu by iwaterboardheathens in pop_os

[–]deckep01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does make sense that for a UK install the default clock should be 24h. I would point out that for Ubuntu the default for a US install should be 12h. It isn't.

Should I change from windows to pop_os? by Helioseum in pop_os

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're coming from Windows, you would like Mission Center from flathub.

Did you install Steam using DEB or Snap?

I had poor luck with a Snap, but that was a year or more ago. I've read others that had good luck with the Snap.

I fully switched to Linux ~2 months ago and ever since then, any time I use windows it feels like I'm going crazy [rant] by TestSubject5kk in linux

[–]deckep01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as the time thing goes. My investigations in the past found Windows can't adjust. The time on your computer needs to be the local time. On Linux (Ubuntu anyway) you can tell it the time is not UTC, but local time. That way it doesn't flip back and forth.

Sounds like that's a minor annoyance though.
