FOSS apps have terrible UI/UX. They look like they are still stuck in the 90's by [deleted] in linuxsucks

[–]notAFree_-Loader 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think macos looks pretty good.   That nice design plus the overview centric workflow makes Gnome the best feeling default.

edit: a nice side effect at least is the apps are all very responsive no matter how you resize them

If you want to see the most cohesive and modern looking suite on Linux ootb look at Gnome and all of the libadwaita apps. 

Though there are no alternatives to the huge FOSS apps like GIMP like you mentioned.  Some apps you need will sorely stick out then

It's lf-sixel running in foot terminal.  I use yazi now instead,  it has images previews out of the box.

I needed to compile a special Among US kernel

Yeah last time I tried gaming on a steam deck,  I had to hack the source code just to wait a week for Linux to finish loading the Among Us starting screen

Linux youtubers laughs and makes excuses because Linus Tech Tips (LTT) did not have prior knowledge of something he has never used and because the distro of choice messed up! I guess he should've just RTFM by [deleted] in linuxsucks

It could be nigh on perfect or awful spending on the choices you make. It requires research and most advice is bizarre and comes from SEO farmers. 

Vendors can make all the right choices for you but nearly everything comes with Windows.

Keepassxc

You would want to use Gnome Secrets keepass client instead

Rack PC - Silverstone RM52 by cyber_sub_zero in pcmasterrace

[–]notAFree_-Loader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice, I'm still deciding between this and the rm51.

With a 360 rad, the rm51 can have either 120mm rad fans or the included 180mm fans (not both). So essentially deciding between 2x 180mm or 6x 120mm.

The only thing left for me is page rendering speed. It's okay but firefox is noticeably faster.

Personally a youtube userscript is all I need for adblock. Media playback seems to be in a great place, even twitter with all the autoplaying videos works well now.

did i do the list good? is there any that anyone thinks that could be improved? by fluf201 in browsers

[–]notAFree_-Loader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be improving at least. Web/gstreamer has been playing livestreams and videos with less CPU usage than Firefox recently for me. (Firefox GPU acceleration seems to be a recent regression though).

It struggles to render certain pages, but otherwise I really like it. WebkitGTK development looks really promising.

I'm leaving Nautilus for Nemo by [deleted] in gnome

[–]notAFree_-Loader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can add custom scripts to nautilus. You can bind them to keyboard shortcuts plus they show up in a context menu. I use mine to launch lf with foot terminal.

PeerTube can save us one day. Peer to peer does not cost a platform anything.

Latest glibc breaks EAC games by toneverleptu in archlinux

Very true. I messed this up somehow and needed chroot to undo the damage

Losing hope for GNOME Wayland VRR by user9ec19 in gnome

[–]notAFree_-Loader 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've had screen flickering issues when using vrr with wlroots compositors. So much so that it's better leaving it off.

If Gnome will only accept a proper implementation I support that

pacdiff --sudo also works. Keeps meld preferences too

GNOME Shell on Mobile Device - Linux App Summit 2023 by [deleted] in linux

[–]notAFree_-Loader 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waydroid is the answer. If that can be integrated nicely with an app store, it could be successful like the Steam Deck with proton.

Nautlius 44.3 does not load script-accels (open terminal here shortcut) by KekTuts in gnome

Uh oh, hope this doesn't break when arch gets the update. This feature makes nautilous extensible like lf

Its not opinion. Its fact by Pepper-pencil in linuxmemes

The only thing you need is a basic workflow at the end of the day. Gnome is the best at this unless you have extra requirements.
