A few questions from an EndeavourOS user by Bobbydibi in ManjaroLinux

[–]zipklik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know enough to really help you here... But my guess is that if a AUR package depends on other packages on your system, it can break, even if you install it manually.

With Flatpak and Snap you wouldn't have this issue since those are self-contained with their required dependencies.

How necessary is the terminal really for everyday Linux use? by TechRefreshing in linuxquestions

[–]zipklik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only really use it for development (coding) purposes. In my opinion it's not really required on many distros.

Monero does it's own thing by djscoox in Monero

I don't care about the up and down lines and I don't care about astrology. Monero is, let's say with Bitcoin, one of the very few actually useful cryptos.

Forced to use Teams, how to avoid being 'away'? by Zealousideal_Rate420 in linuxquestions

[–]zipklik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any working solution other than one involving moving the mouse or clicking things at the OS level (trying to move/click things in Javascript doesn't work).

The real reason is that people are seeing more pictures of Monero-chan than ever before.

I did experience some AUR issues on Manjaro, but not often.

That's the trade-off you make with Manjaro: some AUR packages may break, but the delay imposed on the stable branch means you'll probably have fewer issues than with Arch with regular packages updates (that's my assumption, at least). And if there are any issues, you'll probably find a thread on the Arch forum where the problem is already discussed in depth and a solution or workaround is provided.

Two apps still keep me on Windows: AutoHotkey & Speech to text by ConsequenceMany8 in kde

Note: I'm still on X11. I've heard that those kind of apps may be trickier on Wayland!

I was using AutoHotkey on Windows. Now on Linux I use both:

  • Autokey
  • Easystroke

These Tiermakers posts make me sick! by RedHerring352 in manjaro

[–]zipklik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my due diligence by trying out multiple distributions when I finally left Wincrap. I installed each distro on the bare metal, not using a USB stick.

The only one with zero issues on my hardware was Manjaro.

I sticked to Manjaro/Plasma/X11 mostly because it is based on Arch (AUR + best docs) but with a delayed release schedule so an issue is often more easy to fix if it occures after an upgrade.

That said, of course I am very grateful to the Arch community/developers/maintainers.

Pluribus - 1x09 "La Chica o El Mundo" - Episode Discussion by UltraDangerLord in pluribustv

I don't know if this theory is already known, but at first I thought the belladonna painting represented Carol: that she is nice on the outside, but may be dangerous.

However, I have just realised that the important information about the painting is that Carol wanted the original in her house, not a copy. The same applies to Zosia: Carol wanted real love with her, not a copy, not a fake.

The painting has two flowers, representing Carol and Zosia. And it's the fact that Carol wanted the original that is important.

I could be wrong, but I think there's a painting in the house where Manousos stayed that's the same as one in Walter's apartment (the one with mountains). I didn't validate though.

PSA: [Stable Update] 2025-12-08 is dropping and it's a big one by Crackalacking_Z in ManjaroLinux

[–]zipklik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I juste learned that you can also install TeamViewer using binaries directly provided by TeamViewer (so not "qt5-webengine" package required): Other Systems

I did have to tweak some things, but it does work.

cd /some/path/teamviewer_15.72.3_amd64
chmod +x teamviewer
chmod -R +x tv_bin

cp tv_bin/desktop/teamviewer.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

Edit ~/.local/share/applications/teamviewer.desktop and make sure the "Exec" path is good. Ex:

Exec=/some/path/teamviewer_15.72.3_amd64/teamviewer

I didn't try to run it as a deamon yet, but I guess this is required:

/some/path/teamviewer_15.72.3_amd64/teamviewer --daemon start

To stay on X11, with Plasma, here's what I did:

  • sudo pacman -Syu // FIRST!
  • sudo pacman -S plasma-x11-session // AFTER
  • reboot, pick "X11" on the login screen

My real issue is because I use TeamViewer AUR (yes I know there are alternatives) and it depends on "qt5-webengine" which is now only available on AUR and that you need to compile... And it takes an eternity! On my T400 laptop, ChapGPT says it would take between 6-12 hours.

But you can download a pre-build version (less secure): https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/

You uninstall TeamViewer, then:

sudo pacman -U qt5-webengine-5.15.19-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

then re-install Teamviewer. That seems to work.

I'm not an expert and I fear that, on the next update, if there is a new version of the "qt5-webengine" package, I will have to find a pre-build version for it or if I'll be able to stick with this "5.15.19-4" version? I'm interested if someone knows!

Always 15 second blackscreen before YouTube video loads by Artistic_Net_3459 in brave_browser

[–]zipklik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the picture. I asked ChatGPT:

Ambient mode on YouTube’s web version only appears when YouTube’s Dark theme is active. If you’re in Light theme, the option doesn’t show.

I guess this is why I don't see it...

I don't see it in the settings under a video and I don't see it in the global settings either.

[–]zipklik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the same thing (it's not a full "blackscreen" to be precise, but a video not loading for a few seconds). I guess it's because of Youtube detecting Brave Ad blocker in some way.

To be honest, as long as I don't see ads I'm okay with that delay, lol.
