Dude, this is like asking “Which car manufacturer ships new cars with mirros folded?” Every driver ought to know that it’s only a matter of pressing the button and they fold. Disqualifying all those good manufacturers because they don’t fold their mirrors before shipping sounds stupid.

Same here on this topic, it’s only a matter of running one command to create the user. Options include writing the instructions down on a piece of paper before giving the computer away, or close the little gap between post-installation and setting up users by yourself.

Instead of posting a video of aggregated news, why not just post the source links?

Let me guess… apps which are written with Qt Python bindings?

That these DEs are a bloat in modern Linux computers?

GTK is fine by me. Qt on the other hand, is BIG. And now with Qt6 out, and some older apps aren’t migrated to it yet, I have both Qt5 AND Qt6 installed on my computer. It’s a shitshow.

Thanks for clarafying. That sounds like a genuine reason to use a synchronizing program like Nextcloud, to share files between devices frequently.

I don’t know much about syncthing but I hear a lot of people talking about it. Perhaps someone else can shed some light to it. But as I experienced Nextcloud about a decade, I consider it belongs to a hard-to-setup, high-maintenance tier. I’ve had my moments when I failed to upgrade and resorted to nuke it and set it up anew.

I shall also share that I’m currently running a dead “distro”, TrueNAS CORE (based on FreeBSD), which abandoned by the company. As a result, my Nextcloud is stuck at version 28 and I don’t have the energy to do a manual upgrade.

If you have made up your mind to set up your own Nextcloud instance, my recommendation is to buy a genuine industrial grade motherboard, put some ECC RAM in it, and use an OS that’s meant for servers (no Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora shit). You shall also setup RAID or use ZFS to mirror your hard disks to prevent bitrot. And I definitely do not recommend you save your valueable data on some random general purpose hard disks or even “like new” secondhand ones. There are hard disks meant for NAS out there.

Or, you know, Nextcloud Inc. sells prebuilt Nextcloud hardwares.

And do ask for more opinions on [email protected].

In which way do you plan to transfer your photos to the backup storage? In the picture I can see a camera and I assume it uses an SD card. I would, if I were you:

1. Buy a consumer grade storage device with USB port, like those desktop storage towers from WestDigital
2. Build a RAID with it if the data is important enough
3. Connect it to my computer and just run rsync

Some storage tower even comes with an Ethernet port and a web interface. It’s practically a personal “cloud”.

Nextcloud is resource heavy, slow, hard to setup, and hard to backup/restore. This is from someone who has been using it from when it was Owncloud.

It’s a piece of software which runs on your computer.

If you find a so-called “web app” which runs in your browser, two things may be happening: 1) Someone took the effort to port an open source app (like InkScape) to run in a browser 2) You are using someone’s hosted service and they steal your information as the fee.

There’s also the option of taking your file to one of your local print shop, where they make it into a poster and charge you some fee.

You either pay money or effort.

Have you ever played arcade? Do you sometimes wonder which part of your body controls the movement?

If it helps, you can emerge them overnight.

The pictures OP posted suggest the distro is Mint. At the last time I installed it, I remember double clicking a exe file brings up a dialogue which asks if I want to run it through WINE.

And I heard Figma is a heavy adopter of WebAssembly which could be faster when running not in a wrapper like Electron. Since it is WebAssembly one can imagine the so-called “desktop version” has to be also WebAssembly and it has to have a wrapper around it.

If all these are true, OP just need to find a way to load the fonts into the web version.

Good one.

A piece of software always runs locally. It is in some cases those who needs to communicate with the server fail to deliver the usual function you expect when offline.

Please do not confuse one to another.

And perhaps you can start by complaining which services you are using heavily rely on the server side? General questions attract general answers and IMHO you are better off just search on the internet.

Indeed. As much of how loved and popular KDE is, fuck it. I use the glorious XFCE. XFCE is beautiful too. Fuck, I’m not the maniac who would waste 2GB just for my DE to look beautiful.

Or just copy the link to your profile page and feed it into your favourite QR code generator?

1/10 Do not recommend

Want to learn? Buy a current computer (secondhand to save money) that has a blazing fast CPU, shit loads of RAM, and any AMD graphics card. Running into trouble is no fun for beginners. You’ll quickly feel depressed and lose interest.

For the learning part, follow any distro’s official installation guide and do it step by step. Learn which part of the systems does what, and how to set it up, how to debug.

And stick to Ethernet connection before you get comfortable. (Shitty) Wi-fi ICs more often than not have driver issues.

For the old laptop, sell it for parts if you’re not feeling nostalgic.

For the last time, buy a new computer, please.

Thanks for explaining.

However I don’t find it a “pretty common way” to talk about opinions. To me, those words mean what they mean literally.

WTF is this post?

WTF is everybody saying?

Why TF not post this to lemmyshitpost?

They could have made them even slower if the old architecture doesn’t cost so much more to manufacture.

I like XFCE4 but there is no compositor for it yet.
