I’ve used it when I started out and it’s good, I can recommend it if you just want something where you can hit install and it works. I just use docker containers now though because I have more experience and it allows to set everything up exactly how I want.

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•SOLVED GNOME extensions stopped working after upgrade to Fedora Workstation 42English8·2 months agoI know that OP already found the solution but I just wanted to chime in because every person who commented completely misunderstood the question. It’s normal that some extenions don’t support the new version after updating GNOME but in that case, the switch will be disabled and it will show you a warning that the extensions doesn’t support the new GNOME version. OP clearly stated that they could still switch the extensions on and off. Besides that, most extensions will already have been updated to support the new version by the time the Fedora update comes out, so it wouldn’t make sense that all the extensions wouldn’t work anymore.
As a tip, you can install “Extension Manager” instead of the default “Extenions” app and besides being able to install extensions right through the app, it also has an “Upgrade Assistant” function, which lets you check which of your extensions support the GNOME version you specify. That way you can check if your extensions will work in the new GNOME version before updating.

People throw themselves off of buildings here in the west too but at least the people who installed those nets care enough to try to prevent those people from killing themselves.
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Technology@beehaw.org•Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffsEnglish19·3 months agoAlready seen some of those myself. But did people actually think that those expensive brands didn’t just buy from the same factories every other clothing company buys from?

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•MAZANOKE: A self-hosted local image compressor that runs in your browserEnglish5·3 months agoPretty sure Vencord is what’s used now. It’s what I use at least because it’s preinstalled with Vesktop.
What’s that?
Idk if GIMP has a marketing problem but I definitely agree that FOSS projects should add screenshots and a description of what the program does to their website and repo. It really annoys me when someone links a piece of software and it just doesn’t say what it does and there’s no screenshots that would make it easy for me to see what it looks like and how the UI is structured. When there’s no screenshots I’m rarely even interested in trying it out because, even with a description, I don’t really know what it is. Like, I wouldn’t be interested in a car based on only a description, I’d have to see a picture of it too.
I thought Roblox didn’t work on Linux anymore

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•The benefits of using scripts over aliasesEnglish41·4 months agoI use ZSH with plugins but back when I switched away from bash, I also looked at fish. I didn’t use it back then because people say it doesn’t follow the POSIX standard but is that really an issue? It probably only extends it instead of taking things away, right?

Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Gnome #187 Triple Buffered Notifications | Triple Buffering Merged for Gnome 48English1·5 months agoThanks. For normal desktop usage this sounds great (for games the input lag might be bad but that depends on whether there’s always input lag and how much), I’m curious what it’ll be like in practice.
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•This Week in Gnome #187 Triple Buffered Notifications | Triple Buffering Merged for Gnome 48English5·5 months agoWhat’s the big deal with triple buffering anyway? Like, what exactly is it and what does it solve?
What this person told you was wrong, you need to use
flatpak run [package id]
to run flatpak apps. You can doflatpak list
to see all installed flatpaks with their ids. An id looks something likeorg.example.app
and you’d run it withflatpak run org.example.app
.Also, is it shown as being installed in Discover? If it’s not you could try just installing it again and if it is, you can try uninstalling it first. The user data for Firefox should stay intact.

thing.
On GNOME you set the GTK theme using Tweaks or Refine (Tweaks is preinstalled most of the time but Refine is a newer replacement that’s a lot nicer to use). Using one of these two will probably work on any other desktop or WM too.
