What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?
  • I blend 2 eggs with a banana, and I fry it as if it's a pancake, with butter. It doesn't hold together, so it keeps coming out as if it's weird scrambled eggs. But it's delicious, the healthiest kind of pancake (with a drop of raw honey afterwards).

  • Linux and your family
  • Yes, very snappy.

  • should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support/am ready or dualboot ltsc and linux
  • I use Photopea on the browser when I need something that the Gimp can't do.

  • should I completely jumpship to linux when windows 10 ends support/am ready or dualboot ltsc and linux
  • Why wait? There's no need for Windows, unless you're running some super-specialized app. The new versions of Windows already have telemetry and privacy issues, so why just go with minimal security options that MS is selling you? You can do almost everything in Linux just as well, if not better, than Windows does at this point. Start with Linux Mint, which is the most Windows-y distribution and you should be golden.

  • Linux and your family
  • No, Cinnamon with LMDE it's slower than XFce on Debian. These laptops were slow and some had only 2 GB of ram.

  • Linux and your family
  • My niece, my mom, and my cousin are using Linux because I gave them my old laptops with Debian in it. They don't know how to do anything with the system (not even update it, I do it for them), but they know how to use a browser, or launch a game. Works fine for them like that.

  • Inkscape 1.4 released
  • Unfortunately, Krita's main dev has long covid and in the last year they haven't been working much...

  • Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice?
  • Create a second gmail account when you get there. Many apps that you will need there don't exist in the US app/playstore, so you will need the second account to download them.

  • GNOME Triple Buffering May Need To Be Re-Engineered - Helping NVIDIA Performance
  • Wayland is already old architecture by today's standards. It was designed in 2007 by the same people who did Xorg. Linux should have copied or ported the 2014 compositor version of Android (which is currently the one still used). The license was good for it, and its technology the most advanced (neither MacOS/iOS or Win comes close). But Linux users have allergy on anything coming from Google and so we ended up with Wayland.

  • What's your favorite FOSS tools for image editing?
  • That's more of an inkscape replacement than a gimp/photoshop one. It's mostly about vectors, not raster images.

  • Nobara Sound Delay, could us a push in the right direction
  • When you say delay, do you mean that the sound starts playing 1-2 seconds later, or that the mouth and the audio aren't synced? If you're meaning the #1, then I have the same problem on Firefox under Debian-Testing (kernel 6.10). No solution to it.

  • Unable to get IP address via DHCP on HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 with Debian
  • Instead of re-installing, just use a usb ethernet adapter and see if that works. Linux supports most of them, but do some checking regardless online for the most compatible ones. Then update the system, remove that usb adapter, rebot. Now see if the original ethernet works. If still not, then continue using the usb adapter as your main source for networking.

  • Unable to get IP address via DHCP on HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 with Debian
  • I believe the installer version of Debian uses a newer kernel than the one it installs later, that's why your ethernet worked during installation. Sounds like a borked driver for the specific ethernet adapter and the older kernel. Get a usb-2-ethernet adapter, and retry to update the system, in case you get a newer kernel after updating it.

  • Is there anything i can do with this laptop?
  • There's nothing you can do with that one I think, for two reasons:

    1. MrChromeBox's firmware doesn't support this model. That's the guy's site that tells you how to unlock the bootloader and install the new firmware on it, that allows you to then install another OS.
    2. It only has 2 GB of RAM. For a better online experience with any modern Linux, you need a minimum of 4 GB. You could install though something like Kodi, or librelec, or some game emulation distro instead of a desktop OS. But without #1, you can't do that either. That's a landfill laptop AFAIC.
  • Debian 12 / Gnome / How to shutdown laptop after battery percentage crossed
  • Answer is here, it was posted the other day: https://lemmy.ml/post/20903038 Instead of beeping as that script does, you shut the PC down.

  • Laptop for Linux use
  • If you're not going to use graphical browsers, like ff or chrome, then get a DELL 3190 (4 gb ram, 64 gb ssd, 1366x768 res). It cost me just $150 as a refurb. I mean, if you don't want to use it as a modern computer (e.g. aaa gaming, video editing, browser with many tabs etc), then it's the perfect device.

  • Printing on Linux
  • As long as your printer is supported, it's not difficult. The problem is that if you need advanced options, like artists need usually, the options aren't there.

  • [SOLVED] Setting up an alarm
  • thanks, I'll try that!

  • [SOLVED] Setting up an alarm
  • It works fine, so I'm ok.

  • Setting up an alarm

    I have installed Linux Mint 22 in a DELL laptop with a buggy ACPI implementation (the kernel complains about it during boot). The laptop hangs if it goes to sleep (I tried various Linux distros/kernel-versions, the result is the same).

    Because of that, I have disabled SLEEP in the firmware (latest version for that laptop btw). So basically, when you close the lid, nothing happens (it just locks the screen).

    However, sometimes you might be in a hurry and you close the lid to do something else, and then you forget about it. The result would be for the battery to run dry, which eventually destroys the battery.

    My question is: what would be the best way to setup an audible alarm if the battery reaches 20%?

    Posting takes too long?

    Starting today, I noticed that posting a comment takes upwards of 2-3 minutes until it's committed (the "reply" button is turning round and round for a long time). Is there something wrong with the servers or some sort of moderation? Not sure what's going on or why.
