Good point. sudoe + TAB is 1 keystroke shorter than sudo -e :)

How is sudoedit shorter than sudo -e ? :D

What does CTRL+SHIFT+M do?

The website says you install it like any other package on your distro. Ofcourse that will only work if it’s packaged for your distribution. KCM modules in general are system packages, so not something you can install on a user-basis, like themes and widgets.

## Easiest way to install and receive update is to use my Personal Package Archive as follows:

### To install from command line

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bstrong-f/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fisysmgr or fsmgr

### To install from Synaptic Package Manager

First add the repository:

Go to System Settings, Driver Manager.
Open the "Other Software tap", click Add.
Enter "deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/bstrong-f/daily/ubuntu noble main"
For later releases change "noble" to the appreciate release name.

Close Software Sources.

Open Synaptic Package Manager.

Enter "fsmgr" in search bar. (you may need to click Reload on main Synaptic dialog.)
Right Click "fsmgr" in list.
Click Mark for: Installation.
Click Apply.

### Suggested additional packages.

To search for samba/cifs shares you will need to have cifs-utils installed.
To search for NFS shares you will need to have nfs-common installed.
To search for network shares you will also need to have avahi-utils installed.

I think my most obscure one is “Homarr”, which as the name suggests is a dashboard designed with the *arr suite in mind, but I use it as a regular dashboard for my regular services.

It’s europe. All electronics are more xpensive here, often because of import taxes/VAT etc.

I’m not sure why I got downvoted with that comment. Is it untrue?

This is something you should have thought about, before doing the actual switch. As far as I know there is no good way of running the MS office desktop apps on Linux.

It’s still a 24% power save. In small numbers it doesn’t look like much, but over the course of a year, it adds up.

I don’t know yay’s codebase very well, but it might be that it uses the “cascade” option that some AUR helpers use. Cascade removes the packages, it’s dependencies and any packages that they depend on. It’s a sure way to blow up your system.

I will always use regular pacman when removing packages. As long as the package is installed on the system, pacman knows about it and can remove it correctly.

That should not happen. Are you sure that is all in the pacman -R command? You don’t have a pacman alias or something?

Do we create a new AUR package that is based off that fork? Wouldn’t that pollute the AUR with packages that are similar but are forks of each other?

Lots of packages does this already. So I assume it’s okay, if you can’t get the change into the one already there.

What if I am developing a package B that depends on the A-fork that is not in the AUR? Do I have to create A-fork as an AUR package so that my package B can be built?

Yes. You need to make sure all the dependencies are available from either official repository or the AUR when creating an AUR package.

Sounds more like an android device that an actual Linux device. Especially since it gets detected as an MTP device via USB.

Maybe adb can see it.

Maybe you just need to “enable” it in the display settings of your DE.

What you use as a wallpaper is personal choice. Maybe you like anime. Maybe you are a fan of a game franchise. It’s personal choice, so it shouldn’t matter to anyone else what you have on your wallpaper.

Shouldn’t you be allowed to wear Adidas shoes, since you run Linux on your PC?

The laptop is certified to run Ubuntu 22.04, so try that out.

Although they do mention:

Standard images of Ubuntu may not work well, or at all.

There’s probably an efivar that reads the current microcode version.

Nice. Any plans on mobile clients?

This would be great for my spouse, but she don’t really use desktop/browser apps. A mobile app could also integrate with the existing reminders/notifikations of the OS it’s on.

Is there a bug report about it?

If not, did you create one, providing logs etc?

Last time I had to eject a DVD, my kwin didn’t crash, but that is a couple of months ago now.

Libquotient just added cross-signing support, which works in Neochat if it’s build against the new version. I’m not sure what else was missing from E2EE support.
