  • I got a Logitech MX Mouse Master 3s. Not sure if it can fit into what you want or need because I’m no gamer (like, not even minesweeper) but it has more than 5 buttons.

    I set it up with logiops so you could customize its buttons - for example I set up one of its buttons to open KDE Plasma’s overview.

    Good mouse overall though the bottom cavity where the wheel resides can get dirty so I have to open it like every couple of months to clean it.






  • Phoronix’s comment section is as toxic as it can be, but i found out a comment that puts into words better similar thoughts I have on this:

    How about the Linux Foundation forks over a few million to fund the thing in its name?

    They could hire more engineers, more testing, more QA. Yet they don’t.

    And while at it, maybe Mozilla or any other stakeholder with resources could revamp Rust to produce lightweight binaries, have a stable compiler and for it to be way quicker in compilation?

    No? Okay, but then why do all these foundations/organizations exist? And why do they hold such vast amounts of resources, while extorting the projects they claim to help?

    I’d only add that it’s not only about the kernel - they are home to a project that could be in the medium-long term a serious alternative to Google’s blink/Apple’s webkit, and of course an alternative to the hegemony of Chrome, but they actively chose to just not give them a single cent. Yes I am talking about Servo.



  • I edited several videos for work precisely 2-5 years ago and it was really good. That surprised me in the good sense because last time I tried it before that was like in 2010 and was rather funky, but so was my crappy laptop. And there’s been a while since that and since KDE brought it to attention and the fundraising and you name it and it seems it has improven even more. Maybe with time it can be another famous representative from KDE targeted towards content creation as now it is Krita.


    That being said, I just can’t take any “review” from a “normie” about FOSS stuff seriously because most of the time they come from a propietary software mindset.

    Take for example reviews about Inkscape or GIMP and you’ll find most of them mentioning “they’re not as usable as Photoshop/Illustrator”. So people expect any alternative to work exactly as their non-foss counterpart, which is absolutely ridiculous.


  • Well I wasn’t thinking about memory (and maybe that’s the reason some people downvoted that comment…) but because in my experience NetworkManager takes time starting at boot and with months/years it was taking more and more time. I reset it once and kept doing the same thing.

    As you said you’re planning on a home server kind of thing I’d think setting up a static ip is a good idea and NetworkManager is just an overkill for that - you could very well go along with Gentoo’s netifrc.







  • I’m seeing a “Gestures” section in Lawnchair which has the following:

    • Double tap
    • Swipe up
    • Swipe down
    • Home button
    • Back button

    Each one of them has the following options:

    • Do nothing
    • Rest mode
    • Open notifications panel
    • Open app drawer
    • Open app finder
    • Open search
    • Open app (this one seems to be the one you are asking for)

    Not sure if this are the exact names they show up in english, though

    To those who downvote, really?

    Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

    Take my posts in [email protected] - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

    TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

    Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?
