Me, a long time KeyPass enjoyer:

“Y’know people keep talking about BitWarden, maybe it’s more accessible and I should give it a tr…(sees this) PFFFFFTTTT! DODGED THAT BULLET.”

Woo! ALWAYS a good day to see InkScape getting some updates! I suck at it but I sure do appreciate it. :D

Hey I didn’t know that! Cool! :)

I agree, because I really like their color scheme and logo. =\

That’s pretty neat. I do hope they do some solid UI/UX research on it, and figure out their own way of smoothing things out without simply “making it like Photoshop” like the grouchy masses are clamoring for. :p

Blender had some odd ideas at first, but I really appreciate their unique approach that, IMHO, makes an Autodesk product feel heavy and kludgy by comparison.

So weird I’m used to hearing about FBI using us for images. 🤔 Lol

I know KDE’s Dolphin has this built in, but I’m so afraid to use it because I imagine it’ll take ages, and it wouldn’t be recognized by anything else. 😬

All those “active listening” skills to trick people into thinking you’re paying attention or care. Lol

Thanks, I was about to suggest this too. Aegis is awesome. :) I can’t understand why most banks sms a code instead of using something like this. It’s insanity.

I’ve mostly heard it from musicians on various distro forums and such for some reason. You’re right, there’s JACK, and low latency versions of kernels and all sorts of other stuff. (LMMS is more than fine for my experience level lol)

Mainly I think it’s because a lot of the fancy paid DAWs or plugins boil down to Windows, but I’m not an experienced musician myself to really know what their exact complaints are.

I think it still might just be FUD generated by frustrated people, because sometimes you gotta do a little more than “unzip and run” for a lot of plugins.

Elsewhere in the thread people say he’s an “audio guy”, so that’s actually kinda neat if he’s going to Linux.

We’ve made progress on the Linux gaming front, now we need to dispell “Y’but you can’t use Linux if you’re into sound.” :)

Okay, a suspicious thanks to you, Microsoft…

…So when can we get this treatment for WMR so all our VR headsets don’t become useless bricks kthaaaanks!

Wouldn’t mind those sweet tunes coming back though.

We’ve come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:

“BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage”

That’s sweet to hear somebody talking about a long-forgotten game like Gnomoria so fondly. I hope somehow that reaches a dev. :D

I have this one sitting in my library too, and it did make me sad that it’s forever unfinished. Didn’t know about that nasty Linux bug! Wish at that point, they would just open source it lol.

In the meantime I’ve really been enjoying Rimworld as a DF-like experience. :)

OpenSUSEs snapshots and the way they’re configured out of the box is an absolute godsend and gangbanger for newcomers.

I have a general idea of how to set this sort of thing up in almost any distro now, but this is absolutely one of the ideas that swept me off my feet with OpenSUSE. I like a lot of distros but keep coming back to that wild little tumbleweed chameleon/geeko. :D

Like FOSS philosophy:

Both can exist, and both are great, and that’s okay. :)

Haha I dunno I thought it was a pretty good primer for people seeking it out, and people in this community are super helpful and mentor-like in my experience.

I wouldn’t even call myself a beginner anymore, but I read the whole thing. :)

Exactly. Both Manjaro and Ubuntu have had a certain history of “silly misguided shenanigans” that sorta damage trust. You just never know when the next stunt might be pulled.

I personally didn’t have too many problems with Manjaro on my gaming laptop, but have since moved to EndeavourOS, which I’m enjoying very much. :D

I get what you mean. When updating Linux mint, the “This needs to get some additional packages too” window, relatively benign, has a big scary ⚠️/ /!\ on it.

Felt the need to explain to the person I was installing it for. “That’s totally normal, just look it over first and continue.”

…like, it’s gonna do that almost every time it updates, it doesn’t need to look scary. :|

Nexus mods is working on a Linux client which is really exciting! Also Steam Workshop works on Linux. This covers a ton of use cases.

Not saying everything is 100% perfection, but it’s easier than ever to switch, and only getting easier.

I imagine “Windows locked mods” would probably also benefit from just disconnecting the internet and keeping it set up just the way one likes it, since MS is gonna drop Win10 soon.

That’s the case with WMR VR headsets. Sadly don’t see those getting cracked to work on Linux any time soon. :(
