The settings app for gnome is pretty centralized and discoverable. There’s not much customization option, but it’s fine for normal users.

Once upon a time I had an outdated computer running Windows, and got good at fixing it. So I started fixing my grandparents and cousins computers, and they started calling me when they had an issue. 9 years ago I switched to Linux (which fixed every issue I had), and now when they ask me to fix their Windows 11 I just sit in front of the thing with a blank stare.
edit: 9 years, not 7

Linux@programming.dev•KDE Plasma 6.6 Will Cater To Windows Power Users With "winver"
5·1 day agoAn imperceptible amount on his electricity bill as the screen of the PR reviewer increases demand, having rippling near-zero effects on the worldwide markets
It uses Hyprland, not a new wm
It helps I guess ? Making some of the conditions more likely makes the sum* of all conditions more likely
*math vocabulary may be approximative
Some places have charities that manage to roughly feed everyone. Not good food, not weed, but you won’t just die. I believe USA have pretty bad coverage on this front, but I might be wrong. I’ve heard something about feeding people for free being illegal somewhere? Like that can’t be right
Also some countries have social funds that will keep you fed for a few years after loosing employment, so this kind of things can be done temporarily
how do you even pay for that food and weed without any kind of employment in the US?

Do be careful when suggesting specific activities, it can feel like you’re telling them what to be (and cause reactance). If you had parents doing it to you, you know the issue
I don’t think the “judging” part matters. They are likely to be unhappy at some point in the future, and if you happen to be proposing something different at that time, they might be more interested. This doesn’t need to be about judgement or respect, having a way into another life should always be desirable (as long as you’re not being an asshole)
note that I am basing this on how I believe I would feel if I was them, and do not have any experience as your “role” here

Tech@programming.dev•ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times

I mean Tom’s Hardware didn’t test anything, the Youtuber they are writing about tested Hogwarts Legacy and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
I will assert that there are more than two games on the market

I would have guessed this is the book of “there were trees so obviously I cut them down and started minin’ but there were a bunch of ugly locals that tried to stop me it was kind of a mess - long story short I shot them then I went to their homes and shot their families”

Linux@lemmy.ml•UI regression in KDE Arianna - How can I back up and restore specific version of Flatpak package?English
7·2 months agoIf you already have the correct version of the flatpak installed, you can try
flatpak build-bundle.flatpak build-bundle LOCATION FILENAME NAMEwhereLOCATIONis the path of the repo on disk. Runflatpak info -l org.kde.arianna, and copy the part before/appFILENAMEis the output file name, preferably.flatpak. Eg:arianna.flatpakNAMEis the name of the app, hereorg.kde.arianna
The generated file can be installed with a double-click, or with
flatpak install <file>This is the equivalent of an Android
.apk. It contains the app but depends on a runtime. If you want to install it in a few years, odds are the runtime will no longer be available. You can backup the runtime the same way with the--runtimeoption.flatpak build-bundle --runtime LOCATION FILENAME NAMEwhereLOCATIONsame as earlierFILENAMEegarianna-runtime.flatpakNAMEis the name of the runtime, which you can get withflatpak info --show-runtime org.kde.arianna
This takes a while, for some reason. Maybe it’s compressing stuff?
The runtime is installed the same way as the app: double click or
flatpak install.
Note: I only did this once, and not specifically on Arianna. Hope it works.




I don’t even know where to google around. 90% of the sites I find are “download and run our proprietary not-a-virus” and I have no way of knowing which ones are legit
