Thank you for including RSS. I’ll be adding your site to my feed :)

… until you run into a problem which you can’t figure out on your own. Then you search the web, and only find how to do it with Y, instead of the technology you used which is called X. So after determining that you’re truly stuck, you switch to Y. Until you get stuck again, you search the web, and can only find how to do it in Z. And everyone online tells you you’re stupid to use X or Y in the first place. And the cycle continues.

This is why I gave up on being a web developer and stayed far away from JS.

Apple remote desktop? Apple doesn’t support RDP. They do have a VNC client built in however

For desktop there’s ncspot, which is a Spotify TUI client written in Rust. Not exactly what you were asking for, but it does work well

Matrix bridges are nice until you realize that you have to be a mod in the server to add the bridge, you need to do it not only for every Discord server you want to use on matrix, but every channel as well. It’s a huge chore. And ofc it doesn’t work with Discord DMs.

Not blaming Matrix or the matrix bridge developers here because it’s not their fault. But let’s be honest: matrix bridges are a pain to set up for Discord and for a majority of people aren’t worth the hassle. Moving to Matrix would be the better choice if at all possible

Interesting how there’s so many answers here, but no mention of the one I came here for (and I thought would be most popular) : ricing.

I got into Linux when I saw screenshots of all the cool desktops people made with KDE, XFCE, and tiling window managers. Even Gnome looked sleek and minimal. After a while I got bored of ricing but I stayed for the ease of use as a developer

Donkey Kong County Returns. Played it back when I was younger and it didn’t click with me. The platforming was too challenging and honestly I think I got too swept up in the hype around the game at the time.

Coming back to it later, I really appreciate it now. The music, animations and platforming is all sublime. It’s sequel, Tropical Freeze is my favorite 2d platfomer hands down. It’s an absolute joy to play

Silly question but does that include Fedora spins like the KDE spin? I think the last time I checked Firefox it still said it was running through XWayland (although that was a while ago)

JasperRLZ and Displaced gamers g game the ideas and concepts about programming video games really interesting

Installed from F-Droid. I still see it here

Not really. I still prefer to play my Switch games on Switch over emulating them on my Steam Deck

It totally sounds stupid but somehow I’m guilty of it too. I’ve even rebought games on Steam that I have on Switch because of that and the fact that I know my Steam games will be future proof for new hardware

Maybe look into a used Thinkpad P series? They run Linux well, are typically more affordable than a new laptop which will definitely be 1K upwards, and have a 16 inch screen

Not just a text file, a markdown file. And markdown has supported images since forever

I haven’t used Irfanview in a long time now. Personally, I think there are many better alternates for it on Linux now.

Qview is open source, cross platform, and at least for me on Linux, is faster than Irfanview. I’m also a big fan of KDE’s Gwenview.

If you need to do batch conversion, Converseen does the job well since it’s basically just a GUI for ImageMagick

I just the Xperia phones weren’t ridiculous expensive. Why is it impossible to get all these features on a modern smartphone <$600 USD that’s not from a Chinese manufacturer?

Love my Deck. Haven’t been playing as much since I’ve been playing a lot of TOTK on Switch, but currently I’m finishing up P4G

Tab support in TB is one of the main reasons I like it. Are tabs still supported?
