I kinda suspect it won’t show up as a normal HID keyboard, I had some issues with that with a Razer mouse/keyboard, I think they did some proprietary BS to make sure the shortcuts worked for actions that couldn’t be done via keypresses. But I hope it does! It would be cool to see.
Yeahhhhh thats a pretty niche product and is basically a HID driver interface, so any functionality would have to be rebuilt from the ground up on Linux. It’ll certainly take some time, if theres enough interest to make it worthwhile to someone.
I mean both Red Hat and Ubuntu did ship updates to change the config of cups-browsed, so I don’t think that’s correct.
Sure thats true as long as the basic support on compatibility is there, but as I understand it Pine is so hardware-only that they make it hard for other projects to even support their hardware, i.e. with lacking drivers as the other comment addressed.
I have my steam games running from a NTFS storage partition separate from my Windows and Linux home partitions… I had some initial issues when I started doing that, and it required a different read method for the drive (which never worked), but for about 6mo I’ve had no issues running steam off a vanilla NTFS drive.
In my experience NTFS is the most stable, unfortunately. What issues are you having with the NTFS disk on linux?
And there was me thinking that was a mint problem…but it’s never broken nearly badly enough to force a reinstall. It’s just weird not being able to do a full upgrade unless you temporarily uninstall some packages.
Just switched from Alacritty, kitty+zsh rocks. Feels faster than alacritty, and the tutorialization of the default config is great. And it’s wildly configurable.
Ahhh yeah I meant theming. My bad. And that would be easier ofc.
Ignoring the original post, I wanted to pick up on what you said right at the end.
Something I’ve never understood is, what impact is using iced going to have on app compatiblity? Are we going to need compatibility layers for GTK and QT, like with Cinnamon displaying QT apps, with the associated jankiness?
Check for a ~/.config/chromium folder and delete it. dnf doesn’t seem to have an equivalent to apt purge chromium which would be the other thing to do (while the package is installed).
For anyone else who was wondering, it’s major releases only, and so far it’s been:
Not sure Havelock would look kindly at being left til 5th, but you can’t please everyone.
I’ve used Xournal++ and Write, both worked pretty well. Saber also looks promising.
It’s going to come down to how the program handles smoothing of the pen input, which is going to differ based on how noisy your tablets data is, and on your handwriting.
Well we wouldn’t want Proton, it would be 2000x less lightweight than electron! /s
It seems to me that Tauri is maybe a better direction to invest resources in than a direct electron-but-Firefox. Its lighter weight and better sandboxed, and can presumably be configured to run with a Gecko engine instead of a chromium-based webview. I have no idea its status, but geckoview does seem to exist.
What issues were you having with mint 22? I haven’t had any specific ones yet, except for the qt5 themes app no longer being installed by default and not quite working right.
I think they mean powerful as in compute power, and since they’re designed to be thin clients, the answer is no. They’re universally underpowered the day they come out.
MATLAB works fine on linux for me these days. Some weird small text on hiDPI screens, but its fixable. I’ve only tested on Debian based distros though.
Darktable if you’re ok with a steep learning curve, RawTherapee if you prefer an easier-to-use UI with a few less features.
For those not following the blog, here are the instructions!
The molecular mechanical modeller NAMD and its viewer use TCL as the CLI interface, and it’s…fine. I would prefer BASH or python, but it works just fine.
Also Tk is how most LaTeX drawing is dealt with, so trying to modify, say circuit diagrams or chemical structures drawn directly in LaTeX (I.e.
chemfig) requires using some Tcl. Again, it’s…fine. No huge complaints.Edit: bad memory, the drawing program in LaTeX is TikZ not TkZ, its unrelated to Tk.
