What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days? in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] LucidBoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Zorin for sure. Set up like a couple months ago, fiddled with some settings since I'm new to Linux for a couple days and it's been smooth sailing ever since.

Excellent passage. Thank you for sharing. I think a lot of us can relate to this.

Why though? What is the purpose of avoiding the filters? Are there shadow-bans based on keywords on Lemmy? There might be something I'm missing, but I only see this as a way to inconvenience people who use filters.

Why do people avoid using the word Microsoft? It's annoying when you use filters and people just circumvent them.

Best jurisdiction for exit nodes? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I was wondering, which country's exit nodes (VPN) do you use and why? Are some countries better than others (in terms of jurisdiction and laws, not latency)?

I switched to Zorin OS (from Windows) at the beginning of this year and never looked back. Great for newbies.

Write the good that you wish them, get them something inexpensive that shows that you still pay attention to what they say and like. Simple. I hate em too but gotta adapt.to the game ig

For the past few weeks I haven't gotten any videos in a resolution higher than 480p. Anyone experiencing the same?

Using Discord in a private way? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hi all,

I haven't used Discord in a while, but it became so that now I have to use it for communication with certain people getting support for some services that I use. What I'm doing currently is:

  • using a separate randomised e-mail address only for the Discord account
  • using a randomly generated username
  • no profile picture
  • tweaking the settings as best I can for privacy

Other than these points, I'm also being wary of talking about anything personal on Discord. Would you add anything so I can be even safer when using Discord?

I want to hear your opinions on the technical changes of the new Notesnook update.

I wonder what my fellow lemmygoers think about the new Notesnook updates, privacy and security-wise.

Something similar to WinCompose? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hi all,

I've switched to Linux only recently, and am very sad that I had to abandon WinCompose. For those who don't know, it is a taskbar application which allows you to toggle "compose-mode" with your R-Alt key and then combine multiple keystrokes to create special characters in an intuitive way. For example, Alt -> U -> "-" becomes Ū. Is there an alternative to this for Linux? I'm on Zorin OS 17.1 Core, specifically. To clarify, I'm not looking for a symbol table add-on. I'm looking for something that I can utilise with only my keyboard.

Thanks in advance!

Which alarm clock apps do you use? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I've been using AVG's Alarm Clock Extreme and am looking to make the switch to a libre option. Any recommendations? The more customization options, the better. I go crazy with my alarm optimization.

KeePassXC w/ FF browser add-on on Zorin OS 17.1? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Hi all,

I was wondering whether anyone uses KeePassXC with the Firefox browser add-on on Zorin OS. I can't get the browser add-on to recognize the app. I spent a better part of yesterday trying to figure out a solution but just can't seem to get it to work. Any help?
