  • US considers banning Iranians from shopping at Costco during UN meeting

    Jump

  • Yes, but they only sell in packages of 6. So, who needs 120 Megatrons? In the long run it's better to buy just what you need or you end up nuking cities you didn't want to nuke originally.

  • In case you missed it, LXQt and Xfce both support Wayland now

    Jump

  • That was an interesting choice of words "inside"

    I thought DEs were around the WM. This is, you run a WM in a DE.

  • Hahaha, we can always hope.

  • Maduro says 8 US ships 'with 1,200 missiles' targeting Venezuela

    Jump

  • The reason why Maduro is in power is the US. Plain and simple.

    Hadn't the US propped puppet right wing governments in Venezuela, there wouldn't have been a need for a Chavez mesias.

    The US doesn't care about drugs. They care about Venezuelan oil and continue tal hegemony. That's it.

    So, it's not only Trump. It's every single government before him.

  • When OP says "layout" I think he means the old as windows 3.1 layout and workflow. It was good in the 90's. Now it feels cumbersome and dated.

    Don't get me wrong. I know that's the main selling point of Mint: Familiarity and stability. I settled on it for 19 years after I got tired of distro hoping. I've contributed financially to it every month for years.

    However, it's that cumbersome workflow which got me back into Gnome where I use only two extensions: transparent task bar and window autotile.

    Gnome on a laptop flows naturally and out of the way.

  • Former Linux user looking for stable distro

  • Usually the problem is that new users go out of their way to fuck things up.

    I don't see anything wrong with that. Most of us did that and that's how we learned. But really, all mainstream distros are good out of the box unless you have an unusual hardware configuration. Specially now with flatpaks, appimages and Snaps.

    Of course if you want to tweak and twist KDE or install extensions on Gnome or PPAs from who know where on Ubuntu or overuse the AUR in arch you need to know what you are doing.

    However, it's no different in Windows but for different reasons. The most common way to fuck windows up is to start installing software from non reputable sources. I think many of us have had to clean windows installations from friends and family when it becomes unusable.

  • You don't mention the specifics of your hardware and that's an important consideration.

    I was a mint user for more than 10 years. It never crashed. It became my fail back when I moved to Fedora/Gnome. It's very crashed, but my laptop (ThinkPad X1 carbon) supports Fedora out of the box.

    People keep saying "a DE you can customize..." While I love KDE, the amount of configuration available means that's it's easy to screw things up.

    I suggest Gnome because it has a modern workflow and it's otherwise out of your way. Of course, you can install extensions. Just don't go crazy because extensions may not be as stable as the core.

    The GNOME workflow becomes natural after a few minutes.

  • Niri a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor

    Jump

  • I'll need to try!

    I have a finely tuned Xmonad/Xmobar but at some point I'll need to switch to Wayland. This looks promising as a replacement.

  • How to selfhost with a VPN

    Jump

  • All those "experts" lecturing you and they don't even know about man in the middle attacks.

    They don't know that there are active bots searching for HTTP addresses to inject risky code or redirect to malicious sites.

    You providing some feedback which may help OP is seen as criticism.

  • Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?

  • They had me u til "your dad installs it"

  • Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?

    Jump

  • Removing the word "windows" in the last frame and also "your dad installs it for your dumb mom" to "your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!"

    Teaching "children" that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.

    Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

    Jump

  • Once you implement Authentication/Authorization it's fairly simple to add a new function.

    I think here, the problem is not the complexity of the task, but the developer's prioritization based on all the backlogged features.

    Still, users can do this on their own. Directly on the folder, autorotating all pictures using wildcards.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

    Jump

  • You can start with what you can. What can provide the most value and iteratively improve from there.

    Sometimes as a developer or even product manager, you don't know what feature complete really means until people start using it.

    Oh, by the way: https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

  • 5 reasons to switch to an immutable Linux distro today - and which to try first

    Jump

  • But, really, how frequently a normal user borks their system?

    I've been using Linux for since 2004 and I can't remember the last time (if any) that I irrecoverably borked the system.

    I use arch, mint and Fedora. Repositories in those three are solid.

    Yes, immutable systems have their uses. Mostly entreprise uses but for home? Only out of curiosity.

  • Where is Immich going to be in 1 year? What's your prediction?

    Jump

  • I'm just learning about the software but all the tasks you listed (crop, rotate and adjust), can be done easily with imagemagick simple one-liners.

    For example: Convert in.jpg -rotate out.jpg

    Or

    Using the auto-orient option or using jhead.

    Why is it so hard for this app to implement it?

    Okay why is your distro the best?

    Jump

  • Really? I guess everyone was 15 at some point and hadn't heard that distro wars are useless 🤣

    There is no best. Period.
