  1. Yeah, back to Fedora and Gnome. As nice as Cachy and Niri and Noctalia are, I just work too much with other RHEL systems daily to make this workflow change right now. It’s been a week and I’ve had so little time to even get basic things setup that just work out of the box in Fedora/gnome and elementaryOS/pantheon.

  6. Spent a few hours tonight just trying to get the scaling to NOT be 125%. All the settings for #niri were set correctly to defaults at scaling factor of 1.

    Looks like this is the same issue I have in Gnome where it picks up my resolution and automatically scales me up to 125%. Difference here is Gnome surfaces that setting in displays and you can quickly fix it. It is not surfaced as a setting anywhere to see in the cachy/niri settings.

    I had to do the following and apparently I need to script this to do this every reboot as it’s not persistent. Shout out to a random forum post for the tidbit.

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 1
    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 1.1
    wlr-randr --output eDP-1 --scale 1

    So far I’m not actually hitting anything CachyOS specific and just getting used to Niri. I do like Niri so far. I need to tweak some settings (like getting to the app launcher via Super). I’m not sure if I like how many options there are so far though.

    I’m not a UI ricer and enjoy the simplicity and sane defaults of #elementaryos and #gnome but I do have those on my main systems to fall back to while I play with this.

  11. And to my surprise, the Ubuntu Budgie desktop looks very close like Elementary OS Pantheon desktop.

  17. Elementary OS has bugs that let me fully access the panel and dock even in full screen gaming.

    #elementaryos #gaming #linux

  18. In Elementary OS, accessibility setting is easy to reach. The display setting includes color deficiency assistance for people who need it.

    #elementaryos #foss #linux #tech

  19. Elementary OS shows the connected headphone battery status alongside the device battery. It is a nice feature that I very much appreciate on the operating system.

  20. eDroid version 2.4 has been released. Get it here: gnome-look.org/p/2260309/

    eQuest has also been released, version 1.2. Get it here: gnome-look.org/p/2353469/

  21. This is what I meant:

    Elementary Notepad.

    It is a simple text editor, it isn't overloaded with options, nor the concept of projects. Just a simple file.

    I'll soon have a running version. Hope the #elementaryos #linux #pantheon #vala gods see this and give me some feedback.

  23. I have a question for all #elementaryos users:

    Is it me or Code (io.elementary.code) is actually too much for a simple notepad-like application? I miss gedit, but it doesn't fit into what I see as the elementary way to do things.

    I started learning Vala, noticed that I needed a bit more experience to do what I wanted to do, and began writing my own Notepad-like application, that's why I want to know.

  24. If you're on Elementary OS, use simply-foxy to "fix" the ugly Firefox browser window because it doesn't look suitable with Elementary OS.

    Two screenshots attached on this post. It's the comparison between the original Firefox browser and after applying simply-foxy.

  25. Here's a teaser on how a light version of my eyeQ icon theme for elementary OS will look like.
    If you haven't already grabbed the dark version of eyeQ, you can get it here: gnome-look.org/p/2355005

    #linux #elementaryos #icons

  26. Now that eyeQ icon theme for elementary OS has been released, I'll work making a light theme for it. For now it's only available for dark theme. If I get the time I'll make it compatible with Cosmic DE.
    I have already added Cosmic DE specific icons to it, but it's not tested yet.

  27. The first release of White Noise Media Player is up! It's currently working

    I finished porting Melody from Granite and libsoup2.4 to GTK 4 + libsoup3 + Adwaita.

    github.com/rogerweissenbrunner

    The first release is in .deb format. If you can test it, please let me know how it works on your machine!

  30. 12 hours of intensive work, a bit of tampering with my local LLM to automate repeated tasks, and my fork of Melody has finally started with no errors.

    I decided to rename it because if a translation file hasn't been accepted to Melody 6 years ago, this complete rewrite to Gtk4 and Adwaita will never make it.

    The new name? White Noise. It's not Melody, but it's soothing.

  31. I have an extensive collection of vinyls and their respective FLAC backups. I just noticed that my go-to music player (Melody, written by Artem Anufrij) is some 6 years old.

    Learning Vala now, so that I can update it to Gtk4 and add a couple features I'm craving for.

  36. Anyway, I'm ready to give up on this distro. They obviously don't take Japanese users seriously, despite having a Japanese version of their site online. The main appeal for me was the similarity to the Mac OS UI, but using Zorin on another device (on which I can input Japanese easily), I found that Zorin has grown on me. (But I'm not going to pay to get a more Mac-like UI.) #Zorin #ElementaryOS #日本語入力

  37. Has anyone else found that Elementary OS works fine if you don't try to change anything, but if you do try to change something it breaks easily? Japanese input does not work out of the box. No matter how I tweaked the settings, I simply could not input Japanese. So I searched and found a page by a Japanese user describing their convoluted path to Japanese input. When I copied what they did, not only can I still not input Japanese, but notifications are broken, too. #ElementaryOS #日本語入力

  38. Upcoming icon theme for elementary OS/Pantheon DE. A glass icon theme called: EyeQ

  40. @ct_Magazin es ist doch wie mit allem. Welcher Mensch braucht auch allen Ernstes alle zwei Jahre ein neues Handy, nur weil der Vertrag abläuft? Vor einigen Jahren konnte man gebrauchte Rechner kaum nutzen, aber die aktuelleren Geräte sind auch nach einiger Zeit im Einsatz noch zweite Hand prima zu gebrauchen. #windows ? Was ist das? 😅

  41. So, mal eben auf Linux Mint gewechselt.
    Am längsten dauert eigentlich die Update Orgie nach der Installation 😉

  42. When I install Elementary OS, I have a thought of using "sudo apt install synaptic" so I can download and install packages through Synaptic Package Manager (like I used to love doing on my previous distro). However, after using eOS for a while and still not doing that, I start to think of "just because I can, doesn't mean I should" and I don't do that. Elementary OS already feels like it is designed this way. Packages only acceptable through AppCenter and Flathub (at least if being done through the official distro package manager that is called as "AppCenter").

    I wonder about how the "Background Apps" being identified. I wonder if this is somehow related to the acceptable apps (from AppCenter and Flathub repositories). Do apps being shown on the "Background Apps" are already identified apps from these two "official" means? Also, as a matter of habit, I still reguarly do "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" and "flatpak update" on the terminal. I do that reguarly to keep my system updated and I rarely use the package manager "AppCenter" to check for updates. Therefore, as a thought of experimentation, I wonder if it is possible to use "sudo apt synaptic", and use Synaptic exclusively to install and manage packages. Will doing this have any effect on the stability of Pantheon desktop or the Elementary OS? Will it still functional if I use Synpatic exclusively and not using the AppCenter? This is just a thought, but I'm not doing this right now.

    The thing that I love about Elementary OS and Patheon desktop is the ability of the system that "knows" what sort of front-end GUI apps that is running in the background... I keep wondering how Elementary identifies these apps. Is it the ability of the distro (Elementary OS) or the desktop (Pantheon DE)?

  43. Per this list (noai.starlightnet.work/list.ht), Chimera Linux and ElementaryOS don't allow LLMs to slop up things.

    This doesn't address the problem of the kernel and systemd doing it, of course.
