  1. 🚀 "Quickemu" promises you can create #virtual #machines faster than you can say "Why am I doing this?" 😅 #Enthusiasts will rejoice at yet another convoluted method to run three operating systems on one machine, because clearly, that's what everyone has been clamoring for! 🙄

  9. @therealahall I am in kind of the same situation, I am starting the process of transitioning from a #Mac to a #Linux system running #Ubuntu 24.04 (but I also installed #QuickEMU so I can run a different distro or even Windows or @MacOS in a virtual machine if I really want to). Some things seem to work fine but differently enough to be maddening, for example I run Firefox on both systems and have it configured pretty much the same (so links open in new tabs) but if I send a link to Firefox in MacOS from another application it opens the link in a new tab AND brings Firefox to the foreground. In Ubuntu it still opens the link in a new tab but Firefox remains in the background, so I think nothing has happened and click the link several times (each time opening yet another tab that I don't see) until it dawns on me that this is Linux and I have to click the Firefox icon in the dock.

    In MacOS I an used highlighting a media file or image or text file in Finder and hitting the spacebar and having it display in QuickLook. In whatever Ubuntu's equivalent of Finder is, that doesn't happen.

    For a terminal program I am using #Tabby but while it is pretty good it is no #iTerm2. Again it's little things that just work in iTerm2 that don't in Tabby. I have heard there are better programs, I would like to find one that lets you display your profiles in a sidebar like iTerm2 does (so you can just double click` on one to open a new tab using that profile).

    For Mastodon I am trying #Tuba but what I don't like about it is it doesn't save your place in the (home) timeline so you can go back to reading where you left off, reading oldest to newest.

    For a #RSS reader I am trying Fluent Reader (in place of Vienna in MacOS), it is okay but I wish that in Magazine View it would give you the choice to display the full text of articles, like Vienna does. Also it doesn't have an option to let you undo a "mark all read" operation in case you do that by mistake.

    In place of Little Snitch I am using #OpenSnitch, it seems to work quite well other than that it doesn't honor the system theme.

    I use #Joplin in place of Apple Notes and highly recommend it, I have been using it now for quite some time.

    I use #Timeshift and #BackInTime instead of Time Machine to do backups, don't really get why you're supposed to use Timeshift for system backups and BackInTime for home directory backups but they seem to work so I am okay with them. If you are looking for something that looks more like Time Machine there is #Cronopete but I am not sure if it is still being actively developed.

    At the moment it just seems like there are a bunch of small annoyances (such as notification sounds not being loud enough in some applications even though the system sound volume is all the way up). In time I am sure I will work through several of them (and already have done so with some, such as finding the Gnome extension that puts system notifications up on the upper right of the screen instead of the middle, and another that actually makes them stay on the screen long enough to be read!) but I have several things I am trying to get done at once so for the moment getting Ubuntu fully configured is kind of on the back burner. Anyway, if you find any apps you think do a great job of replacing equivalent MacOS apps I would be interested in hearing about them!

  14. I guess #Quickemu isn't quite ready for my usecase. Back to #Libvirtd I go.
  15. @wimpy welcome back! Looking forward to your messages about all the cool developments you do etc...
