Fedora 44 - the start menu takes WAY too long to find the right program? - Lemmy.World

I’m several months into my Linux journey and this is one thing that is driving me absolutely crazy because it legit just works on Windows and OS X. 1. I hit the start button 2. I type “note” 3. I hit enter. If I give it a full second between steps 2 and 3, Notesnook opens as intended. But if I hit enter at a normal speed, a game (Necesse) launches. This is presumably because it’s executing the command before the search finishes. Can I change this behavior? I use AutoCAD for a living so typing a command and hitting enter really fast is a habit I won’t be able to break.

Is there really no decent way to access a UPnP media server on Linux?

How to: Verify Github downloads?

How to: Verify Github downloads? - Sopuli

So I run Linux for a bit now but I am still not fully confident with downloading “random” Appimages or .tar archives (I don’t even know how to run/compile the archives but that is another problem lol) from Github or something. I try to verify the hashes or GPG signatures for all the programs but not every developer provides a latest.yml. I revently noticed sometimes Github shows a sha256 sum next to the files in the release tab but not in every repo and is this just a second layer or is this a substitution for the latest.yml? Is there something I am missing or should I not worry too much when using Appimages or Flatpaks because they are sandboxed anyways?

Any Workarounds for Running AutoCAD on Linux? - Lemmygrad

cross-posted from: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11347169 [https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11347169] > In my CAD class, the instructor requires explicitly AutoCAD because “that’s the industry standard.” As we know, AutoDork are a bunch pricks who refuses to get up from Microslop’s lap, so I am in a tight spot rn. > > Should I use a VM to run or would ACAD Web do the trick? Honestly, I can even try to push my luck with another CAD program that supports .dwg files.

How to stop Bazzite KDE from auto dimming 2nd screen? - SLRPNK

Whenever a dark page or a video gets too dark, the 2nd screen is automatically dimming, which can be annoying when watching dark scenes or browsing/editing with dark mode How to stop it?

How do I interact with a git repo set up by docker compose in a persistent volume outside the container?

How do I interact with a git repo set up by docker compose in a persistent volume outside the container? - Lemmy.World

There’s a lot I don’t understand about both docker and git, so my question and description of the problem may not be as detailed as some would like. I’ve set up a container, Otter wiki [https://otterwiki.com/], via the docker compose file offered in the docs. This sets up a persistent volume outside the container where the wiki config and git repo containing the wiki’s pages live. Everything works fine. I can go to the site and everything works. But I want to add external files to the repo. When I try to do it, it throws an error saying I need to enter my email and user name. I do this, and it still says permission denied. I assume the instance of git that’s tracking the repo lives inside the docker container, but the repo itself lives outside the container. How do I add and commit files?

wrapping my head around waypipe

wrapping my head around waypipe - sh.itjust.works

I have a thin client I want to mess around with. My understanding is I can install a regular wayland based system on this and use waypipe to run the actual heavier apps on my linux server elsewhere and have it do the work here, but take inputs and show the results on the thin client. So it would be interacted with like a normal app but the actual work would happen on the server. How well does this actually work? I know we have sunshine for things that need the GPU but like, if I pull up chrome and watch youtube, woudl waypipe keep up with that?

Lock up problem - Lemmy.World

Hi guys, been having a problem for a week now in fedora 43. After half an hour of light use, my kde keyboard starts crashing at regular intervals, the taskbar is unresponsive, and the shutdown greeter will crash if i try to restart or shut down. I have to power cycle the system to turn it off, not the best. Looking for anyone also experiencing the problem has not yielded any hits, so I’m posting here 😅 Thus far i have tried: -Restarting -Disabling Firefox video decoding (closest fix i could find in searches) -Rolling back to my previous Friday backups The issue persists 😓 I don’t know enough about Linux to troubleshoot the problem effectively 😅

What would you say is the most, "it just works" distro?
