  • Which linux podcast do you guys listen to?

    Jump

  • I knew my ears were burning. Thank you for the shout out! :)

  • How can I quickly "unclog" firefox when it runs out of memory (with 1000/2000 tabs)

    Jump

  • Kodi and Emby. Ohhhhhh. ISOs. Ha! I knew exactly the types of sorting software that was coming when the idea clicked.

    "Search in all tabs" would be so awesome. I don't do 1000 tabs, but when doing research, I regularly have 30-40 I'm flipping through, and I tend to lose my place, know I saw something, and need that exact tab, and it's always a bit of a chore to track it down before I forget why I wanted the tab in the first place.

    I hope Firefox gets where you need it to be soon. I recently read the story of the 7000 tab person, so it's clearly a use case.

  • Those ISOs must go back YEARS! Same with the files! What sorting software helps keep track of all that?

    Notepad++ surely has some type of global search feature to help find the thought you saved for later, right? I'm utterly impressed with how much stuff you seem to have around, yet can still find and make sense of it. I would have long since buried myself under it all and given up.

  • You have 64GB RAM and that's still not enough for your browser. Wow.

    I've come away from this with only more questions. What does your Downloads folder/Filesystem look like? Do you have notebooks or any real world allocation of information? What's that like? What kinds of things do you keep in a junk drawer?

    Absolutely fascinating.

  • Can you suggest me some good Linux podcasts?

    Jump

  • I'm part of Linux User Space. We do history deep-dives and a whole lot of other Linux content. Most recently was Xz and LXDE/LXQt. We even have our own Lemmy instance :)

  • GNU nano 8.0 Released with New Options and Various Improvements

    Jump

  • The trick is to never get comfortable with Vim or Emacs.

    *taps forehead*

  • What's going on here? What's that smell? Smells like... empanadas...

    Jump

  • The real questions are “What are you filling them with?” and “How can I order two dozen?”

  • VPS provider Vultr Claims Rights to Sell Your Data & Programs

    Jump

  • Nothing. Apply Hanlon to the very original response to Vultr. It all works out.

    It’s Hanlon all the way down.

  • The History of KDE (From a little before 1996 to Plasma 6 RC1)

    Jump

  • That release schedule is a rabbit hole! We could probably do an entire segment just over 4.0. That would be something.

    Thanks for the work distraction. :)

  • The History of KDE (From a little before 1996 to Plasma 6 RC1)

    Jump

  • I meant to reply but kept getting distracted while typing it out. It's my favorite trait of mine. 🙄 Sorry about that. But when we sat down to record the following episode, we ended up talking about what you wrote..

    I really appreciate this insight. This is something we never would have gotten doing our normal digging. I have a lot of respect for folks like you for doing real hard work and still having it not quite work out the way you wanted.

    Thank you so much for sharing :)

  • AUA: We are the Plasma dev team. Ask Us Anything about Plasma 6, gear 24.02, Frameworks 6 and everything else in the upcoming Megarelease.

    Jump

  • Thank you so much for the info. I think I'll be grabbing a Neon ISO and give it a whirl on real hardware. Gotta do it right, ya know? :)

  • AntennaPod was my jam when I was on Android! I've heard it's only gotten better over the years.

    Jump

  • Thanks for the answers! You and the others on the team are doing a fantastic job of convincing me to not use any other desktop :)

  • What’s the best or recommended way to test out Plasma 6 RC2?

    And

    What has been the hardest problem to solve moving to Qt6?

  • The History of KDE (From a little before 1996 to Plasma 6 RC1)

    Jump

  • Now that's some high praise! Thank you 😊

    There's also an audio-only version in case folks are more of a listener than a watcher.

  • Locked

    Plasma 6 RC2 is now out! Ask Us Anything about this release and the upcoming Megarelease in general TODAY, Jan. 31, on Reddit and Lemmy at 6 pm UTC

  • Firefox Is Going To Try And Ship With Wayland Enabled By Default

    Jump

  • I suppose it really depends on when you tried it. Ubuntu 23.10 has been working quite well on Wayland. I haven't once failed down to X, and the only papercut I run into now is with differently scaled displays (100% and 150%) where OBS will crash the session when moving back and forth.

    Everything else seems good as I haven't really seen anything else break at all and I use Firefox, Kdenlive, Audacity, lots of chat apps, and played some games. Specifically, playing Vivaldia 2 while I was remotely compiling Gentoo using OBS to livestream.

  • Firefox Is Going To Try And Ship With Wayland Enabled By Default

    Jump

  • There really isn’t one. Wayland is maturing and app support is following.

    This is the way things always go in open source. I’m betting soon there will be a distro that will announce a never Wayland stance just like Devuan prior.

  • Seems they need some updates. OBS, Zoom and Xfce are all happy to work toward Wayland, and OBS/Zoom both work pretty well on it, so 🤷

    And no telling what else has changed since; checks notes; 2016?
