From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Need a timer app or applet (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a timer applet that can go in the system tray where I can put in a time and it will count down and give me a notification when the time is up.

Might help if you said which DE

[–] Code@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I didnt mention a DE since I'm using i3 window manager. But yeah, something that can work with i3 or on the system tray

Have you tried these options or these ones? Literally any search term is giving plenty of results...

Can we have a search for xfce too, please?

[–] Shareni@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In relation to my post from yesterday or?

[–] Goun@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, It was a low effort joke related to the search being specific to a window manager.

I'd like to have a timer on xfce (tried one a while ago and was broken af,) but I haven't done an actual search.

Don't be sorry, this is like the first time I didn't get ratio'd for this type of comment.

Actually the second search should work for you as well (systray). But I just thought of an even better one. I am disappoint

Neat, I'll try digging a bit more on that later. Thanks!
