FLTK 1.4 Released With Wayland & HiDPI Display Support on Phoronix (19 Nov 2024) in c/linux@lemmy.ml

You're right they do, I'm not sure where I got the idea that you couldn't run em but I'm sure I've got some error message about static linking before when trying to run a binary

Might've been whatever the opposite is (dynamically linked?)

Ah that's kinda neat. Doesn't statically linked mean it won't work on some systems though? Pretty sure static linked binaries don't work on nixos

What reason is there to use something like this over gtk or qt? I guess it's easier to work with?

The day I don't want to jump ship to the latest new tech is the day I stagnate into an old person

I imagine a single press of shift probably types A

Z on the other hand

Also why have a caps lock on a keyboard like this the only time I've ever touched it is for keybinds or by accident

Were there even any passengers on it at that point

Microsoft Teams is dog shit in c/technology@lemmy.world

So far every job I've had or seen the inside of has used teams

As with all things in business, good enough is king

I actually don't mind it being web based, there are a lot of web based tools that run perfectly fine and don't use that much resource

Teams is generally stable for me running the pwa in Microsoft edge nowadays too

Compatibility is the only real issue anymore (opinion/discussion) in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I switched a while ago.

Full office suite works fine on web including teams

I had switched to vscode from visual studio anyway so that wasn't an issue

The only big thing I think is missing now is Photoshop (krita and photopea exist) and games that have intentionally prevented themselves being run in Linux, which is a pretty good reason to vote with your wallet anyway imo

I do kinda miss being able to fuck around in Roblox every now and again but oh well

Is gaming with Coreboot (or any other open source bios) viable? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I'm not sure why it wouldn't be it doesn't change how Linux works does it?

what's a good distro for a razer blade 15? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Generally hardware compatibility should be identical across all distros, as most drivers are baked into the kernel

The exception being Nvidia drivers, you have to install those yourself pretty much everywhere

Lowest maintenance possible is probably gonna be bazzite as people are saying

UPDATE: I will stop using Linux / PC for 10 months. What do you think will happen in that period? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Any simple CLI method for playing a sound over mic in voice chats? (lemm.ee)
 

I've got this idea in my head that I want a tofi based sound board that I can summon on a button press (and maybe fuzzy find through)

Should be fairly simple to do with the way tofi works to make the interface, but as far as I can find there's not a quick and easy way to mix sounds in with mic input using pactl

Is there any single line solution for playing a sound over mic (like a soundboard would) anyone can think of or do I need to mess around with virtual audio devices to achieve this

Speedrun timers on self checkouts (lemm.ee)

Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window (lemm.ee)
 

Often find myself getting frustrated editing yaml, and it seems to be used everywhere for some reason I cannot fathom

I have an idea to write an editor plugin that will, when opening a yaml file, convert it to json (or some other less painful configuration language), then convert back on save. I don't know enough about yaml syntax to know if that's possible or if there's some quirk that makes them not completely cross compatible

Or alternatively if it exists a better CLI tool for editing yaml than just a normal text editor because I'm getting sick of pasting in a block of yaml and then having to fix the 8 indentation errors that somehow spawn from that

X11 tiling WMs (lemm.ee)

I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS

Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don't want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)

Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)

I'm also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect

Most of us hate Microsoft, and yet many of us use VSCode (lemm.ee)
 

I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting
