    There's an easy way to get rid of the ads throug the router settings, but I for one have no intention of sharing that secret with the Crapindows users. :D

    I used to edit the source code of gnome-screenshot in order to remove this cheesy flash BS but later they did something to the libraries to force that crap on the users, so I uninstalled that and moved to scrot. As I like to say often - the person who will impose their vision of how things should work and happen on my computer hasn't been born yet. That was the only time I edited a code. Oh, wait, no, there's one more - I edited the xkb symbols files for BG and US layouts and those were originally written in C++ but they weren't compiled.

    Yeah... thanks, but no, thanks. LOL I already tried 6.0. Here's why I'm staying with 5.19 for a long time to come: https://lemmy.ml/post/576205/comment/327710

  • Nitrux 2.5 Is Here as One of the First Distros Powered by Linux 6.0 and KDE Plasma 5.26
  • Valso Valso Now 66%

    Holy krap, that's a disaster! Kernel 6 with the most bugged desktop in the world of linux - it's not gonna end well for some of the users. Kernel 6 turns off and on the LAN card whenever it feels like it, with that kernel X doesn't want to start most of the time (especially when resuming from suspend), add to all that the desktop environment full of never fixed bugs at every corner (so to speak) and you have a recipe for a disaster.

    I know that option but it works selectively. Definitely never worked for YouTube (I had to use an extension to disable PiP) and it never worked for any news sites, such as NBCNews. That setting is disabled and yet:

    I know some of us linux users use SMPlayer not just for movies but also for watching YouTube videos on it. If you watch just one or two videos a day, that's fine, but if you watch everything through it, it can be tedious to copy every single link, then open SMPlayer and open the "add link" function. About a year ago or so I discovered this cool extension which is intended primarily for browsers only but in reality it can be used for any program, probably even for PC games, altough I haven't tried that yet. :) The extension's name is "Open With" and it does exactly what the name suggests - opens a page with another application that can accept URL addresses. It sends the address to another application which is what makes it perfect to watch videos with your favorite video player. All you need to do is install the extension, open its settings and follow the instruction there to make it work. It's best if you put the python file inside ~/.mozilla, so that you don't have to worry about the file ever being moved somewhere else. The extension is supposed to work on both Linux and Windows but I've never been able to make it work on Windows. After that it's pretty simple - click "Add browser", navigate to smplayer.desktop or vlc.desktop in /usr/share/applications (local applications also works, if you have placed a .desktop file there), navigate to the icon for your video player and that's it! Now you can open YouTube in Firefox, right click on any video and select "Open With" --------> your video player. ![](https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/165ea0ea-4643-47b7-b2ae-4290760dd91f.png)

    Snap actually sucks. This isn't even a meme.
  • Valso Valso Now 100%

    Snap, flatpak, even appimages don't always work, so all 3 suck. Everything I have ever installed from snap or flatpak has never ever run (click the .desktop file and the program doesn't run), sometimes even appimages won't run, whereas anything compiled from source runs just fine 99% of the time. I hope that the Arch team NEVER even considers adding these 3 garbages, otherwise I'll have to look for another distro, which is gonna be extremely painful.

    IDK about that year but yesterday was my Day of the Linux desktop. After 7 years of dual booting, I finally had enough of Microshit's crap and deleted Windows and everything related to it - ISO files, activators, Win installation and converted all the drives to ext4, to make sure there's no trace left of that idiotic OS.

    That gaming revolution wouldn't have happened, if they hadn't made SteamOS Arch-based first, bc gaming on Arch is a lot easier than on any other distro.

  • Is there an easy to use Wine GUI to install .exes?
  • Valso Valso Now 100%

    I've tried many times to run games with lutris and it never worked - no game ever ran, they only spit tons of errors. So I found a better and easier way for myself - simply put the DXVK files in the directory with the exe file and run the game. That's it - it works in 90% of the cases which is a lot higher percentage than trying with lutris or POL.

  • Valso Valso Now 100%

    Right click on the exe, go to "open with..." and select "Wine Windows Program Loader". This will set WWPL to be used for all EXE files. From there all he needs to do is to double click the EXE and it will install just like in Windows - no need for overrated disasters like Lutris or POL.

  • Valso Valso Now 100%

    Recently pamac-classic was finally fixed and I was able to finally install pacman 6. Turns out that the paralel download function is even better than I thought. :D The update process happens so fast that I can't even see what's happening in the terminal. :D Speaking of which, I also noticed that the process "mkinitcpio -P" happens about twice faster than before. :D :D Bottom line - I love pacman 6! :D

    From all DEs I've ever tried, only Cinnamon met my needs and requirements - highly customizable (almost limitless) and also this is the only DE that can run apps from any other DE whereas the other desktops can't brag about the same.

    It's not hard, I've done it several times - especially when packing a large archive at maximum compression with p7zip (and the flags -mx --mmt=8; -mx means maximum compression level and mmt=8 means "use 8 threads") - 30GB or larger. RAM goes 15-18 GB, the CPU goes at 100%. What's interesing is that if I do the same in Windows, my PC will literally die and become useless whereas 100% CPU in Linux and I'm still able to use my PC normally as if I'm not doing anything. :D Which is why Linux is my main OS.

    Is there a way to block seeing posts in certain communities?
  • Valso Valso Now 100%

    There is but it's not easy. I'm using uBlock Origin's filters to hide content in different websites and forums. For instance, this filter hides content from blocked users in that forum: www.kaminata.net##.post.has-profile:has([id^="post_hidden"][class="ignore"]) But as I said, it's difficult to do it on your own. In order to have this filter I asked in uBlock Origin's reddit and they gave me the filter. You'll have to ask them to register here on lemmy.ml for them to see how it works in order to give you a working filter.

    I just tried my theme on Thunderbird and it works perfectly! Which IMO is a good thing for what Mozilla have done - thus we won't have to create a separate theme for Thunderbird. :D

    Hi. I wanna make octopi behave as close as possible to what pamac was, meaning that I want it to display only the packages with available updates. Atm it displays all installed packages and on top of that it ignores the pacman.conf feature "ignorepkg" and displays waiting updates for packages that I've added to ignorepkg. So, what I need help with is: 1. How to make octopi display only packages waiting for updates? 2. The above but WITHOUT displaying new versions for packages that are in the ignorepkg list.

    I guess I'm one of the few who like the new shape of tabs. I only missed the compact mode but I found a way (on the internet) how to bring it back. Then I restored my old theme and uploaded it to Mozilla for sharing and I'm happy. :D Here's my theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-and-brownish-theme/

    Small problem with applying themes to the website

    I noticed that when a theme ("Darkly", in my case) is applied after clicking "save" and then the user clicks somewhere else, for instance on "Communities", the page becomes white again. One must refresh the page for the dark theme to be applied and become permanent. It's not a big deal to me but someone could think the themes are not working.

    Hi, guys. I'm wondering if there's any way to limit the download speed from within Arch? I have made settings for that in the router CP but they don't seem to work bc Arch is completely ignoring them and keeps downloading with the full bandwidth it can get. The thing is that our IPTV is from another provider which is why I need to leave some bandwidth for the TV. When I'm downloading something directly (meaning from FTP or TCP), even if it's just for a fraction of the second, the TV dies instantly. That's why I need to limit the download speed somehow - preferably from within Arch.

    [suggestion] Alphabetical sorting

    Hi. Can you make the list of communities (https://lemmy.ml/communities) to be able to be sorted alphabetically? I wanted to view all of them alphabetically but when I clicked "Name", nothing happened. Alphabetical sorting should include ascending and descending order and that applies for the other options too - number of subscribers, users per month, posts and comments.
