Linux@lemmy.ml•Advice for a Mac user switching to Linux?
1·8 hours agoThe MacOS specific ones like zooming out to show all active windows in a workspace, or flipping to the next app aren’t there because, well…that’s MacOS specific.
All the more universal ones like pinch to zoom, scrolling…etc are all there. I actually used an Apple TouchPad for years just because I had it around. Worked fine.
You can also run a simple plugin in Gnome to map custom gestures to whatever you want if needed.

2·13 hours agoYou must be using some junk touchpads then. I have two that work just as they would on a Mac. No issues.

131·15 hours agoGnome Desktop will be the most familiar UI and workflow for you. Other than that, just take note of your existing software stack, and check to see which will also have Linux builds to install.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What accessibility apps do you use (for the legally blind/totally blind)
5·19 hours agoNot sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

11·22 hours agoCorrect. They’ll usually just hold it at the front desk. Make sure it’s addressed as with something “Guest : Mr Johnson”

Linux@lemmy.ml•ProtonVPN tray doesn't work with Sway WM -- Debian 13
11·22 hours agoYou run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?
You can get a WiFi or LTE trail cam that essentially to works the same. If you get LTE though, you’ll almost certainly need a VPN setup on your network as well to work around CGNAT issues.

Linux@lemmy.ml•A modern and simple font (pre)viewing application seems to be an impossible thing …
41·22 hours agoAnd your user pattern doesn’t make my point any less correct or relevant. In fact… Not sure why you even commented in the fashion you chose to.

Linux@lemmy.ml•A modern and simple font (pre)viewing application seems to be an impossible thing …
171·1 day agoThese types of apps became fairly irrelevant with the advent of Web Fonts and sites that already do all of this.
There’s Fontbase, Gnome’s Font Manager, KDE’s Font Viewer and FontForge that are still maintained.
The fact that you’re asking for whatever tool to not use something like QT or GTK is asking for the moon here. These types of applications you describe are generally packaged with a DE for this very use. I don’t think there’s a real use-case for someone to develop this independent of any DE, honestly. That’s what they’re most useful for.

Linux@programming.dev•Linux replacement for MusicBee / music player?
2·1 day agoAmarok and Rhythmbox are close. Most players you’ll find are less on the media management side as they want to be low-profile, where Musicbee seems to intentionally be both.
Edit: There’s Strawberry as well, which is cross platform

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo)English
161·2 days agoI get that you’re aiming this at a user base of new folks and all, but I’m super confused to see Nix on there.
This is kind of…Nix’s entire identity, no?
One could also make the argument that this supercedes bootstrap tools that each distro has. Kickstart for example.
I would maybe focus on making helper scripts that do specific things for groups of users, like installing all the steam-* packages for Steam installs and not just steam itself since this is pretty opinionated on how you’re choosing to install things re: native package manager vs Flatpak and such.

Please explain how “Windows” and “Linux” manufactured these touchpads?
