Laptop is Fedora Workstation. Here I use Brave for logins and LibreWolf+UBO is my main "forgetful" browser.

Phone is GrapheneOS - I also use Brave for logins. Ironfox is my main browser which comes with UBO preinstalled plus a few extra blocklists which I did add to LibreWolf..

Librewolf and Ironfox are synced through a Mozilla account.

I've done so many times, thanks.

Users have been asking for more Linux support for years and barely anything changes.

No. I'm too lazy. :-)

Pay for drone strikes on all the world's dictators.

That is what I have installed. What I'm looking for is for Proton to stop expanding until all platforms have the same features for all their services.

The CLI app is barebones. I know this is said a lot about Proton services (at least on Reddit) but it's true on Linux. No split tunnel, app shuts down when I turn off my display, and the connection is very unstable.

I've used Collabora from F-droid. There is an online suite I used to use but can't remember the name. I'll see if I can find it.

CryptPad is the online one I've used. The docs can be downloaded and edited/viewed offline. CP is far easier to use than Collabora.

Only that which has evidence to support it.

Sync on Android (sh.itjust.works)

Anyone else having sync issues on Android? Sync will happen if I go into settings and hit "Force synchronization".

If the devs didn't break auto sync in the android app I would consider this good news.

There are more idiots. Flatearthers, space deniers, antivaxxers. The more information people have access to the less intelligent society seems to get.

Surveillance Capitalism is getting more out of hand every year. Combined with more data breaches it's not great.

My mother has one of these. She loves it.

Squatting daily is too often. Your body needs time to recover. The older we get, the more recovery time we need.

This was an ongoing thing during the later years of Covid ... at least in my country.

Hey everyone.

I'm new to Linux and Fedora Workstation is my first distro. I like it but feel it needs a little tweaking. The screenshot is my desktop as I type this.

I installed "Extension Manager" and the following extensions - "Dash to Dock" and "System Monitor"

  1. Dash to Dock converts the Dash to a Dock with auto hide capability as well as being able to move the dock and change the icon sizes. Not necessary but it is annoying after a while moving the mouse to the dash, expecting it to popup and it doesn't. 'Oh right, now I have to hit that key'
  2. "System Monitor" shows the real time CPU load, memory, swap, upload, and download. I installed this to see how this used laptop, Levono T470s, handles Linux. So far, it's awesome.

Extension Manager also allows me to tweak the built-in system extensions.

  1. "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" (that's a mouthful). This one shows minimized app in the top bar.
  2. "Window List" is the bottom bar showing the currently open app.

There are pages full of extensions but I'm happy with what I installed.

"GNOME Tweaks" is another app I'm using. With this I was able to add Maximize and Minimize buttons to any open window (there are many other options) as well as pick a few apps to start with system boot. Normally, ProtonVPN has to be started with a terminal command at each system boot. GT does it for me.

Edit: I recently switched from a Samsung S6 Lite Android tablet with a Logitech keyboard and mouse to a used laptop running Linux.
