I love it. I used it alot in uni because it also allows for Latex.Pasting images is super simple too.

Which distro should I use? by jak0b in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] jak0b@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 days ago

I would go with Arch and i3. Dont use archinstall. Do it the hard way and you will learn alot about linux.

I also prefer i3 with minimal visual changes. I hate gaps, the rounded corners and animations when opening/moving windows. Sure it might look pretty on a screenshot, but using it is worse than a simple i3 that gets out of the way and you don't see it.

Just replace the potentiometer, they get rusty. I had the same problem restoring my grandmas old amp.

Does it make crackling noise while turning the volume potentiometer?

Hi, I want to share my fist app OnTime. It's a simple "traffic light" timer used by speakers at live events and conferences. Basically the color indicates the time you have left for your speech/presentation.

As far as i know it my app has been used at 3 conferences so far.

Would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

(Ps. This is my first post on lemmy, still learning it. I hope its ok to promote your own stuff here?)

Are OpenShot and/or Shotcut good video editors? by jak0b in c/foss@beehaw.org

[-] jak0b@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I use kdenlive and its great, but if you have low ram like me, make sure to save and reopen the project to clear up older clips from ram. I also reopen the project before rendering. Perhaps there is a better approach, but i have found this to work and prevent crashes.

Whole point of this "distro" is that it comes with bloat preinstalled?

A few exmples:

ChatGPT, Discord, Docker, Figma, GitHub, Google Contacts, Google Messages, Google Photos, HEY, Kdenlive, OBS Studio, Obsidian, Signal, Spotify, Typora, WhatsApp, X, YouTube, Zoom???

Wtf.... Why
