Just another guy on the internet. Interested in everything.

I mute most news bots. Sorry I just don't like them in my feed.

My opinions are mine alone, they do not represent any community, company or institution.

To be honest, the built in AI stuff in FireFox didn't really bother me.

The sidebar chat thing, I just right clicked and it had a remove option. The context menu's ask chatbot option also had a remove option. That was it. No more chat bot.

In my opinion they did the right thing here. Implemented AI to keep up with other browsers but did give a GUI button to disable all that.

@MsDropbear42 There can sometimes be three deployments. I have certainly seen it. I don't know why it happens though.

@hadokowa If that is the first Flatpak you are installing that uses GNOME Platform, then yes it is going to install GNOME Platform. Tuba also needs various codecs to play video/audio.

If you later install an app that has the same dependencies, then it will only install the app.

@hbons Congratulations 🎉

@jwcph It is a desktop, but it isn't linked to the Desktop folder like other desktop environments. The buttons at the top left corner open the Overview. You can switch virtual desktops (called workspace) and launch apps from there.

The idea is that most of the time you will be working with an application. So having something on the desktop is not necessary. Also GNOME's workflow is heavily relied on multiple workspaces. Use them to organize apps.

@OrionKidder My recommendations.

1. Enable RPMFusion:
rpmfusion.org/Configuration

2. Configure multimedia codec/ffmpeg-full support:
rpmfusion.org/Howto/Multimedia

3. Disable fedora flatpaks (fedora's own flatpak remote):
[Terminal command]
sudo flatpak remote-delete fedora
sudo flatpak remote-delete fedora-testing

4. Enable Flathub:
[Terminal command]
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.fl

Always select flathub on the Software store if available. Try to avoid the terminal.

Lord of Mysteries is an amazing anime! Every aspect of this one has just blown me away!

The story, the world building, the mysteries, background music and last but not least the animation. Might even be the best animation I have ever seen.

Wikipedia says it will have 6 more seasons and a movie spanning till 2035. I don't know where I will be by then or if I even be alive or not. But I will eagerly wait for each and every episode.

@Linux_Is_Best I would like to suggest "Lord of Mysteries" to you (assuming you haven't watched it already). It's an anime with amazing visuals and world building. If you like mystery then I'm sure you'll like this one.

@mirkobrombin You can choose any accent color in KDE, it has a color picker for that. Also there is an option to auto pick accent color from current wallpaper.

@Linux_Is_Best Heavy protection! I use Control D no ad-block, and open YouTube links with mpv.

@passthejoe Go with Aurora. Try out ublue and KDE at the same time.

KDE's overview is amazing! This completely changes my workflow.

The Application Dashboard widget gives full screen app selection (and much more!). It's much easier than the Application Launcher widget.

@RichardJActon Oh that's right! *hits himself on the head*

Thanks for the info!

2025-10-13

@RichardJActon Yes! But three fingers up and down isn't used for anything as far as I know. So that can be used for overview maybe?

But that's probably just my muscle memory speaking. I don't mind using 4 fingers. I'm sure the devs had some reason not to use three fingers up and down.

After 7 years of service (since 2018) laptop's battery is running at half of it's original capacity. I should probably replace it.

Screenshot of a laptop’s Energy settings window showing battery details. The internal Dell battery is charging at 57% with a health of 53%. The battery’s voltage is 8.42 V, consuming 16.39 W. Remaining energy is 18.05 Wh out of an original capacity of 60.00 Wh. The window also shows a connected AirPods Pro headset battery at 10%.

@pyte OH!! It is 4 fingers by default! Thank you so much.

KDE has an overview? I can even add infinite virtual desktops like GNOME.

Great!!

Three finger touchpad gestures for the overview would be nice though (not implemented yet?)
