Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Canadian here. I'll welcome anyone who voted against Trump.

Those who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all can die in a ditch.

What computer life hacks are your most used? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

In a browser I right click on a bookmark folder to open all the bookmarks in separate tabs. I usually do this with my social sites.

To update Fedora "sudo dnf upgrade". I used to use the software store but that often requires a reboot.

Windows+L to lock the computer.

I always have my vpn, terminal window, and qbittorrent start at boot.

The updates will take a little longer that is all. GOS is not in the same boat as other custom rom devs - they don't have build trees either.

GOS is talking to a couple of OEMs about getting a GOS phone produced.

Switch to Linux and keep using your current computer. Tell Microsoft to pound sand.

I bought a Pixel so could install a degoogle OS on the phone. This largely removed Google from my life.

Born and raised in Halifax, NS. Some winters are better than others.

West winters for sure. I was thinking of heading north for a bit.

I would have left when they started making moves to become said dictator.

ProtonVPN - Any plans of creating a .rpm app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

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.

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".

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.
