Linux@lemmy.ml•Solved: Switching from Windows, but slightly convolutedEnglish
6·8 days agoAs others have suggested it is probably smarter to just backup windows onto a portable hard drive, or you could do Windows2Go which is finicky but do-able.
Also you didn’t ask what distro, but I have been enjoying Fedora Kinoite it’s a very smooth transition (and improvement) from Windows.
This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a selfhosted option for webcomics?English

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Sometimes people like to complain about windows and iOSEnglish
1·1 month agoVery easy to use… once up and running. But there are other distros out there (Bazzite comes to mind as a good example) that “Just work” on a level even Macs can’t approach. Installation is the only “complicated” part but I’m sure we’ll see some manufacturers installing Bazzite by default in good time.

17·1 month agoNot defending the behavior in question, but Linux nowadays is MUCH simpler to understand than Windows or MacOS. It is by far the easiest operating system to change to, and the easiest to learn if you are somehow not familiar with any. From a user standpoint it’s the least “techie” OS now (aside from mobile OS of course).
What you describe about “needing to take courses” was true ten years ago, it was probably true three years ago. It is just simply not true now.

This is cool, I wonder if this could lead the way to podcasts being released on the Fediverse lemmy with comments directly under the release itself.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)?English
2·2 months agoAh ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.
KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn’t work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

1·2 months agoYou’re saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

1·2 months agoI mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.
It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.
