  • If you don't mind what's the problem with the current implementation of 2fa?

  • I can see the addresses in Osmand but can't search them in the app

  • Dunno any, but if you maybe tell me the software you want to switch I can tell you the alternative available on both Linux and Windows if available.

  • The best way to switch imo is to first to switch some of your currently installed app on windows with others that have a linux version, so you will not be entirely lost when you switch os.

    For example Microsoft Office is not available on linux so maybe try libreoffice or onlyoffice, another example Photoshop doesn't have a linux version too.

    Then maybe try to familiarize with the os on a vm or on a live usb, especially on a live usb so you know what works out of the box and with your hardware.

    If you want to game look for you games on protondb if they work or not, for online games instead watch areweanticheatyeat to see if the anticheat work.

    Last tip is to go with a know distro not something obscure like steamos or kali linux, they are not meant to be used as daily drivers especially kali and can give you problems that will not occurre in other distro!

  • Because Pop OS comes with nvidia driver preinstalled! On Linux mint you can install the nvidia driver pretty easly but not as easly with them being preinstalled for you.

  • If you don't want to start from scratch just use it but don't install it on the pc!

    You can get familiar with the os by trying it on a virtual machine or in a live usb, and the windows partition will always remain untouched!

  • If you get a good experience doesn't mean it will be a good experience for everyone. It's not as bad as it was some time ago but it's not all cotton candy. (I use a 1060 on Linux btw)

  • Yes but it does have it's downsides, for example it can consume more battery and more computational power to do the same tasks of a native app or it's not compatible with every Android app out there.

  • Dude paint.net is not opensource other than that I don't know why you are being downvoted to oblivion.

  • The problem is that we don't have much native apps like android and ios.

  • I personally don't think it would replace osm, for what I just viewed on: https://bdon.github.io/overture-tiles/places.html overture poi are not really placed in the right spots and in my city there are some that are really ancient, so maybe that's why they don't want to contribute to osm directly, because they are not that good of a data, but they can become handy for a mapper that know the zone pretty well.

  • Even if of questionable quality it can be used by mappers to speed up their work, that's the same principle as rapid or mapillary, they help us speed up the work, or at least I used them this way (but I don't think everyone else would like to map every building in a city by hand), and if it's not the best quality we can modify the data and tweak the quality by hand, I don't import dataset on rapid as they are if they don't conform.

  • That API doesn't let you do everything tho, only a number of operations like embed Google Maps on their websites or apps, perform geocoding operations, get directions, and more.

    It doesn't give you direct access to the database!

  • Yes but other services provides you only the maps that's not the case on osm.

  • There is not one yet, the dataset got released yesterday. But you can use an OpenStreetMap based map Organic Maps f-droid PlayStore

    And if data is not available on that then maybe it's time to contribute on osm as well, thanks to StreetComplete!

  • Yes Linux support is not worth the trouble until you see the Epic Games launche is a CEF, that is literally a web app running in a browser and hear me out CEF is designed to be cross-platform.

    The only thing they should do is ship the app for linux and maybe add a proton menu in the settings and that's it! Valve as done most of the work for them.

  • If the license is compatible with the one used by OSM contributors can use the data to make their life easier, contributors of the dataset are encouraged to contribute directly to osm if possible.

  • But OSM is not a simple map but a database of data, what you see on their site is only an implementation of what you can do with the data.

  • No way dude. Thank you for sharing the info!
