New Linux user here. Is this really how I'm supposed to install apps on Linux?

Jump

  • Download the .deb from their downloads page and run it, just like you would either a .exe on Windows. Their instructions list that as an option further down on the page. Should be higher up imo

    • Better than Disney+: Jellyfin on my NAS

    Jump

  • Seconded. Love OMV

    • YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers

    Jump

  • I will abandon windows when the games can all be played on Linux properly.

    I feel you there. I'm just about at that point, although I also need better support for music software (FL studio, VSTs, etc) and hardware before I can fully switch.

  • Some users are even going as far as to switch to a new browser.

    As someone who changes browsers regularly on a whim, I love how big of a deal this is to the average person.

    • What the !#@% is a Passkey?

    Jump

  • Passkeys are asymmetric, meaning that the server only ever sees your public key. If the server gets breached, then only your public key is leaked, which isn't a big deal. Functionally, it's almost identical to SSH keys.

    • Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?

    Jump

  • Open Media Vault (OMV)! I was given a used QNAP NAS, but didn't want to use their OS. TrueNAS has higher system requirements than what I had and Unraid is paid. OMV has been a dream! Having the flexibility of a full Debian OS, but also with the prepackaged software I need, it amazing. Plus, I love the web UI. At the time of writing this, I have 12TB of usable space with 3 months of uninterrupted uptime.

    • The cult of Obsidian: Why people are obsessed with the note-taking app

    Jump

  • Check out this plugin for it!

    https://www.make.md/

    It's goal is to lower the barrier to entry for obsidian substantially.

    As for different use cases, you can create different "vaults" for different applications. For example, I have a vault for work, and a vault for personal. They're basically just different folders on your computer, but it helps keep differentiation.

    • YouTube's anti-adblock rollout has finally arrived for Firefox users

    Jump

  • They can still track you by other data such as IP, user agent, and system info. I don't know that they're doing this for sure, but I have a hunch that they are. It's google lol
