Okaaay, this is strange, but I couldn't make this work. However I started thinking that I am trying to do something strange and stupid.

Probably somebody could give me a hint. I was trying to make Fedora to use the same partition for "/boot" as ArchLinux does. Is that stupid?

#Linux #Question

Let's give it a try #Fedora31 #Linux

First part of thoughts on my switching to #windows and back to #linux

https://write.as/alexcleac/just-getting-done

The thing bothered me a lot on elementary works on fedora great as native. It's a possibility to switch typing languages as fast as possible. #linux

It is thursday, but I wanted to post my new setup. Good old #Fedora30, now with #xfce

#f30 #fedora #xfce #linux #unixporn #ScreenshotSaturday #ScreenshotThursday

The biggest trolling of #CentOS - a default nginx page that has a "Powered by #Fedora" badge.

By the way, at last I've found out, why sysadmins so much like CentOS among other #Linux distributions. It *is* really neat for servers

Which channels should I join on #IRC? I like #FOSS, #linux, #CLI applications and #programming.

(I am "alexcleac" there as well)

There is one more #WriteFreely instance. Now for #Linux kernel developers: https://people.kernel.org/

There are some interesting concepts and ideas at #WWDC I wish I had in #Linux for a long time.

For instance, possibility to use a tablet as an additional screen for a laptop. I know it is theoretically achievable, but it has to take some effort to do.

After spending really really lot of time playing games I've finally realized, why did I switch to #Linux as a daily driver at the first place. I switched from #windows because I spent too much time playing games and doing nothing valuable.

So it is the time to remove steam and do something valuable

Was talking to one of older colleagues who were professional developers, when #Linux raised.

Got an unpopular opinion that it was not that great people were speaking of it. There were more superior POSIX compillant OSes, e.g. #FreeBSD. Lots of features Linux has now were there about 19 years ago.

Why people are so obsessed with Linux then? Is it a hype, and in 10 years we'll call Linux an awful legacy?

Giving my laptop some hard time in recoding thing from mp3 to ogg. Also, first time in my life I found out that it is easier to write a #python script that to write #bash script to work with files with spaces. It took for about several hours to try making script in bash and about 15 minutes to write a python script that does literally the same, faster and more stable! #Linux #nerd #life is hard :D

I have a tmux session which lives for a week now. It is that session, where I manage my tasks, read news titles, browse mastodon and listen to music. It is awesome feeling to have most of things I do in #CLI.

Feel myself a #Linux #terminal #nerd

I found a fun way to get #viber running nice on #Linux. The algorithm works only with X11. Here it is:

$ xrandr --output <output> --scale .7x.7
$ flatpak run com.viber.Viber
$ xrandr --output <output> --scale 1x1

Now you have a viber window in nice DPI. Hate those messengers...

Switched intel_pstate to generic kernel driver and switched to conservative governor. Got additional ~30 minutes on battery.

And I thought that intel_pstate should be a default driver for intel-based CPU. But it seems that generic driver gives me more power and control over the CPU usage.

Love that thing in #Linux

Have been testing out #elementary in a virtual machine. Things I`ve learnt:

1. Try avoiding installation things not from recommended in AppCenter at system. Use the executable or AppImage if available (second is great, first is ok);

2. Probably there is no flatpak/snap support in AppCenter;

3. It can work on 2 GiB of RAM (but 4 is beter). But system should have at least 2 cores CPU;

4. #eOS has very different usage logic than Gnome despite is built on top of it;

5. Miss desktop icons.

#distro #linux

I just got that I didn't send my new look of desktop. Another my contribution to #screenshotsunday and #unixporn at fediverse

My current setup is based on:
#Fedora29 #XFCE #Linux

Found nice #GUI interface to deal with #QEMU on #Linux. It is named AQemu, pretty like it 😄

Managed out synchronisation of calendar for iPhone and laptop via posteo calendar service.

Still feel like #Gnome #Calendar is going to break the synchronisation after I restart machine. #Linux

Couldn’t find an affordable graphical #CalDav syncing calendar app for #Linux except gnome calendar, Evolution or KDE integrated or was not integrated into email 😒 I don’t want spend weekend making one 😬
