Man where was this post when in was DMing? lol.

This is super cool though. Rn I’m doing some film editing work for my friend, and this could probably be useful for subtitles too. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. I tried Fedora first, then Pop!OS, and then settled on Kubuntu.

Kubuntu has been the most stable so far, no big issues. I chose it for that and its Wayland support. Snaps can be disabled or even have auto update turned off which is what I did and I had no real issues with Ubuntu past that so overall a good distro.

Widely supported, plenty of tutorials, has my favorite DE as a spin, it just does what I need it to.

DLSR camera is what I meant yea. That makes sense.

What camera do you use? This looks really good.

Not huge but for context, my most recent post of my cat was a little over 300KB

I’m guessing this was shot on a DSLR?

Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.

But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.

I found this very entertaining lol. And it also confirms I made the right choice not using Nix as my daily driver. This sounds like a headache.

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these “providers” getting free money for shit they dont even do.

You speak only truth. I love my brother printer. And HP printers are garbage.

Or they would be if they existed.

Well it doesn’t look like an HP printer at least. Emma is very cute.

Free my mans mister kitty. He looks so sad bro.

KDE connect can be good too but I like localsend for sharing files with any and all devices like when I’m moving phones and need to send a file to the new one or between my PCs. You’re not wrong though, KDE connect works well for fileshare too.

That looks great man. Those mashed potatoes look pretty nice as well.

Localsend is rad, super useful: https://localsend.org/

Send any file across different devices over the network. FOSS and fast. Highly recommend.

Since you mentioned having ADHD in another comment which I also have, some things that have helped me and may also help those without ADHD as well:

• Remove friction from everyday tasks whenever possible. If you make it easier to get stuff done around the house, you’ll have more bandwidth for other things.

• Setting alarms for things that you have to do is awesome. really helps with staying organized and just being on top of things. same goes for calendar reminders. keeping a calendar took me a while to get into the habit of but its super helpful.

• Anything you can have on autopay that you intend to keep like cell service, internet, utilities* etc. you should. It just makes sense rather than going through it each month for so many different things. *Utilities might not be good to have on autopay just in case you have weird discrepancies. one month I had to pay $1000 for electric. I called before I paid that lol.

• Use a credit card for small things each month to help build credit. i have a card that all its for is my cell service. Its on autopay as well as the payments for that card.

• Keep things in a cart for a while before buying them, it can help you to determine if you actually want that thing or really need it.

Also just cause others were talking about it, I find using videos as well a tutorials and documentation to all be helpful when troubleshooting/figuring things out, everyone learns differently and ADHD makes things like that harder. Having multiple ways to ingest that info can be helpful IMO. Not that anyone here is necessarily wrong in what they said, just coming from someone that also has ADHD, I get the struggles.

Idk, his head is a bit empty lol. Seems like the thing most on his mind is me and food.

Same here man. Was using an s20 for a long time and was generally happy with it but after moving to an s22 due to charging issues, I wasn’t happy with the way that Samsung changed things. I don’t like how they often try to force a Samsung account.

And I REALLY don’t like this. I should never have to look at baked in ads in my OS that I paid for. I don’t care if its just on the lockscreen because you know that’s only the beginning.

“Watch this 30 second ad to change your wallpaper”

No thanks dude.

Gross.

I’m currently in the process of moving everything over to a pixel running GrapheneOS and am glad to be doing so because of shit exactly like this.

I just want technology that does what I want it to and doesn’t spy on me. Shouldn’t be this hard especially if I pay for the product.

Anything to help a fellow Linux user my dude. I’m not as skilled as some of the other folks on here but I try when I can.

I think I saw someone mention hyperland which may be up your alley but you also mentioned you’d like to stay away from Arch so not sure if that’d work in this case.

KDE has changed quite a bit, you might like it better now. I think the recent changes have been good but I guess I dont change it as much as you might want.
