Tab completion is the thing on linux, you can probably get something similar with zsh and it’s plugins, maybe with fish too.

Flameshot: screenshotting tool with everything you would ever need for screenshots

Best bet would be that something reloaded/changed the underlying ip/nftables bypassing ufw (ufw is just a frontend, I do not know if it periodically verifies the current rules are correct and it would feel extraneous to me if it did). Or it didn’t apply it correctly.

You can get the actual rules with iptables-save (dunno about respective nftables command)

These are fun

uh portable version?

If your primary usecase is going to be music (so a need for realtime capabilities for stuff like recording, VSTs and DAWs) then I do not reccomend immutable distros for a simple reason: you will probably/eventually need to hack something up to get it to work and at that moment, the immutability is just extra work.

As far as I have tried fiddling with the music stack on Linux (which is not that much), the whole pipewire/JACK/carla stack is a bit messy and I can’t imagine it working with flatpacks due to the sandboxing/permissions.

in that case you can grab any of the other distros that are Arch-based, EndeavourOS/Garuda/CachyOS and so on. You will get the benefits of rolling-release like fresh-er software without the need to setup & configure it yourself.

I just got myself second hand xtx for about 650 euro

Well one very good reason would be that their specification is closed source and as such not even HDMI Forum partner AMD can implement them in their open source driver.

DisplayPort spec is fully open btw.

played it on nix and it worked well in the beta, very cool game but the price tag is a bit steep

One is trying Bazzite the other one is just classic fedora

Two of my friends switched recently.
They had none to very little experience with anything Linux before, their previous win11 installs just over bloated and the copilot bullshit pushed them over. Both (indie/non-pop shooters) gamers btw.

This is the year of linux.

Mothership is really good btw

Deadly/dangerous to the environment. It’s supposed to be a dead tree and fish next to a river/water body.

Unsure how well known it is, but flameshot (screenshot tool).

I prefer CLI usually, so: zoxide, the zsh git plugin for aliases (e.g.: gst is git status), fzf zsh plugin and the tldr command comes in handy sometimes.

Also, this might be useful just for me, but due to orientation of my living space, I have to fiddle with monitor brightness at least three times a day so I made myself a little Qt tray wrapper around ddcutil’s ddcquery which can change standard vesa monitors brightness/contrast (DDC/CI communication).
There is also ddcui/gddccontrol GUI that does the same thing.

For cli oriented folks, ncdu is a great cli alternative of QDirStat

Friend just hopped to Bazzite from Windows.
I was hoping the atomocity would be a great boon - you kind of can’t break it right.

Well, he wanted to configure RGB lighting on his mouse but the flatpak openrgb did not work, supposedly the udev rules included in bazzite by default, are not up to date or there was some other problem.
As such we had to install openrgb the usual system-wide way, with rpm-ostree in terminal - something I was hoping he would never had to do.

Unless the vendor is rolling something super custom, for the communication TO the keyboard, it should use USB HID.

Start Wireshark, filter for hid, connect the KB and the first message should be a HID descriptor of the KB, look for Output Reports (it’s meant from the POV of the usb master) or Feature Reports.
Though, this will probably not yield much insight - vendors love to do the easy thing, reserve opaque 32x8 bytes as a “downlink” Output communication in the Vendor Usage Page and stuff their own protocol/encoding in there.

On linux I can recommend hid-tools for working with this, in windows I believe your only solution is Wireshark.

Happy Hacking!

E: About the already reversedsoftware, for logitech (and more) stuff, there is piper but you will want to look into the underlying daemon libratbag, there is also solaar

Yeah Nick (the guy behind this) is one of a kind (in a good way) lol

Also recommend checking out this demo of NotCurses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYhZ7myXyyg it’s great

I can’t do that even on PC, tried to delete dead LAN url many times, it always comes back
