ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is your most useful Linux app which others might not know about (please don't just give the name but a link and why it is good for you) ?1·22 days agoThought you meant ‘app for Windows’.
Like mentioned here, I usually tap PrintScreen and then annotate elsewhere, usually in Gimp.

…but also Linux.

Was fun to turn off various advertising.
Would transmit 50-100 known IR-off-codes from a range of TV manufacturers.
ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•Daily driving a GNUIX or some of those super libre OSs.2·2 months agoYes, Trisquel GNU/Linux on 2 laptops, a desktop, and a HTPC. I’ve been using Trisquel for 15 years(since Awen release), after running Debian with non-free disabled for a while.
The laptops are Thinkpads from minifree.org which provides libreboot and ensures compatibility with libre firmwares.
Trisquel is Ubuntu, with all the non-free software and binary blob firmware removed. Hardware that does not have a fully free driver will not work.
It is an easy install, rock solid when using, and has a knowledgeable and helpful community.

The other libre distros I think about checking one day are Guix or Parabola. https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
I recommend everyone to have at least one fully free distro installed, just to experience what the original vision of libre computing is.

The WeeRide models are good for a toddler seat, that is positioned on the crossbar.
For bigger kids, probably need a behind seatpost model.
ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Getting super bored of most online/phone content, what do you do when you have a few minutes?1·2 months agoOK, disregard those phone based ideas.
I read it as if you were looking for content that is outside of most phone based offerings (nasty psychologist created addiction loops etc.)

Bike riding is excellent for a physical and mental reset. Rear-radars are a thing, beeping when a car is approaching behind from 150m.
Badminton is great too. Portable cheap nets are available with telescopic poles.
Boardgames are great for social mixing.
Probably find something you like from these: Innovation, Inis, Port Royal, Just One, or Scout.

ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint3·2 months agoWas recommending this to speed up your next fresh lab install. :^)
ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint6·2 months agoCongratulations on your win.
Although it is fun to run around updating each PC individually, as the install numbers increase, Clonezilla can be helpful to multicast one OS image to many PCs in parallel.
ace_garp@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Looking for ideas: offline entertainment device6·2 months agoI tried out Kiwix this week.
It is a library manager for offline content.
A thousand downloadable ‘books’(1000s of GB) from Wikipedia, Stack Exchange topics, ebooks, kids books, prepper content, to the Blender Open Movies.
This is the easiest way to setup an offline library of quality content.
(It is not in FDroid, but installs via Obtainium just fine)

Maybe look at AARD2 as an offline Wikipedia browser too.
