I just saw a DistroTube video with this question. Quite a thought provoking question [for this seasoned distroholic at least].

"What's the hardest Linux distro you've tried?" can be interpreted many ways, and I wonder what kinds of answers we'll get.

Especially these days, with much change underfoot and newer users having a different distrosphere to explore...

What's the hardest Linux distro you've tried?

Chrome version 154.0.8037.57-1 updated its statically linked libfontconfig, and now its cache is stomping on the user-level font cache.

To fix this, press Ctrl + Alt + t to open a terminal, and run

rm -rf ~/.cache/fontconfig

And then reboot.

Note that opening Chrome (or a Chromium-based program) will break it again. I edited my ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome-beta.desktop to do this:

Exec=env XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/user/.cache/chromecache/ /usr/bin/google-chrome-beta %U

Your windows, on a conveyor belt.

Konveyor turns Plasma into an endless, scrollable row of windows. Nothing overlaps, nothing gets buried, and the rest of your desktop stays exactly the way you like it.

Pretty nice project I just found out about. Love to see people creating tools like these (and Cosmic) to allow users to find a middle ground between classic floating desktop environments and standalone window managers.

A few days ago i made a post on various platforms sharing my software ScreenGuard which received mixed reviews every where , since I AM using it for myself i decided to take in the reviews and am working towards adding necessary features and primarily polishing up things that were left behind and can have some 1st time setup hiccups.

The new features-

* Settings menu added

General tab(control notifications and sounds)

- add notification sounds(custom options too)

-toggle sounds and notifications for various causes

- dark mode(asked bby a few people so added the option)

Tracker Daemon tab

-stop background daemon

- toggle autostart of daemon on boot

- warning when daemon is off Pomodoro timer tab

- Turn on pomodoro in focus mode settings (fixes the unbaked settings of focus mode in v0.1.0 -set break between pomodoros

- no of pomodoro loops

* Daily limits can now be set instead of the fixed 8hr daily limit bug with v0.1.0

* Several changes to Daemon, including some minute layout changes to optimise resources while adding the newer features which are Stated above

Note: this is a beta release and will NOT be pushed to the APT ,COPR AND ARCH repositories for casual users, this is meant for testers and people eager to help me out find the bugs and tiny issues here and there AND YOU CAN HAVE A LOOK INTO THE CODE IN THE BETA BRANCH OF THE REPOSITORY, it hasn't been pushed to main branch to keep it clear until bugs are fixed.

Putting shit in your food is OK as long as it is only a little bit of shit and you can't immediately taste it.

corsaro is a script written in Bash that allows the user to search for torrents in the terminal .

The functions and the data are taken from https://piratebay.live/

Opening the script, the user through the main menu, can:

• Search for a torrent

• Search for a torrent in a category

• Search for a torrent in multiple categories

• Check out top 100 torrents in a category

• Browse torrents in a category

• Browse the most recent torrents

• Repeat previous torrent search

• Browse torrent search history and repeat a search using a stored key word

• Configure the parameters of the script

Relevant to SteamOS and open-platform gaming, it proposes a different paradigm for Linux-based distributions and operating systems, one that could address compatibility issues on alternative platforms that Windows users often take for granted.

EDIT: added a QnA section that tries to answer some of the questions posed here.
