I've been messing around with #LXQT in a vm lately. I really kind of like it.

Is anyone using LXQT in a multi-head / multi-monitor configuration?

Any issues with where it defaults to placing new apps, resuming from screensaver or hibernation, adding/removing displays while running? Anything else I'm not thinking about?

I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.

There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.

For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.

And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

As much as I appreciate the rapid update cadence of #cosmic #desktop for #linux, it is quite puzzling that for each and every release (about 30 packages or so), at least one checksum will be off by 1 bit and cause the process to break. In all the years with #Gentoo, I've not had any other repo behave like that.

🪚 LosslessCut — программа для простого редактирования видео и аудио без потери качества. С открытым исходным кодом, основано на FFmpeg.

Обычные видеоредакторы всегда перекодируют результат, что занимает больше времени и снижает качество. Однако простые операции обрезки, склеивания, добавления и удаления потоков можно выполнять без перекодирования, для чего и предназначен LosslessCut. Кроме того, возможно изменение метаданных, создание скриншотов, определение тишины.

В связи с отсутствием перекодирования стоит иметь в виду следующие вещи:

• Обрезка происходит по ближайшему ключевому кадру, поэтому может быть неточной.
• Склеиваемые файлы должны иметь совместимые кодеки.
• При экспорте кодек должен поддерживаться выбранным форматом файла.

Для продвинутых пользователей поддерживается интерфейс через консоль и HTTP. Можно посмотреть список применённых команд FFmpeg. Документация

📥 Скачать LosslessCut: GitHub, AppStore, Microsoft Store, Flathub

Android’s desktop interface for Aluminium OS (Android 16) has leaked via a Google bug report, revealing a PC‑style UI on Chromebook hardware. 🖥️

Chrome with desktop‑like Extensions and a new status bar suggest a full desktop experience, raising fresh questions on data, telemetry, and user control. 🔍

This notification on Fedora Workstation is pretty annoying. It pops up every 5 minutes even though it already discovered the Printer on the network before. How can I fix it?

Damn it Julia, that's a perfect way of describing the two Linux desktop design philosophies: KDE/Qt is the Kiki world and gnome/Gtk is the Bouba world 😆

This is our first look at Google's Pixel-like camera app for Android PCs

Pretty barebone currently, but we can expect more features similar to existing Chromebook camera app

Also ich habe weiterhin Probleme #Threads im Browser am #Desktop zu nutzen, habt ihr ebenfalls das Problem?

One full week under the keel running Alpine Linux on my primary workstation. Even set root on a ZFS mirror - simple to setup. First experience with rEFInd as well - I like it.

Sharp and snappy, just like the way I like my cars! Ha!

No new revelations compared to the first few weeks on the test workstation... I'm still tweaking some things for personalization as it happens but all good.

The Alpine repos are full of good stuff and are current/up2date in a practical manner.

The only flatpaks I've had to run are Waterfox, Signal Desktop and messing around with the new CoMaps Linux version (this exists - happy! happy! joy! joy!).

I'm going to migrate my Debian Bookworm servers to Alpine when I get around to the upgrades. I'll keep clients on Debian for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure why I'm so excited about Alpine, it just feels like a breathe of fresh air! Modern and simple. Enjoying it.
