I switched to fedora some months ago and I've been really enjoying it. Maybe worth a shot.

When did he ever talk about those things? Did I miss something?

That could be done after the user enters both the email/username and password
Edit: sorry, I think I misunderstood what you said, but if someone is using something like "sign in with google", we've had separate buttons for that for ages.

What's up with giant corporations and guilt tripping people into switching to dark mode? I've heard win11 does this as well.

I now have two gpus, but I've run single gpu passthrough for a long time without any issues. However, you have to keep in mind that some software (such as anticheat for games) will refuse to run in a virtual machine.

There is a shell option for this (at least in zsh): setopt autocd
. This allows you to change directories while omitting the cd in front

I already have a constant ip on the vpn I still don't get it, sorry

IMHO arch is way too overrated. It does include a lot of stuff in the repos that others don't have, but the benefit end there in my opinion. My experience on fedora has been way better.

How would I use that in this situation? I don't get it. I already have a vpn set up to communicate between the two devices, and have been successfully running multiple services in this configuration for about a month. It's just XMPP that I'm having trouble with.

The vps communicates with the rpi through a vpn.
I have not heard of duck dns nor lstio, but I'll check it out when I get home.
Hi all, As the title suggests, I'm trying to run an ejabberd (xmpp) server behind an nginx reverse proxy. The reason is, I want to be able to run the server on my raspberry pi at home, but have people connect to it through my VPS, which is running nginx. This would be nice because I don't need a static ip and I don't have to leak my ip address. I have looked this up, but have not found an answer that works exactly for my use case. My current nginx configuration looks like this: ``` stream { upstream xmppserver { server 10.8.0.3:5223; } upstream turnserver { server 10.8.0.3:3478; } map $ssl_preread_alpn_protocols $upstream { "xmpp-client" xmppserver; "stun.turn" turnserver; "stun.nat-discovery" turnserver; } server { listen 6969; proxy_pass $upstream; proxy_protocol on; } } ``` And I have a DNS entry telling XMPP clients to contact my server at port 6969 (this was just for testing): ![](https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/8566e425-c33e-40ad-b94b-2359653d05d3.png) I would also need to figure out how to supply ejabberd with the correct certificates for the domain. Since it's running on a different computer than the reverse proxy, would I have to somehow copy the certificate over every time it has to be renewed? Thank you for your help.

I do have one for my family, but everyone seems to forget about its existence when I don't mention it. So I am the only user right now.

There is some obscure/proprietary hardware that doesn't play nicely with linux. Fingerprint readers may not work on laptops, for example. I've had trouble with a trackpad in the past.

Gentoo. I say this as someone who used to daily drive it.
And arch too.

On the server side, as soon as you switch to a modified server software (even just bukkit) - it contains modifications to the original game, and as such, I don't think it can be considered vanilla.

I use a self-hosted vpn, because I don't want to expose anything to the internet. The ones I do want to, I haven't set up yet since it would require reinstalling my pi. But I do have a reverse proxy set up on a vps that I will use once I get around to doing it.

As long as you are okay with using the web versions of office, you can basically go with any distro, since all of them have at least a web browser and virtualbox in their repositories, as well as vs code. Jetbrains also works (I've only used intellij but I assume the others are just as easy to set up). I've never tried visual studio on linux though, not sure how well that works.

Most linux distros don't need any tinkering to get up and running (sometimes drivers can be an issue), and you definitely don't need to know any commands to get started. A good place to start is distrochooser.
There are GUIs (graphical user interfaces) for basically anything nowadays. However, I definitely recommend learning the commandline later down the line, since it can be really powerful in automating mundane tasks or unlocking power you didn't even realize.
As for customization, a linux system is built in a modular way, so given enough experience, you will be able to replace any part of your system you don't like. Be that the desktop environment, the kernel configuration or the init system (Don't worry if you don't know what those are yet).
Gaming is fine if you make sure everything you want to play is supported. Protondb is a nice database where you can look up how well your games run under linux. It's mostly the anticheat in games that have issues, not the game itself.
EDIT: Don't worry about what others think of the workflow that works for you. There will always be elitist assholes telling you to run arch when you encounter a problem. Just ignore them.

I personally love my pi 4 as a media server, it is capable of running jellyfin and navidrome just fine.
I also use it for klipper for 3d printing, I don't know if that is something relevant to you.

You can set exceptions to the cookie deletion in the security settings. I personally have everything I use frequently (invidious and stuff) to keep the login cookies. Or you can just completely disable that feature.

It's possible to run stable diffusion on amd cards, it's just a bit more tedious and a lot slower. I managed to get it working on my rx 6700 under arch linux just fine. Now that I'm on fedora, it doesn't really want to work for some reason, but I'm sure that it can be fixed as well, I just didn't spend enough time on it.

I don't think there's any reason not to use it. It's carefully curated, I haven't come across any malware on it (of course that doesn't apply if you add random repositories). Personally, whenever I need to download an app, F-Droid is the first place I check.

Nerd dictation is a simple to use and powerful voice-to-text utility that you can use to just type or you can script its output. In my experience it works quite well, although I don't really use it for dictation.

As someone who has daily driven gentoo in the past, I didn't see much benefit to compiling everything over my previous arch install. It was a mess to keep up long term and wasted a lot of power unnecessarily. I'm way more happy on fedora now.

Thanks! I just bought it.
Hello! I've had these headphones for a really long time now but it's really uncomfortable (see attached image). I've seen a lot of people recommend the replacement ear pads from Brainwavz, saying that it makes the headphones way more comfortable. But a lot of people are also saying that it changes the sound in a negative way. Now I'm not really an audiophile but I'd prefer if I could avoid altering the sound by a lot while making the headphones more comfortable. Someone also suggested the Shure SRH840A pads, which would be preferable since I could get it locally, but I'm not sure whether it fits on the ATH-M20x, since the seller's website says that it's only compatible with that model of headphones. Which ear pad should I buy?
