    [META] Question: only films, or also TV series?

    I suppose it's only films, but I wanted to ask, just to make sure. Some TV series are works of art, with amazing frames. The series *Severance*, for example, has [extremely beautiful shooting and frames](https://www.thewrap.com/severance-cinematography-explained). *Moderators*: feel free to delete this post – sorry for the outlier! But maybe a "films only" can be added in the sidebar?

    [IrfanView](https://www.irfanview.com) is a great piece of software for Windows. One of those "jack of all trades, master of none". It works as a simple image & video viewer and browser, can do simple and not-so-simple image manipulation, and even batch jobs, like conversion, on selections of images in folders. For Linux (and other platforms) there's [**XnView MP**](https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp) that offers extremely similar functionalities.

    Nothing happens when creating a new community

    In the past two days I've been trying to create a community, but without success. I insert the name (with the allowed characters), the display name, and so on. But when I click on `create` a spinning wheel appears for a second or two, then goes back to `create` and nothing has happened. I created two communities previously (10 days ago or so) without problems. I imagine it's just an effect of the current load for Lemmy.world, but wanted to ask just in case.

    PS: there's also another functionality of Klipper that I use from time to time: you can make the whole "killring" appear, and choose the entry you want to paste with the mouse: as you click it it's entered. This is also bound to a key (in my case S-w) and works no matter which window I'm in.

    Gotcha. Yes, haven't found anything that allows that specifically. But in my case I don't need to enable klipper; it's always active. No matter which windows I'm in, pressing C-v will paste whatever it's in the clipboard; whereas pressing e.g. S-v C-v will choose the previous item in the clipboard and then paste it.

    Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the 1st season, just like other commenters here. A preliminary reason could be that the story is very different from the book, which is one of my most favourite sci-fi books ever. But even simply seeing this series as something different from the book, if found it too cheap: the characters are half-stereotypes, the events are what you'd expect, usual blood and sex to attract viewers...

    Should go without saying, just my personal opinion and tastes. I'm happy that others enjoyed the series and I hope it'll made them curious to read the books.

    Yes this is the community with most subscribers I've found so far. I'm interested in a community where manga are discussed, recommended, and so on. At the moment the vast majority of the posts here ("[DISC]" – does that stand for Discord?) seems to be about announcements of new chapters, and I wonder if they're taking over a bit too much. Maybe it's possible to create a community specifically for announcements? Or any other solutions? – Only if other members share my point of view as well, of course.

    Software alternatives for Linux

    **NB**: According to some of the suggestions below, this post has been made into a community: <https://lemmy.ca/c/software_alternatives_linux> Hope to see many of view posting software alternatives there! Many members of this community are computer users who recently moved to Linux from other OSs, Windows in particular. Having established their work and hobbies on a particular software base, they often encounter difficulties trying to find similar software on Linux. I'd like this to be a sort of board where members comment about some software alternative they're looking for, and other members sub-comment with possible solutions. What's a solution? It's important to be broad-minded about this when switching to Linux: - **Exactly the same software could be available for Linux.** - **Different software but with similar critical features could be available for Linux.** - **It could be possible to use emulators (such as Wine) of the old OS.** - **Finally, one can change one's perspective or workflow, in such a way that the old software is not needed any longer, but is replaced with other software of a different kind (this may actually lead to much improved workflows).** *(Moderators: feel free to take over this post. Also please let me know if a similar board exists already here, so I delete this.)*

    Wow, that's the same reason I also chose the Nvidia gpu: for the vapour-chamber cooling (GeForce RTX 3060, lowest model that brought the vapour chamber). But I've noted a somewhat better performance with the Nvidia when watching videos. So now I have it on-demand. – But of course different people have different needs and preferences, so I totally get your settings.

    If you right-click on the Klipper tray icon, select "Configure..." and then "Shortcuts", you can assign shortcuts to move back and forth in the kill ring, and to paste. I have assigned S-v for backwards and S-C-v for forward. Then the usual C-v will paste. The tray icon also shows you the current selection (and the ones above and below) in the killring, as you move through it.

    And it isn't just a matter of numbers, but of content quality too. My impression is that those who are leaving Reddit for the fediverse alternatives right now are also those that create more meaningful and useful content. So the loss for Reddit is already much larger than the numbers tell.

    This also connects with the strange way of reasoning about "making profit", and with some comments I've read saying "did Reddit users expect a free lunch?". The point is that the value of Reddit comes exclusively from the content, and the content was given for free to Reddit by the users. Reddit was having a free lunch too. It'd be funny if people started to say "You want me to post and create content on this platform? Well pay me then".

    My main question is this: Is it worth switching to Ubuntu Pro? Actually I see it's free for personal use on one computer. I'd be curious to hear the experience of those of you who switched, and also the motivation of those who didn't switch. This question is partly related to another one: I'd like to economically support Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular. Would switching to Ubuntu Pro (and paying) help in this regard? Or which other ways of supporting are out there? (As you understood, I'm somewhat of a newbie in the Linuxverse.)

    How do you find and add OEM repositories?

    I just installed Kubuntu 22.04 on a Thinkpad, letting it take over (on purpose) the whole hard drive. Everything is working fine so far, all hardware seems to be working. If I take a look at `software-properties`, the "Other sources" list is empty: there are no ppa's added at the moment. On another Thinkpad I have Ubuntu 20.04 pre-installed. In the "Other sources" list I see some OEM repositories: they must have been added by the Lenovo people before shipping. I have two questions about this: 1. How necessary or useful are these OEM ppas? I fear that they may have important improvements for specific machines. 2. How do you find these OEM ppas? For example, what should I do to find such a ppa for the first Thinkpad (with Kubuntu), and see if it has useful software or drivers? *Edit*: just as an example, there's this list: http://oem.archive.canonical.com/dists/ But I have no idea how to choose from there, it's a bit of a labyrint and the names don't reveal very much. For example, there are several "jammy-..." folders; and if you enter one of them, say "jammy", there are many subfolders with very cryptic names.
