I doubt regular desktop usage would see much difference

Hello. I have another question about Fedora. I saw in some earlier versions, that in Cinnamon DE there was absent ability to specify own keyboard shortcuts to switch to another layout. Do someone know, is it possible now ?

I have not seen a specific shortcut to change keyboard layout, but you can assign a custom shortcut to a custom command; I don't know the command to change the layout

@mpozo87 , thank you, I'm not really sure that there are some commands for this, but this may also be helpful.

In Cinnamon-settings menu in Linux Mint earlier I was able to specify 'right win' key to switch layout, but in Fedora I was unable to do this. So I asked, maybe now situation changed =)

I guess that it depends on Cinnamon version, not Linux distribution

I am blind, this option is in Options... dialog

'disposición' means layout ?

@mpozo87 , thank you very much =)

you're welcome

Would there be any benefit if I move to secondary nvidia gpu instead of of the default Intel one? Is that even possible?

If you have a remotely fast enough intel hd and dont game or use opencl (or worse, cuda) There is little benefit in even having a dedicated card.

Maybe on weekend I'll try Fedora on my laptop =)

And of course, as linux user, the best bet is having an AMD post-rx2XX series if you need dedicated gpus. Open source drivers in the kernel, thus full 3d acceleration out of the box. Full open sauce opencl acceleration (ROCm) in the works and mostly done, to be upstreamed as well and thus out of the box opencl.

How do I get node-gyp in nodesource?

How do I remove nodesource if I can't?

<sadin> i have no experience with node, nor do I want any :)

<sadin> maybe this could help you somehow @rtyu1120 https://nodesource.com/resources/

Thanks!

I need to help a friend with some things regarding fedora, is there a way to connect to his computer via the internet?

something like screensharing or even ssh?

<sadin> @haabu you simply need to ensure he has a port forwarded in his modem for ssh then you can make an ssh login request from his public IP

aah okay. So thats what the problem was. I wasn't forwarding the port from the router to his computer

<sadin> @haabu :) also have him run "systemctl status sshd" to ensure the ssh server daemon is active

@sadin thanks!

<sadin> @haabu no problem, best of luck!

There’s been a lot of spam lately

Removed

sadly yes

Well tbh the fedora installer isn't the most straightforward either

But yeah, Debian installer isn't shown any love and it shows. Didn't they even want to scrap Live ISO altogether recently

Well tbh the fedora installer isn't the most straightforward either

what's difficult about it? I'd say it asks about the bare minimum that you really need to provide to install a system

How can I put this? It's not very linear? Like, you find you are doing things in a not so natural order?

Also, the partitioner is no fun at least for me. First of all, finding where it's hidden is not that straightforward either. Then using it is not so obvious too.

By the time you come out of there you feel like a hacker ?

Then there's the user account, which, unless it's changed, you make AFTER the installer has started installing?

Like wut?

Then there's the user account, which, unless it's changed, you make AFTER the installer has started installing?

that's really great IMHO, since this is an information that's not needed to start the installation

so instead of watching banners, the system is being installed in the background while you configure the rest of the system

Yeah but, are we done? Do I fill this? Soooooo

major timesaver im ny opinion

Confused me to hell the first time

for me it was "oh neat, finally someone noticed that I can configure a lot of stuff while the system is being installed instead of forcing me to watch the progress bar" ?

Depends on how you look at it then

My fave installer remains the Deepin one

It was designed as non-linear. Sorry it is a feature...

I see no reason at all for it to be done before the files start being copied

Ah

Pros and cons I guess

Guy like me I like to be taken step by step lol. But at least it's not that long 8 page ceremony that is Mint ?

Well tbh the fedora installer isn't the most straightforward either

Its... super easy. Anaconda has received plenty praise for being easy to understand and for its ease of use.

hahaha ?

this is like a farmer saying, we take the lives of out chicken seriously

In Cinnamon-settings menu in Linux Mint earlier I was able to specify 'right win' key to switch layout, but in Fedora I was unable to do this. So I asked, maybe now situation changed =)

I’m not at home now but I can check when I come back, if you want.

ERROR: S client not available

One of the farmers who supplies chicken to KFC said this in a documentary only to go on to show them being slaughtered by a machine ?

@Kohane, thanks, yes, if I'll not forget about it when my work day'll finish - I'll ask you about this =)

In what installer ever, do you make a user account before you install the system? None that I’ve ever seen.

I don’t understand that complaint at all

In what installer ever, do you make a user account before you install the system? None that I’ve ever seen.

In anaconda you make it while the system is installing, could count. :P

Yeah he was complaining that you make the account while installation is happening and how somehow that’s confusing

Yeah but, are we done? Do I fill this? Soooooo

You are done after that, its just two things to setup.

Which, it isn’t because it simply appends the user commands at the end.

And the setup will wait until you completed at least the user setup before offering to reboot.

Right

Yeah he was complaining that you make the account while installation is happening and how somehow that’s confusing

What does he think of windows then that takes 3 reboots with different settings each time?

You can’t create a user for a system that isn’t installed yet. That’s why I’m just unsatisfied with that complaint.

After installation partly and while and before. And best of all if you use enterprise hardware and have to load drivers manually in the installer.

Even windows does user account setup after copying system files over to disk ?

Ah well moving on

I don't think you follow Sadin

Take for example the Debian GUI installer or the Ubuntu one. They'll ask well in advance "hey bro what's your username" and use it later. But here you can see it's already installing and it's like oh yeah did you want a user?

"Then there's the user account, which, unless it's changed, you make AFTER the installer has started installing?" Thats pretty easy to understand, so I do follow. Regardless of installer "useradd" is run once a base system has been copied over.

I don't know that shit in the background and frankly it's none of any casual user's business

Your issue is that user credentials are added during the base system copy, and that you find that confusing.

Yes, because it SEEMS like your done but you aren't

We can agree to disagree here then, because it doesnt seem like your done till the installer says "complete"

I mean it's installing after all, you can just sit there and not fill in a user waiting for it to finish

Which they all do present you with a complete message instructing you to reboot

ALSO technically speaking it is linear, because its entering additional user information at the end, which it would do anyway :)

I just think Fedora's installer could be nicer is all

Every installer presents a progress bar, that is all what you're speaking of is.
